(Distances are in nautical miles)
The year 1944 saw a great amphibious offensive unfold in the Pacific. The forces of the United Nations, spearheaded and sustained by the United States Pacific Fleet, drove in massive lunges through Japan's ill-gotten conquests, moving 1830 miles westward from Tarawa and Makin to anchor their armed night securely in the Marianas. From there systematic bombarding of Tokyo and other Japanese industrial centers has begun.
From the jungles of New Britain the front was pushed 1600 miles north and west to the Philippines. As of today, the enemy's defensive arc from Paramushiru in the northern Kuriles to Manila, 2780 miles in extent, is within effective range of our fleet and shore based aircraft. To U. S. offensive forces in the Marianas and Philippines, as elsewhere in the Pacific, a constant procession of cargo vessels is carrying thousands of tons of supplies. These two points are 4938 miles and 6056 miles, respectively, from San Francisco. No military operation has ever embraced such dimensions.
There is evidence that the enemy counted on slow and painful forward steps by our forces, instead of swift advances. Radio Tokyo told its listeners recently that speed is an "outstanding trait" of the American people. "The enemy has come pressing upon us," Tokyo explained, "skipping three or four steps in one jump, for the step‑by‑step method was not speedy enough for him."
In seizing positions in the pivotal Philippines, a strategic victory has been consummated. A string of island bases along the southern perimeter of Japan's inner sea has been established. From them can be launched drives against the home Empire. At the same time Japan is being cut off from the rich military resources of the Indies‑the empire she coveted, won and planned to exploit without hindrance.
Japan's leaders are well aware of the strategic import of the battle of the Philippines. It is a battle which, according to their own propaganda, they know they must not lose. This was indicated when the Japanese Imperial Fleet, long in hiding, steamed forth in a supreme effort to destroy the forces covering the beachhead won on Leyte. The U. S. Navy then came to grips with, and thoroughly defeated, a major force of the Japanese Navy in the three actions of Surigao Straits, Samar and of Cape Engano.
These three actions constituted the Second Battle of the Philippine Sea, the culminating sea engagement of the year, which was symbolic of the destruction wrought upon the Japanese military machine throughout the Pacific.
During the year U. S. surface ships and aircraft sank two of the enemy's battleships, five of his aircraft carriers, seven of his heavy cruisers, well over 300 cargo ships and transports, and about 200 other vessels, with the grand total reaching 550 ships, according to tentative figures now available. These figures do not include any ships probably sunk or damaged, or any ships destroyed by our submarines. They do not include any of the hundreds of barges, luggers and other small cargo craft sunk. And they refer only to activity in the Pacific Ocean Areas exclusive of the Southwest Pacific command.
U. S. submarines sank 468 Japanese ships during the first 11 months of 1944, according to Navy Department communiqués. This total includes four light cruisers and 17 destroyers. Forty‑three tankers, 377 cargo ships and transports were sent to the bottom. In December an enemy aircraft carrier was sunk by a submarine. The tonnage of Japanese ships sunk during 1944 by U. S. submarines alone is in excess of 2,500,000 tons. The number of ships damaged by submarines has not been announced.
During 1944, 6,650 enemy aircraft were destroyed in the Pacific Ocean Areas. Of these approximately 5,450 were destroyed by carrier aircraft, and 1,200 by land‑based airplanes. Of the year's total, approximately 3,975 enemy aircraft were destroyed in the air, and 2,675 on the ground. These figures also do not include reports from the Southwest Pacific command.
No review of the year would be complete without mention of our land-based air forces. As we have moved the battlefront steadily across the Pacific, we have drawn after us a net of air and surface blockade, entangling, pinning down, choking the by‑passed Japanese holdings. An estimated 225,000 enemy troops, and strong enemy bastions such as Truk, Kavieng and Rabaul, have been reduced to impotence or to ashes.
In addition to ceaseless patrolling by surface units, many hundreds of land‑based air strikes have been necessary to enforce this blockade. Many of these strikes were in force, with heavy bomb loads dropped on important targets. Others were small. When practicable they were closely coordinated with carrier‑based attacks and amphibious landings. Together with our surface patrolling, these air strikes destroyed enemy strength in by‑passed zones and made possible our rapid advance.
The year 1944 has brought success and added momentum to our advancing forces. But the Pacific is an ocean of fantastic distances. The road to Tokyo is rough and long. The enemy has just begun to defend his Home Empire. We have just begun to meet the tremendous problems of logistics, of supplying our forces‑problems that grow greater with every forward step.
The vast quantity of material required to prepare the way for our advancing troops can be measured in terms of ammunition. Our naval forces alone used 36,260 tons of it in the Marianas campaign for air and surface bombardment. This does not include any ammunition used by troops ashore. At Peleliu surface and air bombardment consumed 9,000 tons. A myriad of other commodities are required to supply and sustain our advancing forces.
The decisive battles, the greatest battles, the hardest battles of the war in the Pacific are still to come. They must be fought with supreme effort on the part of all of us; in factories throughout our country, across the long sea lanes, and in the forward areas where the men of all our armed services, and those of our Allies, are fighting‑for the enemy, like ourselves, has just begun to fight.
All dates are West Longitude.
For the months January to July, inclusive, revised figures are used in showing our own and enemy losses. By "revised" is meant the figures arrived at as result of assembling, analyzing and tabulating all the final returns‑a process which takes many weeks after the action concerned. These revised figures often differ, to a minor degree, from the figures originally announced in communiqués.
For the months August to December, inclusive, revised figures are not available; that is, the figures used in this portion of the chronology are drawn entirely and only from communiqués issued in that period.
The purpose of this chronology is primarily to list events occurring in the Pacific Ocean areas. However, the campaigns of the Southwest Pacific Area are strategically speaking, an inseparable part of the Pacific offensive, and repeatedly during the year the activities of the two commands had a direct and important tactical relationship. For these reasons the major events occurring in the Southwest Pacific Area are included in this chronology.

Enemy air power was paralyzed: 129 enemy aircraft were shot down, 82 were destroyed on the ground, 70 were damaged on the ground according to photographic evidence. (No Jap aircraft were airborne the second day of the attack.) Meantime, a force including battleships and cruisers made sweep around the atoll attacking Japanese merchant and Naval vessels in the vicinity of Truk. There were few targets left by the 17th, and on that day our force retired. Sunk by our air and surface action were 2 light cruisers, 3 destroyers, 2 patrol craft, 1 Ammunition Ship, 8 Freighters, 7 Oilers, 2 Barges. Damaged were 16 other vessels (only 14 out of a total of 55 vessels at Truk escaped undamaged).

Opposition was light. Beachheads were quickly secured and by the 28th, all airfields and airdromes at both areas were in hand. |
This move effectively isolated at least 60,000 Japs of the Japanese 18th Army between Aitape and Madang, and made it possible to blockade them as enemy troops in the Solomons, the Bismarck Archipelago and the Marshalls were being blockaded. |
In this operation the 5th Fleet units were under tactical command of Vice Admiral Marc A. Mitscher, USN, and the 7th Fleet units were under Rear Admiral D. E. Barbey, USN. |
Erikub and Aur atolls, Marshall Islands, were secured. |
23 April |
Ujelang atoll, Marshall Islands, was secured without opposition. This completed the Marshalls Operation. In |

So effective had been our air and surface covering operations that of the 24 atolls and 3 islands taken, only Kwajalein and Eniwetok had been heavily defended. Enemy casualties: 10,902 killed and 523 prisoners of war. Our casualties: 566 killed and missing, 1683 wounded. Japanese bases on the following four atolls, completely bypassed, blockaded and pounded by daily air attacks, were left to "wither on the vine": Jaluit, Mille, Wotje, Maloelap. |
24 April |
Madang on the coast of Northeast New Guinea occupied by Australian and United States troops. On the 26th these troops occupied Alexishafen in the same area. This seizure gave Allied forces control of Vitiaz Strait off Northeast New Guinea, and major base and port facilities. |
29‑30 April |
Returning from the Hollandia operation, 5th Fleet units under Vice Admiral Mitscher attacked Truk. Carrier aircraft heavily bombed and strafed ground installations, doing extensive damage.

Covered by heavy air and surface bombardment, our troops went ashore at Saipan, main Japanese base in the Marianas and headquarters of the Japanese Commander in Chief, Central Pacific Area. Vigorous opposition had developed. Fighting on Saipan ranked with the severest in the Pacific war, but its seizure constituted a major breach in the Japanese line of |
inner defenses. The expeditionary force included the 2nd and 4th Marine Divisions and the 27th Infantry Division, United States Army. The Saipan operation, like the other invasions in the Marianas, was under the general direction of Admiral Raymond A. Spruance, USN, Commander, Fifth Fleet, with Vice Admiral Richmond K. Turner, USN, in charge of the expeditionary forces. (Saipan is 3300 miles from Pearl Harbor, 1000 miles from Eniwetok and 1260 miles from Tokyo.) |

The landing forces included the 3rd Marine Division, the 1st Provisional Marine Brigade and the 77th Infantry Division. There was little opposition to the landings themselves, but determined opposition developed inland. From this date until 7 August, our battleships, cruisers and destroyers furnished fire support to the troops ashore on Guam. Carrier aircraft also provided continued support. |

Introducing Vagrant
Now there are two Boxes installed:
>vagrant box list
It is important to note that you can reuse these base images. A Box can be the base for multiple projects without contamination. Changes in any one project will not change the other projects that share a Box. As you'll see, changes in the base can be shared to projects easily. One of the powerful concepts about using Vagrant is that the development environment is now totally disposable. You persist your critical work on the Host, while the Guest can be reloaded quickly and provisioned from scratch.
Starting Vagrant
Create a directory on the Host as your starting point. This directory is your working directory. Vagrant will share this directory between the Guest and the Host automatically. Developers can edit files from their preferred Editors or IDEs without updating the Guest. Changes made in the Host or Guest are immediately visible to the user from either perspective:
> mkdir ProjectX
> cd ProjectX
To get started, you need a Vagrantfile. The Vagrantfile is to similar to a Makefile, a set of instructions that tells Vagrant how to build the Guest. Vagrant uses Ruby syntax for configuration. The simplest possible Vagrantfile would be something like this:
Vagrant::Config.run do |config|
config.vm.box = "lucid32"
This configuration tells Vagrant to use all the defaults and the Box called lucid32. There actually are four Vagrantfiles that are read: the local version in the current directory, a user version in ~/.vagrant.d/, a Box version in the Box file and an initial config installed with the Gem. Vagrant reads these files starting with the Gem version and finishing with the current directory. In the case of conflicts, the most recent version wins, so the current directory overrides the ~/.vagrant.d, which overrides the Box version and so on. Users can create a new Vagrantfile simply by running:
> vagrant init
This creates a Vagrantfile in the current directory. The generated Vagrantfile has many of the common configuration parameters with comments on their use. The file tries to be self-documenting, but additional information is available from the Vagrant Web site. To run most Vagrant commands, you need to be in the same directory as the Vagrantfile.
Let's give it a try:
$ vagrant up
[default] Importing base box 'lucid32'...
[default] The guest additions on this VM do not match the install
version of VirtualBox! This may cause things such as forwarded
ports, shared folders, and more to not work properly. If any of
those things fail on this machine, please update the guest
additions and repackage the box.
Guest Additions Version: 4.1.0
VirtualBox Version: 4.1.8
[default] Matching MAC address for NAT networking...
[default] Clearing any previously set forwarded ports...
[default] Forwarding ports...
[default] -- 22 => 2222 (adapter 1)
[default] Creating shared folders metadata...
[default] Clearing any previously set network interfaces...
[default] Booting VM...
[default] Waiting for VM to boot. This can take a few minutes.
[default] VM booted and ready for use!
[default] Mounting shared folders...
[default] -- v-root: /vagrant
Let's break this down. I'm running with VirtualBox 4.1.8 and a Guest at 4.1.0. In this case it works smoothly, but the warning is there to help troubleshoot issues should they appear. Next, it sets up the networking for the Guest:
[default] Matching MAC address for NAT networking...
[default] Clearing any previously set forwarded ports...
[default] Forwarding ports...
[default] -- 22 => 2222 (adapter 1)
I used the default network setting of Network Address Translation with Port Forwarding. I am forwarding port 2222 on the Host to port 22 on the Guest. Vagrant starts the Guest in headless mode, meaning there is no GUI interface that pops up. For users who want to use the GUI version of the Guest, the option is available in the Vagrantfile to run within a window. Once the network is set up, Vagrant boots the virtual machine:
[default] VM booted and ready for use!
[default] Mounting shared folders...
[default] -- v-root: /vagrant
After the Guest has started, Vagrant will add the shared folder. Vagrant uses the VirtualBox extensions to mount the current folder (ProjectX in this case) as /vagrant. Users can copy and manipulate files from the Host OS in the ProjectX directory, and all the files and changes will be visible in the Guest. If the shared folder isn't performing well because you have a large number of files, Vagrant does support using NFS. However, it does require that NFS is supported by both the Guest and Host systems. At this time, NFS is not supported on Windows Hosts.
China may still be a
China may still be a developing country, but the Chinese people have kept up with the fashion and culture of the modern world. While you may still find people in China who regularly wear Mao jackets, tunics and loose traditional-style trousers, the vast majority of people in China dress similarly to people in Western countries in jeans, t-shirts and business suits. Qipao (Mandarin) or cheongsam (Cantonese), the ancient style of long women's formal gowns, are still worn but only during formal occasions or by hostesses in upscale restaurants and hotels. Chinese Dress
Buggy so far...
My experience with Vagrant has been pretty awkward, to say the least.
At first it was working great, but then after a few days using I started to get timeouts and was unable to do the provision without timing out.
Ruby's not a scripting
Ruby's not a scripting language, it's a dynamic language.
I hate it when multiple persons work on the same piece of code, it always takes a lot of guesswork to see who made which error and when...

Released: Mar 01st, 1989
Running Time: 79
Director: Dan Faragett
Company: Intropics Video
Jerry Butler, Samantha Strong, Scott Irish, Jade East, Frankie Leigh
Critical Rating: AA
Genre: Feature
Self-made condom king (Blake Palmer) thinks that his son's mind —as well as his body— is a terrible thing to waste. He sends for the English tutor (Samantha Strong) and aerobics instructor (Frankie Leigh) for his spoiled sibling. Needless to say, the only education sonny boy receives is of the carnal variety.
Samantha comes on strong with Scott Irish (as the son) and Jerry Butler as the caretaker's offspring, in two worthwhile, nasty episodes. Otherwise, the sex is strictly perfunctory and predictable. Palmer's character comes off as overbearingly chauvinistic, and though the language may be strong, that doesn't necessarily make it interesting. Samantha looks good on packaging. (Note: some safe sex techniques are used).

Slideshow! We do some
long distance critter ID for a lady that runs Furry Friends Haven
a no-kill cat and dog shelter in In addition
to the many trees and other plantings that owners John and Suzanne
Gregoire have added to restore and enhance the habitat since they
founded it in 1986, there are also several ponds that they helped
to establish, all of which are teeming with life. Numerous nesting
boxes for kestrels, wood ducks, and others are fully occupied as
well. Among the sanctuary's ever-increasing array of wildlife inhabitants
are 220 avian species, several reptile and amphibian species, white-tailed
deer and red and gray foxes, red and gray squirrels, coyotes, skunks,
opossum, three bat species, several rodents, including deer mice,
meadow voles, and house mice, two mole species, woodchucks, chipmunks,
and many species of butterflies, dragonflies, and damselflies. The land
is now protected as perpetual wildlife habitat through a conservation
easement with the Humane Society Wildlife Land Trust. The Wildlife Land
Trust perpetual easements consider wild animal welfare and ecosystem
protection before and above any human considerations. Unlike many
other land trusts, the land is preserved for the exclusive needs
and use of wild animals and not people. The sanctuary is closed
to public visitation. While the
many habitat improvements at Kestrel Haven draw more species every
year, the unique natural assets of These lists
are updated as needed but at least once a year. They currently include:
Birds of Schuyler County,
Dragonflies and Damselflies,
Butterflies, Mammals, Fish and Mollusks, Rare Native Plants, Amphibians and Reptiles and Trees. As the County's weather station of record,
we also present a Precipitation
chart which includes both rain and snow totals. At Kestrel
Haven we have conducted daily "point counts" of bird species present
since October 1986, as well as, compilations of flowering dates
for wild flowering plants and a complete biological inventory of
trees, shrubs and the many critters that also call this sanctuary
home. One example of the use of point count data is the average
Arrival date charts for selected bird species. A
comprehensive list of the four letter alpha codes for bird species
can be found at this website. Feel free

Amy Winehouse Sucks Her Thumb At A Concert. I Really Wish I Was Kidding.
So I'm looking at these photos of Amy Winehouse side stage enjoying the Nas and Damian Marley concert at the Hammersmith Apollo and I'm thinking she looks great, healthy, she's got great colouring, she must be on the road to great health. Then I see the pictures of Amy sucking her thumb and I think W.T.F.? This is a 26 year old woman who was in public, side stage at a concert and

Publisher's Description
Advice from the heart of a rather hip and savvy Baby Boomer grandmother offers insight for grandmothering in the twenty-first century.
The rules for grandmothers have changed. The new silver generation is savvy and sophisticated-managing businesses, working out with a personal trainer, and traveling to exotic locations. But what about their care and nurturing of the next generation? How can they stay connected and leave a legacy, cheerleading and hand-holding those who come behind?
This handbook provides encouragement for grandmothers with the real issues they face today. Seven sections of essays challenge grandmothers to become healers, peacemakers, repairers of the breach in families, and to celebrate life transitions and aging. Topics, both humorous and serious, range from the importance of choosing a name, waiting at the hospital, and getting wrinkles to blended families, step-grandparenting, in-laws, boundaries, and dying. Generation G will inspire grandmothers to realize their calling is great and their gift, of themselves, essential.

IreneUnited States4 Stars Out Of 5Advice For Savvy GrandmothersFebruary 28, 2011IreneUnited StatesQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4This review was written for Generation G: Advice for Savvy Grandmothers Who Will Never Go Gray - eBook.The subtitle of this book, Advice For Savvy Grandmothers Who Will Never Go Gray, gives you an idea of the humor you will find throughout its pages.
Each chapter has a verse under its title and relates to the principle she is explaining in that chapter. She gives just enough personal stories as examples that by the end of the book you feel like she is a lifelong friend.
The chapters are written in a friendly non-judgmental manner. It is easy to read and follow. At the next baby shower bring this book along for the Grandmother to be. I think it is a must read for all Grandmothers, especially those who are young at heart.
I was given this book by christianreviewofbooks.com to review -
Audra Mahaney4 Stars Out Of 5December 16, 2009Audra MahaneyThis book is a wonderful read. The author gives insight of matters that I had not though of as a Grandmother.
Ginger Tate5 Stars Out Of 5December 28, 2008Ginger TateGeneration G, by Author Marty Norman, is an excellent book that gives advice for savvy grandmothers. Grandmothers of this generation are different than grandmothers of the past. Things and times have changed. Grandmothers are not like the images we have of them sitting in a rocking chair, in the kitchen with their apron, or sitting on the back porch watching the world go by. Grandmothers of today are active. They travel, teach, preach, have jobs and stay in shape Grandmothers of today are savvy.Marty Norman writes and gives advice on how a grandmother can reach her grandchildren in a way that is not preachingbut teaches how a grandmother can win them over in wisdom, hope, strength & love. A grandmother has many opportunities to help, teach, play and learn with their grandchildren. The book, Generation G, gives ideas on how to keep in contact with grandchildren that live in another state. This book also gives ideas on family traditions, play times, vacations, etc.The greatest part about Generation G is that it helps you, the Grandmother, find your own style and footprint that will reach your grandchildren in years to come. As a grandmother, this is a book that I highly recommend. I have taken notes, made plans and have started making my own legacy with my grandchildren. Buy Generation G.it will be one of the best decisions youve ever made.

Clemson WR Peake done for season
Clemson wide receiver Charone Peake has been lost for the season after tearing a knee ligament at practice this week.
Peake was the second-leading receiver for Clemson (2-0) with eight catches for 84 yards and a touchdown.
Tigers coach Dabo Swinney said Peake tore an ACL during a non-contact drill Tuesday and an MRI on Wednesday showed the ligament tear. Football spokesman Tim Bourret said that Peake will require surgery. Bourret said Clemson will apply for a medical redshirt so Peake won't lose a year of eligibility.
''This is a big loss. Charone was having a great year and was going to have a great year,'' Swinney said.
Bourret said Clemson, which is off this weekend, would not specify which knee Peake hurt, per athletic department policy. Clemson returns to action Sept. 19 with a Thursday night game at North Carolina State to open Atlantic Coast Conference play.
Peake, a junior from Moore, was expected to be a large part of any success Clemson was to have this year. He caught 25 passes for 172 yards and two touchdowns in limited action last season. Still, the 6-foot-3, 200-pound junior was on the preseason watch list for the Biletnikoff Award that goes to the top receiver in college football.
Peake had five catches for 58 yards in the Tigers' 38-35 opening victory over then-No. 5 Georgia. Peake's 25-yard grab to the Georgia 7 in the first quarter set up Clemson's first touchdown.
Peake struck for his only touchdown of the season last week in a 52-13 win against South Carolina State, a three-yard catch from backup quarterback Cole Stoudt.
While Clemson had 14 players catch at least one pass against South Carolina State, Peake's loss is a hit for the Tigers in an area where they're not terribly deep.
''We are thin at receiver with just six scholarship players now. We like to carry 10 at that position,'' Swinney said. ''We have good players, but we don't have a lot of bodies.''
Peake's signing with Clemson was considered just as significant as locking up receiver Sammy Watkins in February 2011. But while Watkins became an All-American as a freshman, Peake struggled to find playing time in Clemson's fast-paced system his first two years.
Swinney and offensive coordinator Chad Morris had said during preseason camp that Peake had taken some big steps forward and was poised to become a major part of the Tigers' offense.
Instead, Peake will have several months of rehabilitation before seeing the field again.
Swinney said junior Adam Humphries, Peake's teammate at Dorman High School, would move into Peake's starting spot. Humphries has started five of 29 games in his career. He's had seven catches for 53 yards in two games this fall.
Swinney said younger players like redshirt freshman Germone Hopper, and true freshmen T.J. Greene and Mike Williams will have to step up in Peake's absence. Hopper had two touchdown catches last week in the win over South Carolina State.

Can Facebook Make Mobile Pay?
Facebook is thinking mobile with the announcement that it will launch an app store. Facebook
- Kent Bernhard, Jr.
Facebook has gone a long way toward proving itself on the desktop. Too bad the world is going mobile just in time for the social network's initial public offering.
The company amended its IPO filing late Wednesday to show a huge shift in users accessing profiles and other services through mobile devices and to sound the alarm that Facebook has yet to turn all those mobile users into moneymakers.
Facebook isn't taking the news lying down, though, launching an app marketplace to showcase and sell software for mobile devices.
In its altered filing, the company allows that 488 million active users accessed Facebook using mobile devices. That's important because Facebook has no control over mobile operating systems, and can't sell as many ads as on its personal computer platform. Company officials write in their amended filing:
While most of our mobile users also access Facebook through personal computers, we anticipate that the rate of growth in mobile usage will exceed the growth in usage through personal computers for the foreseeable future, in part due to our focus on developing mobile products to encourage mobile usage of Facebook. We have historically not shown ads to users accessing Facebook through mobile apps or our mobile website. In March 2012, we began to include sponsored stories in users' mobile News Feeds. However, we do not currently directly generate any meaningful revenue from the use of Facebook mobile products, and our ability to do so successfully is unproven.
That's a big unknown for a company that could be valued as high as $96 billion in what's expected to be the largest-ever tech initial public offering on May 18. And the trend is particularly disturbing given Facebook's shrinking revenue and profits in the first quarter of 2012.

Deeplinks Blog posts about OECD
As several international organizations hatch new ways to impose control over online activities, genuine multi-stakeholder input in policy development becomes extremely crucial. The sixth UN Internet Governance Forum (IGF), held in Nairobi, Kenya, was an important venue for discussing competing models for governing the Internet.
EFF played a pivotal role in shaping the dialogue at this forum, and we were able to push our policies to enhance free expression and privacy, while preventing various government and corporate efforts at mobilizing Internet intermediaries to police the Internet. EFF explained why the effort to utilize Internet intermediaries--from Comcast to Youtube--as tools for surveillance and censorship is a dangerous and misguided policy that will impede innovation and freedom of expression.
Yesterday we reported that EFF and the other civil society members of the Civil Society Information Society Advisory Committee to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (CSISAC) had declined to endorse a draft Communique on Internet policy-making principles produced by the OECD. Since then, the OECD and key government representatives reopened negotiations with civil society, business and the technical industry stakeholders, in an effort to find mutually acceptable text to accommodate our concerns. Unfortunately that was not successful, and EFF and other members of the OECD's Civil Society Information Society Advisory Council have declined to endorse the full and final version of the Communiqué released on 29 June.
UPDATE: These comments relate to the DRAFT Communique distributed to all the participants at the High Level Meeting. The final Communique is scheduled to be released on 29 June at 13:00 pm
EFF has joined with a coalition of more than 80 global civil society groups which have declined to endorse a set of Internet Policy Principles presented today in Paris by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). EFF and the other members of the OECD's Civil Society Information Society Advisory Council (CSISAC) were unwilling to accept the high profile OECD Communiqué on Internet Policy-making because it could encourage states to use Internet intermediaries to police online content, undermining freedom of expression, privacy and innovation across the world.

On the route closest to the staircase the hardest section was right off the ground. The climbing after that is much easier. Same with the second climb from the left. There is another face climb next to the hollow flake that is a fun 5.6. |
By SSM Jun 16, 2008 |
The left-most route can be climbed and top roped with a 70 meter rope. The two climbs right, only require a 60 meter. |
By Jordan Hirro From: Colorado Springs/Glenwood Spri Nov 9, 2013 |
Fun, easy climbing after getting the first bolt. We all started out left and worked the rail over to the first bolt. Definitely need a 70m. |

NM forest plans to round up free-roaming cattle
Forest officials plan to round up cattle that have been roaming freely for years in the Gila Wilderness in southwestern New Mexico.
The Wilderness Ranger District announced its impoundment order this week. It stems from reports of cattle roaming along the Gila River near Turkey Creek, Johnson Canyon and Miller Springs.
Forest officials say the cattle are leftover from a 2006 impoundment effort.
District Ranger Ray Torres says the roundup will help with grazing management. He says stray livestock can often be found roaming in sensitive riparian areas or places occupied by threatened or endangered species.
Once the livestock is gathered, the forest will work with state livestock inspectors to identify the owner, if possible.
If an owner cannot be identified, unclaimed animals are typically turned over to the state Livestock Board for disposal.

What if you want to know how the guy felt about the game? if your considering voting a comment up then this is a nessacity.Above every Game comment is the person's rating of the game, that way will cut done on comments that just say:4/108/10and so on, that way we get a better idea of why the games is rated that way.

That's a good idea. Some people just put ok and I don't know if they liked the game or not.

That would be a good idea. We can tell what a person rated the game and get rid of comments like 6/10 or 10/10
