These plans represent
the water quality and
biological monitoring
being done by the
Department in
preparation for basin
assessments as part of
the watershed management
approach. The Watershed
Assessment, Strategic
Monitoring Plans are
developed to assist in
assessing the health of
surface waters by
conducting hydrological
and biological
monitoring activities.
These activities are
carried out by Regional
Operation Center (ROC)
staff located in each of
the Department's six
District offices and
assessment staff in
For additional
information and/or to
download the 2014
Strategic Monitoring
plans, please see the
Strategic Monitoring
Plans web page.
The Department has published revised verified lists of impaired waters and
delist lists by
Secretarial Order (signed by DEP Secretary Herschel Vinyard, Jr. and
filed by the Department clerk on January 27, 2014) for the
Group 1 (Suwannee, Ocklawaha, and Tampa
Bay); Group 2 (Middle St. Johns River
and Tampa Bay Tributaries); Group 3
(Choctawhatchee – St. Andrews); and
Group 5 (Everglades, Indian River Lagoon, Springs Coast, and Upper East
Coast) basins.
The Department continuously strives for accurate and scientifically
defensible assessments with the goal of identifying impaired waters and
restoring water quality. These lists were revised to make
necessary changes in response to additional information provided to and
evaluated by the Department. The amended lists can be found at the
links provided above and include the Office of General Counsel case
numbers for the listings.
Now that these lists have been adopted by Secretarial Order, the
Department staff will prioritize waters on the verified list for TMDL
development. A Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) represents the
maximum amount of pollutant loading that can be discharged to a
waterbody and still attain its designated uses. After TMDL
adoption, the next step in this process will be the development, by
watershed stakeholders and the Department, of a Basin Management Action
Plan (BMAP). The BMAP will specify the activities, schedule, and
funding sources that point and nonpoint source dischargers will
undertake to restore the waterbody.
The Department is pleased to announce the publication of the
Integrated Water Quality Assessment Report for Florida.
This report represents one of the most comprehensive data collection
efforts in the nation and provides the reader with substantial
information regarding the quality of our waters. These
comprehensive analyses are made possible by the support of the citizens
of Florida, who agree that our waterbodies are a central part of our
state's culture and heritage. This report includes contributions from
monitoring efforts at all levels – by government, universities,
volunteer groups, and individuals – resulting in substantially more
monitoring stations and water quality data than any other state in the
nation. More than 30% of the nutrient data for the nation comes
from Florida waters. In fact, 25% of the nation's ambient water
quality monitoring stations (more than 41,000) are located within
This large amount of water quality data is used annually for the
assessment of waterbody health by means of a comprehensive stepwise
approach. Hundreds of assessments are conducted each year.
Additionally, as part of this report, a statewide water quality
condition is presented using an unbiased randomized monitoring design,
and water quality trends are reported at 76 separate surface water and
49 ground water stations. These efforts allow us to understand the
state's water conditions, make decisions that further enhance our
waterways, and focus our efforts towards to address problems. (Excerpted
from the Letter to Floridians)
Florida's rivers, streams, lakes, estuaries, and coastal waters are spectacularly beautiful. More
than that, they are essential natural resources, supplying the water necessary
for aquatic life, both large and microscopic; drinking water; recreation;
industry; fishing and shellfish harvesting; and agriculture.
Florida's multi-billion tourist industry would vanish if our water resources
were irreparably degraded.
Protecting these abundant water resource, restoring them when they become
damaged because of unmanaged growth and development, and preserving them for
the future is your responsibility and ours.
DEP's Divisions of Water Resource Management and Environmental Assessment and
Restoration implement a wide range of
programs to protect and restore Florida's surface waters. Tour this website
and you will find dozens of different strategies and activities underway to
benefit water quality. At the heart of these efforts, particularly in
identifying water quality problems and establishing clean-up objectives, is
the Watershed Assessment program.

Welcome to the group, Jay Prosch. The Houston Texans have added another piece to the puzzle in the sixth round of the 2014 NFL Draft.
Owners, general managers and coaches are meeting as we speak to discuss possible rule changes and additions to our beloved sport. Let us hear what you think about them.
Reports are flying that interim special teams coordinator Bob Ligashesky will retain his position as Joe Marciano's successor and the Texans' special teams coordinator.
An open letter to the man who brought so much... emotion to game days.
The bloodbath continues at Reliant Park today, as the Texans have fired special teams coordinator Joe Marciano hours after terminating head coach Gary Kubiak. Texans fans will not be upset by that...
Texans. Jaguars. Thursday Night Football. FEEL THE EXCITEMENT! Or, just, I don't know, cry about how awful the 2013 Houston Texans are and how you're going to watch them try to avoid an eleventh...
Can the Houston Texans lose their tenth game in a row? You betcha! Talk about the Texans and their game against the Patriots in Battle Red Blog's "Countdown To Kickoff" before it kicks off at noon...
As we wait for the Texans and Jaguars to take the field at Reliant Stadium this afternoon, stop by Battle Red Blog's "Countdown To Kickoff" thread to add your two cents about the game.
The Texans brought three kickers in for a tryout yesterday. Doesn't that mean Randy Bullock and his woeful field goal conversion rate are on the way out? Apparently, no.
Proudly Distributing Sensationalized Garbage Since 2010. In this week's edition, the Texans find an answer to their pesky kicking and secondary problems.

In collaboration with the Inner Core Committee, MetroFuture Walks & Talks will be hosting an afternoon walk from 3-4:30 pm on June 26 along the Blueback Herring River Route in Somerville. In the fall of 2009 the City of Somerville was awarded a grant by the Massachusetts Environmental Trust to create new opportunities for the community to access and enjoy the Mystic River. One component was to develop a safe pedestrian route from Foss Park to the Blessing of the Bay boathouse called the Blueback Herring River Route. We will gather at the Mystic Activity Center for a brief overview of the project and then we will walk along the 0.6 mile route and back (a total of 1.2 miles). Each participant will receive a copy of the Blueback Herring River Route map as well as a copy of the publication "How to Develop Walking Routes to the Lower Mystic River and its Tributaries: A Tool Kit". Please note that portions of the sidewalks along the route are rough and uneven and may be difficult to navigate in a wheelchair or for people with other mobility difficulties. This event is made possible with funding provided by the Sustainable Communities grant and will take place rain or shine. RSVP here.

I read with great interest Edward Wasserman's Dec. 23 column, Were the media right to expose a spy?, which included the Associated Press' account of Robert Levinson's work in Iran.
Wasserman's closing statement, "The need for accountability is more desperate than ever. Some stories need telling, secret or not," truly goes to the core of the problem. I trust that Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., will succeed in his efforts to ban the bulk collection of phone records that violates the privacy of Americans. Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., has also stated that "it's time for real reform, not a veneer of reform."
Our government must take every step necessary to regain the trust of the American people, and that of our allies in our intelligence agencies.

Vermont's state plane has been grounded. Vt. Transportation Secretary Brian Searles shared the news Tuesday morning at Channel 3's "Policy Over Easy" breakfast. He says the plane is not safe to fly and will not be used by any state officials.
The move comes days after the Shumlin administration came under criticism for putting a new plane in the upcoming budget. That line item has since been nixed.
"We're taking a step back, the Legislature has questioned us, that's their role, we've accept that and we'll take another look at it," Searles said.

No one likes computer problems. So if Microsoft calls or sends you an e-mail saying they've detected a problem with your PC, what should you do? The obvious answer to fix it is wrong.
Sir, We Have Found A Problem Many computer users have received a strange call lately from someone claiming to be from Microsoft. They say your installed version of Windows has a serious problem.
"They wanted me to purchase this program that would remove the trojans, the viruses, the worms, everything," said Susan Grabow.
Tina Wolff runs a computer repair shop called My Geek Station. Several of her clients have received the call and even fell for it.
"They are calling about Windows errors," she said. "Everybody has Windows errors. So immediately you are listening." Wolff says the caller claims Microsoft routinely scans PCs through home Internet connections for problems. It sounds convincing. "Over the last couple of weeks, I've had four to five customers tell me they've received this phone call," Wolff said. "One man said he actually let them into his computer and gave them his credit card information." Only after the so-called "repair session" do you learn the price. "He spent an hour on the phone, and at the end of the hour, they told him they were going to charge him $300," said Wolff. But Microsoft does not scan home computers. The company says it's a foreign scam to sell worthless anti-virus programs and collect credit card numbers. What To Do If you receive a call like this, say you're not interested and hang up. Wolff's advice: Never allow anyone who calls access to your computer or credit card.
Remember, no one is monitoring your computer remotely.Be careful of any e-mail, pop up, or phone call warning of a problem with your computer. That warning may be the problem.
That way you don't waste your money.

If Red Stripe can do it, why can't Digicel?
At this time in our 50th year of political Independence when the buzzwords "nationalism" and "patriotism" are being liberally sprinkled over almost all aspects of social and political discussion, it is useful to examine, if not in totality, just a few of the instances in which globalisation had made its unstoppable intrusion in our polity.
When Air Jamaica (Air J) was finally sold to Caribbean Airlines (CAL) a few years ago, the majority of Jamaicans were hopping mad. It didn't matter that the airline had long been a losing proposition, bleeding taxpayers about US$200 million annually.
The nationalism in us blinded us to the twin realities of an entity heading for the fiscal cliff, and the ability we had to seek a buyer for Air J from any place on the planet. In the end, we sold Air J to CAL and, although the fuming has not died down locally, it hardly changes the tough rules inherent in the globalised village that Planet Earth has become.
Similarly, before that when Desnoes and Geddes, brewers of world-famous Red Stripe beer, sold the company to foreign interests, the late Paul Geddes was a pariah in private conversation. How could he do such a thing? many asked. Why would a Jamaican do that "to us"? others questioned.
We had been so attached to Red Stripe beer and D&G soft drinks that we had taken them not only into our houses but our lives. They were family. How could D&G "sell us out", we said, while really not thinking too clearly about Planet Earth as one big trading/commercial platform.
The present owners of Red Stripe are the British-based giant, Diageo. They own just about all of the international spirit brands that are worth anything, like Johnnie Walker and Smirnoff, Guinness and now Red Stripe. In hindsight, for D&G to have taken Red Stripe to front row on the world stage, it would have had to do basically one of two things: attempt to go head-to-head with the big multinationals, an almost impossible mission, or sell out majority shareholding to one of them.
So, the Diageo partnership became a reality, even as oldsters like myself still reminisced about the "glory days" of a cold Red Stripe beer being owned by D&G.
In terms of local management of these foreign-based firms, some may believe that I am exuding too much nationalism in congratulating Cedric Blair as head of Red Stripe.
According to a Business Observer article of August 10, 2012 headlined 'Red Stripe boss to run Brazilian acquisition - First local at helm of brewer in 3 years': "The board and executive team of Red Stripe welcome Mr Blair to his new role and wish him every success," said the company in a statement to the Jamaica Stock Exchange.
"Blair will be Red Stripe's first Jamaican boss since Mark McKenzie, who stepped down in 2009 to make way for Alan Barnes. Barnes, who was subsequently replaced in 2011 by Gonzalez, has been credited with turning around the brewery's performance in his only full financial year at the helm. The company's net profit for the nine months to March 31, 2012 was $757 million, up 70 per cent over the same period last year."
For long it has been no secret that Jamaica can produce as good as the rest of the developed world. We have produced scientists, researchers in many fields, top managers, et al, but unfortunately the country's economic base does not allow for many of them to develop fully here, take good jobs and make a financial success of themselves as they would do in a European city, Canada or the USA.
For this reason I am always pleased to see a son of the soil stepping up as Cedric Blair has. As the Observer article also stated, "A long-serving employee of Red Stripe, Blair has held roles mostly in engineering and operations at the company since 1995. He was seconded in 2005 to Diageo North America, where he worked in the US spirits industry before returning to Red Stripe as supply director in 2010."
The board, led by Richard Byles and Diageo, majority shareholders, must be commended for this move. I am certain that Blair will take Red Stripe to bigger places than the person he replaced.
Digicel, Jamaica's leading mobile provider, has been the epitome of what a success story can be. Since it was set up in Jamaica in 2001, it has lived a dream — and that dream has been provided by Jamaicans.
In its early years, it took a Jamaican marketing manager from D&G — of all places — to be its marketing manager from day one. That was Harry Smith and he turned out to be Digicel's godsend. He worked wonders. Now he serves as a respected member of the Digicel Jamaica board.
There is, however, a gaping hole to be filled.
When Digicel's main competitor LIME is factored in, we see Jamaicans at the helm like Chris Dehring and Garry Sinclair.
Digicel is at the heart of almost every Jamaican, and although it calls itself a Jamaican company, I have yet to see a Jamaican CEO in the forefront of things. Why is this so?
Surely, it cannot be that there is a shortage of highly qualified Jamaicans. Let us get cocky here. This is our 50th year of political Independence and we have just creamed off at the Olympics!
Some say that the main reason that Jamaica has not achieved economic "independence" is that our politics has created an economic environment that drives the best minds and the most trained and creative and innovative of us towards other shores like the USA, Canada, and Britain.
The Irish Digicel bosses always like to repeat what may, or may not be, a fallacy — that the Irish are like Jamaicans.
Well, the Jamaicans like the Irish, it seems, and we have cottoned on to Digicel. But is Digicel saying to us that since 2001, not one single Jamaican has been found fit enough to be considered CEO?
That, I do not believe. Not in year 50 of Jamaica.

Iziar de Miguel
Wilson Décembre
Maîtrise de philosophie, Université de Paris-Sorbonne (Paris IV)
Areas of specialization: philosophy and literature, Black Francophone culture and literature, Paganism (philosophy, arts and literature).
I was born in Jacmel, Haiti. After one year studying at L'Ecole Normale Supérieure de Port-au-Prince (année préparatoire de philosophie), I went to Paris where I earned a Maîtrise in Modern Philosophy. My thesis, supervised by Professor Patrick Wotling, was entitled: "L'Aliénation chez Feuerbach et Nietzsche : Essai sur deux philosophies de l'immanence."
I have published many articles. Most of them are about (or related to) philosophical topics. My main interest is paganism. How it is (and/or can be) lived, thought, developed, constructed… through different branches of culture such as: philosophy, the arts, literature, etc. Led by this spirit, I have written Vitalité et Spiritualité : Apologie du rapport-au-monde afro-haïtien (Paris: L'Harmattan, 2009), a book in which I point out how the Afro-haitian culture whose vodou (not "voodoo") is the cornerstone shows a broad and striking sympathy with life, a Dionysian sympathy (in the Nietzschean sense of the word). This is what I analyze through different aspects: the practical, the ethical, the esthetical and the (properly speaking) philosophical aspects.
I am a 4th year doctoral student and for my thesis I plan to analyze the pagan symbolism and "metaphorique" in Rene Depestre's literary work with the theoretical help of thinkers such as Nietzsche, Bataille, etc. I have been teaching French as an adjunct at Pace University (New York) since 2005.

£58,000 play area grant for Bishop Henderson Primary School
8:00pm Wednesday 30th January 2013 in Taunton
BISHOP Henderson Primary School, Taunton, has won a £58,000 Community Covenant Grant to create a play area for civilian and forces children to mix.
The bid for MoD funding was supported by the Somerset Community Covenant Partnership whose chairman, county councillor Tony McMahon, said: "We're delighted we have another Somerset project that has won a grant, and such a substantial amount.
"I hope the success seen by Bishop Henderson School will inspire more people to come forward with their ideas for building stronger links between Somerset's civilian and military communities."
The 'Space For …' project will provide a range of allweather, accessible play equipment for primary-aged children, including climbing equipment, performance area and traversing wall.
It will also transform a currently unusable space into a meeting area for families and friends.
Head teacher Edward Gregory said: "As a successful school, we're delighted to do all we can to build stronger links with Armed Forces families in the Taunton area."

Rear end swap
Anybody out there know if a 3 speed tranny and rear axle from a narrow frame Cub Cadet will fit a wide frame model - without any modifications?
Re: Rear end swap
This is what I found. I hope it helps.
I'm really good at doing nothing…With that said…I'm really, really good at doing nothing
Re: Rear end swap
The differential housing swap out, no problem. You'll need your axle tubes from the wide frame, to bolt onto the narrow frame differential. The only limiting factor is the internal or external brakes. Most of the wide frame CC tractors had external brakes (calipers and disks out on the axle tubes). Some of the narrow frame tractors had internal brakes, so this would not work in a wide frame tractor (well, not easily).

Re: Rear end swap
Thanks for the feedback.
Re: Rear end swap
I have an 86 (wide frame Cub Cadet that has a comeplete rear end out of a 72 Cub Cadet. The only thing I had to change was the gear shifter. If your wide frame Cub Cadet is a manual trans Cub Cadet it should be easy to do change. I went frome disc brakes to an internal brake set up. The rod that goes between the brake lever and clutch/brake pedal arm may be a different length to the one in your wide frame Cub Cadet. I used the one that came the 72 rear end.

Paralegals and support staff are also included in the move to Woods Oviatt, a law firm press release says.

Politico's Alexander Burns Trips and Falls in 'Correction' of Gingrich About Abortion Bias
By Tim Graham | February 23, 2012 | 08:17
Politico's Alexander Burns came out of Wednesday night's debate eager to "correct" Newt Gingrich for whapping CNN moderator John King for asking about contraception yet again (through the device of "hey, I have a question here from the audience.") Gingrich replied: "You did not once in the 2008 campaign, not once did anybody in the elite media ask why Barack Obama voted in favor of legalizing infanticide."
Burns claimed that was wrong, and found an example (or...actually, he didn't):
MRC reported in 2008 that the media glossed over Obama's abortion record as they scorched Sarah Palin for her pro-life beliefs.
The reference was to Obama's vote in the Illinois state Senate against a measure banning late-term abortions. The audience cheered and neither King nor Gingrich's opponents challenged the assertion. But of course, Obama was asked about the vote during the 2008 campaign. It was a major source of criticism. Only one example is this interview Obama gave to "Fox News Sunday" in April of that year, during which he explained his views like so:
On an issue like partial-birth abortion, I strongly believe that the state can properly restrict late-term abortions. I have said so repeatedly. All I've said is we should have a provision to protect the health of the mother, and many of the bills that came before me didn't have that.
Not that that will take away from Gingrich scoring points by attacking the hated media …
But the "hated media" sometimes ought to read the transcript twice before puffing themselves up. Is this what they taught the Harvard Class of 2008? One might think Burns spent more time partying than watching the media in '08, because Obama's three votes in the Illinois state legislature against a "Born-Alive Infants Protection Act" barely came up.
The Politico headline was "Newt: Media never asked Obama about 'infanticide' -- except it did." If Burns wanted to prove Gingrich wrong, he'd find an actual question about that. Click on the Burns link, and it's quite clear Chris Wallace was asking a more generic question to Obama, about whether he was truly a bridge-builder:
WALLACE: But, Senator, if I may, I think one of the concerns that some people have is that you talk a good game about, "Let's be post-partisan, let's all come together," just a couple of quick things, and I don't really want you to defend each one. I just want to speak to the larger issue.
OBAMA: Right.
WALLACE: The gang of 14, which was a group, a bipartisan coalition, to try to resolve the issue of judicial nominations. Fourteen senators came together. You weren't part of it. On some issues where Democrats have moved to the center — partial birth abortion, defense of marriage act — you stay on the left and you are against both.
And so people say, "Do you really want a partnership with Republicans, or do you really want unconditional surrender from them?"
Overnight, Burns reported "conservative readers" pointed out to him what should have been obvious to him. His link didn't prove his case.

Without revisionist history, liberalism could not be a viable political entity.
The continual record of blunders, outrages, fraud, cronyism, and rule by fiat would have them lynched if it were not for a continual rewriting of history.
One has to wonder at the ultimate aims of the people who support and defend the liberal political agenda.

It seems we not only have a President who has lied to us on numerous occasions, a judicial system you can pretty much predict the outcome of the decision based on which President appointed them, journalists that outright lie or omit pertinent facts to a story, and a government that will manipulate and distort data to sway congress into passing morally bankrupt laws - to wit, the recent findings that the Navy manipulated data to show the military was in favor of repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell.

A small donation has gone a long way for not only the organization it benefited, but also the woman who made it.
Jaclyn Rothmel entered into the raffle to win a brand new Acura MDX at the Smithville Fall Festival. At the time, she thought she was just doing a good deed by donating the money to the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization of Cape May and Atlantic Counties. Rothmel was just one of nearly 1,400 people who contributed to the raffle. She never thought she'd actually win the car.
"I can't believe I'm standing here next to my car. Their program is great, I was really excited to donate, I'm SUPER excited to win. I'm just so thankful, it's awesome, it's unbelievable, it's unreal," said Rothmel.
Boardwalk Acura provided the MDX for the raffle. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cape May and Atlantic Counties CEO Beatrix Jerkins says this is the first time since 2005 the organization has sold out of raffle tickets, raising more than $80,000 for the organization.

Joystiq are reporting that recent NDP results have appeared for the US November sales, putting Nintendo's recent Wii U console at 425,000 units sold - at least for the seven days that it counted towards the NDP (the Nov. 18 launch through Nov. 24). This puts it just shy of 50,000 units less than what the original Wii console sold during its first week of launch in America, a definite success in anyone's books.
Nintendo has only provided sales on one Wii U game so far, with New Super Mario Bros. U selling more than 243,000 units, an attach rate of nearly 60 percent. The press release also details that in the November month the 3DS sold 540,000 units while the Wii sold 420,000 units. Nintendo has also detailed that in its 97th month, the DS has sold 370,000, making it Nintendo's most profitable handheld device with 53 million overall sales to date.
