Byron Bay in March - help please!

Hi all - I'd appreciate some help. We are heading to Byron Bay in March for a family holiday. Looking for a three bedroom place close to town as we dont have a car. We have a toddler and a baby. Anyone stayed anywhere good recently? We are trying not to break the bank too much - there are some beautiful places out there for 3000 + but that is out of our range!!
Thanks in advance!
Posted 07 January 2013 - 09:52 PM
Good luck with that, BluesFest will be in town at the end of the month (Easter) and things book out up to a year ahead.
Further out of town, Lennox Head is lovely, and Alstonville cottages were nice.
Ooh just read you don't have a car, there may be buses from Ballina or Lennox?
Hopefully you mean early March and another EB'er can be a bit more helpful. Enjoy your holiday.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 10:47 AM
I'd stay out of town anyway. I find it pretty dingy for anything other than a passing visit.
What is it about Byron that you want to visit? There are many places in the surrounding areas that is much more family friendly.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 10:50 AM
Try Yamba, much more family friendly and cheaper. Or Lennox heads just down the road from Byron.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 04:16 PM
yikes! Not so much the response I was after.
I loved going to byron bay and staying in backpackers when i was younger (child and husband free!). Gorgeous beaches, buzzing environment, great cafes.... just has that holiday vibe! Going with a young family has thrown me as to where to stay, was hoping someone had been there recently to point me in the right direction. When I mean cheaper than 3000- i was thinking under $2000 for the week. Yep, we are going early march, am avoiding bluesfest. Got super cheap flights to ballina so figure we can deal with accommodation (reasonable) costs.
Any other thoughts? Thank you!!
Posted 08 January 2013 - 10:57 PM
I honestly have found Byron different now to when I used to visit as a carefree single. Sure, places change but in Byron town is t a place I'd chose to have a family holiday with my kids.
If I were you, I would factor in the cost of car hire and look for a rental out of town. We have stayed on Alcorn St in Suffolk park. It is a short drive to Byron township, is right on the beach (Tallow so not one I'd let my young kids swim in, but the beach is fun). These days, we go for houses further back in the hills with a pool and space to run. We get glorious views and can just visit the places we want to. Most of the good eateries are outside of the township anyway.
My real preference though, would be to stay at Peppers Kingscliffe. Just much easier with kids.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 11:04 PM
I really like Brunswick Heads, just north of Byron Bay, so you could easily drive to Byron Bay for day trips etc. BH is tiny, but that's the appeal for me.
Lennox Heads is also really lovely and not too far out of Byron.
Posted 09 January 2013 - 05:09 AM
There are buses from lennox to byron a few times a day.
I would avoid Byron Bay like the plague. It is a total hole.
How about this is lennox http://m.stayz.com.au/#propertyDetails/75072
It's right near the lake and the surf club so great for kids, also the bus stop to take trips to bangalow or byron is only 10 meters away. $1400 for the week.

Landon asks Shavonda if he can pull out all the little hairs in her armpit. Um, can she pull out yours? Why would he ask that? MJ agrees that it's disgusting. Well, I think the hair on his head is disgusting, but I don't ask if I can pull that out. Actually, I might if I met him. Shavonda squeals and whines and generally tries to call everyone's attention to the fact that two boys are paying attention to her. Karamo comments to Sarah that "those Wonder Twins disgust the hell out of [him]." Sarah says they're not so bad, but Karamo disagrees. Karamo adds that he doesn't think Shavonda gives enough attention to her culture. Because she doesn't hang out with him? I sort of get what Karamo was saying when he told Shavonda that she ignored her heritage, but what exactly should she be doing right now to honor her culture? Not let people see her armpit hair? Not tell the boys that they smell like vinegar? Which she just did. If Karamo just wants Shavonda to act more mature and less boy-crazy, that has nothing to do with race.
The roommates go on yet another small boat cruise and drink champagne. The boat drops anchor, and Landon and Sarah jump into the water. They try to convince Shavonda to join them. Shavonda interviews that she can't swim against currents or tides, and that big bodies of water scare her. Jesus. She's not swimming the English Channel. Just grab a life jacket and go, or don't, but stop standing on the deck and squealing and encouraging people to beg you to jump in. God, she's annoying. Karamo tells Shavonda that the Negroes have to get in the water. Everyone gives Shavonda lots of attention, which is what she wants. Shavonda interviews that she's trying to conquer her fears while she's in Fiji. The roommates all hold hands and jump into the water. Shavonda thanks everyone for helping her.
A storm comes up. Landon and Melanie dance in the rain. Karamo interviews that the weather is horrible, and that they need to get to land where it will be safe. In the dark, the roommates take a smaller boat to land. Willie thinks the whole thing is very exciting, due to the lightning and thunder.
Sarah wonders where Shavonda is, and Willie says that she's with the boys. Sarah thinks she's with Landon, and Karamo looks disapproving. Cut to Landon and Shavonda making out on the beach in the dark. Landon interviews that it's nice to share this romantic moment with Shavonda. They go into their lodge, and Landon comments that it looks like a honeymoon suite. They hop into a bed surrounded by mosquito netting, and we go to break.

Jim McDonnell, Police Chief, City of Long Beach
Our guest this morning is Chief Jim McDonnell of the Long Beach Police Department.
He has served as Chief of Police for the city of Long Beach, the second largest city in Los Angeles County, since March, 2010.
Chief McDonnell works with numerous non-profit organizations that focus on furthering the interests of youth. He was appointed to the U.S. Attorney General's National Task Force on Children Exposed to Violence and served in two U.S. Department of Justice National Executive Sessions: the National Executive Session on Law Enforcement & Public Health and the National Executive Session on Police Legitimacy and Racial Reconciliation.
He is dedicated to preventing crime at its roots rather than simply reacting to it. Under his leadership, violent crime in Long Beach is at an all-time low.
Chief McDonnell holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice from St. Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire and a Master's Degree in Public Administration from the University of Southern California.

West Palm Beach City Commissioner Shanon Materio
in Politics
Join your host Wes Blackman as he welcomes once again West Palm Beach Commissioner and Lake Worth small business owner Shanon Materio to the High Noon in Lake Worth studios. You might recall that Ms. Materio was appointed to fill former Commissioner Bill Moss' seat upon his unexpected death soon after re-election. Within a year, she had to run a campaign to keep her seat and successfully defeated her challenger. No challenger filed to run in this past March's West Palm Beach election, so Shanon is enjoying her first full, two-year term as Commissioner. She and her husband Phil own the award-winning McMow Art Glass studio on Dixie Hwy. in Lake Worth and live in the southend of West Palm Beach. Commissioner Materio is joining me to talk about potential improvements to the C-51 canal, (ultimately designed to make the canal navigable), the potential redevelopment of the Palm Coast Plaza property and what will happen to the vacant land which borders the north side of the canal across from the Arbor Plaza in Lake Worth. I am sure we will talk about city infrastructure, the Lake Worth 2020 ballot issue, All Aboard Florida and what West Palm Beach plans to do to fund its future infrastructure needs.

FINAL preparations for Rebel Salute scheduled for Richmond Estate, Priory in St Ann, this weekend, are well under way.
The annual, two-day music festival is now in its 21st year.
"Preparations are going well at the site. The stage is already up and all the amenities are already in place. Right now, the main challenge is getting everything in sync so that come Friday and Saturday night patrons can enjoy a well organised and hassle-free
festival," said Jahyuda Barrett, who helms the show's production.
Barrett, who is daughter of promoter/artiste Tony Rebel, told the Jamaica Observer that the festival's conversion to two days
was in response to a demand from the patrons.
"We were guided by the wishes of our patrons, and the research continues. Who knows, perhaps soon there will be an increase in the number of nights. A lot of people say the vibe of Rebel Salute reminds them of Reggae Sunsplash, and we just want to keep that going," said Barrett.
Promoter Tony Rebel is upbeat about this year's staging.
"It's always a good feeling. I always get excited as we head into the show ... just the enthusiasm on the streets and the artistes ... watching the rehearsals just gives a really good vibe," Tony Rebel told the Observer.
The Fresh Vegetable singer noted that among the artistes expected to perform, he is excited to see deejay-turned-reggae gospel act Stitchie.
"It's a long time we have not seen Stitchie on the local scene and I really want to see that energy that he will bring," he added.
Stichie, formerly Lt Stichie, carved a name for himself in dancehall circles during the 1980s and '90s with hits including Natty Dread and Wear Yuh Size. He, however, converted to gospel music after surviving a motor vehicle accident in 1997.
Other acts slated to perform over the two days include Bunny Wailer, Damian 'Junior Gong' Marley, Andrew Tosh, Terry Linen, Queen Ifrica, Fred Locks, Capelton and I-Wayne.

MERIDIAN, Mississippi --- Host Meridian made up a two-shot deficit to capture the weather-shortened Lou Hart Invitational Tuesday at Northwood Country Club.
Meridian shot a team total of 463, four
shots ahead of Gulf Coast (467). Jones and Northwest tied for third at 468,
followed by East Mississippi (482), Copiah-Lincoln (485), East Central (490),
Northeast (493), Hinds (495) and Itawamba (501).
All teams played 9 holes on Tuesday as freezing rain moved into the area. Northwest's Hayes Carr won the weather-shortened tournament with a 4-over-par total for 27 holes.
Meridian's Chase Taylor (plus-7) finished runner-up, followed by three Jones players: Zach Toney (plus-8), Corey Brown (plus-9) and Sawyer Taylor (plus-10). Northwest's Stuart Cochran and Gulf Coast's Conner Entriken (plus-10) joined those players on the All-tournament team.

NYT's bias is showing on Indian Point
The Grey Lady is Lying to you
On the off chance you thought the NY Times as the last bastion of respectable journalism, i have bad news. The NYT energy reporter Matt Wald, is just a step short for climate disruption denying. Hopefully they will at least print some of the corrections from NIRS.
Originally posted on GreenWorld:
Yesterday, the New York Times ran an article by longtime nuclear power reporter Matthew Wald titled Hearings on Water Permits for Indian Point.
NIRS' Executive Director Tim Judson found a lot to critique in this article, which bends over backwards to less-than subtly support Entergy's position on Indian Point. The entire article, with Tim's comments in brackets, italicized in green, is posted below. Further down, you'll find a brief report on the substance of the issues raised at the hearing.
Matt, your bias is showing…

Two Powerful Long Political Commercials
This is a lovely piece of corporate sponsored good citizenship modeling.
It is somewhat culturally inappropriate for the US in a number of ways. You don't poke a woman you don't know on the bus (though you could offer your seat if you felt moved). It is a guy always giving to somehow disempowered women.
And if we can see past these problems and get to the deeper message: generosity – particularly regular small generosity, is a highly desirable cultural attribute.
Curiously with almost 5 million Youtube views of this video, it points to a Thai language dominated and apparently uninteresting website.
On the most disturbing side there is this piece from Syria.
This Save the Children fundraiser has already exceeded it's $100K goal.
What are the implications of this improving philanthropic art video form? Are our hearts going to more regularly be tugged at or stomped on?
And it begs the question, with the accessible media of video, what are the viral short films we should be making to draw folks our way?

IEA "experts" not particularly expert
The SAfeEnergy.org blog once again pulls off another lovely piece of critical analysis. If you dont have time to read the whole thing (which is only a couple pages long, i will summarize my key take away points:
1) The extremely highly paid energy experts at the IEA (International Energy Agency) which is part of the OECD are responsible for many things – but especially for forecasting future energy demand and supply. Looking back at their forecasts for wind and solar from a decade ago, we find that they horrifically under estimated these trends. By a factor of 5. Greenpeace however, writing at about the same time, got it almost exactly right.
2) Nuclear promoters complain about renewable subsidies and tax breaks. But the very short tax breaks given wind and solar inspire little investor confidence, while nuclear has guaranteed tax breaks for 25 years. Demonstrating once again their hypocrisy.
But read the article, and subscribe to safeenergy.org = and excellent source.
Originally posted on GreenWorld:
The International Energy Agency (IEA) is composed of 29 countries, which are required to be members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The agency was founded in response to the oil crisis of 1973-74 "to help countries co-ordinate a collective response to major disruptions in oil supply through the release of emergency oil stocks to the markets," but has since expanded its mission "to ensure reliable, affordable and clean energy for its 29 member countries and beyond."
The IEA publishes the annual World Energy Outlook and purports to be the world's most expert and influential organization on energy issues, or, as the IEA itself puts it, "It is at the heart of global dialogue on energy, providing authoritative statistics, analysis and recommendations."
In short, you'd think they know what they're talking about.
Two items this week indicate they don't.

My Body Is Not a Problem
A call for a fitness company that celebrates the body, rather than markets thru shame. From the reliably good (and certainly more consistently grammatically correct) blog – disrupting dinner parties.

So I've been feeling sluggish and achey today, craving some of that juicy sweaty endorphin-y exercise goodness. Preferably involving some kind of dance, but I'm not terribly picky as long as it's not running or marathon crunches. And so I'm sitting at work, bored and fantasizing about moving my body to a thumping rock beat, and I notice an ad for a workout place – right by my work! Oh, how exciting! Click click click!
. . . Oooh. Hang on. The picture's kind of a red flag:
Creepily similar, perfectly coiffed women looking fierce-yet-feminine and *definitely not sweating* in their matching outfits? Not really my vibe, but I've heard it's a good workout, so I'll keep reading . . .

The Renewables Revolution tipping point
Mostly real progress is slow. It took decades to end slavery (which gave way to wage slavery in many places). It took longer to get even some of the most basic rights for women in this country. It took a decade of protest to end the Vietnam War. Decades for gay marriage. I am doubtful multi-partner marriages will be legalized in my lifetime.
Early in my clean energy campaigning career (the 1990s), a renewables expert explained that they preferred we not call it "alternative energy" because this was not our long term objective. And for decades we have heard "wind is not ready from prime time" or "solar is too expensive for utility scale application". But when someone says that to you these days, you should respond with the same incredulity you would if someone suggested we strip women of the right to vote. "Hey, have you been living under a rock?"
The triple meltdown at Fukushima hit the accelerator for clean energy solutions in a number of countries. Perhaps most dramatically in Germany, where parts of this shift have been underway for decades. If you stay closely on top of the German energy transition (called Energiewende) you will have no doubt heard that in the early stage after closing reactors after the Fukushima disaster the country was actually opening more coal fired power stations.
But as the bar chart above shows, the "Fukushima means more coal in Germany" story is old news. These distortions were caused in part by their being a number of incomplete high tech coal plants in the pipeline when Fukushima hit and distortions in the European carbon tariffs which (hopefully temporarily) were favoring coal. As the longer term graph above shows, unlike many countries, Germany is serious about reducing it's carbon footprint. Central to it's success is that more than half of the renewable investment in Germany in recent years has been from individuals (including farmers) rather than large utilities or governments.
Japan is arriving later to the party, but is still showing up in significant ways. Most recently there has been an explosion in the number of companies registering to sell electricity. These include Honda Motors, Panisonic, Softbank and some giant Japanese homebuilding companies. This is critical, because unlike Germany, Japan has 10 nuclear power utilities which have had a monopoly on electricity sales. The government for it's part has (like Germany did) created above market pricing for power which is generated from renewables. Even before the opening of the market, Japan has seen a surge in home/business electric generation for personal/industrial use. The Japanese court just handed anti-nuclear activists a rare victory in stopping the restart of 2 reactors.
Japan, unlike the US, does not have a single authority to restart it's currently closed 48 reactors. Even the newly restructured safety authority is telling the Abe administration that they need to check with local governments before restarting reactors, even if the safety authority says it is okay. Recently elected anti-nuclear provincial governor Taizo Mikazuki of Shiga prefecture on July 13th, indicates that the Abe governments plans to restart reactors are far from secure. The longer Japan continues to function will all of it's reactors off and without blackouts, the less plausible the utilities arguments are that they are completely necessary to run the country.
Germany has the solar profile of Alaska. Japan has very few conventional energy resources. Both countries are using tax structures, market mechanisms, feed in tariffs and public education campaigns to change the ways they produce energy. Germany is ahead of schedule to close all it's reactors by 2022. Japan currently has all its reactors closed. These were the number 3 and number 4 nuclear countries in the world (after the US and France).
It is far form a done deal, but the above graph shows an important trend. It is worth pointing out that at a 25% capacity factor, the installed wind power worldwide represents the equivalent of 35 full size reactors – which is still a long way for replacing the almost 400 operating reactors worldwide, but if you compare it to 6 reactor equivalents in place in 2009, you can see that this real progress in energy is moving right along.
The Propaganda is too Simple
This showed up on the internet the other day and deserves a solid D for it's propaganda value. Let's deconstruct for a moment.
Starting at the top. A bit of internet investigation finds that this $178 billion number comes from the US Census Bureau calculates domestic poverty, calculated based on the total number of people who are below the poverty line and by how much. [This is from 9.5 million families and 12.6 million individuals being below the government defined poverty level.]
What is interesting is the federal and state programs designed to elevate poverty actually far exceed this "poverty gap", coming in at $830 billion (in 2012).
So as an anarchist I am not going to spend a lot of time on the reasons why the government is not a good solution for programs which alleviate poverty and not good value for money.
Under the current system we will never buy our way out of poverty. Not because it is beyond our capacity, but rather it is not really our leaders (both business and political) desire. Poverty has a function.
The Marxist make three arguments for the utility of poverty to capitalism:
- Temporary, dead-end, dirty, dangerous and menial jobs are undertaken by the poor
- It creates jobs for the middle class including policy makers, probation officers, social workers, psychiatrists, doctors and civil servants.
- Poverty helps to guarantee the status of those who are not poor – "The defenders of the desirability of hard work, thrift, honesty and monogamy need people who can be accused of being lazy, spendthrift, dishonest and promiscuous to justify these norms."
My analysis is a bit different.
Poverty is hole in the safety net. It is capitalisms long lever in negotiations with unions. It is the economic gravity which pulls down the minimum wage. If there were not poverty in this country, boards should be firing their CEOs because they are not doing their job of maximizing shareholders profits.
Similarly, on the military side – this spending is not designed to solve any domestic problem, so elected (and often bought off) politicians will not move money which is designed to maintain US control of foreign places away from military spending to do anything domestic. A significant reason for the large US military budget is to insure that cheap foreign labor is available for US based multinational corporations.
To summarize: Government anti-poverty programs don't work. Poverty is a necessary and structural component of the current flavor of industrial capitalism we have. The US maintains a tremendous military to insure it's imperial foreign policy objectives and thus will not cut it for domestic income redistribution.
The math is not simple and this propaganda is too simplistic.
Advise to Catalyst Community
Unpredictably, one of the most important successes of the Point A project has been helping to spark the Catalyst Community project. This was not expected, because Catalyst is outside of the 5 boroughs of NYC (Point A is focused on starting and supporting communities inside the city limits). None-the-less at the first Brooklyn, Teagan from Catalyst came and presented and a number of people were interested in the project and what had been a great idea took off.
Now less than 6 months later they are gathering and looking seriously at buying land, cottage industries and designing eco-friendly residences which foster a sense of being together. Today they had a retreat and I was flattered to be asked for my advise to this starting community. This is what I said:
Ann Coulter and Conversations which Don't Matter
Ann Coulter is an attention-seeking sociopath who is determined to drag society back to the days when (white) men were men and women were property, also known as a conservative political commentator. She tends to say things that get people upset and get her media attention.
Recently, she has been targeting soccer, in time for the US participation in the World Cup with gems like:
"Any growing interest is soccer is a sign of the nation's moral decline"
"No American who's great-grandfather was born here is watching soccer."
"In soccer, all the blame is dispersed and almost no one scores anyway. There are no heroes, no losers, no accountability, and no child's fragile self esteem is bruised. There is a reason perpetually alarmed women are called "soccer moms" and not "football moms."
Let's deconstruct this a bit. "Moral decline" – this is simply inflammatory and has no substantive logical underpinning. Politicians, clergy, and pearl-clutchers everywhere have been lamenting the moral decline of society for hundreds (even thousands) of years. It's a vague phrase designed to get people upset and apparently it works.
No great grand sons watching soccer? Well besides it being obvious untrue (I watch a bit, and all 4 of my great grand father were born in the US) it is also racist, or at the very least ugly nationalist.
But it is the last paragraph which is especially interesting to me. The idea that without individual heroes and losers a game is of no value. (For the sake of debate I'll ignore the fact that football is a team sport in which players with vastly different skill sets, such as linebackers and quarterbacks, work cooperatively to reach a common goal.) I don't need to waste time on the fact that soccer is filled with heroes and losers, this is just more Coulter nonsense. Coulter simply makes up the sexist definition of soccer mom to suit her purposes. What is important about what she is saying is that cooperative ventures don't matter. The individual is the source of all greatness.
Presumably some people who read Ann Coulter agree with her. I don't think it is possible to be a syndicated columnist and a highly paid public speaker if everyone disagrees with you and dislikes you. We know that some significant number of US American's are racist and sexist and Coulter plays to these interests.
But what is more true about Coulter than perhaps anyone with as high a profile in the popular media today, is that she is safe to ignore. As a couple of web magazines have identified, this is simply a trolling piece. She should be treated like the Colbert Show, where far right views are just refreshingly preposterous.

Duke Energy embraces dirty energy–and the right wing
The nuclear PR machine pretends it like solar power, but really is doing what it can undermine it.
Originally posted on GreenWorld:
Former Duke Energy CEO Jim Rogers talks a good game. He believes climate change is a real threat. He talks about the need for utilities to get on board with distributed generation and renewable energy and to begin now to change their business models to reflect those technologies.
Here's a sample quote from a long article about Rogers and Duke's future: "When you see technologies evolving that challenge your business model, you need to embrace them. You don't want the utility industry to have a Kodak moment," Rogers said. "You know, Kodak developed digital, but they couldn't move away from their traditional way because it was their core business. The utility industry should embrace distributed generation, they actually should invest in distributed generation and be a competitor with everyone else."
Sounds good. But in seven years as Duke's CEO, Rogers didn't succeed in changing much at the company. Just…

The relationship between the causal agent of SDS, SCN
Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN) is an economically important pest of soybean in Wisconsin. It was first discovered in the southeastern part of the state in 1981 and now is found in over 90 percent of the state's soybean acres. It is caused by the soybean cyst nematode, a non-segmented roundworm that inhabits the soil. More recently, another economically important disease of soybean, Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS), was first found in southeastern Wisconsin in 2006. A fungus found in the soil called Fusarium virguliforme is the causal agent of SDS.
Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN): In high-yielding fields or during years when soil moisture is plentiful, profoundly visible symptoms of SCN are rarely seen. Subtle symptoms include uneven plant height, a delay in canopy closure, or early maturity. Severely infected plants appear stunted with yellow foliage, and canopy closure may be delayed or not occur in affected areas. Management of SCN should begin by sampling soil to confirm the presence of the nematode. For a detailed description about sampling for SCN in WI, see the pamphlet titled Soybean Cyst Nematode Sampling and Testing in Wisconsin. Additional management should also include an integrated plan where crop rotation and resistant cultivars are be used. Rotating to non-hosts of SCN can help reduce SCN populations in soil. Cultivars resistant to SCN should be planted when numbers of SCN are above suggested thresholds, and sources of resistance (e.g. Peking vs. PI 88788) should be alternated in fields with high populations. When SCN numbers are below threshold, rotating with resistant and susceptible varieties can slow the increase in populations of SCN that can overcome common types of resistance available in commercial soybean cultivars. Cultural practices such as managing weeds, providing adequate fertility, amending soil pH to at least 6.5, and improving soil moisture through tillage and supplemental irrigation can reduce plant stress and help plants deal with SCN populations.
Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS): Symptoms of sudden death syndrome are expressed as yellowing and necrosis between the veins of leaflets. Veins of symptomatic leaves will remain green. Leaflets will eventually curl or shrivel and drop off with only the petiole remaining. Management of SDS includes a combination of strategies. Most importantly, SDS-resistant cultivars should be chosen whenever possible. If SDS and SCN are both problems in a field, choosing a variety with the best resistance/tolerance to both will be beneficial. Planting into cool, wet soils typically seen early in the season can favor infection by the SDS fungus. Delaying planting can reduce the risk of infection, but remember that yield loss will occur from delaying planting too long. Improving soil drainage and reducing compaction can help reduce levels of SDS. Crop rotation can be useful to manage other diseases of soybean; however, research has demonstrated that crop rotation does not significantly reduce levels of the SDS fungus in the soil. Even after several years of planting corn in a field, the SDS fungus can survive on corn plants and corn kernels can harbor the pathogen. In addition, the SDS fungus can survive in soil for long periods of time as specialized, thick-walled spores. For more information about SDS, consult the Wisconsin Farm Fact Sheet XGT1015 titled Sudden Death Syndrome of Soybean.

Interacting with blue-green algae in area waters poses health risks
Here's what you need to know about blue-green algae, also called cyanobacteria, that has been reported in the St. Lucie Estuary and the Indian River Lagoon:
Some species produce toxins that can make humans and animals sick, causing stomach and intestinal illness, respiratory distress, allergic reactions, skin irritations, liver damage and neurotoxic reactions.
Swallowing even small amounts of toxin can result in flu-like symptoms including nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. In large amounts, toxins can damage the liver, kidneys and the nervous system.
Swimming or wading in a bloom can result in skin irritation, hives, blisters and rashes.
Inhaling toxins can result in hay fever-like symptoms such as itchy eyes, sore throat and congestion.
Because of their size, children and pets are at greater risk for poisoning.
If you or your pet is exposed to toxins, rinse immediately and thoroughly with fresh water and soap.
To report illness from exposure, call the Florida Poison Information Center at 800-222-1222.

Nasrallah Backs Down

Showing posts for "Lebanon"
On July 2, the Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah had this to say about the UN's Special tribunal on Lebanon, which is investigating the murder of former prime minister Rafik Hariri: Read more »
The turmoil in Syria has left Lebanon's own political situation completely in flux. Months ago, Hezbollah arranged for Najib Mikati to become prime minister. Mikati is a Sunni, as Lebanon's constitution requires, but he was not the true representative of the country's Sunni community. That man was Saad Hariri, forced out of the government by Hezbollah and its allies.
But the new arrangement, finally consummated today with a vote of confidence for Mikati in Lebanon's parliament, is dead before it starts. It reflects the old balance of power, when Hezbollah's ally Bashar al-Assad was fully in charge in Syria. Today the Assad regime is foundering, and its influence in Lebanon will continue to diminish as players make their own new bets about life in Lebanon after the Assads are gone from Syria.
The best way to understand events in Lebanon is to read the columns of Michael Young, opinion editor of the English-language Daily Star newspaper of Beirut. Young's most recent column is reprinted below, for as always he provides insight and clarity. Read more »
On April 6, Hamas terrorists fired a Russian Kornet laser-guided missile at a school bus in southern Israel. How did Hamas get such a missile?
It turns out that Russia does not license others to produce this missile; every single Kornet is manufactured in Russia at the KBP factory. The KBP web site helpfully touts all the wonderful qualities of this weapon.
So how did Hamas get its hands on the Kornet it used to try to kill dozens of Israeli schoolchildren? Syria is the obvious guess, as Russia sells Kornets to Syria and Syria maintains close relations with Hamas and Hezbollah. The United States has previously sanctioned the KBP plant for providing missiles to Syria that then reached Hezbollah, as this Israeli news item notes. The only thing we don't know is whether it was Hezbollah or Syria who turned Kornets over to Hamas.
The ultimate culprit remains Russia, which is selling Syria missiles that it has every reason to know will be given to terrorist groups. Russia is of course a member of the Middle East Quartet, whose goal is supposed to be peace—not arms supplies to terrorists. If the scheduled Quartet meeting takes place this Friday, April 15, Sec. Clinton should lead off by telling Russia Foreign Minister Lavrov that this must stop. A discussion of how Russian arms get to terrorists who murder Israelis would be a great deal more useful than hours of debate over what tactics to use in the United Nations.
On Saturday the Arab League unanimously called for a no-fly zone over Libya, adding its voice to that of the Gulf Cooperation Council.
The no-fly zone will have to come soon unless it will serve mostly to protect the corpses of Libyan opposition fighters. In the last few days, Gaddafi's forces have reversed the earlier opposition momentum and are using their superior fire power, including air power, to wipe out opposition gains. Unless stopped, in the coming weeks they will wipe out the opposition.
This situation calls for actions that display American leadership, but the president appears to believe that his words have an almost magical power. He has called for Gaddafi to leave; isn't that enough? "We are slowly tightening the noose," the president said on March 11, despite all evidence to the contrary. Actual leadership has been avoided and Secretary Clinton has in fact said we wish to avoid it. "I think it's very important that this not be a U.S.-led effort," she explained on March 9th.
What explains this gap between Gaddafi gains on the ground, and the administration's continuing inaction and claims of progress?
Here is a link to the testimony I gave on February 9 to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs on developments in the Middle East. When a video link is available, I will add it.
The influence of the United States in the Middle East is declining while that of Iran is rising. That's the meaning of events in Lebanon, where Hezbollah has in essence thrown Prime Minister Saad Hariri from office and is about to choose his successor. Under Lebanon's constitution, the prime minister must be a Sunni. But Najib Mikati, the Hezbollah designee, is a Sunni who will owe his office not to support in the Sunni community but to Hezbollah's decision to make him PM. Hezbollah now has the votes in parliament to put him in, and of course to throw him out should he cross them.
Mikati will be a competent official; he's a talented man and a hugely successful businessman. That's not the point. He has close ties to Syria and Hezbollah, and it is clear which side is in power in Lebanon.
Newspapers today are reporting that Hezbollah-backed members of parliament have withdrawn from the Lebanese government, effectively bringing down the coalition led by Prime Minister Saad Hariri.
In 2005 the leading citizen of Lebanon, former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, was murdered by a gigantic car bomb that killed 22 other people as well. An international commission was established to investigate the murder, and is soon to report its findings. By all accounts it will accuse Hezbollah of being at least partly responsible. Hezbollah is demanding that the Government of Lebanon reject the findings, a particularly poignant demand for the current Prime Minister, Saad Hariri, as it was his father who was assassinated in 2005.

John Skelton will start at QB for Cardinals at Seattle
Just a week after Ken Whisenhunt stayed with rookie quarterback Ryan Lindley in a rough performance against the New York Jets, the Arizona Cardinals head coach is swapping signal callers once again. Third-year pro John Skelton will start Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks at Century Link Field.
Arizona Sports' Kyndra de St. Aubin tweeted out the news:
Whiz says Skelton will start Sunday— Kyndra de St. Aubin (@Kyndra620) December 5, 2012
Skelton hasn't played since being replaced by Lindley in the first half of a loss at Atlanta November 18. The Fordham product, who won the starting job in training camp, has started five games this season, completing 98-of-179 passes for 1,058 yards with two touchdown passes and five interceptions.
"There's a number of reasons that go into it, but John is going to start for us this week up in Seattle, and we'll go from there," Whisenhunt said.
The head coach was vague about the reasons why he's switching back to Skelton.
"Some of it has to do with Seattle -- playing up there, having played against them once already this year," he said. "There are a lot of factors, but I'm not going into each one of them."
Skelton suffered an ankle injury in the season opener against Seattle at University of Phoenix Stadium and didn't see the field again until Week 6 against Buffalo when Kevin Kolb suffered a rib injury.
Skelton started the next four games before being replaced by Lindley.
"It's another opportunity, you can't take any opportunity for granted if it comes at the beginning of the season, the end of the season, whether you're losing or when you're winning, you just have to take advantage of every opportunity you get," Skelton said after practice Wednesday.

A section of Raleigh's busy Glenwood district was closed off for a time Sunday afternoon after reports of a suspicious package.
The incident focused in the 400 block of Glenwood, around the intersection of Tucker and Glenwood when a passerby reported seeing a grenade on a bench.
Traffic was closed off for about an hour before the Raleigh bomb squad determined the grenade was a fake.
