Grecian Rocks Dive Site in the Florida Keys, Florida Waterproof 3D Dive Site Card
This 5-1/2 x 8-1/2" card provides a detailed depiction of the Grecian Rocks dive site in the Florida Keys, Florida. Each waterproof card is double sided, made of durable PVC plastic and is designed to be taken on the dive. They are also 3 hole punched to fit in standard log books. Grecian Rocks is a crescent-shaped patch reef located just south-southwest of Key Largo Dry Rocks and is marked by a wooden marker and 12 mooring buoys designated with the letter "G". The reef itself is half a mile long, running from north to south, and 150 yards wide. Grecian Rocks is a very interesting dive site because it is one of the most unusual reefs in the upper keys. Even though it is located well inshore its fore reef is highly developed and similar to that of most outer bank reefs in the area. Thus, divers can explore a very well-developed spur and groove system that is virtually covered by a large variety of corals. At the same time, divers can enjoy the calm conditions of inshore reefs.Grecian Rocks Dive Site in the Florida Keys, Florida:

Linda Bergroth via La Maison D'Anna G |
A touch of Nordic, pattern and industrial
I found this wonderful apartment via one of my favourite blogs La Maison D'Anna G. It has been created by Linda Bergroth who is a Helsinki and Paris based designer. You can really see the Nordic influence in the outcome.
I absolutely LOVE the bathroom in the last picture; the mix of industrial lights, the mid-century dresser and geometric tiled floor is totally fab!

Other work | Attorney, and three-term U.S. Congressman |
Anson George McCook (October 10, 1835 – December 30, 1917) was a brevet brigadier general in the Union Army during the American Civil War, attorney, and three-term postbellum U.S. Congressman from New York. He was a member of the "Fighting McCooks," one of America's most prolific military families during the Civil War.
Early life and career[edit]
McCook was born in Steubenville, Ohio, to Dr. John McCook and his wife Catherine. He was one of five brothers, all of whom would serve as officers in the Civil War. After receiving his education in the local public schools, McCook traveled via overland train in 1854 to California and spent several years on the Pacific Coast, mostly engaged in mining in California and what became Nevada. Upon his return to Ohio in 1859, he studied law in the family business, Stanton & McCook, and was admitted to the bar. However, he did not get to establish his own legal career as the Civil War erupted and McCook offered his services to the army, following President Abraham Lincoln's call for volunteers to put down the rebellion.
Civil War[edit]
Mc'Cook enlisted in the 2nd Ohio Infantry, a three-months regiment, and was commissioned as a captain. He saw combat at the First Battle of Bull Run in Northern Virginia. When the regiment was reorganized as a three-years regiment, McCook re-enlisted and was named as major. He was subsequently promoted to lieutenant colonel and then colonel of the 2nd Ohio, serving in the Army of the Cumberland under such leaders as Don Carlos Buell, William S. Rosecrans, and George H. Thomas. Among his battles were Perryville, Stones River, Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge. During the Atlanta Campaign, McCook commanded a brigade of infantry and was distinguished by his actions at the Battle of Peachtree Creek, where his coolness under fire and his tactical leadership won acclaim in the official reports. He was mustered out in late 1864, along with his regiment.
Governor John Brough named McCook as the colonel of the newly raised 194th Ohio Infantry, a one-year regiment which served in the Shenandoah Valley under Philip Sheridan. Again Mc'Cook commanded a brigade with efficiency, and was brevetted as a brigadier general of volunteers for his gallant and meritorious service. He resigned from the army in 1865.
Postbellum career[edit]
Mc'Cook returned to Steubenville following the war and was admitted to the bar in 1866. He served as the U.S. assessor of internal revenue taxes from November 1865 until May 1873, when he moved to New York City, established a law practice, and entered politics. He was the founder and editor of the Daily Register (later known as the New York Law Journal). He served as president of the New York Law Publishing Company until his death. He became close friends with several leading Republicans, including former comrades in arms James Garfield, Rutherford B. Hayes, and Ohio Senator John Sherman.
McCook was elected to the United States House of Representatives in the Forty-fifth Congress as a delegate from lower Manhattan, and served from 1877 until 1883. He was defeated for a fourth term in the elections of 1882. Among his duties was serving on the House committee that oversaw military affairs. In December 1882, the Republican Caucus elected McCook as the Secretary of the United States Senate, a post he held until 1893 when the Democrats regained control of the Senate and replaced him with former Confederate general William R. Cox. McCook adopted an employee merit system and resisted senators' strong and persistent pressures for patronage appointments. He modernized office procedures and instituted a program for preserving the Senate's historical archives.
Mayor William L. Strong appointed McCook as city chamberlain of the city of New York and he served in that capacity from 1895 to 1898, as well as continuing to run his publishing company.
He died in New York City and was buried in Union Cemetery in his native Steubenville.

Category: Violence Against Women
Market Watch's Ruth Mantell interviewed NOW President Terry O'Neill about the recent White House report on women: "Women have enjoyed substantial gains in employment and education in the last few decades, but there's still room for progress, according to a wide-ranging White House report on women released Tuesday, the first day of women's history month."
Read More...Jessica Stern writes for The Washington Post Opinion page: "Forty percent of reported sexual assaults result in prosecution in civilian courts, according to the 2005 National Crime Victimization Study. But the analogous figure in the military is just 8 percent. Victims in the services are not guaranteed access to military lawyers, nor is the confidentiality of conversations with victims' advocates guaranteed."
Read More...Michael Isikoff reports for NBC News: "Fourteen current and former members of the U.S. military charged in a lawsuit filed Tuesday that the Pentagon turned a blind eye when they reported being sexually harassed, assaulted and raped by fellow service members while on active duty. Interviews by NBC News with some of the plaintiffs in the case reveal disturbing and previously unreported allegations of sexual abuse in the military, including some in the war zones of Afghanistan and Iraq."
Read More...Kanya D'Almeida writes for IPS: "Despite birthing 100 percent of the world's children, growing 70 percent of the world's food and performing 60 percent of the world's labour, women only receive a fraction - a mere 10 percent - of the world's income."
Read More...Patty Skuster and Susan Schewel write on RH Reality Check: "It became tragically clear this week that hurdles to safe, legal abortion can prove life threatening. In West Philadelphia, Karnamaya Mongar lost her life in the horrific facility where Dr. Kermit Gosnell killed and maimed immigrant women and women of color seeking to end unwanted pregnancies. She is one of tens of thousands of poor women who die every year at the hands of butchers and quacks."
Read More...Nick Baumann writes for Mother Jones: "Drugged, raped, and pregnant? Too bad. Republicans are pushing to limit rape and incest cases eligible for government abortion funding."
Read More...Paul Krugman writes in The New York Times: "When you heard the terrible news from Arizona, were you completely surprised? Or were you, at some level, expecting something like this atrocity to happen?"
Read More...Jodi Jacobson writes on RH Reality Check: "Last March, following passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act, a rock was thrown through the window of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords' (D-AZ) office in Tuscon, Arizona. The gas line was cut at the home of Rep. Tom Perriello's (D-Va.) brother . . . These tactics are no different from--indeed they are taken straight from the playbook of--the violent anti-choice movement in this country..."
Read More...Feminist blogger and author Jessica Valenti opines for the Washington Post about what the Julian Assange rape case reveals about how the American media and people really view rape and its victims: "Now, we don't know if Assange is guilty or innocent - but we do know that the accusations against him have been badly reported, misconstrued and generally pooh-poohed. In the same way that Assange's document dump held a mirror to U.S. diplomacy, the accusations against him and the subsequent fallout reflect our country's overly narrow understanding of sexual assault, and just how far we are from Sweden's legal standard."
Read More...Associated Press reporter Jessie L. Bonner writes about a little known Idaho rape-by-fraud law that could be changed in the next year's state legislature: "A quirk in Idaho law that prevented an unmarried woman from pressing rape charges after she was tricked into having sex with a man she didn't know could be changed in the 2011 Legislature. Idaho law says that a rape charge can be filed if a woman is tricked into believing the person committing the act is her husband. But the rape-by-fraud statute doesn't protect the unwed."
Read More...Saeed Shabaz of The Final Call reports on the disturbing sexual assault case in New York City that has raised concerns about abuse of young girls in the Manhattan Family Court system by an employee assigned to protect them: "A rape case continues to draw outrage and anger from women's organizations as more is learned about the alleged courthouse assault of a teenage girl and a proposed plea deal that offered the alleged rapist no jail time. The National Organization for Women, the New York Coalition of One Hundred Black Women, Inc., the National Action Network and the president of Bennett College for women were among those astounded by the alleged crime and proposed plea agreement."
Read More...Amanda Marcotte writes on guardian.co.uk: "There are many beliefs that propel rightwing rage, but anti-feminism is one of the few that manages to inspire so much violence. Indeed, in all this talk about taxes, economic stimulus packages and other policy issues, let's not forget how much gender-based rage is motivating the hard right this election."
Read More...Delaware's News Journal reporters Ginger Gibson and Chad Livengood reports on NOW's endorsement of Delaware Senate candidate Chris Coons: "At the NOW endorsement at Delaware Democratic Party headquarters in New Castle, Coons said female voters are vital to his Election Day success on Tuesday."
Read More...Nima Elbagir reports for CNN: "Many of Congo's rape survivors took to the streets Sunday to speak out against sexual violence in a country where it has become a weapon of war. 'My heart is in pain, why are you raping me?' sang the rape victims, many of whom left hospital beds to join the march in eastern Congo."
Read More...Jackson Katz writes on Huffington Post: "[U]ntil Linda McMahon decided to run as a Republican for the United States Senate, she was one-half of one of the most culturally destructive, and blatantly misogynistic, business partnerships in the history of popular entertainment. Under Linda and her husband Vince McMahon's leadership, the WWE has featured some of the most brutal, violent and hateful depictions of women in all of media culture over the past twenty years."

Monday next week I'm to appear on a webinar panel talking about journalist relationships. You can sign up for it here if you've always wondered whether I talk in dulcet tones or a high pitch falsetto.
The Econsultancy blog has featured much on blogger relations, this article from Henry Elliss provides a rather good list of outreach don'ts.
However I wanted to write a piece of my own, partly to draw attention to the upcoming webinar hosted by Vocus (let's not veil the truth) and partly to add an Econsultancy staff blogger's opinion to the debate.
So what are the best ways for PRs to engage with Econsultancy's writers? I'm going to start with some entertaining flippancy that nevertheless holds more than a grain of truth and then move on to some best practice for PRs.
A lot of these are dos and not don'ts, but to fit the commandment theme I've had to use a few double negatives. Forgive me.

One of the most common obstacles to blogging is the feeling that you haven't got anything to write about.
This prevents new bloggers from getting into the habit, and prevents more seasoned bloggers from keeping it going.
You want to write, but you need something to write about; what's your subject going to be?
by Peter Meinertzhagen 02 August 2013 10:16am 18 comments
Building relationships with bloggers can be time consuming, but if done with integrity it can bring fantastic success to a brand in the way of genuine advocacy.
Quite simply, if you take the time to engage with bloggers in the correct manner, then bloggers in turn will engage with your brand as part of a mutually beneficial relationship and more often than not, go above and beyond what they're asked to do.

Recently, the New York Times published a review of the Tesla Model S electric car.
The review, written by a well-known journalist, John Broder, was titled Stalled Out on Tesla's Electric Highway, and as the title suggests, was not favorable to Tesla. According to Tesla CEO Elon Musk, a well-known entrepreneur, Broder's review was, amongst other things, "bogus." Not one to shy away from the spotlight, Musk took to the web to prove he was right.

Martyn Yang is just your average blogger. His hobby: writing about a number of Hasbro product lines, including Nerf.
So it's not all that surprising that Yang, who lives in Australia, was eager to respond to an email he received from a Hasbro employee asking if he'd like to give away a popular Nerf accessory to some of his site's readers.

Last week Sally Whittle wrote about the 'top 5 amazing PR offers' sitting in her inbox at the time, taking a comical dig at some bad examples of blogger engagement in the process.
Her advice is valid, and I suggest taking a read, but it's a shame that it's usually the poor examples of blogger relations that often inspire such pieces.
It's really not rocket science. Do your research, read the blog, offer the blogger something that's interesting or more importantly, relevant - and try not to buy them off in the process. The 'treating bloggers like people' stuff also applies, but that's largely just common decency that should be applied to any communications - so doesn't classify as a rule of blogger engagement for me.
As such, I've put together a selection of examples of great collaborations below.
Stats should, as always, be taken with a pinch of salt – since the real benefit of this kind of activity is usually longer term. But in some cases, there are some figures to back up particular campaigns.

It's official: Apple's attempt to revolutionise the textbook industry has 'succeeded'.
Just three days in, more than 350,000 textbooks have been downloaded via iBookstore - and iBooks Author has been downloaded 90,000 times.
In fact, over the course of a single weekend Apple has established "a very strong following with authors, publishers, faculty and students and may capture 95% of digital textbook market."

In the age of the internet, every individual may have their own personal printing press, but that doesn't mean that the same legal protections afforded to journalists are always available to bloggers.
Something that Crystal Cox, an Oregon-based blogger who is facing a $2.5m judgment for publishing information an investment firm alleged was defamatory, knows all too well.

Businesses are usually at the forefront of online marketing. But when it comes to utilising social platforms, there's a lot they could learn from humble bloggers.
In this post, I look at some social promotional tactics that mega-brands could benefit from, if only they could carry them off.
by Kevin Gibbons 24 November 2011 09:23am 0 comments
The cozy relationships brands have forged with bloggers have been controversial from the start.
Are marketing and PR initiatives that target bloggers smart strategy, or are they little more than a flawed "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine" approach to social media?
The concerns over the latter have been so great that government agencies have scrutinized how brands work with bloggers, and how those bloggers promote those brands to their readers.

Re: Really?
I don't think it's advertised anywhere that the Nexus 7 can connect to a TV via HDMI. Did you automatically assume it could?

Re: Really?
Well yes I assumed...think about it everything is becoming digital and so you would think that you font always want to watch a movie on your tablet. So now I hope I can watch the movie I bought on the play store via my computer to my TV using HDMI....at least apple gets it right with tablets

Re: Really?
I feel your pain.....I like many of the other N7 owners figured on miricast working wirelessly with the N7, but that hasn't happened.....I actually found a great alternative though for watching content on my HD TV...I bought an android mini computer on Amazon for $55.00 a mini wireless keyboard for $30.00 and installed XBMC watch all the movies and content I would ever want.....also surf the web, and do anything I can do on my tablet or PC.

Re: Really?
My mistake, I misread your "can I watch" as "I can watch". I have no idea if that will work or not.
Re: Really?
Sad thing is my old Archos Internet 70 tablet from 2010 has hdmi output on it and I only paid $299 for it back then and it didn't even run Froyo at first. But at least I knew that the N7 didn't have it when I bought it. The thing that caught by surprise was not being able to use a headset with a mic . Thst just plain stupid.

Re: Really?
There's no way I'd have spent twice the price on an iPad Mini just to get the potential for video out (with an extra adapter) and end up with a device lacking in every other aspect. In any case, got a DLNA app so I'm sorted on the TV, my N7, and my Galaxy S . But I'm puzzled. If I want to watch content on my 46" Samsung, the N7 wouldn't be my first choice to deliver it? What am I missing?

Re: Really?
The OP wants to be able to view a movie bought on Google Play movies on a large screen TV, and was hoping that he could play it on TV by connecting the Nexus 7 to it.
To the OP: You can play any of your Google Play Movies directly on your computer. So if you wanted to watch it on a big screen, all you need to do is hook up your computer via HDMI to your TV, go to play.google.com/movies, select your movie, and click Play. You can then expand it to full screen. Not sure about HD content, though.
I think people often lose sight of the fact that the Nexus 7 is a sub-$200 device that already packs a huge punch, and was originally intended to be a budget-friendly device, not a do-everything ultramachine. If Google/Asus loaded more things in it like microHDMI out, SD support, and rear-facing cameras, we'd be looking at a device that is closer to $300, and therefore not as phenomenal of a value. - 01-14-2013, 01:47 PM Thread Author #16

Too bad you didn't get a Blackberry Playbook which has HDMI port. But then no Netflix or Skype and may not be able to get movies you want. Maybe Netgear Neo.

Re: Really?
Since it doesn't have an HDMI port an HDMI cable will never work. Maybe Google will at sometime provide an OTG solution using the USB port. Is this possible or maybe already possible if the N7 is rooted?

Re: Really?
Thanks B. At home my AV kit is all "smart" so I couldn't visualise a scenario where I'd have content on the N7, but not on the rest. And if that was the case, I'd DLNA it over anyway, or copy it to my laptop, which does have HDMI out.
However, on a similar post, someone has pointed out that the 7" N7 format sits nicely between the phone and a laptop, and might be taken away when the laptop would be left at home. So, hotel TV with HDMI in, yes, I could see that.
I did seriously consider the 64Gb BB Playbook which is incredibly cheap over here and has HDMI out and better on-board audio. But the screen wasn't as good and as I don't have one of their phones, I had no use for the sync'ing, and just didn't want to have to learn a new OS, even ignoring BB10 coming out, which may/may not save them.
So, yes, I can see a use on the N7 and might have been ready to spend, say, £25 more to get it. But its lack is just not a deal-breaker for me. Other folks MMV.Mike

Re: Really?
To the OP, some simple research up front would have rectified this situation for you. Why would you purchased something having not done your due diligence on it? As has been mentioned previously in this thread, the reason the Nexus 7 is so affordable is that it doesn't have every bell and whistle. I weighed this out before I made the purchased and figured I could live without HDMI out, although it would have been nice. I don't regret my purchase one bit as the N7 is a pretty killer machine and I get tons of use out it.

Wedge a perfect fit for surging Tribe
Skipper has club one win away from capturing AL pennant
CLEVELAND -- The walls in Eric Wedge's office are littered with the type of token motivational posters you'd find for sale in a SkyMall catalogue. They attempt to inspire the reader with nature shots and definitions of words like teamwork, focus, perseverance and conviction.
But providing a welcome respite from the corny mental catalysts are the items pinned to a bulletin board in the corner near Wedge's desk. If you're looking for rugged, kick-in-the-gut inspiration, you could do a lot worse than to check out the John Wayne calendar that hangs from that board. And if you're looking for some insight into the 39-year-old Wedge's coaching influences from his Indiana roots, check out the newspaper article he's cut out and hung up about Bobby Knight. Knight's name was brought up the other day, because "The General" had telegrammed Wedge to congratulate the Indians' skipper on his winning The Sporting News AL Manager of the Year Award. And one could hear echoes of Knight's edgy tone when Wedge outlined his beliefs in what a manager should bring to the table. "It's about being consistent with who you are and being strong and understanding what comes with the territory," Wedge said. "Nothing upsets me more than people having a job and complaining about what comes with it. I don't understand that. If you don't like it, do something else. Otherwise, shut up." When Wedge took over the Tribe's managerial reins in 2003, he knew what came with the territory -- losses. And lots of 'em. The Indians were a team in strict rebuilding mode, and the focus in that first year was on player development, not division dominance. General manager Mark Shapiro hired Wedge, who had been in charge of the Tribe's Triple-A Buffalo squad, because he knew he was putting his faith in a manager who shared his organizational beliefs. "He knew our standards, our expectations and what we wanted a Cleveland Indian player to be," Shapiro said. "He was an outstanding teacher. I knew when I hired Eric, nobody would care more than Eric, nobody would work harder than him, nobody would be more vested than him, and, because of all that, nobody would be a better partner for me." This was all well and good in 2003, of course. But what about when the grand plans of returning to postseason prominence panned out? Would Wedge still be the right fit? That question seems to have been answered this fall. Wedge's Indians, in an American League Championship Series battle with the Red Sox, are a lone win away from the organization's first World Series appearance in a decade. And Wedge's managerial moves have played no small part in their getting to this lofty state. Just as many of his players are getting their first taste of the steaming glare of October, Wedge found himself to be the subject of national scrutiny in the American League Division Series, when, with his club holding a 2-1 advantage in the series, he put his faith in Paul Byrd for Game 4, rather than starting ace C.C. Sabathia on short rest. Wedge's decision was a statement, of sorts. The heightened importance of postseason ball wasn't going to force him into moves he wouldn't make in a regular season that saw the Indians rack up 96 wins. And, of course, Wedge's belief in Byrd was justified, as the veteran put in a gutsy effort in the Indians' series-clinching, 6-4 win. Where he once drew criticism from the second-guessers in the national press, Wedge ended up drawing raves in the industry after that win. "The manager's really the only guy that knows the quality of his people," Yankees manager Joe Torre said after that game. "Eric Wedge is a fine young manager. We talked a little bit this spring, and I said, 'You're going to learn from [2006].' Not that he did anything wrong. It's just when your ballclub sort of tries to stop the slide, it becomes very difficult. But he certainly didn't take any negatives into the clubhouse with him. He's a special kid." The Indians' fourth-place finish in '06 was a test for all involved with the club. As Shapiro analyzed ways to fix what was ailing that team, he had to ponder whether Wedge was still the right man for the job. This '07 season, after all, was the last guaranteed year on Wedge's contract. But while the '06 finish was a disappointment, Shapiro acknowledged that he was just as at fault for many of the club's flaws -- namely, an unreliable bullpen -- as anybody. And in assessing Wedge's performance in his first four years at the helm, he saw maturation that has carried into '07. "He's made adjustments every year," Shapiro said of Wedge. "Everything from bullpen usage, to the way he's communicated with the team, to his role in individual evaluations and decision-making." Wedge's growth has run parallel to that of his young, core players.

► Loss of Gadd45γ disrupts Sry expression and causes XY gonadal sex reversal ► Gadd45γ interacts with Map3k4 during testis determination ► Loss of Gadd45γ and Map3k4 disrupts p38 MAPK signaling and GATA4 phosphorylation ► Double-knockout embryos lacking p38α and p38β exhibit XY gonadal sex reversal
Loss of the kinase MAP3K4 causes mouse embryonic gonadal sex reversal due to reduced expression of the testis-determining gene, Sry. However, because of widespread expression of MAP3K4, the cellular basis of this misregulation was unclear. Here, we show that mice lacking Gadd45γ also exhibit XY gonadal sex reversal caused by disruption to Sry expression. Gadd45γ is expressed in a dynamic fashion in somatic cells of the developing gonads from 10.5 days postcoitum (dpc) to 12.5 dpc. Gadd45γ and Map3k4 genetically interact during sex determination, and transgenic overexpression of Map3k4 rescues gonadal defects in Gadd45γ-deficient embryos. Sex reversal in both mutants is associated with reduced phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and GATA4. In addition, embryos lacking both p38α and p38β also exhibit XY gonadal sex reversal. Taken together, our data suggest a requirement for GADD45γ in promoting MAP3K4-mediated activation of p38 MAPK signaling in embryonic gonadal somatic cells for testis determination in the mouse.

Plum Island Animal Disease Center:
DHS Has Made Significant Progress Implementing Security Recommendations, but Several Recommendations Remain Open
GAO-08-306R: Published: Dec 17, 2007. Publicly Released: Dec 17, 2007.
Additional Materials:
- Accessible Text:
For many years, the Department of Agriculture (USDA) owned and operated the Plum Island Animal Disease Center, located on an island in the Long Island Sound off the coast of New York. Scientists at Plum Island, often with the assistance of scientists from other countries, diagnose the pathogens that cause foreign animal diseases and then conduct research to, among other things, develop vaccines to protect against them. Some of the pathogens maintained at Plum Island, such as foot-and-mouth disease, are highly contagious to livestock and could cause catastrophic economic losses in the agricultural sector if they are released outside the facility. Other pathogens known to have been maintained at Plum Island could also cause illness and death in humans. For these reasons, USDA conducts its work on Plum Island within a sealed biocontainment area that has special safety features designed to contain the pathogens. After the terrorist attacks on the United States, new laws and regulations required officials at the Plum Island Animal Disease Center to further restrict access to the pathogens in order to protect animal health and, thereby, also help reduce the possibility of bioterrorism. In addition, Plum Island and its assets and liabilities were transferred from USDA to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Today, USDA continues to conduct its diagnostic and research work on Plum Island, but it now does so in coordination with DHS as part of a broader joint strategy to protect against the intentional or accidental introduction of foreign animal diseases. In 2005, we reported that, as part of that strategy, DHS had started to develop plans to replace the Plum Island Animal Disease Center with a new, modernized facility. Since then, DHS has selected six possible sites for this new facility, including Plum Island. This planned higher-level biosecurity facility will enable the department to expand the research currently conducted on the island to include work on higher-consequence biological threats posed by zoonotic (i.e., transmittable from animals to humans) and foreign animal diseases.
As a part of our routine audit work, we have been tracking the status of the 2003 Plum Island security recommendations. In addition, in May 2007, we received a request from Senator Charles Schumer to report on this matter. On September 28, 2007, we briefed interested congressional staff on the extent to which DHS had implemented the recommendations at that time. Because of broad-based congressional interest, under the Comptroller General's statutory authority to conduct evaluations on his own initiative, we are issuing this report, which summarizes that briefing. To evaluate DHS's efforts to implement the Plum Island security recommendations, we reviewed pertinent DHS and USDA documents; interviewed DHS, USDA, and other personnel responsible for Plum Island's security; and, during a visit to Plum Island in 2005, observed improvements in physical security and the procedures securing the biocontainment area as well as the facility's infrastructure. However, we did not conduct a comprehensive audit of all decisions that DHS and USDA have made to improve Plum Island security. We provided DHS and USDA an opportunity to verify facts of this report. Officials from both agencies provided us with additional information, which has been incorporated into this report. We performed our work from February 2004 through December 2007. In summary, DHS has made significant progress and has implemented 18 of the 24 recommendations. However, implementation of the 6 remaining recommendations is still under way. In 2003, physical security at Plum Island was deficient in several ways. For example, alarms and door sensors for detecting intruders were not fully operational; controls to account for the keys to the island's facilities were deficient; and USDA was not providing sufficient physical security for certain assets, including those critical to the continued operation of the facility. These vulnerabilities were particularly troubling because a strike was under way, and sabotage of the island's infrastructure had already occurred. DHS has since taken many actions in response to our recommendations. For example, alarms and door sensors are now in use, and DHS has implemented procedures to better control access to keys to facilities. In addition, the department has better secured certain features of the physical infrastructure that supports the continued operation of the Plum Island Animal Disease Center. DHS has also improved the security of North America's only foot-and-mouth disease vaccine bank. This bank represents years of cooperative research performed by Canada, Mexico, and the United States, and the material it contains is considered a critical asset for controlling a large outbreak.

The Land Acquisition Bill was today cleared by the Union Cabinet, making mandatory the consent of 80 per cent of people whose land is taken for private projects.
In the case of Public-Private Partnership projects, the bill makes mandatory obtaining of consent of 70 per cent of the people whose land will be for acquired.
The bill was given the go-ahead in the Cabinet presided by Prime Minister Manmonan Singh.
The bill was finalised by the Rural Development Ministry incorporating the suggestion of UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi who had asked the government to take the consent from 80 per cent land owners for purchase of land for the purpose of setting up industries and PPP projects.
Sources had said that Gandhi was not in favour of the Group of Ministers' proposal that the consent of two-thirds of "land losers" (from whom land would be purchased) was enough for acquiring land for industries and PPP projects.
The GoM had suggested that the consent clause be kept at 67 per cent for PPP projects and private projects.
The government had constituted the GoM after some ministers voiced strong reservations against certain provisions of the bill at the Cabinet meeting.
Minister of State for Rural Development Lalchand Kataria had yesterday told the Rajya Sabha that the government intends to introduce the official amendments to the Land Acquisition and Rehabilitation and Resettlement Bill, 2011 in the Lok Sabha in the winter session.
Kataria had also told the reporters that the bill has a provision for return of the unutilised land.
Land Acquisition Act, 1894 had no provision for return of the unutilised land.
Realty developers expect prices to go up after Bill approval
Real estate developers and consultant today said land prices in the country will go up, affecting housing rates, after Cabinet approved the Land Acquisition Bill.
"It is not a good development for the industry. This will definitely increase land cost and housing prices," Confederation of Real Estate Developers' Associations of India (CREDAI) National President Lalit Kumar Jain siad.
If the Bill gets the Parliament's nod, developers will also hesitate to go for big projects, he added.
Expressing similar sentiments, National Real Estate

Wilson Learns More about Macy's Believe Campaign and the Make-A-Wish FoundationCHARLOTTE, N.C. - Macy's at SouthPark Mall is not only geared up for shopping, but it's also working hard to help make wishes come true for children with life threatening illnesses. Wilson was there today to find out all about Macy's "Believe" campaign and their work with the Make-A-Wish Foundation. He had the opportunity to meet a lot of great kids from St. Anne Catholic School who have worked hard for the campaign. But his special guest was Emily, a National Believe Day wish recipient. Emily will be going to New York City at the end of the month to see "Wicked" on Broadway. You can help make a wish come true for a child with a life threatening illness. Just write a letter to Santa and drop it in the Santa Letter drop box at your local Macy's and for every letter that is dropped into the box, Macy's will donate $1 to the Make-A--Wish Foundation, up to $1 million. Tomorrow, December 14th is National Believe Day when Macy's will double their donation to $2 for every Santa letter receives in his letter drop box on that day. This is the 5th year that Macy's "Believe" campaign has been held to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The foundation has made wishes come true for more than 170,000 children with life threatening illnesses. Find out more about Macy's "Believe" campaign and how you can help the Make-A-Wish Foundation at their weblinks below.

"Corby", as most people seem to refer to John, was Ohio born and bred. Hailing from the hills of Hocking County, and ending up in the great Capital City by way of the Ohio State University.
Corby is what many would refer to as a "regular guy". He does "regular guy" things,(i.e. watches LOTS of television) drives a "regular guy" vehicle (Dodge Durango in case you wondered) and likes "regular guy" food. (Chili dogs are one of the staples of his diet) John is able to maintain this normalcy despite being listened to regularly by tens of thousands of people who depend of his daily guidance in order to conduct their lives. From simply nudging people in the right direction when it comes to election day, or saving them from making relationship mistakes, John conducts his daily dose of regularity, with, well, regularity.
If you have just recently begun listening to the show, you may wonder why so many people say "happy birthday" at the beginning of their conversation with John. Here is the scoop...
Quite a few years ago, in the late fall, John was relaying a story about some famous individual who happened to be celebrating a birthday. A caller mistook the discussion to be referring to that day being John's birthday and wished him a happy birthday. John kindly accepted the well wishes, but gently pointed out that it was not his birthday. Nearly every caller the rest of that afternoon began their chat with John by saying happy birthday. For some unknown reason, the "happy birthday" salutation stuck, and has continued to this day. Yes, sometimes it gets aggravating. And his actual birthday, March 26th.

The Notre Dame community is bidding farewell to two residence hall rectors who will not return in the fall, John Mojzisek of St. Edward's Hall and Father Tom Bednar of Zahm Hall.
Mojzisek, a Notre Dame alumnus, leaves St. Edward's Hall after one year there.
He said that although he has enjoyed his experience, his heart is in counseling and teaching. He plans to return to Baltimore, his hometown, to continue work in these areas.
"The students have been very supportive of my decision," he said. "[They are] exceptional young men who are creative and very energetic."
Mojzisek will also leave his position with the Masters in Divinity Program where he taught pastoral counseling, and his job as a leader in the Notre Dame Encounter retreats.
Bednar of Zahm Hall will also not return next semester after three years there. He is unsure of his assignment for next year.
"It's been a great experience here," said Bednar of his time at Notre Dame and Zahm Hall. "There's a great sense of community and service among the guys."
The Office of Student Affairs has named Daniel Parrish as Bednar's replacement.
Parrish is a University of Portland graduate who is completing his masters of divinity at Notre Dame. He will be ordained a priest next April.
Father Tom Eckert will succeed Mojzisek as rector at St. Edward's Hall. The Notre Dame alumnus from Huntington, Ill was ordained a priest on April 26.

GRANITE CITY — Among their tools are athletic tape, ice and heat and a wealth of knowledge built on years of training and education.
They are certified athletic trainers like Keli Keener, who devotes many hours of time toward keeping the Belleville West High School athletes healthy and on the field.
Keener was among the group of Southwestern Conference athletic trainers who met Wednesday at Granite City High.
As part of National Athletic Training Month in March as recognized by the National Athletic Trainer's Association, the group was joined by the conference's athletic directors as well as Belleville Mayor Mark Eckert, East St. Louis Mayor Alvin Parks and several other mayors.
"What we have in Keli is she's there every day," Belleville West Athletic Director Bill Schmidt said. "She's there at night for games, she's there on Saturdays for practices. She treats kids in the training room, she monitors the floor and the fields, she goes out to the practices.
"I don't know what we'd do without them --and I can't imagine ever having to go backwards to an area where we didn't have trained medical personnel on the bench at practices and games."
Keener and the athletic trainers at Belleville East (Aaron Kremmel), Althoff (Meghan Gehrs), O'Fallon (Brandon Kircher) and East St. Louis (Lindsay Katz) are all provided by Memorial Hospital in Belleville.
Keener is in her eighth year as the athletic trainer at Belleville West. She grew up in Bethalto and played tennis, basketball and softball at Civic Memorial High before playing college tennis at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.
"We get there in the afternoons, but we are there until everything is over," Keener said. You've just got to be around all the time. It's girls soccer season now, so we do see a lot more knee injuries and ankle injuries"
Being at one school helps the athletic trainers develop a relationship with coaches and players.
"We work with them all and sometimes we even see them through middle school," Keener said of the players she works with and treats. "They come in for summer camps and we know them through there all the way up through their senior years."
Kremmel played sports at Dupo High School and McKendree University. As a result he has seen both sides of his profession.
"Being an athletic trainer and being at the high school full-time is a great benefit to the athletes, to the coaches, everyone," said Kremmel, in his fourth year at Belleville East and seventh overall as an athletic trainer. "It allows us to develop a relationship with the kids, the parents and the coaches and helps in really streamlining treatment as much as we can."
Many area high schools have added athletic trainers to their support staff in recent years. Among their duties are diagnosing injuries and injury prevention, providing first responder care and also helping athletes after injuries or surgery with the rehabilitation process.
Michelle Wessel is a physical therapist at Memorial Hospital who oversees the sports rehabilitation program and the athletic trainers.
"They're pretty autonomous," Wessel said. "They pretty much run their own show at their schools. I basically coordinate their schedules, their coverage and serve as a physician liaison."
Wessel ran cross country and track at Belleville West.
"When I was in high school the coach taped you," Wessel said. "They took care of it, put you in the cold whirlpool and did their own thing."
Things have changed a lot in the past decade, with athletic trainers taking on a much more important role.
"The athletic trainers at the schools are invaluable," Wessel said. "It speaks volumes about their training and their abilities, to handle emergency response care, first care, and things of that nature. I know the schools are glad that they are there, the athletes are glad and so are we."
Schmidt and other current and former coaches much prefer having athletic trainers around than go back to the days when they were handling many of the medical duties themselves.
"You're looking at one of the worst ankle-tapers in the history of coaches," Schmidt said. "We did all of our training, we taped all of our ankles, diagnosed our own sprains and injuries. They're pretty much unsung heroes, they kind of go under the radar.
"They'd be happy if they were never used, but they're used quite a bit."

There is an entrance fee for the Central Area and for Lower Blair (if you park in front of Blair III). Otherwise, access to the crags is free. The fee areas are Federal land so Golden Eagle and Golden Age passes are accepted. The camping, once totally free in the surrounding areas, has become more restricted. There is a fee campground in the Central Area with tables and outhouses. Otherwise, free camping is permitted where ever it's not explicitly prohibited. Laramie is a college town with some local brew and dining available a mere 10 miles away. There are a great number of moderate classics as well as some stiffer grades for the big guns out there.

NASA's Robot Surgeon
NASA has been testing a remote-controlled robot surgeon in an undersea laboratory off the coast of Florida. For one exercise, surgical researchers 1,250 miles away sent commands to the robot, which managed to successfully suture a badly damaged vein in the wounded arm of a "patient simulator." With the possibility of human injury on future Lunar and Martian outposts, NASA is hoping that the use of surgical robots and "telemedicine" will delay the need for medical doctor astronauts. The article states that the robots should eventually be able to perform "most operations." I hope "most operations" includes "the surgery required to repair an unfeeling robot doctor's horrible mistakes." Oh, and hopefully collagen injections too.

Word for the Travel Wise (10/20/06)
Today's word is an Arabic word used in Egypt:

My Language Exchange is an excellent site in making friends across the globe while zoning in on the areas that give you the most trouble in your language of choice. While most services are free, contacting other members does cost a very small fee. Other learning tools for free standard Arabic online include this Learn Arabic site which has some remarkable lessons. The audio sounds a bit off for me, but they've got both the Naskh script (easy to read when learning the alphabet) and the Latin spelling of the letter. Babel Arabic is another good source.

I'm with Walleye, 2-3 hooks for crawlers, 1 for minnows or leeches, a few beads and a blade. Sometimes I add a float or 2 to get the harness off the bottom. A lot of people tie them too long-5-6' I don't see the purpose in this.
I like to make my own as well. I like 2 walleye wide gaps by Gamakatsu 3 4mm beads and a blade gold is my favorite. I do like 5' to 6' long harnesses for trolling with dipsy divers. Does that make sense or is it a waist of line?
have you used any of the eyemax harnesses . i here they are killers for big Erie eyes.
OK, behind a Dipsy 5-6' makes sense. I have never used a Dipsy for Walleye, mostly because the walleye water around here is at best 20' deep and usually shallower. Most local 'Eyes come in5-8' off a wind blown point or a hump. Casting to this kind of structure lends itself to a shorter lead. Different circumstances!
YUP, what slugo is saying, is to make your bait move.Be it in deep water or over here where it is shallow ? ( that's why we have better luck with our tackle) Were the water is shallow, a shorter leader is better, and we use a LITTLE JON with a shorter lead??? (3 to 4ft) harness of the old three hooker, ONE COLORADO BLADE, (behind three 1/8 0z beads) Its not as easy over here Chris!!! ( I like all your posts) Jim.

A man on a motorcycle led Monroe County Sheriff's Deputies on a wild chase Thursday night, reaching speeds of more than 90 miles per hour and swimming through a creek before getting the cuff slapped on him.
The sheriff's office says a deputy was patrolling southbound on Telegraph Road south of Otter Creek in LaSalle Township around 8:30 p.m. Thursday when the rider blew by him in the opposite direction at 94 mph. The deputy immediately turned around and attempted to stop the motorcycle. The rider then led deputies on a chase east on South Otter Creek Road and then north on South Dixie Highway. Deputies say the bike narrowly avoided an accident, slipping between two cars at the intersection of South Dixie Highway and South Otter Creek Road.
After turning north on South Dixie Highway, deputies say the rider pulled into a restaurant parking lot and fled on foot. The suspect then ran through a creek, under South Dixie Highway and into a field, where he was arrested.
The rider, a 39-year-old man from Monroe, was arrested and charged with fleeing & eluding, resisting and obstructing, driving with a suspended license, and having an improper registration.
The man's 2006 Harley Davidson motorcycle was impounded. Police have not released his name.
