Sharks Spotted Heading Towards Grand Isle [VIDEO]
A large number of sharks were spotted in the Gulf of Mexico as they headed back towards Grand Isle, La. after migrating for the winter.
A large number of sharks were spotted in the Gulf of Mexico as they headed back towards Grand Isle, La. after migrating for the winter.
I've never seen anything like this! A shark eating frenzy on the shore of North Carolina.
Oh YEAH! It's Shark Week, not a good time to be a seal. LOL! We found a great "Shark Week" drinking game for you, but be warned it will make you forget what happened on the show and leave you feeling like you got hit by a shark. Here are the rules that the FW put together. Check them out, and lets play.
If you're just now emerging from a deep slumber and have no idea what's going on in the world, here's an FYI: one of the greatest weeks of the year is upon us. (Cue the 'Jaws' theme song.) Happy Shark Week, shark fans!
There's nothing quite like a refreshing dip in the ocean to cool off during the hot summer months.
Who needs enemies when you've got friends like these! Remember that saying? This video is a perfect example of when its time to get new friends. Your "friends" are supposed to "have your back", not push you in the back - especially into shark infested waters.
Do you remember as a kid when your Mother would say: "Don't tap the glass on the fish tank," then the follow up: "Would YOU like it if some one tapped on your house?" Well this is why you should always listen to Mommy, lol.
I'm not exactly sure why people made a drinking game for shark week, but if it makes for a fun night (or week) out with the friends, I say go for it! The only downside is that you will probably have a pretty bad headache in the morning. There is only two rules for shark week though: You have to pay attention - and you MUST be ready to put a few beverages down the pipe.
Having just come back from the beach, the one thing that is always in the back of my mind while in the gulf and/or ocean is, sharks!!! You can't help but think about the possibility of a shark watching you from under water, and just thinking if you/me will be it's next meal.

- Witness 6 is a man who lived near where the shooting took place and told Sanford police he saw a black man on top of a lighter-skinned man "just throwing down blows on the guy, MMA-style," and that the man getting beat up was the one calling for help.
But three weeks later when speaking with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, he was no longer sure. "I truly can't tell who, after thinking about it, was yelling for help just because it was so dark out on that sidewalk," he said.
The man also said while he was positive that "the black guy was on top," he could no longer be sure Martin was throwing punches or simply trying to restrain Zimmerman.
- Witness 2, who is a young woman, initially spoke with Sanford police four days after the shooting. "I saw two guys running," she said. "Couldn't tell you who was in front, who was in behind." She said moments later she saw a fistfight: "Just fists. I don't know who was hitting who."
Nearly a month later when interviewed again, this time by the FDLE, her story had changed. She said she remembered catching only a glimpse of a single person running. "I couldn't tell you if it was a man, a woman, a kid, black, or white. I couldn't tell you because it was dark and because I didn't have my contacts on or glasses. … I just know I saw a person out there."
- Witness 13, who talked with Zimmerman in the moments after the shooting, didn't alter his account as much as he added to it. He initially told local police that Zimmerman told him that Martin "was beating up on me, so I had to shoot him," and that Zimmerman asked the man to call his wife and let him know what happened.
About a month later, the witness went into much great detail about Zimmerman's demeanor. Zimmerman's tone, according to the witness, was "not like 'I can't believe I just shot someone!'—it was more like, 'Just tell my wife I shot somebody …,' like it was nothing."
- A young mother identified as Witness 12 didn't give a recorded interview to Sanford police, but she did sit down with an FDLE agent more than three weeks after the shooting. She said she saw two people on the ground immediately after the shooting, but that she couldn't say whether it was Zimmerman or Trayvon on top. Six days later, however, she was sure it was Zimmerman.
"I know after seeing the TV of what's happening, comparing their sizes, I think Zimmerman was definitely on top because of his size," she said.

Rattlesnakes Thrive in Iowa Prairie
WESTFIELD, Iowa – While some treat snakes with revulsion, the Nature Conservancy has nothing but respect for the prairie rattlesnakes that slither through the tall grasses just south of town.
"While they are venomous, they do play a role in the overall system," said Susanne Hickey, Loess Hills project director for the Nature Conservancy, a private, nonprofit preservation group.
As many as 150 adult snakes roam a Nature Conservancy reserve in the 3,050-acre Broken Kettle Grasslands, Iowa's largest contiguous slice of native prairie.
It's the easternmost range of a snake that's found extensively west of the Missouri River and it's believed to be the only place they live in Iowa, a state not usually associated with harboring rattlers.
"Most people just about call you a liar when you tell them about the snakes," said Ed Schoenfelder, who farms just north of the Broken Kettle reserve. "But they're here."
The Conservancy bought the land in the early 1990s to protect the grasses. While checking the property, staffers found the snakes, Hickey said.
"They feed on rodents and there are things that eat them," she said. "They're a critical part of the prairie system and we're trying to protect the whole complement of what's there."
Recently, the Conservancy added 15 acres to protect the snake's habitat from development and provide a buffer between the reserve and adjacent farms. The organization doesn't want housing or farming encroaching on the snake's habitat – or the snake encroaching in areas where humans live.
Neither is particularly good for the other.
"We're trying to mitigate the negative interaction between snakes and people," said Scott Moats, who manages the Broken Kettle area.
"Some people wanted to build a house up here," Moats added while standing on a ridge that offered a view across the Big Sioux River into South Dakota. "It would have been built right on the hibernarium. We definitely didn't want that."
Still, that interaction happens. Schoenfelder's farmhouse sits at the base of the Broken Kettle hills and he runs cattle on land he rents from the Conservancy.
Working among the snakes has become a way of life for the 58-year-old farmer, who has lived on the property since he was an infant.
"We've had them on our front step," Schoenfelder said. "A lot of times they'll surprise you. But when fall comes and it turns cold, you know they've pretty well disappeared. Then about the first of May, you've got to start watching out again."
A prairie rattler once took up residence in a stack of hay bales on Schoenfelder's farm, apparently finding plenty of mice on which to feed. When it came time to breed, the snake moved on.
"They are pretty docile animals if you leave them alone," said Schoenfelder, who has never been bitten by one of the snakes. "They're here, I'm here, I guess I more or less put up with them. When night comes it's their time to travel, so I just go to the house and let them have the outside."
Prairie rattlesnakes, also known as the western rattler, are 35 to 45 inches long and require large blocks of prairie because they can travel 5 to 6 miles from their hibernation dens. Their diet includes rodents, birds and ground-nesting bird eggs.
They inject their prey with venom through fangs, then swallow it.
While the prairie rattler's bite is painful, the snake is too small to be fatal to humans who seek treatment, scientists say. Livestock often are bitten by prairie rattlesnakes, but most survive, although Schoenfelder said he once lost a calf to a snake bite.
Many times, in what's called a dry bite, a snake won't even inject venom into a human, said Dan Fogell, the herpetologist for the Nature Conservancy.
"They have complete control over when they inject venom," Fogell said. "If they're not striking a food item, they're usually not expending venom. It takes a lot of energy to produce venom and they won't waste it on something that's not food.
"A snake that would bite would have to be poked and prodded a lot."
Fogell, who teaches at Southeast Community College in Lincoln, Neb., estimates there are 120 to 150 adult prairie rattlers at Broken Kettle. He has tagged about 60 with a microchip that enables him to track the snakes. Fogell reads the microchip by passing an electronic scanner over the snake after catching it with a stick that has a clamp on the end.
The snakes live at the northern end of the Loess Hills, a line of silty bluffs the wind along the Missouri River valley on Iowa's western border. At Broken Kettle, the tallgrass prairie of the east mixes with the drier western prairie, perfect habitat for rattlers.
"If you walk around enough, you'll encounter several in a few days," Fogell said.
The only time Fogell saw a prairie rattler anywhere else in Iowa was three years ago in Palo Alto County in northern Iowa. He figures it was carried there in a load of hay or maybe in some pipe.
"It was just a fluke animal," he said.
Two other types of rattlesnakes live in Iowa. Timber rattlers are found in the northeast among the Mississippi River bluffs and there's a small population near Winterset in central Iowa, Fogell said. The massasuaga or swamp rattler lives in the Sweet Marsh Wildlife Management Area in Bremer County, also in northeast Iowa.
But for the prairie rattlesnake, Broken Kettle is lair sweet lair.
"Snakes really creep me out," Moats said. "But I like these snakes."

The subject of Ghosting has always been close to my heart. Mostly because it's happened to me before.
For those who are lucky enough to have never been ghosted, let's let the internet's wisest information centre – urbandictionary.com – break it down for you:
Disclaimer: Apparently there are heaps of different definitions of Ghosting. Some of them are gross. Search at your own peril.
Ghosting: The act of suddenly ceasing all communication with someone the subject is dating, but no longer wishes to date. This is done in hopes that the ghostee will just "get the hint" and leave the subject alone, as opposed to the subject simply telling them he/she is no longer interested.
So, yeah. You've probably heard of this before. Or know someone it's happened to. Or (and I'm kind of judging you here), you've ghosted someone else.
I've been ghosted, and it sucks. The most recent time was Perth Boy. After texting daily for six months, and exchanging a plethora of x-rated messages (and a couple of x-rated nights), I was ghosted on the same weekend that he finally came back to Melbourne. The ghosting also came with a side order of deletion from the only social media he had – Snapchat (classy, I know). Perth Boy should have said something: of course, he's entitled to change his mind, but after six months of something between dating and relationship land, and planning to go on another date that very weekend, he owed me more than silence.
But how much do I owe someone else? Enter Richie*
We had two nice dates. He's a nice kisser. We talked about nice things. He held my hand, which was nice. But I didn't feel any passion, any spark. My brain (above or below the belt) never said YOU WANT THAT.
That's when the temptation to ghost crept in. He asked if I wanted to go on date #3, and I knew that I didn't. I also knew that I didn't want to tell him that, because that also sucks a whole bunch. Call it rejectors remorse. I've been on the receiving end enough to know that I never want to make someone else feel that way.
But where do I go from here? Is it necessary, after two dates, to send someone the 'I'm sorry, I'm not interested' message? Or is ghosting a completely valid option when you haven't even made it to three dates? (For all those opting to ghost, DO NOT add the person you're dating on Facebook. Ghosting and posting don't mix).
I ended up doing what all reasonable adults would do in my position: bent the truth to make myself sound busier than what I am (mature, I know). More than anything, I felt like I needed to buy time to figure out what my next move will be. I still don't know what I'll say if/when Richie follows up, but I know that I'll have a whole lot of trouble sleeping at night if I become a ghoster.
…Wait, does this make me a Ghostbuster? Heck yeah!

Re: Renting Kayaks
Good question, sometimes you could find people near the Malecon of Progreso renting equipment, sometimes they rent boats.
Well, I found this website from somebody in Merida, they actually rent kayaks:
If the previous clues don't work for you, I can think of two more ideas:
Idea No. 1 - Email the guys of http://www.ecoyuc.com/ they have kayak tours, they rent bikes as well, they might find interesting the kayak rental business when you let them know your needs.
Idea No. 2 - Drop an email to the ex-patriate community, try www.meridainsider.com I am pretty sure somebody there will know or maybe will be willing to rent their own boats. Most of this friends live near the beach either in Progreso, Chelem, Chuburna, Chicxulub, etc...
Good luck!!!

Re: Renting Kayaks
There are a couple of kayak rental places in progreso - I don't know if they would rent them long-term, but you can always ask! One is just west of the intersection of the highway to Merida and the coast road. Another is east of town, just at the last turn-off into Progreso from the coast road. You might also check with Marina Silcer in Chicxulub.

A pair of Waterloo High School graduates -- Dylan Hemmer and Weston Liefer -- never missed a day of school the last 13 years -- from kindergarten all the way through high school.
"I'm glad I made it all the way, and I actually did it," Dylan said, "but I'm glad I don't have to go to school anymore."
Dylan, 18, said he never got sick and doctor appointments were made around his school schedule.
"I had no reason not to go to school," he said.
His mother, Chris Hemmer, said Dylan did it all on his own.
"His goal was to be able to make it all the way through school without missing a day," she said. "His pride and joy was to be able to tell people I've got dedication and commitment."
Dylan first attended school at Ss. Peter and Paul Catholic School in Waterloo. He transferred to Rogers Elementary School in Waterloo during his fourth-grade year and then went on to Waterloo Junior High and Waterloo High School.
Dylan's perfect attendance was recognized at the Waterloo High graduation May 25.
Classmate Weston Liefer, 18, was also honored for perfect attendance at the graduation. Like Dylan, Weston never missed a day of school.
He also ran track and cross country and is a published author of "A Spartan's Journey: The First Strike." Weston works part-time at Schneider's Quality Meats.
Weston, the son of Curt and Shawn Liefer of Waterloo, will start at the University of Mississippi later this month.
Shawn Liefer said her son's perfect attendance record shows his dedication. "It was a goal that he set in kindergarten," she said. "I think it says a lot about how he sets a goal and then attains them."
Chris Hemmer is also proud of her son's accomplishment.
"It's a lot more rare than good grades," she said. "To me, it should be recognized."
In July, Dylan starts vocational school at the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute in Orlando, Fla. He's enrolled in the Harley-Davidson Technician Program, which runs 66 weeks.
"I've always liked messing with my hands on little engines," said Dylan, who currently works at a skateboard shop in Waterloo.
When Dylan heads off to school, it will be the first time he and his twin brother Devin Hemmer are apart for an extended period of time.
Devin, this fall, will attend Illinois College in Jacksonville, where he will play football.
"They are definitely going in two different directions," their mother Chris Hemmer said.
Unlike his twin, Devin Hemmer did not have a perfect attendance record.
Their father is Scott Hemmer and older brother is Kyle Hemmer, a graduate of Ranken Technical College. The family lives in Waterloo.
"I'm the first one in my family to leave the state for college," Dylan said.

'Long-pending dispute between legal heirs of Moazam Jah and education society led to attacks'
HYDERABAD: The city police on Friday arrested six members of a gang that was allegedly responsible for the series of attacks on some members of the Sultan-ul-Uloom Education Society.
The long-pending dispute between the legal heirs of Moazam Jah and the education society over 24 acres of the land, located on Road no. 3 in Banjara Hills, worth crores of rupees, led to the attacks, the police said.
Plot hatched
Commissioner's Task Force DCP V.B. Kamalasan Reddy said the accused, Shujath Ali and Faisal Ali, intervened in the dispute supporting Fatima Fauzia, one of the legal heirs of Moazam Jah.
Having tried in vain to negotiate, the duo hatched a plot to eliminate some members of the society.
They hired Najaf Ali, already involved in several crimes in Shahalibanda police station area, and others to carry out the plan.
Mustafa, a member of the gang, first attacked Nissar Ahmed, a society member, at Banjara Hills on October 27. To create an alibi, Shujath Ali and Faisal Ali went to Maldives during this period.
Later, several attempts were made to attack the society's vice-chairman, Zaffar Javeed.
The gang attacked Javeed at Adarshnagar Colony and his friend, Qayyum Khan, who tried to rescue the former on January 4.
On a tip-off, the police caught Syed Shujath Ali, 56, Syed Faisal Ali, 37, Syed Najaf Ali, 33, Mazhar Ali Razvi, 24, K. Sameer Reddy, 49, and Syed Karar Hussain, 30, at Trimulgherry. A car, a bike, four daggers and 11 mobile phones were seized from them.

John Witherspoon
You probably remember John Witherspoon as Ice Cube's (Craig's) outrageously funny, dog-catching dad in New Line Cinema's smash urban trilogy Friday, Next Friday & Friday After Next, or as "Pops" on the long-running syndicated sitcom The Wayans Brothers…or as Spoon on NBC's The Tracy Morgan Show. One thing's for sure… once you've seen Witherspoon you completely understand why he has earned the reputation as one of America's funniest dads.
His scene-stealing roles in Boomerang, Little Nicky, House Party, Vampire in Brooklyn, and I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, made him one of the most memorable funny men in America. Not only does Witherspoon's work span over four decades to include blockbuster movies, hit-television shows, commercials, and top-rated music videos, but he's coined his own catch phrases…as in…"Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!" and "You Gotta Co-ordinate!"
The Orange County Register describes the comedian/actor as being in a class of his own. "Witherspoon is one of those performers who doesn't need a funny line to be funny. Just standing there in a truculent posture with a suspicious look, he is funny and enlivens every scene he's in." The Detroit-bred comic has proven that he is a Hollywood mainstay and continues to land coveted spots in some of America's favorite movies and television shows. Witherspoon continues to tour around the country with his wildly popular stand-up show and recently launched The John Witherspoon Collection---a complete line of humorous greeting cards called Spoon Cards.

Helping children with learning differences become life-long learners is the mission of the 21st century special needs school. Generations ago these children were left to fend for themselves. Because learning was such a difficult, frustrating experience, many children with learning differemces simply gave up and dropped out of school. But the 21st century special needs schools have highly trained, well-qualified and experieced teachers who have committed themselves to teaching students with a wide variety of learning differences.

An integrated programme for the conservation of river Ganga with an outlay of Rs 2,037 crores has been proposed by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in his maiden budget today. Jaitley said the Ganga Conservation Mission called "Namami Gange" is being launched because a substantial amount of money has been spent in the conservation and improvement of the river, but that has not yielded desired results because of lack of concerted efforts by the stakeholders.
To harness the enthusiasm of the NRI community towards the conservation of the river Ganga, an 'NRI Fund for Ganga' will be set up which will finance special projects, he said. A sum of Rs 100 crore has been set aside for Ghat development and beautification of the river front at Kedarnath, Haridwar, Kanpur, Varanasi, Allahabad, Patna and Delhi in the current financial year since river fronts and Ghats are not only places of rich historical heritage but many of these are sacred, he said.
The budget also contains the first ever effort to link the rivers across the country with the Finance Minister setting aside a sum of Rs 100 crore in the current budget to expedite the preparation of Detailed Project Reports as a serious move in this direction, he said.
Arun Jaitley allots Rs 2,037 crore under 'Namami Ganga' project to boost integrated Ganga development project
The River Ganga is the fifth most populated river in the world. According to a 2012 parliamentary committee report, in the last three decades, around Rs 40,000 crore has been spent on cleaning and conserving the river. However, it continues to be polluted with sewage, industrial waste and carcasses.Read more

From a college campus to a seedy back alley, the best way to stay protected is to wrap it in rubber ... your foot, that is. DC's Airbag runs from the heel through the arch of the Men's Command RM LTD Skate Shoe to add lightweight cushion, but it's the extra rubber around the toe that sets it apart from the rest. Your risk of trading bodily fluids with a steel rail or concrete stair is greatly reduced with DC's soft Dynamic Grip Technology rubber around the toe and at the ollie spot. Factor in DC's super-tacky 'pill pattern' sole and you don't have to fear an accidental-mating with an inanimate object.

The title of this game makes no sense, shouldn't it be Ms. Splosion Woman? If they wanted to add that "man", why not call her Mrs. Splosion Man. That would make more sense since she'd technically be Mr. Splosion Man's wife, thus the "man" at the end would be okay. Sigh, I'm over-thinking this, see the trailer below.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — A loan program that was supposed to lend as much as $40 million to struggling homeowners and businesses in this cash-strapped resort city has given out nothing and has instead led to a federal lawsuit. The company is partially owned by relatives of a former Langford aide, The Associated Press found. The company used most of the city money to buy a finance firm in Tennessee that has since had management of more than $6.6 million in government-backed loans taken away by the Small Business Administration.
Average US rate on 30-year mortgage up to 3.87 pct.; 15-year at 3.11; highest levels this year
5 hours ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — Average long-term U.S. mortgage rates rose this week to their highest level so far this year as new data showed strength in the housing market. Rates have risen in recent weeks amid signs of improvement in the economy. A government report issued Tuesday showed that more Americans bought new homes in April, evidence that the stronger job market is propelling the housing market. New-home sales climbed 6.8 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 517,000.
Huge changes, challenges about to hit New Jersey casino market as Meadowlands plan advances
5 hours ago
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — The ground is moving underneath New Jersey's casino market, which is facing the biggest changes and challenges since it began 37 years ago. The proposal from Hard Rock and the Meadowlands comes as Atlantic City lost four of its 12 casinos last year. Speaking Thursday at the East Coast Gaming Congress, track owner Jeff Gural said the Meadowlands casino could provide $500 million a year in taxes, $200 million of which would go to help Atlantic City.
Signed contracts to buy US homes rise 3.4 percent in April, strongest level in 9 years
5 hours ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans signed contracts to buy homes in April at the fastest pace in nearly nine years, evidence that steady job growth is strengthening the real estate market. The upswing comes after a year of strong hiring, which has heightened demand to buy houses. Increased sales should help bolster the economy, but the surge could potentially destabilize the housing market. Inventories remain low, and rising home values are eclipsing wage growth.

Mine Safety Issues Examined as Search Continues For Coal Miners
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
JIM LEHRER: The latest on the search for the trapped miners in West Virginia. Jeffrey Brown spoke by phone a short time ago with Ann Scott Tyson. She's covering the story for The Washington Post.
JEFFREY BROWN: Ann, what kind of progress have rescuers been able to make today?
ANN SCOTT TYSON: There was discouraging news from the very start because of the high carbon monoxide levels that they discovered. A robot that they had hoped could move ahead more quickly of the rescue teams also became bogged down in mud.
And so far, the rescue teams themselves that are moving primarily on foot at a very slow and methodical pace have been the best way to try to reach these miners. And they have made steady progress but it has been slow.
JEFFREY BROWN: Do you know yet how far they've been able to get into the tunnel?
ANN SCOTT TYSON: As of earlier today when we had our last update, they were more than 10,000 feet in. By now, they could have made quite a bit further headway, depending on how much repairs of the ventilation system they had to make while they were moving ahead.
JEFFREY BROWN: Give us a sense of the scope of the rescue effort, if you would. How many teams are there? Where are they coming from? How much activity is there around you?
ANN SCOTT TYSON: There are about 14 teams, about 90 specialized mine rescuers at the latest count. They have brought in some drilling equipment to drill holes again to send sensors down that can measure the air and also cameras down to look around and to try to — and microphones — to try to hear any signs of life so it's an extensive effort, but it has not yet involved any huge equipment to drill larger holes because they simply felt they could reach it more quickly by going through the mines because they have not found the debris or massive destruction that might have been caused — mainly just destruction of the air vents, of the air ventilation system.
JEFFREY BROWN: You mentioned the first hole that had been drilled and then company officials said they were going to drill two more holes. What can you tell us about those?
ANN SCOTT TYSON: Those two are in other areas. One is mainly a hole they have to drill so the rescuers can proceed beyond a certain point. The other was another place where they thought the miners might be located. It would give them a look at another area and another attempt to rescue — to reach these miners and gauge the quality of the air there.
JEFFREY BROWN: Ann, what is known about the trapped miners? How experienced are they, how familiar with this particular mine?
ANN SCOTT TYSON: They're very experienced. Nine of the thirteen have more than 30 years of experience, definitely not a rookie team in any sense as the mining officials put it.
However, I'm not sure about their familiarity with this mine. This mine, some of the miners I know, have only been working there for one or two years. Nevertheless, extensive mining experience from this group that includes several men in their 40s and 50s.
JEFFREY BROWN: And what can you tell us about their families who are awaiting word? Where are they? Has their mood changed during the day of activities?
ANN SCOTT TYSON: It certainly has. I think that the mood has become much more somber after this morning's learning of the highly toxic levels of carbon monoxide in the area at the head of the mine.
I think people are holding on to hope. They certainly don't want to give up. But they will acknowledge that in the back of their minds they have to brace for the worst.
And you know, they said to me, one woman said, you know, it's bad. The feeling is a very sad feeling. Some people, when told about these readings of the air this morning, broke down and cried. One woman at one point had to be taken away in an ambulance. So I think there's a desire to continue hope but I think people deep down are realistic about the sobering possibilities.
JEFFREY BROWN: We've been hearing today about some health and safety violations by this company. What can you tell us about its overall record?
ANN SCOTT TYSON: It has had safety violations. The company officials so far have said those do not rise to the threshold where mining authorities would shut down the mine. It did not rise to the threshold of imminent risk to the lives of miners.
Nevertheless, there have been serious safety issues involving methane levels and perhaps weaknesses of the roof of the mine as recently as the past year and recent months.
Since this company that is currently in charge took over in November, they say that they have made a lot of safety improvements, however.
JEFFREY BROWN: And finally, Ann, tell us what you expect to be happening or seeing over the next few hours there.
ANN SCOTT TYSON: I expect that the mine rescue teams may well reach the end of the mine and determine the fate of the miners. And there will be additional holes drilled. I expect those to be completed and they'll provide further information on what is there.
JEFFREY BROWN: All right. Ann Scott Tyson of The Washington Post, thanks very much.
ANN SCOTT TYSON: My pleasure.
JEFFREY BROWN: And I'm joined now live by an expert who oversaw mine safety in the 1990s for the U.S. Department of Labor during the Clinton Administration. Davitt McAteer is currently vice president for government affairs at Wheeling Jesuit University in Wheeling, West Virginia.
Mr. McAteer, welcome to you. Help us understand this rescue operation a bit. What makes it so difficult?
DAVITT McATEER: Well, the problem is that when the rescue teams go in, they must set up fresh air bases that ensure that there aren't more injuries or accidents to the rescuers themselves. And in order to do that, they start with the process by which they don oxygen masks or oxygen systems and try to take that forward until they can determine that the air is fresh and that they are protected.
They go some number of feet, typically 500 feet, and stop and set that new fresh air base up. Then the second team comes in and relieves the first team. And that team then moves forward in the next level. This is done in a very disciplined way in order to again prevent any second occurrence or any further problems from a safety and health standpoint for the rescuers themselves. But it is a very slow and tedious process.
Secondly, if there's any breaks in the ventilation systems in the mine itself, they will stop and fix those so that they have behind them, they bring their fresh air in essence brought along with them. And so they'll take the time to ensure that the ventilation system getting into the mine is repaired and is fixed.
JEFFREY BROWN: And what creates the dangerous gases that are there in the mine shaft?
DAVITT McATEER: The gases that have been most spoken of today are — is carbon monoxide. That can be created in a couple of ways. One is from the explosion itself or from a fire. And so you have to look at the samples that are taken to see what the levels of carbon monoxide are as well as other samples to see if there are any, quote, fire gases.
Those are gases that are created after the fire — after a fire occurs. We're not seeing any sign of the fire gases, which suggest that we don't have any active and strong fire. But we do have sufficient carbon monoxide to be of very high levels for three or four times the levels that are acceptable.
What that suggests is that you've gotten a — an explosion. And that explosion would create a carbon monoxide base. And then the ventilation system being disrupted as we think it is, as the reports have indicated, that system would then circulate this carbon monoxide inside the mine itself. And so we would have to guard against the carbon monoxide being inhaled by the mine rescue teams.
JEFFREY BROWN: Now, as we just heard, this was a fairly experienced crew that went in there. What kind of precautions would they have taken? What kind of training would they have had to do in a situation like this?
DAVITT McATEER: Well, the miners experienced in work would know to take certain basic precautions. There is a self-contained self-rescuer, an oxygen-generating breathing device that each miner has or is on the car that they're carrying.
And if they were close enough to get to those devices at the time of the explosion and could survive the explosion, then in fact they would be in a position to try and figure out a way to get to a fresh air base.
If they could learn that there was toxic air, they would try to go to a place that had fresh air in it and use some of the materials that were in the mine itself to barricade themselves into an area to try to hold the fresh air into the area until a rescue occurs.
They would have had to have tremendous amount of luck in all of these levels – first would be to survive the explosion; second, to be able to get to these devices; third, to be able to find the materials to barricade themselves in. And that's why I think that most people are pessimistic about the outcome. But miners have in the past been very resourceful and have done things that have been remarkable so we don't give up hope.
JEFFREY BROWN: We have, of course, just heard about some of the violations that this company has been hit with over the last year. How unusual is that? How good is the oversight of mining companies?
DAVITT McATEER: Well, we've heard that there's been a number of violations both the previous years and in this year, and both at the state level and at the federal levels. Those numbers of citations have increased, in some cases, increased dramatically. In one instance at the federal level they've more than doubled. That is a real problematic sign from a safety standpoint.
And the second factor is that these types — the types of violations that we're talking about are substantive violations. They are, for example, violations of the roof control. They're violations of the emergency escape ways. They're not only the basic violations but they're substantive violations.
That should have sent a signal to management as well as to the regulatory agency that you need to have revamp of the health and safety system that you've got in place because what it is suggesting to you is that the system that you have in place is not working.
And, unfortunately, the fact that you've had an explosion also suggests that the system that was in place was inadequate. And any time you have an explosion in the mine, it says that it was grossly inadequate.
JEFFREY BROWN: All right. Davitt McAteer, Thank you very much.

The listing description was completely accurate, and the place could not have been in a better location! It was right downtown, completely walkable from everything. Steve was fantastic and super accommodating. Could not have asked for a better time in Austin! My friends and I hope to return soon.
Some of our family stayed at Steve's apartment while in Austin for our wedding weekend. They thought the place was clean and very nice and conveniently located within walking distance of most downtown attractions.
Steve promised a 5 star experience and delivered all 5 stars. What a place! The location alone is worth the stay. It truly located within walking distance of all things wonderful in downtown Austin. The inside of the apartment was great as well. All the beds were very comfortable. Steve provided bedding and towels for all the beds (four of us). The common area was very open and a great place to relax between outings. Also having two bathrooms with showers made life easier in the mornings when everyone was getting ready. Though we didnt use the kitchen that much it was nice having the option to put leftovers away in the fridge. If you have a group of people coming to Austin to check out the sites and night life you must stay at this place!
Location. Location. Location. Could not have asked for a better location for our trip. But with the GREAT location, comes noises...
Steve responded promptly to all of my questions. The condo's location was fabulous; right on the express bus from the airport and within walking distance to all downtown activities. It was also came in handy to have a parking spot available. The condo was clean and there were maps, books and useful information about Austin. It was nice that there were some supplies provided such as bottled water, coffee, tea, shampoo... All told it was a great experience and I would highly recommend Steve and his condo to others.
Location PLUS!!! Steve's place was so convenient to everything! Steve gave great directions and instructions prior to our arrival. We had no problem finding it and getting access to the property. Everything was clean and modern. We had 4 adults and it was very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again if visiting Austin.
There were 5 of us who were all attending a conference at the Austin Convention center. It was a perfect location! We were exhibitors and were able to roll all our stuff right across the street. Having a free designated parking spot was really helpful as well since street parking is not easy to find and not free. The apartment is fully equipped and clean. When we ran short of Tp and paper towels, Steve was very prompt to have more sent over. He responded quickly when I needed to contact him. The front bedroom can be noisy as it is on the street but the back bedroom is very quiet. All the rooms have nice big closets with a walk-in off the master bath. There is no elevator but it is only one flight of stairs and worth it to be in such a prime location!

Truckers wary of expanded ban
More News from Maricar Brizuela
With just five days to go before the proposed implementation of a modified truck ban, Metro mayors and truck operators have yet to agree on the guidelines for the scheme which is aimed at easing traffic during the holiday season.
In a council session held in Mandaluyong City on Wednesday, members of the Metro Manila Council gave truck operators and port users until Monday to submit their recommendations in addition to the proposed alternative routes they submitted earlier.
In the expanded ban being pushed by the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), trucks can use major thoroughfares only from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. starting on Dec. 3 until Dec. 26. Under the present setup, the ban is in effect only on weekdays, from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
"The council has already talked about approving this proposal. However, this is still subject to the submission of the truckers associations of their proposed alternative routes to and from the port area in Manila and the recommendation of the window hours for the holiday season," a member of the council, Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista, said.
During the meeting, representatives from the Confederation of Truckers Association of the Philippines and the Integrated North Harbor Truckers Association expressed their concern over the possible adverse effects of the expanded truck ban on their business.
In a statement, another group said the traffic scheme could lead to additional costs on their part. "Time is gold … and we think that this expanded truck ban will result in [the] cancellation of orders by our cargo customers because we will not be able to deliver on time," the Philippine Exporters Confederation Inc. said.
Officials of other trucker associations echoed the sentiment as they noted that the implementation of the expanded truck ban in May, when the Asian Development Bank meeting was held in Manila, resulted in major delays in cargo deliveries. They told the mayors council that "there was an overflow of goods at the port area and it took port users and truck owners more than a week to free up the bulk."
Bautista and MMDA Chair Francis Tolentino, meanwhile, expressed optimism that the two sides would be able to reach an agreement on Monday.

A 35-year-old San Diego man shot to death in Skyline was identified Thursday as Jason Riley, San Diego police said.
Riley was standing on a sidewalk with a group of people on Skyline Drive near South Meadowbrook Drive about 10:10 p.m. Monday when another group of people walked up and someone opened fire, homicide Lt. Mike Hastings said.
When officers arrived, they found Riley suffering from at least one gunshot wound. He died shortly afterward at a hospital.
Witnesses said the assailant's group possibly drove off in an older four-door vehicle.

Male body found washed ashore mile north of U.S.-Mexico border
imperial beach
A male body was found Thursday morning in Imperial Beach after it washed ashore about a mile north of the U.S.-Mexico border.
The Sheriff's Department was called about the body in Border Field State Park on Monument Road about 8:45 a.m., said Lt. Kevin Menzies.
The body was too deteriorated to immediately determine the age or race, Sgt. William Uelen said.
The county Medical Examiner's Office is investigating the cause of death, Uelen said.
Mexican newspaper El Mexicano reported that authorities are investigating whether the body is one of the two teenagers who went missing in the ocean earlier this month.
On July 15, a 13-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl were swimming in Mexico about 300 yards offshore when authorities said they got caught in a rip current.
Imperial Beach lifeguards helped search for the teens with Mexican officials.

Nutella shortage possible: Social Media Chaos
It's as if the apocalypse were upon us. A Nutella shortage has been tapped as one of several possibilities this upcoming season as a frost in Turkey has devastated - so to speak - their hazelnut output. Hazelnuts are also used in Cadbury's Whole Nut bar, fine round chocolates Ferrero Rocher, and the extremely strangely titled "Toffifay."
