The Changing Role of the Supervising Scientist in the Uranium Industry of the Kakadu Region |
Peter Waggitt & Stewart Needham |
Uranium mining is a subject that commonly elicits emotive and polarised comments from almost all sectors of the community. Australian society is no different. In the 1970s a heated national debate was in progress over the possible re-development of a uranium mining industry. Earlier uranium mining operations had by that time completely died out, and the legacy of those earlier operations, such as Rum Jungle with its poor environmental record, added fuel to the intense debate. In this atmosphere the government of the day called for a comprehensive inquiry into the whole issue of the nation's possible involvement in uranium resource development.
The Ranger Uranium Environmental Inquiry, chaired by Mr Justice Fox, began in 1975. In its first report the inquiry determined that, subject to proper safeguards being in place, there was no reason why Australia should not develop uranium resources for export (Ref 1). The inquiry also examined the specific issues of mining in the Alligator Rivers region in the Northern Territory of Australia. At the same time much of this same area was being considered for designation as a national park to be called Kakadu and nominated for World Heritage listing. As all the land involved was aboriginal land, the mix was indeed a heady one with tremendous potential for highly emotive debate. The inquiry determined that it would be possible to have both uranium mining and the national park, but that several safeguards would have to be put in place to provide assurance to the community that the environment was being adequately protected. A comprehensive list of recommendations was provided to support the findings. All these recommendations were expressed in the inquiry's second report (Ref 2).
The Supervising Scientist
As part of the safeguards, the inquiry recommended that the federal government create the post of Supervising Scientist, with the role of overseeing the uranium mining industry's environmental management performance in the region. The post, together with a supporting office and a small research institute, were created by Act of Parliament in 1978. The research institute was to be dedicated to research related to environmental protection in relation to uranium mining in the region. It was located near the new town of Jabiru, adjacent to the Ranger mine in the centre of the Kakadu region. Other offices of the Supervising Scientist were established in Darwin, and a corporate headquarters in Sydney.
The organisation's main function was to supervise and assess environmental performance at the mines and the adequacy of the regulatory regime in delivering on the government's expectations for protection of the national park. These expectations were articulated as a series of environmental requirements attached to several instruments within both federal and Northern Territory legislation.
This work required liaison with the Northern Territory Department of Mines and Energy (the organisation given the day-to-day responsibility for regulation of the uranium mining process), the Northern Land Council (representing the interests of the traditional aboriginal owners of the land), and other stakeholders in the Northern Territory. Darwin-based staff also carried out frequent routine inspections of uranium mine sites and uranium exploration operations, and assessed in considerable detail all the environmental monitoring reports from the mining companies.
Thus the Supervising Scientist was seen as a surrogate regulator, and industry and government stakeholders saw this as an unnecessary duplication of the regulatory responsibilities of the Northern Territory government. Other stakeholders, however, perceived the Supervising Scientist as having insufficient power or influence to ensure that the environmental objectives of the federal government and the general community could be met.
As part of the co-ordination and liaison process, the Act of Parliament which created the Supervising Scientist also set up a body called the Co-ordinating Committee for the Alligator Rivers Region (CCARR). This was a group chaired by the Supervising Scientist and comprised members representing stakeholders in the uranium mining process in the region. As well as its co-ordinating function, the committee also had the roles of setting priorities for research and providing a forum for information exchange.
The committee was not a great success. The major concern was that the Act required the workings of the CCARR to be secret, with members required to sign undertakings that they would not divulge the business of the meetings to the outside community. The groups represented on the CCARR included the mining companies, government agencies and a trade union representative, as well as the Northern Land Council. Eventually, in the late 1980s, a single representative of the environment movement was invited by the federal minister to join the group.
The unbalanced composition of the group and tightly restricted flow of information did little to meet the expectations of many stakeholders, in particular those local aboriginal and environmental organisations which had become established during the period since mining began. The business of the committee was commonly conducted in an adversarial atmosphere with resistance to release technical information or fully discuss technical and environmental issues of fact or perception.
The Early Days
By 1980 the Ranger mine was under construction, and at Nabarlek the orebody had been extracted and stockpiled and milling was about to begin. A change of federal government and the introduction of a more restrictive approach to uranium mining then prevented the development of the two other deposits previously identified in the region, Jabiluka and Koongarra.
As time progressed through the early and mid 1980s the meetings of the CCARR were less frequent and tended to become more acrimonious. The change was brought about by a growing frustration within the group that it was no longer serving a purpose useful to the members. Discussion of details of the minutes took up more and more time at meetings as political issues became all-pervading. There were a few minor leaks of information and misinterpretation of it in the media, which made the mining companies very reluctant to table any significant data.
The export levy on uranium originating from Ranger and Nabarlek was increased several times by the government as the uranium price increased, but there was no corresponding decrease in the levy rate when the uranium price later dropped. As the levy was seen to be a mechanism for government to recoup from industry the operating costs of the Supervising Scientist, the level of antagonism from industry increased, co-operation decreased, and fewer real outcomes were achieved from the CCARR.
The lack of trust between the parties placed the effectiveness of the Supervising Scientist and the credibility of the CCARR process at considerable risk. The claims of duplicated activities became more commonplace as there was less frequent exchange of information about who was doing what, when and where. Finally, the federal government determined that an overhaul of the system was required in order to meet its own expectations for efficient and effective working relationships with the territory government regulators, and the needs of the wider range of stakeholders.
The New Arrangements
Following a review of the Supervising Scientist's organisation, mechanisms, budget, and concerns of major stakeholders, the government amended the Act of Parliament and made several other related decisions. These brought about major changes in the methods of operation used by the Supervising Scientist, and the level and style of interaction with stakeholders. These were put in place in 1993, and included closing down of the CCARR and replacing it with two committees having a more balanced representation of key stakeholders and groups with special interest in the uranium mining activities of the region. An important change in approach was that the committees were to be chaired by an independent and impartial person of high scientific standing.
The Alligator Rivers Region Advisory Committee (ARRAC) was established to provide a forum for exchange of information and discussion of issues amongst the wider stakeholder group, including discussion of the results of monitoring and environmental performance evaluations. Membership includes the Supervising Scientist, the Director of the National Parks and Wildlife Service (i.e. managers of Kakadu National Park), and representatives of the Northern Land Council, local aboriginal groups with direct interests in the land where the mines are located and where impacts might occur, the uranium mining companies, the Northern Territory regulators, NT and federal departments of health and environment, the trade union for the miners, environmentalists from both local and national organisations, and the local town council (representing the resident population).
The Alligator Rivers Region Technical Committee (ARRTC) was created to co-ordinate and liaise on environmental research within the region. This committee has a more restricted membership, confined to organisations with research capacity relevant to the region, and the key stakeholders. It has the responsibility to determine priorities for research and recommend how that research is best conducted and co-ordinated.
At the same time, the federal government entered into a new memorandum of understanding with the Northern Territory government. This set out the day-to-day working arrangements between the two governments and more clearly defined the limits of responsibility and operations of the Supervising Scientist and the NT Department of Mines and Energy. This included the cessation of routine inspections of the mining operations by the Supervising Scientist, with visits to the mine sites limited to invitations from the companies and investigation of infringements of the Northern Territory regulations or federal environmental requirements.
New mechanisms were put into place to enable the Supervising Scientist to assess the environmental performance of the mines. These comprised twice-yearly Environmental Performance Reviews (EPRs), with the purpose of focusing on environmental outcomes (i.e. leaving the day-to-day compliance issues with the NT regulating authority) and reporting as soon as practicable thereafter to the ARRAC. Any significant technical issues identified by the EPRs are referred to a committee of experts for each mine site for consideration and the development of recommendations for remedial actions by the relevant authority or organisation.
The New Process
The new process involves the integration of two main steps: environmental performance audits (i.e. EPRs), and stakeholder consultation (i.e. the ARRAC). These are operated together on a six-month cycle, reflecting the dynamics of the mining activity, the level of interest in it, and the extreme pressures that the wet-dry tropical climate can impose upon environmental management at the mine (in particular, water management and disposal of excess water). The key features are set out in the next section. The major principles behind the process are:
The Audit Element
Environmental audits of the mine sites are undertaken every six months. The EPRs were designed to reflect the federal government's focus on measuring outcomes rather than process or day-to-day regulation. The process is run by the Supervising Scientist Group (SSG) jointly with the NT regulating authority, and over time the NT government has taken the opportunity to make increased use of the process to satisfy some of its needs in the application of regulations. This trend is consistent with a general trend in Australia towards less intrusive and more goal-driven approaches to regulation.
The EPR functions to identify any areas where performance does not meet the reasonable expectations of the broad stakeholder group; these areas are examined to determine possible methods of achieving improvement. Where they cannot be resolved by the EPR process they are commonly referred to technical working groups to evaluate options in terms of effectiveness, cost and acceptability. Non-compliance issues may be exposed and are reported upon, but disciplinary action is pursued through the normal regulatory framework, which provides a "safety net" of minimum acceptable performance to the EPR process.
A five-year forward plan for audit focal issues has been developed and is available for adjustment by the broad stakeholder group through the ARRAC forum. The plan recognises the appropriate frequency for issues to be revisited. This is based upon technical assessments of risk and consequences, and public perceptions of risk and consequences as voiced by the broad stakeholder group.
The five-year plan is flexible, and accommodates topical issues arising from, for example, unusual rainfall patterns (which may stress the water management system of the mine), infringements, or public interest issues which may arise from time to time. Hence, a normal environmental audit addresses: matters arising from the previous review; compliance questions put by the regulating authority; issues concerning the mining operation's forward plan; and topical issues of technical or public concern which have arisen in the period under review.
The audit protocol takes the form of a questionnaire, which is provided to the company at least two weeks before the scheduled audit week. It includes prompts designed to assist the audit team in their work, but which also assist the company to identify particular matters of interest, documentary evidence required, etc. The company may then prepare for the review by carefully checking relevant data and operational systems (hardware and processes), and ensuring that documentary evidence is accessible. A preliminary session to examine and agree documentation is encouraged as this saves time on the day of the EPR.
After two years of undergoing this audit process, Energy Resources of Australia (the operator of the Ranger uranium mine) began to prepare fully documented responses to the questionnaire, which have considerably assisted in the thoroughness, detail and efficiency of the process.
Following the audit interview, a site inspection is made to examine areas of particular interest, including those where poor performance has been indicated. This is commonly the first step in discussions to identify possible reasons for poor performance, and development of options for improvement. Where improvement is indicated, the matter is referred to the technical working groups or to expert consultants to develop solutions. The matter is placed on the agenda for examination at the next review in six months time, when progress will be evaluated.
The questionnaire framework is used to develop an audit outcome report, and each item in the questionnaire is assessed as acceptable, unacceptable, or requiring further work. A scoring system (for example, a mark out of ten) is avoided, because this always implies that for any score of less than ten there is a significant degree of under-performance and hence impact on or risk to the environment. This approach is not helpful; for example, it overlooks areas where insufficient data may be available to fully understand an issue. This may be in spite of the fact that more environmental data may be available than in any other known situation, and the company may already be committed to an ongoing programme of investigation.
A summary report of the review is prepared immediately following the audit process, and is signed by the principals of organisations participating in the review team. The outcomes are therefore agreed, and misunderstandings or differences of opinion are worked through before the results of the review process are presented to the stakeholder consultative group as an agreed position.
The Consultation Element
The stakeholder group meets in the same week as the environmental performance review, and is presented with copies of the audit assessment and the summary report - often only completed late the previous day. This information is made available at least two hours before the meeting commences so members may, if they wish, examine it before the meeting and prepare specific questions. This procedure also ensures that discussion focuses on up-to-date information.
Other information provided includes reports by the NT government regulator and the Supervising Scientist for the period under review; annual environmental reports by the mining companies; and additional reports the companies or other stakeholders may wish to make available. These may include monthly or quarterly reports of monitoring data, one-off technical reports, and planning documents. The company staff commonly also give brief presentations on recent or planned developments at the mine sites. There is no restriction placed on the distribution of any material presented to the meetings. All these data are distributed as early as possible before the meeting, often up to two weeks in advance.
The stakeholder group is extremely diverse and is made up of representatives of aboriginal groups, a local environmental group, a representative of the workforce at the mine, local government, and federal and Northern Territory departments and agencies of resources, health and environment. The federal Minister for the Environment approves the stakeholder groups, and the groups are free to select their representatives. Additional members have been added to the consultative group to ensure that the consultative process is truly inclusive of all significant stakeholder bodies.
The committee is independently chaired. Debate is managed so as to focus on environmental protection from uranium mining. Whilst some representatives have strong positions on whether or not uranium mining should be permitted in Australia, discussion on uranium mining policy is discouraged. "Meeting notes" are taken rather than formal minutes, in order to avoid acrimonious discussion on detail, which was common in the CCARR meetings which took place before 1993.
The EPR/stakeholder forum process has been applied successfully at all stages of mine life. Whilst the Ranger mine is an example of an active mine, the process is still being applied to the Nabarlek mine which has been decommissioned and rehabilitated, and is undergoing monitoring prior to closeout. The EPR process allows the re-vegetation and surface stability of the site to be regularly assessed, and for the stakeholder forum to be advised of the success of these works to date. It is anticipated that the process will continue to be applied at least until the site is declared to be satisfactorily rehabilitated, some long term issues such as post-closeout monitoring are resolved, and the site handed back to the traditional owners.
The EPR process is already being applied to the proposed new mine at Jabiluka, with the active support of the mining company. The first review took place in July 1998 following commencement of site clearance works in June 1998. The process has also been applied in other sectors. A slightly modified version of the EPR/stakeholder forum process has also been introduced successfully in the Australian Indian Ocean Territories of Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. There it has been applied to the assessment of environmental management of phosphate mining and a range of industrial activities including airports, power stations, oil storage facilities and a hotel-resort complex (Ref 3).
The Environmental Performance Review (EPR) approach to evaluating the adequacy of performance, in place of a system of frequent compliance inspections, has engendered more harmonious working relationships between the federal government (through the Supervising Scientist), the Northern Territory regulator (Department of Mines and Energy), and the mine operators. This has grown from acceptance of, and trust in, the objectives of co-operation and collaboration in identifying and rectifying problems. An appreciation by the mine operators that this reduces the risk of the application of regulatory sanctions has also fostered more commitment from them in the identification and application of best practicable technology, and commitment to continual improvement.
In addition, there is the perception that the level of community concern and the number of protest actions in respect of the active operations have reduced since the new system was put in place, particularly since there has been more public access to information. The more open exchange of viewpoints and discussion of information and its interpretation through the ARRAC stakeholder forum has developed more of a sense of shared commitment to problem-solving, rather than apportioning blame. The success of the procedure relies heavily on trust between the parties. In particular, it depends on trust on the part of the audit team that all relevant data are presented, and are presented objectively, and that the company is consistent and committed to pursuing improvement in areas identified as unacceptable or requiring further work.
The scope of the audit goes well beyond regulatory considerations, and so regulatory sanctions generally cannot be called upon in the case of this trust-based relationship breaking down; for example, evidence that a company may only be paying lip service to continual improvement. However, the sensitivity of the mining companies to negative perceptions in the community and government over uranium mining, national parks and aboriginal issues, and the effectiveness of the stakeholder group as a conduit to expose controversial issues to the public domain, has to date guaranteed positive mining company participation in the performance review process.
A major benefit of the independent chairing of the consultative forum is the effective avoidance of a political agenda. This has ensured a close focus on environmental performance as the main business of the group and improved the maturity and quality of discussion. Access to up-to-date comprehensive environmental data and interpretation, and the opportunity to discuss these in detail with the key information sources, has increased the responsible use and acceptance of this information, and reduced the prior tendency for its selective and sensationalist misuse.
Over the past nearly 20 years the role of the Supervising Scientist has changed little in respect of the objectives of the organisation, but quite markedly in the manner in which those desired objectives are achieved. A completely new and proactive approach to the oversight of environmental management at the uranium mines of the Kakadu region has been well received and is working effectively. The process has been applied to an operating mine (Ranger), is serving its purpose well at a rehabilitated mine (Nabarlek), and is being applied at a new mine (Jabiluka) from the very earliest stages of development.
The combined approach of Environmental Performance Review and stakeholder consultation processes is a successful case study of an arrangement designed to deliver accountability in situations of particular environmental sensitivity to the community. The yardstick for measurement, and the main sanction for continued poor performance, is community reaction. Regulatory mechanisms act as a "safety net" beneath these processes to avoid the risk of significant environmental damage.
Success depends to a large degree on mutual trust, developed from a clear definition of the environmental objectives and commitment by all parties to continual improvement. It may take several iterations of the audit/consultation cycle to generate a trusting relationship. The ultimate goal is to develop a shared, open, team approach, able to accept and absorb differences in position and principles, and robust enough to maintain focus through difficulties beyond the scope of this (and usually any other) environmental management system (for example, accidents). We believe that we are well on the way to achieving this objective in the uranium mining industry in Australia's Northern Territory.

Kate Middleton has access to all the fashion accessories in the world but her style mainstay is undoubtedly her vast clutch collection. And much like anything Middleton wears, she's pushing tiny purses into the spotlight. According to a story in The Guardian, handbag designer Lulu Guinness credits the Duchess with sparking a new handbag trend. "If she's done anything for the handbag, it's the fact that she wears small clutch bags," Guinness recently said at the Condé Nast College of Fashion & Design opening party in New York. "Personally, I am making my clutch bags smaller next season, so they're more delicate and ladylike, and that's to do with her, I think." Here are Kate's favorite clutches throughout the years.

"We value general knowledge, social sciences, arts, and literacy but kids are valued and not judged," O'Rourke told Yahoo! Shine. "There are no grades and we don't waste kid's time by loading them up with homework. Allowing them to learn organically through playing and interacting with other kids in a nurturing environment will help them grow into smart individuals." For the school's 40th anniversary in September 2012, former Alpha student and photographer Michael Barker shot portraits of alumni in a series called "Alpha Alternative School 1942/2012."

For the students of Thomas's Private Day School in Battersea, London, having a bestie is an idea that should become extinct, according to the Ben Thomas, the school's headmaster.
After parents recently complained that their children were "no longer allowed to have best friends," Thomas told the London Telegraph, "There is sound judgment behind it. You can get very possessive friendships, and it is much easier if they share friendships and have a wide range of good friends rather than obsessing too much about who their best friend is. I would certainly endorse a policy which says we should have lots of good friends, not a best friend."
Thomas added that girls in particular were more likely to form cliques and exclude others.

On Tuesday, The Netherlands' Princess Beatrix, 75, abdicated the throne after 33 years to her son and new king Willem-Alexander, 46, and his wife Maxima, 41. In doing so, she made way for three little princesses, not even in their tweens.
The new Princesses of the Netherlands are Catherine-Amalia, 9 (the oldest and officially first in line to become the next monarch of the Netherlands), Alexia, 7, and Ariane, 6.
The girls, who go by the collective nickname "Triple A Princess" wore yellow frocks complete with headbands and bows and practiced their princess waves to 25,000 subjects on the balcony of the Royal Palace after Queen Beatrix introduced the new king and queen.
The tiny royals then did a quick costume change into matching royal blue dresses with ribbons in their hair for the official ceremony and held hands while leading the procession into the decommissioned church in Nieuwe Kerk where their parents were sworn in, walking Read More »from Meet the Three New Princesses: New Queen of Netherlands' Daughters

That is just great! Hopefully one of the exploits will be released to the public soon enough. Cause right now it seems like Apple will take as much time as they possibly can with releasing the final iOS 4.3
I guess it's good... still waiting on untethered for 4.2...
After reading about ASLR security in iOS 4.3, this is good news. Apple is definately getting more serious about making it more difficult to jailbreak your iDevice. Nice job Pod2g.
There will always be a jailbreak. There might be a long wait, it may have to be tethered, or maybe even skip around on available firmwares but apple will not be able to stop it all together. There are too many people that want it and too many people working on or supporting it.
i'm still hoping for that untethered 4.2.1 soon
4.2.1 is untethered =P redsn0w 0.9.7b6 + mac = untethered 4.2.1 =D i am running iPad 3G 64 GB untethered jailbroken 4.2.1 flawless
whats the point of finding new exploits?
I'm hoping for an untethered 4.2.1 for my iPad that can be used with Windows
Can't wait for 4.3 to drop
JB your phone and then get back to us about 4.3
Exploits are the holes in the firmware that allow the JB to take process or to even have a JB. Every time a new JB is released apple patches that JB by Patching The exploit used to insert the JB into the idevice. There for making the devs or any JB developer to search for new exploits in the new firmware to insert the next JB into your idevice.
I hate how they keep showing off stuff for future firmware when they haven't even released an untethered jailbreak for 4.2.1
How about the devs start doing what I said the other day.
Instead of telling the world about what they find they STFU and keep quiet and work on making the actual jailbreak then release it (WITHOUT SOURCE CODE). That way there will be less blocks and we would always have a working jailbreak.
The way the do it now doesn't just tell us about it they are also telling crApple how to block it which is a really stupid move.
They say they have a few unteathered jailbreaks and hacks already? How about you release one for the current firmware as everyone wants an unteathered jailbreak and some of us wont be upgrading to the newer firmware when it gets released.
If they are waiting for the next firmware thats just a lame excuse to them not being about to make a jailbreak or they are just being pricks.
Now if only they can make jailbreaks out of these holes, or atleast Geohot doesn't steal them

Description: Qulture is a soon-to-be-launched, revolutionary online arts and culture destination, featuring news, features, interviews and videos focusing on the Arab world. The site, which will be available in English and Arabic, will place an emphasis on enlightening readers and creating a sophisticated dialog about visual arts, cinema, music, food, design, fashion, travel and sport— all seen from a uniquely Middle Eastern perspective. Qulture aims to give its readers insight into the vibrant and diverse world of Arab culture and arts, showcasing the premier tastemakers in the region and beyond. The website and its editorial team will be based in Doha, Qatar. Qulture is looking to fill the following roles: Editors, contributors, columnists, and translators: Qulture is looking for a number of editors who will write, commission, edit and post stories online. Editors must display an interest in one or more of the following categories: visual arts, music, film, fashion, architecture, interiors, food and sport, with an emphasis on work emerging from the Middle East. The editors will also participate in regular meetings to contribute new ideas and help expand the site's coverage. Editor applicants must have at least five years experience in commissioning, editing and writing for a major newspaper, magazine or website. Applicants must also be comfortable with using a CMS and new media tools. The right candidate will also demonstrate a strong interest in the Middle East. Arabic is strongly recommended but not a prerequisite.

Contributors should demonstrate a unique and mature perspective on arts, culture and lifestyle in the Middle East. They should also be proven self-starters with a track record of securing big interviews and exclusives — and hitting deadlines.

2007 Passenger Fuse Box Layout
Posted 22 January 2013 - 06:34 PM
My cigar lighter that powers my satnav socket has stopped working. Strangely the boot auxilary still has power, its just the !Removed! lighter thats down The owners hand book has the wrong fuse board in it compared with my Diesel Estate and its dark and cold outside. Can anyone post a layout or give me the amperage and colour of the fuse that's gone.
Why are Ford so stupid

There is a link to the relevant fusebox layout there.
I posted the link as I've had that problem too (Haynes shows the wrong one too).
And by the way- welcome to the forum.
Posted 22 January 2013 - 08:05 PM
Posted 23 January 2013 - 01:48 AM
In that case this is the fuse location-
According to the fuse listing the front and rear sockets run from the same fuse, maybe the wire has come off the front socket or it has just packed up/corroded.
It may be worth pulling the socket out and checking it, replacement ones are dirt cheap on eBay.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 10:04 AM
Many thanks. Yes my car is a Style. The picture you sent is correct and that's the position of the fuse. I don't suppose you have a list of the other fuses on the board? I could then put it in the handbook so roadside breakdowns could be dealt with more easily. I did not realize that they fitted different fuse boards on the style, Pity the did not share this simple fact with their customers.
Reminds me of B.L in the good old days,they never knew what bits they fitted to the cars either. i remember an inner drive shaft boot cover, the manual said you could change it, but BL said that it had to be a new shaft. The bloke in the stores at the agent said " I wondered why we had bin full of them and never sold any"

We offer two ways to locate information:
We have added the following products to your shopping cart from a previous visit:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Cabernet from this iconic 35-year-old vineyard always delivers power, structure and rich concentrated black fruit. This is a dense wine with great aging potential. This vintage is nearly pure Cabernet (99%) with intense dark fruit and long finish. I call this my steakhouse red!
"Year in and year out, the Cold Creek Vineyard sources perhaps the most ageworthy, perfectly structured Cabernet in the entire Ste. Michelle portfolio. In 2008 the alcohol hits 15%, yet the tight, dense, cassisladen body of the wine is intact, with an appropriate hint of herb. The length and balance once again suggest a wine that has decades of life ahead.Cellar Selection" 93 Points Wine Enthusiast
"Bright red-ruby. Sweet, inviting aromas of black raspberry, mocha, minerals, tobacco and mint complemented by ripe soil tones. Silky on entry, then sexy and seamless in the middle, with concentrated flavors of cassis, black plum and dark chocolate. At once plush and shapely, with ripe acidity giving the wine an impression of refinement. The ripe tannins reach the front teeth on the long finish, with violet and menthol elements providing lift. A lovely, classy cabernet. " 92 Points International Wine Cellar
"For thoughts on Chateau Ste Michelle's uniqueness and recent evolution, consult my extensive April, 2013 text designed to introduce recent tasting notes. Sandalwood, vanilla, nutmeg, tobacco and ripe dark berries make for an alluring aromatic display in Ste Michelle's 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Cold Creek Vineyard and inform a broad, satiny palate with carob and dark chocolate undertones. Like other of the best 2008s – and in keeping with others from Ste Michelle, this retains delightful freshness of berry juiciness and introduces a saliva-inducing salinity to its sustained finish such as you'll find too seldom in a big-bodied North American Cabernet, much less one at this price." 91 Points The Wine Advocate
"Firm in texture, with chewy tannins around the core of tobacco-accented currant and floral flavors, finishing with finesse. Best from 2013 through 2016. 7,000 cases made." 90 Points Wine Spectator
Founded in 1934, Chateau Ste. Michelle is the oldest winery in Washington with some of the most mature vineyards in the Columbia Valley.

(cab-uhr-NAY sow-veeh-yawn) King of Red Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes. Perhaps that title is due to its ability to grow worldwide in a number of climates, or to the fact that it produces wine with such character yet such diversity.

One of the things I look forward to every few months is attending local farm auctions. When we moved to the country several years ago, I first attended these events as an outsider...a greenhorn who knew not a bushog from a disc harrow, a golf cart from a Gator or a band saw from a table saw. Shoulda, woulda, coulda learned those things earlier in life, but didn't, and so the auction was a new and exciting kind of place for me, sort of like a yard sale of anything to do with farming,…

I'm looking into keeping uncastrated pigs for meat. At what age do you butcher yours? Have you ever had a problem with boar taint? and I understand you seperate males and females, why? Any advice would be helpful.

By Antiagingtreatment The best anti aging skin treatments only work if you follow them. By Antiagingtreatment When it comes to anti aging skin care products, you will find a sea of them in department stores. By Antiagingskincare As baby boomers and the generation after them begin to notice the inevitable signs of aging, many are looking to skin care products to help give their skin a boost. By Antiageing Many women face the same concerns every day. They look in the mirror and see themselves starting to look older, or they fear getting older. By Antiagingskincare When choosing and anti-aging skin care routine, going natural is a very smart move, plants have resources in them that can do wonders for skin care. By Antiageing Choosing a skincare treatment for aging skin is not exactly the simplest task. There are thousands of products out there claiming the ability to reverse or halt the aging process. By Antiagingskincare Everyone wants beautiful, dewy skin, but as one ages, the skin can lose its freshness. By Antiagingtreatment Skin care products that help with aging are sometimes not easy to find. As a rule, a product should fit you skin type and cater to your needs. If you already have wrinkles and want to get rid of them, a strong natural solution is best. By Antiagingskincare If you are searching for the best way to reduce aging on your skin, then you need to make sure you do all of your research. By Antiageing It is important for you to find a skin care treatment that is without chemicals or dyes, because they can ultimately harm your skin. By Antiageing Okay, so you have hit the point in life when you say, "Forget aging gracefully, I want the beauty of my youth back!" now you have to figure out what anti aging product is right for you. By Antiaging Today, there are so many anti aging skin care products on the shelves, how do you choose the right ones for you? A good guide is to analyze your skin and decide what you wish a given product to do for you. By Antiaging Many of us are older, now trying to regain our youth. What if we had the right information when we were young to help prevent excessive aging in the first place? This article is dedicated to help stop skin problems before they start. By Antiagingtreatment There are so many different skin care products out there that it is hard to know which ones really work. Many different companies come out with new products that boast to be the strongest and fastest working anti aging formulas. By Antiagingtreatment As we age there are some great products designed to keep our skin looking healthy and young, while preventing and even reversing the signs of aging. Each person has a different type of skin. By Antiagingtreatment There are many claims that an anti aging product is able to revitalize the skin. These claims are not false, but are only true with certain products. By Antiagingtreatment Women of different ages need different skin care routines. When looking for an anti-aging regime for our skin our age plays a large factor in what products will work for us. By Antiaging Anti aging skin care is a controversial and interesting topic. By Antiageing Age can take a toll on your skin. It causes it to lose it's shimmer, and overall appearance. As time passes our skin becomes dryer, saggier, and wrinklier. There are, however, some steps you can take to keep your skin firm and beautiful. By Antiagingskincare The most important factor when buying anti aging skin care products is how it is going to work in the long term. By Antiaging Do you still feel young and youthful and yet your skin has started to loose that attractive and youthful glow it once had? By Antiaging With all of the anti-aging products that are available now, it is difficult to know which one is right for you. By Antiageing Another weapon in the battle against aging skin is gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA. It works as an inhibitory neuro-transmitter. It is calming and encourages sleep. GABA is said to 'balance' the brain. By Antiageing There are a few steps that men and women can follow to get younger looking skin. The cleanliness of the skin goes beyond soap and water, and is something that should be taken seriously if younger skin is the goal. By Antiageing Excess oil, otherwise known as sebum, occurs when the sebaceous glands produce too much oil. The overproduction of sebum can cause greasy skin and clogged pores, which can lead to acne. By Antiageing One of the hardest parts to keep looking young is that of your eyes. We live in a crazy time where life just keeps getting faster and faster. By Antiageing Women have scoured the earth, the convenience store, and online health and beauty sites to find the perfect anti ageing skin care products to beat the elements of time and poor eating habits that are visible to the naked eye. By Bestantiaging When comparison shopping for beauty products that make the skin look younger, it is important to gather all the facts about different anti-aging products. By Bestantiaging Aging of the skin occurs due to the decrease of hormones that naturally occur in the body. As the body ages the hormones decrease and this causes the skin to wrinkle and sag. The best way to combat this is to give the body a little help. By Bestantiaging As medical technology improves, the average lifespan increases. People are living longer, more productive lives. It is only natural that a person would like to hold on to their youthful looks a little longer as well. By Bestantiaging The newest breakthroughs in anti ageing skin care offer a thorough regime that will make you look and feel younger quickly. By Antiagingtreatment It is never too early to start a consistent skin care program. If you invest in high quality anti ageing skin products, you will quickly see your skin smooth and even out. By Antiagingtreatment One of the problems with the numerous amount of anti-aging products that proliferate the market is determining which developments are actually helpful and which developments are scams. By Antiagingtreatment There is a lot you can do to help your skin stay young, including an anti aging product.

Google Avoided $2 Billion in Taxes by Stashing Money in Bermuda: Report
Google managed to avoid $2 billion in international income taxes in 2011 by moving a hefty sum of its revenues to subsidiaries in Bermuda, according to a report.
The search giant reportedly stashed $9.8 billion in revenues to its shell company in Bermuda — which doesn't have a corporate income tax — last year allowing the company to shave its overall tax rate by almost 50 percent, Bloomberg reported.
Google's Bermuda move was disclosed in a Nov. 21 filing by a subsidiary in the Netherlands. While the company's move to shift funds to the country was legal, it could spur the growing global criticism of corporate tax avoidance.
Just last week, the European Commission said that EU countries should work together to find a way to keep companies from avoiding taxes, which the EU claimed cost it over $1 trillion each year.
Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

COLUMBIA — A light drizzle dampened the uncovered area in front of the Greyhound bus station, where Denise Owens and Luis Hernandez waited for the building to open at 1 p.m. on a recent Monday. Owens sat on a weathered bench beside her lone leather bag and a crutch, a grim look on her face and a cast encasing her right leg. Beside her, Hernandez sat on a cinder block, surrounded by his three duffel bags, because there was nowhere else to sit besides the ground.
Moving Greyhound services to Wabash still a major goal for City Council

Planning board sends steep slope proposal to Macon commissioners
Written by Giles Morris- Haven convinces board that motel is home
- Macon candidate challenges reveal rift between conservative, moderate Republicans
- No more Mr. Nice Guy
- County races
- To the summit: Old age no match for record-setting Macon man
- Reasonable people can disagree on development ordinance
- Macon hopes for home run
- Jackson public delivers message loud and clear: uphold steep slope rules
The Macon County Planning Board voted unanimously March 18 to forward the recommendations of its steep slope committee to the county commissioners.
"What I would like to ask is that the planning board take this document before the commissioners and say, 'This is the basic idea, let's develop an ordinance,'" said slope committee chair Al Slagle.
Slagle and the other members of the steep slope committee spent the better part of a year hammering out the underlying principles of the proposed regulations.
The county commissioners will have a chance to review the committee's findings at their meeting on April 12 and decide whether to send it back to the planning board with directions to draft an ordinance.

Everyday, there are thousands of children just like Sophy who face malnutrition, other diseases and illnesses. In Kenya, the most basic of nutritious foods is beyond the reach of most people.
ChildFund's Nutrition program addresses lasting solutions to reduce malnutrition and improve children's lives. We believe that by educating parents and communities on the importance of good nutrition and exploring ways to increase food availability, we can ensure that children not only survive but lead healthy lives.
"When I discovered my granddaughter Sophy was HIV positive, I lost hope in her life".
These words convey the sadness of Lucy Atieno, a 42 year old widow of seven children and three grandchildren, for her granddaughter, Sophy.
Lucy remembers a time when Sophy was weak, ailing and unable to participate in school. The effect of HIV/AIDS and malnutrition not only slowed Sophy's physical growth but also her mental capacity. In the village of Karabondi in Kenya, where Lucy and her family live, poverty is rampant.
The very nature of poverty is debilitating and more so for orphaned children with special health needs like Sophy. Sophy lost both her parents at a very young age. She tries to be strong for her grandmother, but children like Sophy need to have access to medical care and nutritious food to be healthy or unfortunately, their future can be uncertain.
Ever since Lucy enrolled her granddaughter in ChildFund's Pamoja Child Support Feeding Program, she's been amazed at the transformation of Sophy. "I could not believe the change in her."
The Pamoja Child Support Feeding Program is part of the Early Childhood Development (ECD) centre in Karabondi. A safe and protective environment, children like Sophy are provided with access to nutrition, education and playtime.
When Sophy was first enrolled in this program, she weighed only 14 kilos (31 pounds). With better nutrition, deworming, and vitamin A supplements, within the first four months Sophy's weight shot up by 3 kilos (7 pounds). Sophy became more active at home and in school.
Today, Sophy looks like any girl her age. In Lucy's words, "I can afford to smile when I glance at her... she is healthier, active and I am relieved."
ChildFund has made a huge difference in Sophy's life. Today, Sophy can look forward to a brighter future.
