Factors* affecting the property identified in previous reports
Corrective Measures
Current conservation issues
There is increasing evidence that the major wetlands system of the Everglades in Florida is under considerable threat with the adverse impacts of changes in water quality and quantity arising from a range of developments agricultural, industrial and urban - which are altering the natural systems.
It is indicative of concern about the site that the US Government has commenced litigation against alleged offenders, including the State of Florida.
Analysis and Conclusion
The Committee may wish to commend the States Party for its concern to maintain the integrity of the site.
Link to the decision
Everglades National Park (USA)
The representative of IUCN informed the Committee of a law suit that had been brought to bear against offenders to the integrity of this site. In addition, the representative of the U.S. informed the Committee of additional efforts to protect this site, notably the allocation by the U.S. Government of US$32 million to purchase over 43,000 ha of wetlands next to the Park which would help mitigate some of the problems related to the quality and quantity of freshwater entering the park. The Committee wished to commend the U.S. authorities for this initiative and for its commitment to maintain the park's integrity.

Inscription on the Danger List
Year: 2010Threats to the Site:
The property was re-inscribed on the List of World Heritage in Danger, on the request of the State Party, due to concerns that the property's aquatic ecosystem continues to deteriorate, in particular as a result of:
- Alterations of the hydrological regime (quantity, timing, and distribution of Shark Slough inflows);
- Adjacent urban and agricultural growth (flood protection and water supply requirements that affect the property's resources by lowering water levels);
- Increased nutrient pollution from upstream agricultural activities;
- Protection and management of FloridaBay resulting in significant reduction of both marine and estuarine biodiverstiy.
Year: 1993 -2007
Threats to the Site:
The site was inscribed on the List of the World Heritage in Danger in 1993 after the park's Superintendent informed the Committee of extensive damage to Everglades' ecology due to a number of causes including:
- nearby urban growth,
- pollution from fertilisers,
- mercury poisoning of fish and wildlife,
- a fall in water levels caused by flood protection measures.
In addition, on 24 August 1992, Hurricane Andrew altered much of Florida Bay and its ecological systems and destroyed the park's visitor centre.
* :
The threats indicated are listed in alphabetical order; their order does not constitute a classification according to the importance of their impact on the property.
Furthermore, they are presented irrespective of the type of threat faced by the property, i.e. with specific and proven imminent danger ("ascertained danger") or with threats which could have deleterious effects on the property's Outstanding Universal Value ("potential danger").

"Great Stay at Hotel Cimon"Reviewed by Randy K. of "Brooklyn, NY" on May 5, 2011
Quaint hotel run by a lovely couple. Hotel is well cared for and very clean. Only drawback is the wifi didn't work in my room, so be prepared to go down to the lobby for wireless internet. But otherwise, a great stay.
"Very warm welcome"Reviewed by K Clark of "London" on Aug 17, 2009
Anne and Jo, the owners of the guesthouse were very warm and friendly. They were very accommadating and we were impressed with the efficiency with which they organised everything. They were incredibly helpful in seeking out directions etc for us to the places we needed to go, which was also a real help. The breakfast was nice and more than enough and the location of the guesthouse was perfect for the waterfront etc. We would definitely go back again.

Detroit Lakes, Minnesota
Country Campground
[ 10/10 ]
A very nice clean family owned and run park. Large grass spots easy pull through and back in with wide road access. This is the second generation running the park. It is perfectly maintained with large concrete slab at each spot so you step out on concrete rather than grass. Hugh area to walk your dog. Free paddle boats on the lake. We would definitely return and recommend it to others.
Deadwood, South Dakota
Fish 'N Fry Campground
[ 9/10 ]
This was our second stay at Fish and Fry. We find the park to be clean and friendly. The owners and staff are very helpful. The spaces are large and easily accessible. If you don't care about satellite TV the sites under the trees are great.
Colorado Springs, Colorado
Mountaindale Cabins & RV Resort
[ 9/10 ]
This is very spacious park. The sites are large with plenty of room between them. A very large storm, locals say the biggest in 10 years, came through and flooded our site #75. It is the same storm that brought a tornado to Denver. After the storm cleared they were on the spot and brought in new gravel and we were back to a great site. They continually apologized for the storm! We will keep this park high on our return list.
La Veta, Colorado
Circle The Wagons RV Park & Motel
[ 10/10 ]
This is a friendly quiet family run park. The owners are the best, and having recently purchased the park are working daily to make it even nicer. Deer daily in the park and a great dog run. Although there are no pull thru sites the road is so wide with sweeping turns that I easily backed in our 38' fifth wheel. We will definitely visit again when we are in the area.
Wichita, Kansas
Air Capital RV Park

Very nice park. One year old concrete pads and drives all pull through. Could use some shade. If you are fussy about your rig it will get wet when the sprinklers come on.

We stayed 2 nights in March of 2012. We found the park to be quiet, clean, spacious with very friendly staff. The spaces are large enough to accommodate large rigs. The dog beach was great. The reservation system is excellent.

Shatner / ACFinLA - great insight, I hope this helps kick off some more objective observations from others
Could you have been more aggressive and sustained in what you did? ( I'm still playing with the notion that you didn't buck the threshold hard enough ).
Seems like those who relaunched on sub domains may have been given a temporary clean slate, making me suspect that Panda'd old domains are flagged in the algo ( who knows ).
AlyssaS - Forums / UGC - my uneducated intuition says they equal problems in the site configurations potentially producing dupe and thin content. Lot's of holes in forum/CMS software deployments, especially out of the box with developers who have insufficient SEO knowledge. Not saying this is the case - I'm just ringing a bell.
g1smd is working on a site he suspects might fall into this category - but results are still to come in

Weight Gain or Loss
Has anyone gained or lost weight yet? This is my third pregnancy and I have lost 2-4 pounds in a month. The nurse at WIC said it was ok because I have been having morning sickness. Didn't lose weight with either one of my boys. Just wondering how everyone else is doing?
Re: Weight Gain or Loss
Re: Weight Gain or Loss
With my first pregnancy I lost about 15 pounds at first and didn't gain any weight until I was 19 weeks pregnant. My baby was healthy and everything turned out great. I'm sure everything is okay awalk everyone's bodies react differently. If you're concerned about it to much I would just contact one of the nurses at your OB's office and see what they have to say. With this pregnancy I've gained four pounds now, I don't know how since I can't keep anything down and get sick all the time but oh well lol.
Re: Weight Gain or Loss
I've lost about 3-4 lbs this last month. I think it was because I was breastfeeding and dried up when I started meds for morning sickness, so now I don't pig out. This is also my third pregnancy and I'm more stressed this time. I was only 7 months pp when we found out I was pregnant again and my baby finally just started STTN this week.
And it's totally weird I have a baby and she won't be able to be the baby very long
Re: Weight Gain or Loss
Hi everyone....I have lost 18lbs before I knew I was going to have a baby. My doctor told me that I should gain 11lbs thought my whole pregnancy. I thought that that was a little low, but I guess due to my obese weight I can do it. I have been so nauseous and tired that I skip lunch or dinner most nights. I know that that isn't good, but I hate to throw up! I have found prenatal gummies help to ease my stomach along with the preggy pops. I am almost half way there to delivery and looking at the road ahead one meal at a time!

There are of Knowledge two kinds; whereof one is Knowledge of Fact: the other Knowledge of the Consequence of one Affirmation to another. The former is nothing else, but Sense and Memory, and is Absolute Knowledge; as when we see a Fact doing, or remember it done: And this is the Knowledge required in a Witnesse. The later is called Science; and is Conditionall; as when we know, that, If the figure showne be a Circle, then any straight line through the Center shall divide it into two equall parts. And this is the Knowledge required in a Philosopher; that is to say, of him that pretends to Reasoning.
The Register of Knowledge of Fact is called History. Whereof there be two sorts: one called Naturall History; which is the History of such Facts, or Effects of Nature, as have no Dependance on Mans Will; Such as are the Histories of Metalls, Plants, Animals, Regions, and the like. The other, is Civill History; which is the History of the Voluntary Actions of men in Common-wealths.
The Registers of Science, are such Books as contain the Demonstrations of Consequences of one Affirmation, to another; and are commonly called Books of Philosophy; whereof the sorts are many, according to the diversity of the Matter; And may be divided in such manner as I have divided them in the following Table.

A Wayne High School Spanish teacher accused of sex crimes against a minor spent Thanskgiving night in jail.
Kelsey Hartmann, 27, was being held Friday night in the Montgomery County Jail. She faces three felony counts of sexual battery involving a minor.
The charges filed made reference to Hartmann's role as a teacher, and indicated the minor involved may be a student at Wayne. Police declined to comment on further details in the case.
Hartmann, a married Centerville resident, was arrested Wednesday night in Huber Heights and was being held Friday on $75,000 bond. She is scheduled to appear in court Monday.
The charges carry a possible prison sentence of one to five years, and a $10,000 fine.
Hartmann is a Spanish teacher in her fourth year at Wayne High School, according to Huber Heights City Schools Superintendent Sue Gunnell.
Gunnell said the school district is cooperating with police and encouraged anyone with information about the investigation to do the same.
"We've been made aware of the investigation and the charges, and are putting (Hartmann) on paid administrative leave, effective immediately," Gunnell said Friday. "We also are directing her to have no contact at Wayne High School during the investigation. We are in the process of identifying a substitute for Monday."
Gunnell said she also would notify the Ohio Department of Education about the investigation, per protocol.
"We are making sure we are doing our due diligence," she said.
Hartmann would have had to pass several criminal background checks to teach at Wayne, per Ohio law. She reportedly had no prior criminal history.
Hartmann's family and Huber Heights police declined to comment Friday.

Simon and Martina Stawski, creators of the fun and enormously popular Eat Your Kimchi web site, two days ago told their audience they had a dream of registering themselves as a South Korean business, hiring staff and expanding the whole operation. To do it, they estimated they'd need $40,000.
Seven hours later, their fans had given it to them.
Korea Real Time provides sharp analysis and insight into what's making news on the Korean peninsula. We chronicle the growing pains of South Korea — a country that has skyrocketed into the club of the world's richest nations but now faces significant headwinds, and shine a spotlight on one of the world's biggest geopolitical flashpoints: North Korea.

injury time. "I thought we looked quite comfortable in that last part of the game," Sir Alex added. "I actually thought Rafael was fouled in the build-up. It was a clear foul and we didn't get it. But I didn't think we were going to get a decision from the linesman, that's for sure."
An earlier foul on Wayne Rooney inside the penalty area went undetected, of which Sir Alex opined: "It was a clear penalty and he was definitely brought down. He put his leg in and the linesman was right there facing it. I thought the linesman had a very poor game. I thought he was disappointing."
Those frustrations aside, Sir Alex remains content with a five-point cushion at the Barclays Premier League's summit with arguably the hardest away trips on the fixture list now all completed.
"We've been to all the top teams' grounds now, we've just got Arsenal left," added the manager. "I think we can be pleased with the outcome and the points total in all of them. It's another game out of the road and I wanted the game to be on today [after a pitch inspection] because we don't want a backlog of matches."

Leaders of a surprisingly strong Christian ska-punk movement, the O.C. Supertones were originally formed as a band named Saved by vocalist Matt Morginsky, drummer Jason Carson, and bassist Tony Terusa. The group failed to get signed so the core trio formed the O.C. Supertones with the gradual addition of members including Brian Johnson (guitar), Dan Spencer (trombone), Dave Chevalier (saxophone), and Darrin Mettler (trumpet). The septet released their debut album The Adventures of the O.C. Supertones in May 1996 on the Christian punk label Tooth & Nail, headed by scene leaders MXPX. After touring with them later in 1996, the O.C. Supertones released The Supertones Strike Back in mid-1997. ~ John Bush

Classification and external resources | |
MedlinePlus | 002365 |
MeSH | D005402 |
In medicine, a fistula (/ˈfɪstjʊlə/;[1][2] pl. fistulas /ˈfɪstjʊləz/, or fistulae (/ˈfɪstjʊli/ or /ˈfɪstjʊlaɪ/)) is an abnormal connection or passageway between two epithelium-lined organs or vessels.[3] It is generally a disease condition, but a fistula may be surgically created for therapeutic reasons.
In non-medical contexts, the word "fistula" is often used to imply urogenital fistula.

Various types of fistulas include:
Name | Definition |
Blind | with only one open end |
Complete | with both external and internal openings |
Incomplete | a fistula with an external skin opening, which does not connect to any internal organ |
Although most fistulas are in forms of a tube, some can also have multiple branches.
Various causes of fistula include:
Category | Elaboration |
Diseases | Inflammatory bowel disease in the form of Crohn's disease, but not ulcerative colitis, are the leading causes of anorectal, enteroenteral, and enterocutaneous fistulas. A person with severe stage-3 hidradenitis suppurativa will also develop fistulas. |
Medical treatment | Complications from gallbladder surgery can lead to biliary fistula. Radiation therapy can lead to vesicovaginal fistula. An arteriovenous fistula can be deliberately created, as described below in therapeutic use. |
Trauma | Head trauma can lead to perilymph fistulas, whereas trauma to other parts of the body can cause arteriovenous fistulas. Obstructed labor can lead to vesicovaginal and rectovaginal fistulas. An obstetric fistula develops when blood supply to the tissues of the vagina and the bladder (and/or rectum) is cut off during prolonged obstructed labor. The tissues die and a hole forms through which urine and/or feces pass uncontrollably. Vesicovaginal and rectovaginal fistulas may also be caused by rape, in particular gang rape, and rape with foreign objects, as evidenced by the abnormally high number of women in conflict areas who have suffered fistulae.[4][5] In 2003, thousands of women in eastern Congo presented themselves for treatment of traumatic fistula caused by systematic, violent gang rape that occurred during the country's five years of war. So many cases have been reported that the destruction of the vagina is considered a war injury and recorded by doctors as a crime of combat.[6] |
Treatment for fistula varies depending on the cause and extent of the fistula, but often involves surgical intervention combined with antibiotic therapy.
Typically the first step in treating a fistula is an examination by a doctor to determine the extent and "path" that the fistula takes through the tissue.
In some cases the fistula is temporarily covered, for example a fistula caused by cleft palate is often treated with a palatal obturator to delay the need for surgery to a more appropriate age.
Surgery is often required to assure adequate drainage of the fistula (so that pus may escape without forming an abscess). Various surgical procedures are commonly used, most commonly fistulotomy, placement of a seton (a cord that is passed through the path of the fistula to keep it open for draining), or an endorectal flap procedure (where healthy tissue is pulled over the internal side of the fistula to keep feces or other material from reinfecting the channel). Treatment involves filling the fistula with fibrin glue; also plugging it with plugs made of porcine small intestine submucosa have also been explored in recent years, with variable success. Surgery for anorectal fistulae is not without side effects, including recurrence, reinfection, and incontinence.
It is important to note that surgical treatment of a fistula without diagnosis or management of the underlying condition, if any, is not recommended. For example, surgical treatment of fistulae in Crohn's disease can be effective, but if the Crohn's disease itself is not treated, the rate of recurrence of fistula is very high (well above 50%).
Therapeutic use[edit]
In end stage renal failure patients, a cimino fistula is often deliberately created in the arm by means of a short day surgery in order to permit easier withdrawal of blood for hemodialysis.
As a radical treatment for portal hypertension, surgical creation of a portacaval fistula produces an anastomosis between the hepatic portal vein and the inferior vena cava across the omental foramen (of Winslow). This spares the portal venous system from high pressure which can cause esophageal varices, caput medusae, and hemorrhoids.

Congratulations Kathleen Bratt and Maria Lumbrazo
2012 President's Employee Recognition Award Winners
Kathleen Bratt
Employee of the Year - Clinical Division
Kathleen Bratt, NP (Joslin Diabetes Center)
Kathy Bratt is a nurse practitioner who has educated and counseled hundreds of young diabetes patients and their families for 15 years.
Her biggest tributes come from those she has cared for. One mother wrote: 'Kathy gave me the most important piece of advice ever. She said, 'If you teach your son that he is fragile, he will be afraid to live his life. He needs to do things for himself whenever he possibly can.'"
In this spirited and supportive way she guides her patients – even teaching special classes to prepare teens for managing diabetes in college.
"Kathy has an ideal personality to care for families and children with chronic disease," said one of her nominators. "She is everyone's 'grandma,' 'sister' or 'mom'."
In addition to being available for 25 to 30 patients a week, Kathy is an EMT, a member of the Cato Meridian School Board, and active in her church.
This is not her only recent honor. In March, Kathy was awarded the lifetime achievement "Living and Giving" award from the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation."
Maria Lumbrazo
Leader of the Year - Clinical Division
Maria Lumbrazo (Stroke Coordinator)
Maria Lumbrazo is the Coordinator of Upstate University Hospital's award-winning Stroke Program.
Under Maria's leadership, the Stroke Program has done more than meet the Gold Standard set by the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association. It has met the Gold Plus Standard — the highest level possible.
In her two years as coordinator, Maria also has maintained Upstate's certification as a New York State Primary Stroke Center.
That success is based in large part on Maria's compassion and dedication for our stroke patients — and their loved ones.
She established weekly sessions for family members to meet with clinical staff, and created a Facebook page for families to share questions and concerns.
Maria established awards for her staff, built a solid relationship with EMS providers, and is constantly speaking to community groups about stroke awareness and care.
Her enthusiasm, creativity and follow-through are at the forefront of Upstate's quest for excellence in stroke care.
Anne Clancy, PA was among those instrumental in helping Upstate University Hospital obtain its recent Gold Plus designation for treatment of heart failure.

Comments about KidKraft Avalon Table and 4 Chair Set - Honey:
Just received this and plan to use for family gatherings, give my youngest grandchildren their own dinner table. Chose this set because of the higher height of chairs (14" floor to seat). Assembly takes a bit of time..table done, one chair.. but easy instructions, easy to do (just a lot of twisting the many bolts and nuts with the included tools). Very impressed how well packaged and the pieces clearly marked and everything fits together flawlessly!

Beautiful table and chairs!
Comments about KidKraft Avalon Table and 4 Chair Set - Honey:
This same table was for sale at a boutique children's store close to my home for almost double the price. One of the legs of the table was cracked when it arrived which I did not realize until after I had put it together. Hayneedle said they would send me a packing slip and I could send the entire table back to them but I did not want to take apart the table, send it back and then wait for a new one to arrive. Luckily the manufacturer of the table is sending me a new leg.

Comments about KidKraft Avalon Table and 4 Chair Set - Honey:
Sturdy enough to hold the weight of an adult (and somewhat taller than the average table and chair set) which makes child/adult "tea parties" much more doable and comfortable. Looking forward to many years of good use.

Comments about KidKraft Avalon Table and 4 Chair Set - Honey:
I bought this item as a gift for my 2 yr old grandaughter.[...] the quality of the product and it was very easy to assemble. The only thing I was disappointed with was the screws that held the bracket to the table for the drawer to slide on were stripped and we had to get new, a little bit larger screws, to replace them. This was a part of the table that was pre-assembled before we got it, but it was an easy fix and my grandaughter loves it.

[JURIST] UK Attorney General Lord Goldsmith [official profile] called on the US Saturday to close down Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive] at an International Bar Association event [event information] in Chicago. While acknowledging that the September 11 attacks [JURIST news archive] required a response to terrorism, he stressed that key principles of democracy and the rule of law had to be upheld in the process:
I am not embarrassed to repeat here my views on Guantanamo Bay which are well known; that it is unacceptable and that it is time that it should be closed; that it has become a symbol of injustice, a recruiting agent for terrorists. It is a symbol which the long American tradition of justice and liberty deserves to see removed at the earliest moment.

It took a little longer than I anticipated to get around to it. The video of Dr. Eric Jang is up on the West Hawaii Tech Pau Hana YouTube channel:
Thanks, Ron!
The YouTube channel is the West Hawaii Tech Pau Hana, link is http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbI1Auch3E_FG6C3pnQ-aig.
I haven't uploaded last night's video yet. Hopefully I'll get a chance tonight.
Is there a link to the YouTube videos or channel for Tech Monday?
Great Rod!
Will look forward to it.
Getting quality video/audio is always a challenge, as much as the tech has improved it's still a challenging.
No, we aren't that sophisticated. I've videoed the last few sessions and posted them to YouTube, but as far as live streaming goes we are not there yet.
If anyone wants to volunteer to assist with the video side of things, I could use the help.
Hey is there a streaming of Tech Monday in West Hawaii tomorrow? I'd love to tune in.
Also, I added TechCon Kona 2.0 on Nov. 2 to the calendar for my friend Julie Ziemelis. Check it out.
Please note: the Tech Monday in West Hawaii date has been changed. We hope to see you on Nov. 4th (see the calendar listing).
How can we live off the resources available to us in outer space? How can lessons learned here on Earth and in Hawaii help us prepare for space exploration?
Rob Kelso of PISCES speaking on projects to answer these questions at the pau hana at NELHA on Monday the 30th at 5, see the event calendar.

The Buy Local campaign is a true community collaborative, not just a Chamber program. The Douglas County Sentinel was a tremendous partner in last year's Buy Local initiative and will once again be involved in every step of the program. Additionally, Citi TV and DCTV23 stations have committed to making sure residents understand how important their tax dollars are to this community.
"Many residents in our community don't realize that it is their neighbors who are the small business owners here. They chose to open their business here because they love this community and want to contribute to its success as they succeed," said Greg Williams, Chair of the Chamber's Small Business Committee. "If we shop outside of our own town, what message does that send?"
As a local resident, consider where you spend your dollars each day, whether they are for gas, groceries or goods and services. When you buy local, you simultaneously create jobs, fund more community services through sales tax, and invest in neighborhood
improvement and promote community development.
Top 10 Reasons to BUY Local
The Chamber is proud to recognize the important role that small businesses play in Douglas County and its economy. They recognize the work of our Small Business Committee who created the Small Businesses of Excellence designation from what was previously our Small Business of the Quarter Awards.
In the first year of offering the Small Businesses of Excellence, the Chamber received 80 nominations for Chamber member businesses. After being nominated by the community and their peers, each company completed a thorough application covering company information, growth, community involvement and adversity among other criteria. An independent panel of judges composed of Small Business Development Center, professionals, business and community leaders reviewed the applications, met to discuss their findings and make their selections.

APPLY TODAY! Download the 2013 Teacher 4 A Day Application!
Principal 4 A Day and Teacher 4 A Day are programs adopted by Chamber President & CEO, Kali Boatright and DC School Superintendent, Dr. Gordon Pritz. Principal 4 A Day allows members of the business community to visit one of the 35 schools in Douglas County and shadow the principal for either a half day or a full day. Each school principal will be paired with a local member of the business community who will experience a typical day in the principal's shoes. Teacher 4 A Day is a similar concept but is open to the entire community – anyone can participate and walk in the shoes of a DCSS teacher for a half day.
Guest principals and teachers are exposed to the many exciting programs offered in the schools as well as gaining first-hand insight into the challenges that schools face on a daily basis.
"We feel it is highly important for our business leaders to see what goes on in our schools," commented Boatright, "many of our members, like myself, have children in the school system, and this is a great way to see what happens after the first bell, but from the other side of the desk. The Chamber is proud to present these programs and is looking forward to sending our businesses and community back to school!"
For more information on these programs or to apply, contact Sara Ray at 770.942.5022.
Each Friday, the DC Chamber staff proudly sport t-shirts of Chamber Member businesses for Chamber Shirt Friday! Members donate shirts to the Chamber Staff who wear them wherever the day takes them – ribbon cuttings, luncheons, meetings…everywhere! This is a free program for members and a great way to market your business. The pictures are posted on the Chamber Facebook Page and in the Chamber Weekly email with a link to the business website.

Alpina Startimer Pilot Watches
Filed under: Timepieces / Watches
At 44mm wide, the Startimer Pilots come in steel cases that are 100 meters water resistant and have sapphire crystals. I like the thin bezel that maximizes dial space. The little touch of red on the counterweight of the chronograph seconds hand is welcome. Using a bi-compax layout, the dials are classic looking but functional - while the chronograph doesn't significantly obscure reading of the dial. The sizable Arabic hour numerals feels functional and sound. Inside the watch are Swiss automatic movements, while the version with just the time and date has an in-house made Alpina/Frederique Constant movement. According to Alpina these Startimer Pilot watches are being made in partnership with plane makers Cessna and PrivatAir. Look for them at reasonable prices sometime this year. Each is said to be limited to 8,888 pieces.

First Truth
Before she wrote as New York Times bestselling author Kim Harrison, Dawn Cook write the Truth...
Essay from Dawn Cook on First Truth
This is the first novel of Dawn Cook's extraordinary coming-of-age fantasy featuring Alissa, a young novice in the art of magic, who embarks on an epic journey of discovery and danger. The First Truth was the first thing I wrote. Seriously, the very first thing I wrote . . . and rewrote, and rewrote until I realized I'd spent five years on the same 120,000 words. It slowly evolved into a four-book series that originally found publication in 2001 and is now in the fortunate position to be given a chance at a new life, but what I'm most known for is my work as Kim Harrison. I began writing in the urban fantasy genre even before the genre had a proper name, chasing the heels of Hamilton, Harris, and Butcher with my own version of magic in the modern setting. It had been done before, but not with such popularity, and when I began writing as Kim Harrison, I had no inkling that this new genre would pull me away from my earlier work in the fantasy field. Who knew that urban fantasy was set to explode? Now that the Kim Harrison books have their own identity, I've been allowed the chance that is not afforded many in the writing field: the chance to breathe new life into an early story that I love. I read through First Truth about a year ago when the chance to see the Truth books repackaged first came up. I was afraid that the writing might be childish, the newbie shine too great, that the people who enjoy the Kim Harrison stories would look at it and scratch their heads, and perhaps I should just let my early works die. After all, the two genres of fantasy and urban fantasy are vastly different. The pacing is much slower in the Truth books, the tone and voice more lyrical. It's a different genre, and it shows. I worried that the people who love the Hollows might pick up First Truth expecting Rachel with a sword and dragon instead of a spell pot and convertible, and be disappointed when they found out Alissa was her own person in her own right with her own storytelling style. But as I read, I fell in love with Alissa's tale all over again with its dragons, pet kestrels, a wandering minstrel who loves her despite a chasm of prejudice between their peoples. And then I remembered the mirth trees and the soul lovingly waiting for her there through the centuries, and Useless's secret, waiting to be resolved. I remembered Alissa's anguish when she realized she loved Strell, and the power she held because she was neither plains nor hills. I saw again in my mind the echoing caverns under the Hold and felt the thrill of Alissa's discovery of who she was and the terrible price her birthright came with. Oh yeah. I wanted these stories to live again. My storytelling was not as smooth as it is now, the delivery not as polished, but that, too, is part of the story's charm. The raw enthusiasm I have for my work shows no place clearer than here . . . when the discovery of my love for writing spills forth in a splurge of creativity before it was corralled with experience and technique. I can't wait to see how people react to Alissa, Strell, and Useless. I think they're pretty cool. I have a story to tell. That's what's it's all about. The rest is just semantics. |

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Orrin HatchJuly 8, 2003
Statement of Chairman Orrin G. Hatch MICHAEL J. GARCIA TO BE ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF HOMELAND SECURITY It is with great pleasure that I welcome two outstanding nominees to the Committee this afternoon. Michael J. Garcia is the President's nominee for Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security for the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or B-I-C-E. Since March 1st of this year, the B-I-C-E has taken over the interior enforcement responsibilities previously handled by the former Immigration and Naturalization Service. One of the most important areas over which this Committee has oversight is the protection of our national security through enforcement of our immigration laws. Since September 11, 2001, we as a nation came to the realization that we were indeed vulnerable to the evil designs of terrorists; terrorists who wish to harm us and take away our freedom and security. We have also learned that many terrorists who took thousands of innocent American lives actually penetrated our borders by abusing and violating our immigration laws. Now more than ever, we need to take immigration enforcement seriously. For the past several months, Mr. Garcia has assumed the primary responsibility of protecting our national security through the strict and effective enforcement of our immigration laws. In December 2002, Mr. Garcia became the Acting Commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service. On March 1, 2003, when the immigration enforcement functions of the INS transferred to the B-I-C-E, Mr. Garcia continued to function in the same critical role as Acting Assistant Homeland Security Secretary for the newly created bureau. Mr. Garcia brings with him an impressive background in law enforcement. For most of his legal career, he was an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York, where he successfully prosecuted the terrorists who were responsible for the first World Trade Center bombing and the bombing of the U.S. embassies abroad. In August 2001, he was confirmed by the senate as Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Export Enforcement. In that capacity, he led a law enforcement agency whose primary responsibilities included preventing the transfer of sensitive technology to terrorists or to countries that supported terrorism. Mr. Garcia became our country's top immigration enforcement administrator at a most critical time in the history of immigration enforcement. Effective immigration enforcement has always been a difficult but crucial task. In addition, he has had to manage the transition of a significant portion of the INS, a 50-year-old and 36,000 employee agency, to the B-I-C-E, a newly created agency within a newly created department. Considering the enormity of the task especially considering all the challenges that INS faced historically, the transition is going as well as one can reasonably expect. I commend Mr. Garcia for his leadership in this process. Mr. Garcia is also taking over immigration enforcement at a time when the war against terror is fought on the technological front. As the mandated by the USA PATRIOT Act and the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Reform Act, there will be greater data sharing among the various law enforcement agencies, as well as a more accurate tracking of non-immigrant visitors who are in our country. Consistent with congressional mandate, the Department of Homeland Security will begin implementing a new system called US-VISIT, which is an integration of the existing computerized databases. I and many others in this Committee believe that it is of paramount importance that immigration enforcement be fully transitioned from a paper driven system to an automated, state-of-the-art system. I implore Mr. Garcia to make this transition one of his top priorities at the B-I-C-E. I am confident in Mr. Garcia's leadership ability and trust that he will make this transition a smooth and efficient one. Mr. Goldsmith then entered private practice with the distinguished firm of Covington & Burling. In 1994, he turned to teaching, first as an Associate Professor at the University of Virginia School of Law, and in 1997 as a Professor at the University of Chicago Law School. Mr. Goldsmith has an outstanding record in the academic world. His activities as a law professor have been focused on teaching, scholarship and counseling students. As a teacher, Professor Goldsmith has a broad spectrum of experience. Among the courses he has taught are Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law, Commercial Arbitration, Conflict of Laws, Foreign Affairs & the Constitution, Public International Law, and International Litigation. Professor Goldsmith's scholarship is also quite impressive. He is a prolific writer, having co-authored two textbooks and numerous articles. The range of his scholarship is extraordinary. He has written on a variety of topics, including foreign relations, international law, human rights, and numerous Internet issues. He is well respected by his colleagues in the academic world. For example, Harvard professor Ryan Goodman describes his scholarship as "methodically rigorous, sharply reasoned, and sensitive to constitutional history and doctrine. It is no wonder that he is a leading, if not the preeminent, scholar in foreign affairs law." In addition, beyond the respect he commands for his scholarship, those who work with and know Jack Goldsmith speak highly of his character and professionalism. I would note that many of his letters of support contain a statement to the effect that although the author may disagree with Mr. Goldsmith's views on particular topics, the author is nevertheless impressed with his integrity, graciousness, demeanor, ethics, devotion and qualifications. For example, in her letter, Anne-Marie Slaughter, Dean of Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, wrote, "But even when I disagree, I admire the personal and professional integrity that characterizes all of his work. I am confident that Jack will make an outstanding Assistant Attorney General." Stanford professor Lawrence Lessig wrote a strong recommendation, noting that Mr. Goldsmith is a lawyer "who is serious and devoted to the law itself, and not to the law as a means to some political end." Mr. Goldsmith is clearly a nominee who has the experience, capability and personal characteristics to lead the Office of Legal Counsel. Most recently, he has served as Special Counsel to the General Counsel of the Department of Defense, where he provided advice and guidance on various constitutional and international law issues. This experience has undoubtedly prepared him well to provide similar counsel to the Attorney General. I congratulate both Mr. Goldsmith and Mr. Garcia on their nominations. I look forward to hearing from them. |

The Texas Rangers will meet with free agent Mike Napoli this week in the Metroplex as they attempt to re-sign one of their primary catchers from the past two seasons.
A source confirmed that Napoli and his agent, Brian Grieper, will meet with Rangers officials. Napoli visited Boston over the weekend, and is also drawing interest from Seattle.The Rangers and Napoli have had a steady dialogue since free agency opened in late October, the source said.Catching is a priority for the Rangers this off-season. They have Geovany Soto on the roster, but he is a candidate to not be tendered a contract later this week.The Rangers' best catching prospects are at the lower levels of the minor leagues, so free agency is their best route to fortify the position for at least the next two seasons.Napoli is seeking a four-year contract. The Rangers chose not to make him a one-year qualifying offer at $13.3 million earlier this month because, general manager Jon Daniels said, they didn't like that price tag.An All-Star starter in July, Napoli turned down a three-year, $38 million extension from the Rangers last off-season. He was coming off a career year in which he hit .320 with 30 homers, but he struggled to a .227 average with six fewer homers in 2012.One aspect that might make the Rangers more attractive to Napoli is that they would use him at catcher more than Boston or Seattle.The Red Sox have Jarrod Saltalamacchia, the former Rangers catching prospect, behind the plate and have a need at first base. Napoli, though, is a career .306 hitter at Fenway Park.The Mariners have Jesus Montero at catcher, and used their first-round pick in June on an advanced college catcher, Mike Zunino. First baseman Justin Smoak, a former Rangers first-round pick, isn't a lock going forward after two subpar seasons.Jeff Wilson, 817-390-7760Twitter: @JeffWilson_FWSTHave more to add? News tip?
