Salt Lake City, Utah
The Cytotechnologist Members Business Meeting was held on Thursday, November 7, 2002, during the ASC 50th Annual Scientific Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Lausanne Wiatrowski, CT (ASCP), Chair of the Cytotechnologist Advisory Committee called the meeting to order at 6:15 p.m. MST. An informal head count revealed 72 members in attendance. Copies of the Cytotechnologist Business Meeting Minutes from the 2001 ASC meeting were distributed for review. These minutes were approved with the following two revisions:
• The total amount of money collected from the Art reception was $7,540.
• Cindy Steele is from Syracuse, NY.
Following the approval of the minutes with noted revisions, the meeting was conducted.
Ms. Wiatrowski introduced the CAC members:
Lausanne Wiatrowski, CT (ASCP), San Antonio, Texas, Out-going CAC Chair
Cindy Steele, SCT (ASCP) (IAC), Syracuse, New York, In-coming CAC Chair
Jennifer Clark, CT (ASCP), Indianapolis, Indiana, CAC Chair-elect
E. Blair Holladay, Ph.D., CT (ASCP), Charleston, South Carolina
Ursula Bedrossian, Ph.D., CT (ASCP), Oak Park, Illinois
Patricia Prokorym, CT (ASCP), (IAC), Columbus, Ohio
Jean Taylor, Ms.Ed., SCT (ASCP), Albany, New York

Judith Connor, CT (ASCP), Binghamton, New York, Out-going member
Sally Beth Buckner reported on the First Time CT Gathering that was held Wednesday, November 6, 2002 at 7:00 am for all first-time cytotechnologist attendees to the ASC Annual Scientific Meeting. It is hoped that this gathering will encourage participants to become ASC members and to be active in the Society. It will be recommended to the ASC Executive Board that this event be continued for future meetings to welcome first time attendees and give them an opportunity to get to know other attendees.
Nancy Smith, Chair of the Task Force for Cytotechnology Education, spoke about the "Career Satisfaction Survey for Cytotechnologists." The Task Force will present three proposals to the Executive Board (EB) of the ASC that developed from the work of the task force this past year:
• To establish an ad hoc committee, the Cytotechnology Professional and Educational Advisory Committee (CPEAC), based on the work of the task force during the past year.
• To endorse the proposal that the ASC adopt mandatory continuing education requirements for cytotechnologists – there is already a proposal for mandatory CE for all cytotechnologists. If the EB supports this endorsement, it will be presented to the membership of ASC and then to other organizations for approval to expand the circle of support for accrediting agencies to incorporate. This is important in the context in which we work today to ensure that cytotechnologists are getting the CE they need to survive in today's changing climate.
• To establish Centers for Excellence. Schools do not have access to what they may need for the future for long distance learning. Sites that are able and willing to provide educational opportunities need to be established and supported by the ASC.
Jennifer Clark presented information on what the ASC Web site has to offer. The On-line Cytology Community has recently been developed for state and regional organizations to use for their members and will be available soon as part of the ASC Web site for state and regional organizations to post their meeting information, newsletters, officers, links to resources and other information for their memberships. The ASC will provide this Web site development, in addition to two annual updates and web hosting. The estimated annual fee for this service will be a $200.00.
Ms. Clark worked with the ASCT, along with Karen Allen, and also under the direction of the ASC President, Dr. Diane Davey to write a Web site for the Health Professions Network promoting cytotechnology as the health profession of the month. This site also includes links to the ASC and ASCT. Please visit this site: http://www.healthpronet.org/
Dr. Kurtycz presented an update of the activities of the Web Site Editorial Committee. The ASC On-line Cytology Community will be a good resource to bring cytology organizations together. Dr. Wilbur will be involved in promoting the use of the Internet in educational activities provided by the ASC. Portions of this meeting and other educational events will be listed on the ASC Web site, including streaming video and Power Point presentations that can be downloaded. A case of the month was recently started on the Web site. People are encouraged to submit cases and digitized images for this feature. There will be a subsection for companies to advertise on the ASC Web site. Please visit the Web site!
Nodee McNeal shared information about the ASC membership drive. At this annual meeting, we have received a record 35 applications for upgrades to voting cytotechnologist membership. We also received five new cytotechnologist membership applications.
Ms. Wiatrowski yielded the floor to Cindy Steele, incoming Chair for the Cytotechnology Advisory Committee for 2003.
Ms. Steele encouraged the CT members to call or email her if they have any comments, questions or concerns that they would like to relay to the CAC members, as this is the committee that works for them.
What's New for 2003?
There will be two program submissions from the CAC for the upcoming ASC Annual Scientific Meeting in Orlando, Florida, November 2003. CAC members are collaborating with the Education Forum to develop a panel luncheon entitled, "Implementing Continuing Education in the Workplace." The second program the CAC members are planning to develop is a wet workshop on molecular diagnostics and how to implement this in the laboratory. The CAC members recognize the importance of providing continuing educational opportunities that will broaden the current scope of practice for cytotechnologists.
Dr. Ursula Bedrossian is currently working on a series of articles related to interviews with cytotechnologists across the nation. These articles will explore the issues that are important to cytotechnologists and what motivates them.
During this ASC meeting many of us have taken the opportunity to consider what is really important in cytopathology as a profession and what the future has in store for cytotechnologists. We plan to have a "Point: Counterpoint" type of format to discuss the issues that potentially affect cytotechnologists. The CAC members would like the cytotechnologist members to consider what topics they are concerned with or passionate about and to relay them to the CAC members for future discussion.
One of the goals of the CAC for this year will be to conduct a self-assessment to determine the effectiveness of the CAC in serving the ASC constituents. Both past contributions and the future goals of the CAC will be considered.
The CAC members would like to establish a threaded discussion on the Web site to provide the cytotechnologist members an avenue of direct communication with the CAC members. We plan to have the individual CAC members' e-mail addresses posted for cytotechnologists to voice their opinions, concerns and questions.
There was open discussion. No further comments were offered from the floor.
The CAC gratefully acknowledges the generous contributions of the following contributors for the gifts provided for the lucky winners of door prizes:
• The American Society of Cytopathology
• The American Society for Cytotechnologists
• The American Cancer Society
Cindy Steele, Chair of the Cytotechnologist Advisory Committee, adjourned the meeting at 7:12 p.m. The next Cytotechnologist Members Business Meeting will take place at the ASC Annual Scientific Meeting in Orlando, Florida on November 11, 2003.
Respectfully submitted, Cindy Steele, SCT (ASCP) (IAC), CAC Chair
Editor's Note: The minutes of the Cytotechnologist Business Meeting have been summarized due to space constraints in this issue of the Bulletin. The minutes will be distributed in their entirety at the Cytotechnologist Business Meeting during the Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida.

Just saying... such a great feeling. One of the best decisions I've made, as a husband and father of 3 I can't express how much I appreciate the ability to do so.
Sitting here waiting for family to show up for my daughters birthday party with my PM9 in my Silent Thunder, all is quiet and well... just a part of my life like putting on underwear, only it doesn't change every 5 days.
Thanks founding fathers, thanks America, and thanks for those who stand up for our rights and support them.
It's another great day in Minnesota.
So easy to get caught up in what gun, what holster, what method of carry, tight groups, etc... just taking a drama free moment to really appreciate this great right that we have.
Now - Bring on the cake and ice cream!

Pirates, Indians and Rangers win big games
UNDATED (AP) — The Pittsburgh Pirates used the long ball to wrap up home field for Tuesday's wild-card playoff game against the Reds.
Neil Walker slammed two of the Pirates' six home runs in an 8-3 victory over Cincinnati. Bronson Arroyo served up a career-high five of those home runs as the Reds suffered their fourth consecutive loss to earn themselves a trip to Pittsburgh.
Andrew McCutchen, Marlon Byrd and Pedro Alvarez also went deep before Andrew Lambo smacked his first career homer.
Pittsburgh's bullpen tossed hitless ball for the final 4 2/3 innings to wrap up the Bucs' 93rd win.
While the NL wild card is settled, there's still the possibility of a three-way tie for the two AL wild-card berth. Cleveland has surged into sole possession of the first wild-card berth with one day left in the regular season, one game ahead of Tampa Bay and Texas.
The Indians picked up their ninth straight win as Scott Kazmir allowed a run and six hits in six innings of a 5-1 triumph at Minnesota. Carlos Santana hit a two-run homer and Michael Bourn added a two-run triple for the red-hot Indians.
The Rays suffered their second straight loss since a seven-game winning to lose control of their postseason destiny. Ryan Goins and Kevin Pillar banged out two-run homers as Toronto downed Tampa Bay 7-2. Adam Lind had two hits and three RBIs, and Brett Lawrie reached base four times for the Blue Jays.
The Rangers pulled even with the Rays by earning their sixth consecutive win, downing the Angels 7-4. The Rangers took advantage of five Los Angeles errors, scoring three unearned runs while collecting just three RBIs. The Texas bullpen tossed one-hit ball over 4 1/3 scoreless innings.
Elsewhere in the majors, Matt Holliday hit a two-run homer and Yadier Molina (YAH'-dee-ehr) had two RBIs as St. Louis notched its fifth straight win, 6-2 against the Chicago Cubs. Adam Wainwright picked up his 19th win by holding the Cubbies to two hits in 5 1/3 shutout innings.
Brad Miller's second homer of the day was a grand slam that put Seattle ahead 7-1 in the fifth inning of a 7-5 win against Oakland. Justin Smoak socked a two-run homer for the Mariners, who allowed the Red Sox to clinch home-field advantage throughout their postseason. The Athletics will take on Detroit in the AL division series, beginning Friday in Oakland.
Homers by Jedd Gyorko (JUR'-koh), Jesus Guzman (GOOZ'-mahn) and Chris Denorfia highlighted San Diego's 9-3 rout of San Francisco. Guzman and Tommy Medica each had three of the Padres' 16 hits.
Carlos Gomez and Yuniesky (yoo-NEHS'-kee) Betancourt hit RBI singles in the 10th inning to give Milwaukee a 4-2 win over the New York Mets. Gomez was 4-for-5 with a solo homer and two stolen bases against his former team.
Rivera says he won't play again
HOUSTON (AP) — New York Yankees closer says he won't pitch again or play the outfield before he retires on Sunday.
Rivera last pitched on Thursday night in the season finale at Yankee Stadium, making a tearful exit to a standing ovation. He had expressed interest in playing center field earlier this week but now says he didn't think his knee was up to it.
Pence agrees to deal
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Hunter Pence and the San Francisco Giants have tentatively agreed to a five-year contract. The package is worth a reported $90 million and is expected to be formally announced on Sunday.
Pence is hitting.282 with a career-high 27 home runs and 96 RBIs this season. The two-time All-Star outfielder came to the Giants in a trade last season and was credited with being instrumental in helping San Francisco win its second World Series title in three years.
Report: Collins working on new deal
NEW YORK (AP) — It looks like Terry Collins will remain manager of the Mets. Three people with knowledge of the situation tell The Associated Press that Collins is close to an agreement with the ballclub. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been finalized and no announcement had been made. Collins' current contract expires after this season, his third in charge of the Mets.
The 64-year-old Collins is 224-261 as manager of the Mets.
Cowboys lose on the road...Bulldogs, Sooners win top-25 matchups
UNDATED (AP) — Eleventh-ranked Oklahoma State can expect to fall in Sunday's Associated Press college football poll. The Cowboys were 3-0 until they allowed 13 points off four turnovers and lost 30-21 at West Virginia.
Clint Trickett was 24 of 50 for 309 yards and a touchdown in his first start for the Mountaineers. Ishmael Banks returned an interception 58 yards for a touchdown as the Mountaineers bounced back from their first shutout loss in 11 years.
Georgia and Oklahoma won top-25 matchups.
The ninth-ranked Bulldogs beat No. 6 LSU 44-41 on Aaron Murray's 25-yard scoring strike to Justin Scott-Wesley with 1:47 remaining. Murray also ran for a touchdown and finished with 298 passing yards and four TDs in Georgia's second victory over a top-10 team.
The 14th-ranked Sooners turned three interceptions into touchdowns and beat No. 22 Notre Dame 35-21. Corey Nelson returned a pick for a 24-yard TD, Damien Williams added an 11-yard scoring run after an interception by linebacker Frank Shannon, and Blake Bell threw a 26-yard TD pass to Lacoltan Bester following a Julian Wilson interception.
Also in top-25 action, Tajh Boyd threw for three TDs and ran for another as third-ranked Clemson blew out Wake Forest 56-7. Boyd became the second ACC quarterback to account for 100 career touchdowns, joining Philip Rivers of N.C. State.
Mike Davis ran for 167 yards and three touchdowns as 12th-rated South Carolina held off Central Florida 28-25. The Gamecocks won despite trailing 10-0 at halftime, turning the ball over four times and playing the final three quarters without starting quarterback Connor Shaw due to a sprained right shoulder. Coach Steve Spurrier says he hopes Shaw will return in two weeks.
No. 15 Miami rolled to a 49-21 win against South Florida as Stephen Morris threw for 222 yards and a pair of first-quarter touchdowns. The Hurricanes scored on their first three possessions and had 251 yards by the end of the first period.
Jameis Winston threw for 330 yards and four touchdowns as eighth-ranked Florida State outscored Boston College 48-34. Winston also ran 14 times for 67 yards to help the Seminoles improve to 4-0.
Heat promote Elisburg, hire Howard
MIAMI (AP) — The Miami Heat have promoted Andy Elisburg to general manager and hired Juwan Howard as an assistant coach.
Elisburg has been with the Heat since the team's 1988 inception.
Letang out
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang (leh-TANG') is out indefinitely with what head coach Dan Bylsma (BYLZ'-mah) calls a lower-body injury. Letang was a Norris Trophy finalist last season before signing an eight-year contract extension over the summer.
Bissonnette's suspension reduced
NEW YORK (AP) — The NHL has reduced Paul Bissonette's suspension two three regular-season games following an appeal by the Phoenix Coyotes forward.
The league initially slapped him with an automatic 10-game suspension for leaving the bench and engaging in a fight. However, video evidence supported Bissonette's claim that he took the ice legally to substitute for Max Domi (DOH'-mee).
Cochran takes the lead
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Tom Lehman birdied his final hole to take the clubhouse lead in second-round action at the First Tee Open at Pebble Beach. Lehman has carded back-to-back 67s for a 10-under total, one shot ahead of Russ Cochran.
First-round leader Bernhard Langer was on the course at minus-8 with five holes to play.

Glass Blower |
Description Glass is incredible, when you think about it. That delicate vase sitting in the lobby of a hotel, or those elegant wine glasses your mother pulls out only for holidays, those used to be sand. Certain types of sand have high levels of silica in them, and when it is heated, the silica sand melts, and becomes the liquid substance that will cool, harden, and become glass. So how does the hot liquid glass turn into that delicate vase? A glass blower melts the sand, and picks up the hot gooey liquid with a long tube. By blowing through the tube, the glass begins to expand, like a balloon or bubblegum. As the glass expands the glass blower can manipulate it into shapes using metal rods or by forming it with molds. The work is hot, hard, and must be done quickly, within a few minutes, as the glass hardens almost immediately. Glass blowers therefore must have thought up a careful plan beforehand, and be ready to start work once the liquid glass is ready to go. They must be creative problem solvers, who are ready for any sort of challenge. Once the shape has been formed, the hardened glass is polished, and is ready for sale or display.This technique has remained essentially the same for hundreds of years. Glass blowing is not an easy skill to master, nor is it easy to work at it full-time. While some glass blowers work on their own projects in a studio alone or with other artists, many have to work for large production studios, blowing glass designed by others. If they are lucky, they may advance to design positions, or be asked to create a few handcrafted, original pieces to be sold as collectibles and keepsakes. Glass blowing is hot, hard work. But it is a truly traditional, cherished art form that has been gaining popularity over the past few years. Glass blowers are special, rare artists, who create amazingly beautiful objects for the rest of us to use and admire in our homes, in shops, and in galleries, all around the world. |

Ten Miami Gay Guys You've Probably Dated
4. Mr. Drag Race Hopeful Flickr.com/ EricTriou
There are only a few people who should be called queen: Beyoncé, Madonna, Cher. According to your new boo, he belongs on that list too. You know you like men, but for some reason his wearing of wedges, women's jeans, and more makeup than Kim Kardashian gets you all hot and bothered.
In a weird way, Mr. Hopeful is kind of a simple being. Though he loves extravagance, all he needs is Forever 21, a full-length mirror, and a stage to be happy in this world. He is the simplest yet most complicated person you have ever met. Let's just put it this way: You are dating RuPaul, but with a fraction of the money.
Speaking of money, he might need to borrow some. Unless he wins Miss'd America, you can expect to meet Max. (Max is the limit on your credit card. With Mr. Hopeful's love for wigs, you two are sure to cross paths.)
3. Mr. Circuit Party
White Party, Muscle Beach, Miami Beach Gay Pride -- the list of parties on this man's social calendar could go on for days. If there is one thing this man loves, it's dancing -- well, dancing, taking off his shirt, dropping some casual drugs; you know the drill. Nothing gets his blood pumping like EDM; a gaggle of sweaty, shirtless men; and a circuit party.
Let's face it: Mr. Circuit Party is the Miley Cyrus of your life. You've never had more fun with anyone, ever. If he isn't twerking at a major event, he's texting his whole address book and searching the listings looking for a place to go. But when he blacks out, causes a scene, and gets thrown out by an oh-so-scary Score bouncer, you're gonna want to run Forrest Gump-style.

BSA provides Cub Scout Pack meeting plans for each month's core value. The core value for the month of February is Resourcefulness. A February supplemental meeting plan theme called Turn Back the Clock has recently been posted to the BSA website. For more ideas for use with this theme, see my Turn Back the Clock Program Theme for Cub Scouts page.
The core value should still be the focus for the month, but the new theme based Pack meetings provide a new ways to present the ideas. Here is how the BSA plan suggests tying together this history based theme with February's core value of Resourcefulness.
When you look back in time, it is easy to find many examples of resourcefulness, using human and other resources to their fullest. Whether it is the Ice Age, the Wild West, the Space Age, or the 1950s, each time period had people with goals who used the resources available to them to make their lives better.
Since this is the February theme, it assumes that your Pack meeting will be your annual Pack Blue and Gold banquet.
This meeting plan includes the following – all within a resourcefulness theme. See the meeting plan for details.
- Gathering activities – A word search which can also double as a place mat
- Opening ceremony – Resourcefulness
- A prayer for your banquet
- Song – We Are a Cub Scout Pack (To the tune of Hickory Dickory Dock)
- Ideas for den skits
- Audience participation – putting together phrases to make up a story, a little bit like Mad Libs
- A Turn Back the Clock recognition ceremony
- A Resourcefulness Cubmaster Minute
- A simple closing ceremony

March 28, 2011 Baseball: Lane, NWF State too much for Gulf Coast NEWS HERALD (By Adam Rosenberg ) - NICEVILLE — The gaggle of scouts sitting behind home plate at Northwest Florida State College on Monday probably left the ballpark with plenty of good things to write down in their notebooks about Raider starting pitcher Matt Lane. Lane continued his dominant sophomore year by baffling Gulf Coast Community College, as he gave up just one unearned run in eight innings of work to lead the No. 10 Raiders to an 8-1 victory in their series opener with the Commodores. With the win, the Raiders (27-8, 7-3) maintain a share of first place in the Panhandle Conference with Chipola, which defeated Pensacola State 18-14 on Monday. Full Story
March 26, 2011 Baseball: GC's slide in Panhandle reaches five games NEWS HERALD (By Brad Milner ) - PANAMA CITY — There was a point last season when the Gulf Coast baseball team resorted to not washing its uniforms to turn around a losing feeling and create a prolonged period of winning and success. The Commodores may need to find a similar remedy this season and soon. Pensacola State rallied for a 4-3 win over GC on Saturday at Bill Frazier Field to sweep a three-game Panhandle Conference series. It was the Commodores' fourth straight loss overall, and second by one run against the Pirates, and they dropped their fifth game in a row in conference play after starting 4-0. Full Story
March 25, 2011 Baseball: PSC hands GC fourth straight conference loss NEWS HERALD (By Brad Milner ) - PENSACOLA — Nick Miller couldn't hold back Pensacola State in his Homecoming and Gulf Coast wasn't able to produce enough runs despite 14 hits in an 8-4 loss in Panhandle Conference baseball play on Friday. Miller, a Pensacola Catholic graduate, exited in the fourth inning after giving up a two-run home run to Johnathon Beary to give the Pirates a 6-3 lead. Miller gave up six runs, five earned, with four hits, four walks and two strikeouts in 3 1/3 innings, as the Commodores fell for the second time in as many meetings with PSC and for the fourth straight time in conference play. Full Story
March 23, 2011 Baseball: GC offense can't back Tidwell's complete game NEWS HERALD (By Brad Milner ) - PANAMA CITY — Gulf Coast's offense on Wednesday was like a bear that had hibernated two weeks too long. It was too late when the Commodores finally woke up, as visiting Pensacola State took a 2-1 Panhandle Conference baseball win at Bill Frazier Field. Neither team did much damage against starting pitchers Danny Davis of Pensacola and GC's Ben Tidwell. The Pirates did a little more in improving to 17-15, 3-4, while sending the Commodores (19-13, 4-3) to their third straight conference defeat. Full Story
March 12, 2011 GC rallies past Chipola, improves to 4-0 in Panhandle NEWS HERALD (By Brad Milner ) - PANAMA CITY — Gulf Coast baseball coach Mike Kandler said rival Chipola has a way of bringing out the best in his team. That was bad news for the Indians on Saturday. GC starting pitcher Ben Tidwell started slowly, as did the Commodores' offense, but both warmed up at the right time and propelled the Commodores to a 7-4 victory at Bill Frazier Field. The win was GC's seventh in a row and kept the Commodores in first place in the Panhandle Conference at 4-0. The Indians fell to 17-12, 0-1 in a game that exemplified their offensive woes as the Indians had only five hits. Full Story
March 11, 2011 Baseball: GC secures three-game sweep of TCC NEWS HERALD (By Brad Milner ) - TALLAHASSEE — Gulf Coast completed a Panhandle Conference baseball series sweep against Tallahassee on Friday, but it didn't come without a little adventure. Terrance Gore scored on Nick Ratajczak's groundout to clinch an 8-7 victory over the Eagles in 10 innings. Four GC pitchers walked 11, but defense saved the Commodores (16-9, 3-0) in threatening situations. The Eagles' defense was anything but helpful as they committed eight errors and had 18 in the three-game series. Full Story
March 10, 2011 Baseball: GC's Fonzi turns in stellar relief outing in win NEWS HERALD (By Brad Milner ) - PANAMA CITY — A game that was getting away from the pitchers needed Andrew Fonzi to restore order. The Gulf Coast left-hander threw seven innings of two-hit relief on Thursday, helping halt Tallahassee's surge and seal a 14-7 victory for the Commodores at Bill Frazier Field. It punctuated the second straight solid outing for an embattled bullpen and improved GC to 15-9 overall and 2-0 in the Panhandle Conference. Full Story
March 7, 2011 Baseball: Gulf Coast triumphs in Panhandle Conference opener NEWS HERALD (By Brad Milner ) - TALLAHASSEE — Gulf Coast overcame early pitching trouble and its offense took advantage of opportunities on Monday as it opened Panhandle Conference baseball play with a victory against homestanding Tallahassee. GC starter Ben Tidwell walked seven in 6 1/3 innings, but worked out of two early jams and found a groove later in his outing. Reliever Nick Allbritton walked the first two batters he faced, but also rebounded to help the Commodores beat the Eagles 12-7. Tallahassee stunted its cause with five errors that led to five GC runs and the Commodores were aggressive on the basepaths in victory. Full Story
March 6, 2011 GC seeks consistency as Panhandle season opens NEWS HERALD (By Brad Milner ) - TALLAHASSEE — Gulf Coast overcame early pitching trouble and its offense took advantage of opportunities on Monday as it opened Panhandle Conference baseball play with a victory against homestanding Tallahassee. GC starter Ben Tidwell walked seven in 6 1/3 innings, but worked out of two early jams and found a groove later in his outing. Reliever Nick Allbritton walked the first two batters he faced, but also rebounded to help the Commodores beat the Eagles 12-7. Tallahassee stunted its cause with five errors that led to five GC runs and the Commodores were aggressive on the basepaths in victory. Full Story
March 6, 2011 GC seeks consistency as Panhandle season opens NEWS HERALD (By Brad Milner ) - PANAMA CITY — Play time is over. The real games begin Monday. The Gulf Coast baseball team has 22 games in its coffers in preparation for the Panhandle Conference opener at Tallahassee at 4 p.m. CST. The Commodores are 13-9 with a three-game winning streak as it prepares to defend its conference title.

March 2, 2011 Baseball: Maddle's two homers key Gulf Coast rout NEWS HERALD (By Brad Milner ) - PANAMA CITY — There's not much time left for improvement for the Gulf Coast baseball team heading into Monday's Panhandle Conference opener. All the Commodores can do at this point is try to build momentum. They took a step toward creating a surge in the final tuneups with an 11-0 run-rule win over visiting Kalamazoo, Mich., at Bill Frazier Field on Wednesday. Catcher Mike Maddle hit two home runs and had five RBIs as GC (11-9) rebounded from a loss to Kalamazoo a day earlier in a doubleheader. Full Story
February 28, 2011 Baseball: Gulf Coast splits home doubleheader NEWS HERALD (By Brad Milner ) - PANAMA CITY — Gulf Coast embodied its overall record on Monday, posting a stellar win then returning with a disappointing loss in the nightcap of a junior college baseball doubleheader against visiting Kalamazoo, Mich. The Commodores stand at 10-9 following the 7-0 win and 4-3 loss that came as a result of a blown save. The doubleheader encapsulated the up and down season for the young GC team, which hasn't been able to gain much traction leading up to the Panhandle Conference season next week. It's been a dose of a little bit of good mixed with a little bit of bad this season and Monday at Bill Frazier Field was no different. Full Story

February 18, 2011 Baseball: GC offense sporadic in splitting games NEWS HERALD (By Brad Milner ) - PANAMA CITY — Gulf Coast's offense turned schizophrenic on Friday. One day after scoring 13 runs, the Commodores' baseball team was limited to three hits and fell 5-1 to Shelton State on Friday afternoon at Bill Frazier Field. Then a few hours later, Gulf Coast turned five hits, six walks and five Wallace State errors into an 11-0, five-inning victory over the team from Dothan. In the first game, the Commodores, 6-6, were limited to a second-inning run and Shelton State broke a 1-1 tie by scoring four times in the ninth off Gulf Coast relief pitcher Will Olive. Pinch-hitter Corey Jackson's two-run double was the big hit for Shelton State, 5-5, and Terrance Dedrick had three hits, an RBI and stolen base. Full Story
February 17, 2011 Baseball: GC offense raps out 16 hits in win NEWS HERALD (By Brad Milner ) - PANAMA CITY — Terrance Gore, D'Andre Toney and A.J. Mackey each had three hits as the Gulf Coast Commodores pounded out 16 hits in a 13-9 win over Wallace State on Thursday at Bill Frazier Field. Mackey had two doubles and Gore stole three bases.

GC (4-5) responded in the ninth when Grant Alvarez singled in Kyle Porter and Grant Helm tripled in Matt Arguello and Josh Jonas to cap the scoring. Winning pitcher Christo Jones retired Santa Fe with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth. Jonas was 4 for 5 with two runs scored, Alvarez and D'Andre Toney each had three hits and Helm, Terrance Gore and Erik Starace had two hits apiece. Nick Miller started and pitched 3 2/3 innings for the no-decision. GC hosts Wallace-Dothan at 3 p.m. on Thursday. Full Story
February 12, 2011 Baseball: Gulf Coast splits road doubleheader NEWS HERALD (By Brad Milner ) - OCALA — Corey Kingsley tossed a shutout for Gulf Coast in the first game of a doubleheader against the College of Central Florida on Saturday, but the Commodores' bullpen couldn't protect a lead in a second-game loss. Kingsley scattered five hits over seven innings for his second win of the season in as many decisions. He had three strikeouts and two walks and A.J. Mackey backed him with two home runs in the 6-0 GC victory. Full Story
February 11, 2011 Baseball: St. Johns River edges GC NEWS HERALD (By Brad Milner ) - PALATKA — GC had runners on first and second base with one out in the ninth inning, but couldn't bring around the tying or winning run against St. Johns River relief pitcher Chris Fern. An error and a hit by pitch gave GC a chance, but Fern struck out Josh Jonas and Erik Starace to earn the save for winning pitcher Weston Nuetzi. GC (2-4) tied the game 5-5 in the seventh inning on A.J. Mackey's two-run triple. St. Johns River regained the lead for good when Max St. Hilaire drove in Jake Schrader with a single off losing pitcher Will Olive in the bottom of the seventh. Full Story

February 4, 2011 GC's Ratajczak awarded 2010-11 Miller Scholarship NEWS HERALD (By Brad Milner ) - PANAMA CITY — Nick Ratajczak takes his job seriously. The Gulf Coast sophomore second baseman knew he would be looked to for leadership this season with a roster of 18 freshmen. His role became more defined when he was awarded the 2010-11 Kevin Miller Scholarship. This is the third year for the honor given to the sophomore that best exemplifies the hard work, toughness, determination and commitment of Miller, the former GC player and coach who died in 2005. Ratajczak received $300 each semester under the current amount of the endowed scholarship, which is bestowed in conjunction with the Gulf Coast Foundation. He also wears Miller's No. 10 jersey and uses his former locker. Full Story
January 30, 2011 GC's Kingsley makes successful return to the mound NEWS HERALD (By Brad Milner ) - PANAMA CITY – Corey Kingsley was finally home again. The Gulf Coast sophomore pitched in his first meaningful game on Sunday, culminating his recovery from Tommy John surgery in fall 2009. It was his longest outing since 2008 when he was a high-schooler at Tates Creek in Lexington, Ky., and he also missed extensive time after suffering a back injury while at Louisville. His GC teammates couldn't rally in a 6-3 loss to Northwest-Shoals on the final day of the First Pitch Classic tournament at Bill Frazier Field. Kingsley pitched into the fifth inning and earned a no-decision. Phil Rossi (0-1) took the loss with 3 2/3 innings of relief. Full Story
January 29, 2011 First Pitch Classic: Bats come alive in Gulf Coast victory NEWS HERALD (By Brad Milner ) - PANAMA CITY – A lengthy talk on Friday about Gulf Coast's approach at the plate paid off for the Commodores. GC amassed 13 hits in an 8-7 win over Gordon College on Saturday in the First Pitch Classic tournament at Bill Frazier Field. The Commodores had only five hits in a Friday loss to Meridian, where there was little adjustment at the plate and lack of aggression from the young team. It prompted a team meeting to discuss the philosophy at the plate and produced two batting cage sessions on Saturday. GC had more hits midway through the second inning on Saturday than it had all of its 7-3 opening loss to Meridian. Five hits came in a five-run second inning that gave GC control. Full Story
January 28, 2011 First Pitch Classic: Meridian drops GC in opener NEWS HERALD (By Brad Milner ) - It's difficult to match four home runs with only five hits. That's the lesson the Gulf Coast baseball team learned on Friday, as Meridian won the First Pitch Classic opener 7-3. The Eagles (1-0) of Mississippi hit four home runs on a blustery day and overcame a 3-0 deficit. The Commodores (0-1) were quiet for six innings and couldn't recover. Ben Kinglsey hit two homers for the Eagles and accounted for four RBIs. His three-run homer in the fifth inning keyed the rally and gave Meridian momentum it wouldn't relinquish. Full Story
January 27, 2011 First Pitch Classic to feature six teams, nine games NEWS HERALD (By Brad Milner ) - PANAMA CITY — The wait is over for junior college baseball.

Full Story
January 24, 2011 Young Guns: GC baseball takes field with 18 freshmen NEWS HERALD (By Brad Milner ) - PANAMA CITY — Mike Kandler follows what might have been his best team with his youngest. The Gulf Coast baseball team achieved a No. 1 state ranking, finished with 41 wins, a Panhandle Conference title and a short stint in the state tournament last season. The defending champions return with only five sophomores. The remaining 18 players are freshmen, which given a year's experience and sticking together might help the Commodores transform into a definite contender next year. That's not to say this season has been written off by any means. The goals remain the same, just the tools to get their need to be honed before they can be realized. Full Story

January 10, 2011 GC diamond teams receive chilly welcome to spring season NEWS HERALD (By Brad Milner ) - PANAMA CITY — A maintenance worker at Gulf Coast Community College sprayed WD-40 on the gate padlocks at Joe Tom King Field on Monday. Some could have been used on the softball and baseball players as well. The GC teams stepped onto the field for the first time for spring practice. The air was crisp and a light mist saturated the air as athletes worked out in hooded sweatshirts, caps and sweatpants. It didn't feel like the spring, but it sounded like it with the smack of leather gloves and cleats chafing the pavement. Much of the first days will be spent getting back into the routine of daily workouts leading up to season openers later this month. Monday was about cracking open lockers and dusting off bats and equipment that had been dormant for two months since the end of fall drills. Full Story

He struck out 131 batters in 88.1 innings and hit .399 with 11 home runs in 52 games. Q: What were your thoughts when you heard your name called by the Cubs? A: I had stopped (following) after the seventh round because I thought this year wasn't going to be the year. But my roommate from school is from Chicago and he called and told me I'd been drafted. I was in a state of shock for about 15 minutes. I had scouts tell me fourth through sixth round, and my adviser said if I wasn't taken by then, they probably had taken me off the board thinking that I'm unsignable. Full Story

The Abel Lectures
Avi Wigderson, Professor at the School of Mathematics, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton will be delivering this year's Science Lecture at the University of Oslo, on May 23rd. The lecture is called Randomness and pseudorandomness, and is one of four lectures to be held this day in connection with the Abel Prize week. The other speakers are Abel Laureate Endre Szemerédi, László Lovász and Timothy Gowers.
Avi Wigderson: Randomness and pseudorandomness:
Is the universe inherently deterministic or probabilistic? Perhaps more importantly - can we tell the difference between the two?
Humanity has pondered the meaning and utility of randomness for millennia.
There is a remarkable variety of ways in which we utilize perfect coin tosses to our advantage: in statistics, cryptography, game theory, algorithms, gambling... Indeed, randomness seems indispensable!
Which of these applications survive if the universe had no randomness in it at all? Which of them survive if only poor quality randomness is available, e.g. that arises from "unpredictable" phenomena like the weather or the stock market?
Pseudorandomness is the study, by mathematicians and computer scientists, of deterministic structures which share some properties of random ones.
Understanding pseudorandom objects and constructing them efficiently leads to a surprisingly positive answers to the questions above, namely that much can be done with poor quality randomness, of even without any randomness at all. I plan to explain key aspects of this theory, and mention some of Endre Szemeredi's contributions to pseudorandomness.
The talk is aimed at a general audience, and no particular background will be assumed.
Endre Szemerédi: In every chaos there is an order
The chaos and order will be defined relative to three problems.
1. Arithmetic progressions
This part is connected to a problem of Erdős and Turán from the 1930's. Related to the van der Waerden theorem, they asked if the density version of that result also holds:
Is it true that an infinite sequence of integers of positive (lower) density contains arbitrary long arithmetic progressions?
The first result in this direction was due to K. F. Roth, who proved that any sequence of integers of positive (lower) density contains a three-term arithmetic progression.
I will give a short history of the generalization of Roth's result and explain some ideas about the "easiest"" proof.
2. Long arithmetic progression in subset sums
I will give exact bound for the size of longest arithmetic progression in subset sums. In addition, I shall describe the structure of the subset sums, and give applications in number theory and probability theory.
3. Embedding sparse graphs into large graphs
László Lovász: The many facets of the Regularity Lemm
The Regularity Lemma of Szemeredi, first obtained in the context of his theorem on arithmetic progressions in dense seuqences, has become one of the most important and most powerful tools in graph theory. It is basic in
extremal graph theory and in the theory of property testing. Weaker versions with better bounds (Frieze and Kannan) and stronger versions (Alon, Fisher, Krivelevich and Szegedy) have been proved and used. However, the
significance of it goes way beyond graph theory: it can be viewed as statement in approximation theory, as a compactness result for the completion of the space of finite graphs, as a result about the dimensionality of a metric space associated with a graph, as a statement in information theory. It serves as the archetypal example of the dichotomy between structure and randomness as pointed out by Tao. Its extensions to hypergraphs, a difficult problem solved by Gowers and by Rodl, Skokan and Schacht, connects with higher order Fourier analysis.
Timothy Gowers: The afterlife of Szemerédis theorem
Szemerédi's theorem asserts that every set of integers of positive upper density contains arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions. This result has been extraordinarily influential, partly because of the tools that Szemerédi introduced in order to prove it, and partly because subsequent efforts to understand the result more fully have led to progress in many other areas of mathematics, including combinatorics, ergodic theory, harmonic analysis and number theory. I shall discuss some of these later developments, to which Szemerédi himself made several essential contributions.

Current Research
Karen's research expertise is in Polish Jewish history and the history of the Holocaust. Her first book, The House at Ujazdowskie 16: Jewish Families in Warsaw after the Holocaust (Indiana University Press, 2013), is a microhistory of Jewish integration in postwar Poland focusing on ten families who were neighbors in an apartment building in Warsaw.
She is currently working on a second book about Jewish booksellers and publishers of Polish literature in nineteenth-century Warsaw.
She is also completing a secondary project examining the spread of information among Jews within Nazi-occupied Europe during the earliest stages of the Holocaust in 1941 and 1942. Previous to her doctoral studies, Karen published numerous articles in the New York-based Forward newspaper about Jewish life in contemporary Poland.
Areas of Research and Supervision
Social and urban history of Jews in modern Europe, East European and Soviet Jewish history, history of the Holocaust, Jewish life and identity in Europe after the Holocaust, Polish history.

Conflicts in Countries & the Security Council
"It is becoming most urgent for religious leaders to articulate their caring ministries for poverty in all its forms in God's world and the Millennium Development Goals are the most practical bench-marks for assessing stewardship to heal God's creation. It will be a real privilege to share the decisions made by the Anglican Communion with regards to the full implementation of the Millennium Declaration and to share the anxieties of the UN Ecumenical Working Group on such issues."
Archdeacon Taimalelagi Matalavea
The [Bush] Administration's sudden opposition to… the international target for rich nations to contribute 0.7 percent of GNP toward poverty reduction places an unwelcome obstacle in the path toward a more stable and secure world…
I am deeply mindful of the need to use government resources to combat terrorism, but one of the most stinging lessons of our time is that the roots of terrorism and conflict most often can be found in those places where poverty and sickness abound and hope is lost…
For the U.S. to now oppose that long-held target further undermines our nation's international credibility, weakens rather than strengthens global security, and does violence to all of our efforts to respond to God's passionate desire for reconciliation and the well-being of all people.
The Most Rev. Frank T. Griswold Presiding Bishop and Primate of the Episcopal Church Excerpted from a statement issued Aug. 25, 2005
More than 30 leaders of Christian denominations worldwide will gather at Washington National Cathedral on Sunday, Sept. 11, to affirm the UN plan to halve extreme poverty by 2015 and propose stepped up action to eradicate poverty throughout the world. Participants will call for a recommitment to achieve the Millennium Development Goals as laid out by UN members in 2000.
The event, Consultation of Religious Leaders on Global Poverty, will open with a series of worship services and lectures in the Cathedral nave, including a 2 p.m. speech by Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University and special advisor to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan.
During a 4 p.m. interfaith service of music and prayer, featured speakers will include the Most Rev. Njongonkulu W.H. Ndungane, archbishop of Cape Town , South Africa ; and former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright.
All events in the Cathedral nave on Sunday, Sept. 11 are open to the public and free of charge. Media coverage is welcome.
Beginning Sunday evening, the faith leaders will enter closed consultative sessions that will extend into Tuesday, Sept. 13, after which a delegation will travel to New York to present the group's communiqué to the U.N.
Although the three-day conference's meetings will be private, the Cathedral's Office of Public Affairs will be able to arrange limited media availabilities with participants.
On Global Poverty is the inaugural event of the Center for Global Justice and Reconciliation, a new initiative of the Cathedral College of Washington National Cathedral.

Thirsties Duo Wraps are diaper covers designed to fit babies from birth through the potty training years with their perfect two-size diaper cover system.
After extensive research, development and testing, Thirsties concluded a one-size diaper cover would not be the most affordable option for parents of diaper-aged children.
Not wanting their diaper cover to be too big on an average newborn or too small for a toddler over 2 years of age, they threw out their prototypes for a one-size diaper cover, added an adjustable rise, and created the Thirsties Duo Wrap instead.
Trim fitting Thirsties covers are a smart selection for families using prefold diapers. Folded and wrapped around baby or trifolded and laid into the diaper cover, Thirsties Duo Wraps' leg gussets provide the leak-proof coverage and protection needed. The super-soft leg bindings are an added benefit against baby's sensitive skin.
Thirsties Duo Wraps are also recommended in combination with Thirsties Fab Fitted Diapers or any trim fitted diaper. For night-time diapering or bulkier fitted diapers, the Thirsties Diaper Cover is designed for a roomier fit.
Thirsties Duo Wraps may be lighter on the budget, but they didn't cut out any of their great features to get there! Completely waterproof, Thirsties Duo Wraps are still breathable, pliable, and comfortable for baby. Secured around baby's waist with durable hook and loop closures, diaper changes are easier and baby gets a comfortably snug fit every time.
The fold-over laundry tabs found on the Thirsties Duo Wraps with Aplix closures protect any other diapers or covers in the wash, as well as guard against the hook and loop closures gathering up lint. Three rows of snaps in the rise allow the perfect adjustability to conform the diaper cover to your baby's shape. The snap setting creates the option for three different fits/sizes in one diaper cover.
Though many diaper covers boast coverage on certain "size" babies, Thirsties Duo Wraps can honestly say they can cover tall to short and thin to chunky babies because of their innovative adjustable rise and snap settings and their two-size diaper cover system!
Selecting the right size cloth diaper cover is an important if you want to secure against leaks. If the diaper cover is too large there may be gaps at the thigh and waist where unwanted leaks can occur. The Thirsties Duo Wrap Diaper Covers are available in the following sizes:
Thirsties Duo Wraps are USA-made by skilled woman, many of whom work from home. In an effort to reduce their carbon footprint, Thirsties uses only the best of USA-sourced components in their diapers and diaper covers. They support domestic textile mills and carefully consider all the fabrics to ensure your purchase LASTS!

M5 crash: 'Weeks' before cause known
It may be some weeks before the cause of the M5 crash in which seven people were killed is known, the transport secretary has said.
Justine Greening confirmed to MPs 37 vehicles were involved and 51 people hurt in the Somerset crash, on Friday.
Among those killed were two lorry drivers from the same company. A third company driver was injured.
Police investigating the cause are treating a nearby fireworks display as a "major line of inquiry".
Ms Greening, in a statement in the Commons, said: "Given the large number of vehicles involved, the need to carefully look at those vehicles recovered and to talk to many of the witnesses, it may be some weeks until the investigation can conclude on any cause or causes of this incident."
'People supported'Lorry drivers Kye Thomas, 38, of Gunnislake, Cornwall, and Terry Brice, 55, of Patchway, Bristol, were named on Monday as being among those killed.
They worked for Leicestershire-based Samworth Brothers, which said a third employee was injured.
Director Mark Samworth said: "Our main priority at the moment is to offer as much support and help as needed to the families of those who have died and to the injured driver and his family.
"It is also a very difficult time for other colleagues at Samworth Brothers Distribution and we are ensuring our people are being well supported."
Other victims of the accident included Malcolm Beacham from Woolavington, Somerset.
'Deeply shocked'Emma Barton, from Windsor in Berkshire, was seriously injured in the crash, at junction 25, near Taunton. Her boyfriend Chris Burbull was also hurt.
Thames Hospicecare, for whom Ms Barton worked and where Mr Burbull did voluntary work, said it was "deeply shocked".
"Our heartfelt thoughts and sympathy are with Emma, Chris and their families at this critical time," it said in a statement.
On Sunday, police confirmed married couple Tony and Pam Adams, from Newport, south Wales, were among those who died.
The family of Mr and Mrs Adams said they were heartbroken at their loss.
Canon Andrew Willie said the couple, who were in their 70s, had been teenage sweethearts who were together for more than 50 years.
Taunton Rugby Club, which had organised the firework display, said it was assisting police with the investigation.
That will focus on whether smoke wafted across the carriageway.
"We are helping the police in any way we can to ascertain the cause of this tragedy," said the club in a statement.
Firework displays and the law
- Law in England, Wales and Scotland prohibits anyone except professionals from possessing display fireworks
- Fireworks can be set off until midnight on 5 November, and until 01:00 on New Year's Eve, Diwali and Chinese New Year
- 'Temporary event notice' usually required from local authority for sale of alcohol or entertainment at public display
- No specific licence for fireworks required
- Government advises use of large, clear area, away from hazards, and says organisers should consider cancelling in windy weather
- It says fire service, police and first aid organisations should be alerted
- In Northern Ireland, licence is required for fireworks display
- The Highways Act 1980 forbids the discharge of fireworks within 50 feet of the centre of a highway without lawful authority or excuse
Source: Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, Local Government Association, Department for Transport, Taunton Deane Borough Council
Taunton Deane Borough Council is meeting police officers to talk through event licence requirements.
Police have not established what caused the crash but said "a bank of smoke" had been across the M5 at the time.
The motorway has now reopened in both directions.
Avon and Somerset Police Assistant Chief Constable Anthony Bangham said his focus was the Friday night event and people who had attended the fireworks display would be interviewed by officers.
"Our main line of inquiry has now moved towards the event that was on the side of the carriageway," he said.
"We do believe that whilst there was fog and difficult conditions in the area, that actually from witness evidence there was very significant smoke across the carriageway which in effect caused a bank, similar to a fog bank, and this was very distracting and very difficult to drive through.
"We will be doing everything we can to find out as quickly as we're able to what's behind that."
The coroner for West Somerset, Michael Rose, said he planned to open inquests into the deaths of the seven victims of the crash on Thursday.
"I have requested three forensic pathologists to carry out post-mortem [tests] today on the seven victims of the tragic incident," he said.
In the nearby town of Bridgwater, about 1,000 people observed a minute's silence at the carnival statue on Sunday.

Mel Ettenson's Global Plastics News
IAPD is pleased to welcome Mel Ettenson as a guest columnist each month in the IAPD News offering unique content for IAPD members.
The column below is only a sample of the Global Plastics News. If you are interested in learning more about the entire publication, visit www.globalplasticsletter.com.
Overall, economies are continuing to move at the same pace as recent months, with third quarter growth expected to be 2.0 - 3.5 percent. Manufacturing is expanding almost everywhere: the automotive, metal fabrication, electrical equipment, appliances and, of course, high-tech sectors are leading this bounce. Swings such as we have seen in stock markets will also be prevalent in measuring economic growth. Still, we're seeing an unpredictable and difficult-to-plan-for business climate in 2013, with our industry along for the ride. Reports are that single-digit revenue growth will prevail this year, with profits tracking.
Numerous energy moves are worth tracking, because they all can impact our industry. Of note is oil sand drilling, shale exploration for natural gas, solar panels and oil exceeding US$100 per barrel due to Egypt's uncertainty affecting Middle East oil supplies. Expect continuing wild swings in all markets, including financial, petroleum and polymers. This pre-supposes no disruption of supply caused by political unrest in the Middle East. The growing supply of natural gas is good news for industrial users, especially those who manufacture formaldehyde-based polymers such as acetal. Coming next year: Watch for new display technology for smart phones and tablets replacing today's LCDs and OLEDs. They will be energy misers compared to existing technology that consumes much power while processing data above and below the cloud.
Most resin and therefore shapes prices continue to be soft and have backed down last month. The outlook is for a continuation of this trend, with some selective exceptions. Plan for this scenario to continue throughout 2013 but keep watchful about ETPs, which will be market-driven rather than supply-demand or input-cost driven. Of course, disruptions in basic petrochemical supply due to geopolitical events are omnipresent.
Lanxess moves it corporate headquarters to Cologne, Germany. Celanese and Ticona will showcase their Engineering Plastics product line at K 2013, October 16-23, 2013 in Dusseldorf, Germany. Medical tubing manufacturer Eldon James, diversifies into the beverage market, offering new competition for the first time, with antimicrobial and PVC-free tubing products, to St. Gobain's Tygon product line.
The "Amazonization" of our industry, with Amazon Supply and now including "Google Shopping for Suppliers," a beta test, throws some new ideas into the mix. Grainger responds and others are planning new forays into b-to-b industrial e-commerce. This is big and evolutionary.

CARACAS, Friday March 28, 2008 | Update
Venezuelan Communication and Information Minister Andrés
Izarra Friday advocated the need to organize an Inter-American
Association "against media terrorism."
Izarra made the proposal after he opened the Latin American
meeting against media terrorism, which is taking place in
the Rómulo Gallegos Latin American Studies Center, in
Delegates and experts in communication from more than 14
countries in the region are attending the meeting until March
According to Izarra, the privately owned news media are the
spearhead of the empire's media terrorism. "The power of the
news media is so big the US imperialist government no longer
uses them as a supplement mechanism to overthrow progressive
governments in Latin America, but as major players to destabilize
nations through media terrorism and psychological warfare."
The Venezuelan official claimed that the US empire has set
the order of the transnational news corporations. Consequently,
it is impossible to establish the new communications order,
as the Unesco suggested in a report.
02:57 PM. HEAVY RAINS. Venezuelan Executive Vice-President Elias Jaua reported that the government is designing plans to support farmers, cattlemen and peasants of the state of Mérida who have been hit by heavy rains that have caused crop losses.

TCI M89-SR Sniper Rifle
The M89 SR Sniper Rifle is designed as a dual-purpose weapon (urban anti-terrorist operations as well as a battlefield sniper rifle). The M89SR sniper is based on the M-14 battle rifle in a bullpup configuration. The factory guarantees 1 Minute of Angle (MOA) accuracy. The only units using the M89SR as of 2002 are Sayeret Duvedevan and Sayeret Shimshon. Only a total of 50 were built, due to financial difficulties with the manufacturer and political restrictions from the US government over the M-14 base design.
These IMI SR-99 Sniper Rifle were only beginning series production as the war started and were mainly issued to the various Sayaret units, in small numbers. Despite the appearance of the IMI SR-99 Sniper Rifle, this is an evolutionary advancement of the Galil Sniper Rifle. The primary enhancements are the greatly reduced weight, made possible by polymer stock, pistol grip, and handguard, a MIL-STD-1913 rail for optics mounting (though attacked to a quick-release version of the Galatz mount and also attacked to the left side of the receiver) a stock adjustable for length of pull, height and angle of the buttplate (the buttplate is also padded), a cheekpiece adjustable for height and position along the stock, and an adjustable trigger.
M89 SR Sniper Rifle |
The barrel of the IMI SR-99 is cold hammer-forged and 20 inches long; it is also equipped with a muzzle brake which is less bulky than that of the Galatz but just as effective. The bolt may be switched to a single-action mode; in this mode, the bolt does not travel and recock the weapon after each shot, making the weapon much quieter when using a suppressor. (However, in this mode, the IMI SR-99 sniper is fired using the BA rate.) The bolt carrier and charging handle are also one-piece and coated to slide easily and be as quiet as possible. The standard scope is the same as that on the Galatz, but the IMI SR-99 also has backup iron sights as well as an anti-mirage strap above the barrel.
