Homeland Security Inspired by Jews
Plus, Yids make crafty little guards
Jewish-run private security companies are a hot topic on both sides of the Atlantic this week (if, of course, you use local Jewish papers as your barometer of hotness). On our side of the pond, the Department of Homeland Security is reportedly using a national Jewish security network as a model for the kind of infrastructure it hopes other faith communities will adopt. The four-year-old Secure Community Network connects Jewish institutions with 96 Homeland Security liaisons around the country.
In London, meanwhile, two Jewish brothers who've been running a private security firm since 2004 say that their industry is thriving in the battered economy, since hard times mean more crime. And, according to younger brother Nick Conn, it's a great field for small, cunning Jews: "People think that security is about being big and tough. This is not the case. For example, when you are securing a rich Arab who has come over here, being really big and dressed in a suit will just draw attention to the person you are guarding." Not only that, but older bro Adam Conn says that guarding bar mitzvah parties against unwanted "kids and gate crashers" is a growing field. Score!

Several Mississippi towns will have until February to adopt new FEMA flood maps, which reduced elevations in many towns. Adoption of the maps -- the first updates since 1984 -- is required if the towns want to take part in the National Flood Insurance Program, which could be beneficial to residents who might not be able to get private flood insurance. Some towns have already adopted the new maps.

ROM History Wars – Heavyweights Battle Over Canadian Identity
It was another full house in Samuel Hall/Currelly Gallery on the Wednesday evening March 7 as the ROM History Wars debate centred on the place of French language, culture and people in Canadian society and governance. As the format allows a straw poll of hands up in the air, the measure of the audience was taken at the beginning of the debate and after to see if our speakers had moved anyone on their views of a bilingual Canada. The results of both votes showed a significant number of people who were and remained undecided. Not surprising when considering such a complex issue.

I replaced this same ice maker a month before, if that long, using a part I found $40 cheaper from another site. Needless to say you get what you pay for, the existing part was not exactly the same as the original and leaked water all over the place. I removed the not so old icemaker by removing the flapper door and removing the harness cover then pulling out the existing icemaker followed by disconnecting the wiring harness. Now with the old icemaker removed I removed the bottom tray/shield from the existing ice maker by removing the three screws from it then attached the tray to the bottom of the new ice maker from PartSelect which did not come with the bottom tray/shield. Finally, I executed the removal process in reverse order to install the new ice maker.

On Aug. 19, the ribbon was cut to officially open Hesby Drive.
While construction is ongoing, a ceremony was held this week celebrating the new Hesby Drive, a road leading into the Galion City Schools' campus.
Roy Benson, trustee of the Phillip Hesby Estate, pointed out that Hesby had also previously donated 28 acres of land a number of years ago when the Galion City School campus was first proposed.
"I think this a fairly large step in the right direction for the city," observed Mayor Tom O'Leary. The drive creates another entrance and exit for the school, but it is hoped that it will alleviate traffic on St. Rt. 598 along Portland Way.
"Hopefully it'll cut down a lot of congestion," remarked President of the Galion City School Board, Dennis Long
The road is also very convenient to those who are affected by the Portland Way North bridge being closed, as the public is allowed to access all of Hesby Drive until the construction is complete. After that, the part of the road that connects to the school will be gated off, allowing entrance only for school purposes. There are plans to possibly put businesses, such as fast food restaurants, on the surrounding land.

Johnny Manziel wins Heisman Trophy
He's Johnny Best in Football now - and a freshman, at that.
Heisman voting
|Name, Position, School
|Points (First)
|Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M
|2,029 (474)
|Manti Te'o, LB, Notre Dame
|1,706 (321)
|Collin Klein, QB, Kansas State
|894 (60)
|Marqise Lee, WR, USC
|207 (19)
|Braxton Miller, QB, Ohio State
|144 (3)
Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel became the first newcomer to win the Heisman Trophy, taking college football's top individual prize Saturday night after a record-breaking debut.
Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o finished a distant second in the voting and Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein was third. In a Heisman race with two nontraditional candidates, Manziel broke through the class ceiling and kept Te'o from becoming the first purely defensive player to win the award.
''That barrier's broken now,'' Manziel said. ''It's starting to become more of a trend that freshmen are coming in early and that they are ready to play. And they are really just taking the world by storm.''
None more than the guy they call Johnny Football.
Manziel drew 474 first-place votes and 2,029 points from the panel of media members and former winners. Te'o had 321 first-place votes and 1,706 points and Klein received 60 firsts and 894 points.
''I have been dreaming about this since I was a kid, running around the backyard pretending I was Doug Flutie, throwing Hail Marys to my dad,'' he said after hugging his parents and kid sister.
Flutie was one of many Heisman winners standing behind Manziel as he gave his speech on stage at the Best Buy Theater in Times Square.
''I always wanted to be in a fraternity,'' Manziel said later. ''Now I get to be in the most prestigious one in the entire world.''
Manziel was so nervous waiting for the winner to be announced, he wondered if the television cameras could see his heart pounding beneath his navy blue pinstripe suit. But he seemed incredibly calm after, hardly resembling the guy who dashes around the football field on Saturday. He simply bowed his head, and later gave the trophy a quick kiss.
CLASSIC HEISMAN RACESTake a look at the closest races of the past 30 years.
''It's such an honor to represent Texas A&M, and my teammates here tonight. I wish they could be on the stage with me,'' he said with a wide smile, concluding his speech like any good Aggie: ''Gig' em.''
Just a few days after turning 20, Manziel proved times have truly changed in college football, and that experience can be really overrated.
For years, seniors dominated the award named after John Heisman, the pioneering Georgia Tech coach from the early 1900s. In the 1980s, juniors started becoming common winners. Tim Tebow became the first sophomore to win it in 2007, and two more won it in the next two seasons.
Adrian Peterson had come closest as a freshman, finishing second to Southern California quarterback Matt Leinart in 2004. But it took 78 years for a newbie to take home the big bronze statue.
''It doesn't matter anymore,'' he said.
Peterson was a true freshman for Oklahoma. As a redshirt freshmen, Manziel attended school and practiced with the team last year, but did not play in any games.
He's the second player from Texas A&M to win the Heisman, joining John David Crow from 1957, and did so without the slightest hint of preseason hype. Manziel didn't even win the starting job until two weeks before the season.
Who needs hype when you can fill-up a highlight reel the way Manziel can?
With daring runs and elusive improvisation, Manziel broke 2010 Heisman winner Cam Newton's Southeastern Conference record with 4,600 total yards, led the Aggies to a 10-2 in their first season in the SEC and orchestrated an upset at then-No. 1 Alabama in November that stamped him as legit.
FS NEXT ALL-AMERICA TEAMSJohnny Manziel, Manti Te'o, Brian Kelly earned FOXSportsNext honors. See the full teams here.
He has thrown for 3,419 yards and 24 touchdowns and run for 1,181 yards and 19 more scores to become the first freshman, first SEC player and fifth player overall to throw for 3,000 yards and run for 1,000 in a season.
''You can put his numbers up against anybody who has ever played the game,'' Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin said.
Manziel has one more game this season, when the No. 10 Aggies play Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl on Jan. 4.
As for the Heisman, Manziel said he'd like to keep it right next to his bed.
''But I'm in college. A lot of people come through the house. We live in a college neighborhood. It might not be a good idea. If I can get a case that's indestructible, locked and looks pretty good, we'll see where I keep it,'' he said.
The resume alone fails to capture the Johnny Football phenomena. At 6-foot-1 and 200 pounds, Manziel is master of the unexpected, darting here and there, turning plays seemingly doomed to failure into touchdowns.
Take, for example, what he did in the first quarter against the Crimson Tide. Manziel took a shotgun snap, stepped up in the pocket as if he was about to take off on another made scramble and ran into the back a lineman. On impact, Manziel bobbled the ball, caught it with his back to the line of scrimmage, turned, rolled the opposite direction and fired a touchdown pass - throwing across his body - to a wide-open receiver.
He might as well have been back in Kerrville, Texas, where he became a hill country star in high school.
His road to college stardom was anything but a clear path.
Manziel competed with two other quarterbacks to replace Ryan Tannehill as the starter this season, the Aggies' first in the SEC and first under Sumlin.
Manziel came out of spring practice as the backup, but became the starter in August.
Still, nobody was hailing him is the next big thing. Did Sumlin think he had a Heisman winner on his hands?
''No,'' he said emphatically, adding, ''Not this year.''
Then Manziel started playing and the numbers started piling up.
He also had some struggles against Florida in the season opener and in a home loss to LSU. The question was: Could he do his thing against a top-notch opponent?
The answer came in Tuscaloosa, Ala., on Nov. 10. Going into the matchup against the Crimson Tide, Manziel said he and his teammates heard a lot of doubters.
''You can't do this and you can't do that,'' he recalled Saturday at the podium
Manziel passed for 253 yards, ran for 92 and the Aggies beat the Tide 29-24. Klein had been the front-runner for most of the season, but Manziel surged after beating `Bama.
Still, Manziel was still something of a mystery man. Sumlin's rules prohibit freshmen from being available to the media. Manziel was off-limits, but not exactly silent.
COACHING CAROUSELPink slips have been handed out while other coaches have traded up. See who's been canned and who's stepping in
Manziel gave glimpses of himself on social media - including some memorable pictures of him dressed up as Scooby-Doo for Halloween with some scantily clad young women.
Before he became a celebrity, Manziel got himself into some serious trouble. In June, he was arrested in College Station after police said he was involved in a fight and produced a fake ID. He was charged with disorderly conduct and two other misdemeanors.
After the season, Texas A&M took the reins off Manziel and made him available for interviews, allowing him to tell his own tale.
Though in the end, his play said it all.

- National Disaster Recovery Framework - I was planning to write on this before I saw it mentioned by William Cumming on his blog and Claire Rubin on hers. I've had various drafts of this kicking around my desk for a while now and want to take a day or so to look through it before I say anything, but it is out there.
- Department of Homeland Security Authorization Act of 2011 (S.1546) - If you haven't seen this one it just means you're not an obsessive Congress-watcher. This is the authorization bill for DHS submitted by Sen. Lieberman. It is also the first of these in a long while, which makes it significant. There is a lot to digest here, especially in light of PPD-8 (something else I'd like to get to someday, since I've been heavily involved in implementation work locally) related to preparedness and response issues at the Federal level, disaster funding (obviously a hot topic), and a specific pet peeve of mine - the role of DHS Office of Health Affairs.

Corne Krige believes that Rodney So'oialo is not an adequate replacement for Richie McCaw.
So'oialo was today confirmed as captain for the first Test against the Springboks, but more pertinently, has been handed the responsibility of bossing the breakdown in the absence of formidable openside flank, McCaw.
McCaw was injured in the second Test against England a fortnight ago and is set to miss the bulk of the Tri-Nations. So'oialo has very little experience in the role, playing predominantly as a No 8 for both the Hurricanes and All Blacks.
Former Springbok captain, Krige, was perplexed by the decision, admitting that he thought Chris Masoe would be the logical option. He believes the move gives the Springboks a significant edge at the breakdown – a facet of play that will be central to success.
"I thought it was just nothing talk when they were touting So'oialo as a possible openside. He's best position is clearly No 8 and I don't think his strength is playing towards the ball," Krige told keo.co.za.
"Masoe is far more suited to the role, has experience playing there and provides you with a solid ball carrying option as well. I think the Springboks will be smiling when they see this call. Perhaps [the All Blacks] were looking for a player that could provide them with another lineout option. But other than that I can't understand the decision.
"As far as McCaw goes, he's a massive loss from both a playing and leadership perspective. I'm not sure So'oialo commands the same respect."
So'oialo is the only seasoned Test player in a loose trio that features rookies Jerome Kaino and Adam Thomson. The Springboks, by contrast, are expected to field an experience trio of Schalk Burger, Juan Smith and Pierre Spies. Burger, widely recognised as one of the premier openside flankers in world rugby, will go head-to-head with So'oialo.
Krige, however, hopes that Ryan Kankowski, concussed in the Test against Italy two weeks ago, will recover in time to oust Spies.
"I think Kankowski has done enough in the Super 14 to earn a start ahead of Spies," he said. "Spies never really showed that much in the Incoming Tours and given the style of play [coach] Peter de Villiers has been speaking about it makes sense to have a eigthman like Kankowski. He also gives the team another option in the lineout."
In fact, Krige can't find a place for Spies in his match 22.
"I would use Luke Watson off the bench instead of Spies," he said. "Please understand that I think Spies can be phenomenal on his day, but Luke will provide a different dimension to the trio and ensures that there is a sustained threat at the breakdown. He has also shown the ability to offload in contact, which will be crucial if the Springboks are to play that high tempo style that's been spoken about."
However, while Krige thinks the battle of the back rows will be important in determining the winner, he pointed to the set phases as being the decisive facet of play.
"I think we'll trouble them at the lineouts which will give us a advantage and a mental edge, but I'm not convinced our scrum will stand up," he said.
"They've made a major mistake in leaving a strong scrummager like BJ Botha at home. I can't understand that and it wasn't very sharp. To take rookie props [Brian Mujati and Tendai Mtawarira] on the tour of New Zealand is questionable.
"If you are dominated in the lineouts you can put it down to the technical superiority of the opposition and you can circumvent that issue by changing certain tactics. But if you're being dominated in the scrums it has a major psychological impact because you're losing a one-on-one battle and are essentially being bullied and physically beaten.
"The All Blacks backline is dangerous at the best of times but with an attacking platform [if they dominate the scrums] they can be devastating. We'll have to work hard and smart there or we could be in trouble."

Andy Pasztor
Andy Pasztor is a journalist with the Wall Street Journal. He is the author of the 1995 book "When the Pentagon was for Sale: Inside America's Biggest Defense Scandal."
Journalism controversies[edit]
Burt Rutan[edit]
On February 24, 2010, Andy Pasztor wrote an article titled "Space Pioneer Burt Rutan Blasts New NASA Plan," claiming that Burt Rutan had written a letter to Congress sharply criticizing President Obama's plans to turn over portions of its human spaceflight program to commercial providers.[1] A couple days later Burt Rutan released a statement saying that "the WSJ chose to cherry-pick and misquote my comments to Cong Wolf." [2]
Immediately following SpaceX's inaugural launch of the Falcon 9 rocket, Andy Pasztor wrote in a WSJ article titled "SpaceX Illustrates Privatization Risk" on June 7, 2010 alleging that SpaceX claimed it would require $1 billion to build a launch escape system for its rocket, and that the company would likely require future assistance from US taxpayers.[3] When asked about this, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk responded saying:
- "Andy Pasztor's article in the Journal was, I'm sorry to say, rife with errors. He was off by a factor of ten on what it would cost SpaceX to develop a launch escape system. Also, under no circumstances would SpaceX be seeking a financing round from the taxpayers. That doesn't make any sense." [4]
Despite that statement by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, subsequently in 2011 and 2012, SpaceX did receive additional funding from U.S. taxpayers through NASA. In May 2011, it was revealed in a Government Accountability Office report, "Commercial Launch Vehicles: NASA Taking Measures to Manage Delays and Risks" [5] that starting in November 2011 SpaceX had, in addition to its award of $278 million,[6] been awarded $118 million for additional COTS risk reduction milestones, bringing the company's total COTS award to $396 million. In April 2011, SpaceX was awarded $75 million [7] as a participant in NASA's CCDev2.[8] In August 2012, NASA announced that, as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Integration Capability program, SpaceX was awarded $440 million.[9]

Whale shark found dead in Catanduanes village
VIRAC, Catanduanes—A dead baby whale shark, nearly 3.3 feet long and weighing between 200 and 250 kilograms, was found by four fishermen floating on Maqueda Channel near this island province on Friday.
Jorge Reyes, chair of the Municipal Agriculture and Fisheries Council, in a phone interview, said he had cautioned residents against slaughtering the dead fish, locally known as "butanding," which was found around 5 a.m.
He said Larry Tabuzo, one of the four fishermen who saw the dead fish, reported the find to village chair Gerrybel Bautista.
Juliet Araojo, officer in the provincial environment and natural resources office, said her office had advised the village council to wait for the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources before disposing of the whale shark.
Sightings of whale sharks are rare in waters surrounding Catanduanes although sea turtles regularly nest on some of its beaches.
In February 2012, a 10-ton whale was washed ashore in Cagdarao village in Panganiban town, facing the Pacific Ocean.

Awesome family Getaway
Was a fun place to stay family had a blast River in the backyard very peaceful a little hard to enter though. The porperty was well maintained except for the gas grill which needs to be replaced or burners need to be cleaned. Overall would recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway and very family friendly as well.
Cottage was great!
The cottage accommodated kids & grandkids easily. Enjoyed tv's in the bedrooms and the luxury of air conditioning. The jacuzzi was nice & relaxing. Very convenient location, close to town. Everyone enjoyed themselves. The only thing I could suggest to add is having wi-fi available. We hope to be back next year. Thanks Dave & June for the wonderful vacation!

How thoroughly has the Republican Party dominated the Democrats in Florida in recent decades?
So much so that the Democrats' gain of two seats in the state Senate last November represented the first time the party had gained seats in that body in 30 years.
Add the defeat of most of the constitutional amendments placed on the ballot by the GOP-led Legislature, the gain of five seats in the state House, the addition of four Democrats to the state's Congressional delegation (a net gain of two), and oh yeah, President Obama's unpredicted victory in the Sunshine State over Mitt Romney, and yes, you could say it's a new era in Florida for Democrats.
But reality bites. Those gains now give the GOP "just" a 76-44 advantage in the House, and a 26-14 edge in the Senate. And the Get Out The Vote effort led by the Obama For America (OFA) campaign, heralded nationally as the greatest ground game effort in U.S. politics, has left the state.
Trying to insure that 2014 will be more like 2012 — and not like the debacle that was 2010 — is the focus of party members in choosing their next party chair. The choice is between Hillsborough County's Alan Clendenin and Tallahassee resident Allison Tant.
Clendenin, 53, is a 20-year member of the Hillsborough County Democratic Executive Committee and serves as both a State and Democratic National Committeeman. This is not his first bid to lead the state party — he was a candidate for the office in 2010 when Karen Thurman stepped down after a rocky six years, but he dropped out when he was big-footed by former state Senator and 2006 gubernatorial candidate Rod Smith.
Now the only person standing in the way of Clendenin's dream is another candidate promoted by party insiders: 51-year-old Tallahassee lobbyist Tant, a late entrant who was prompted to run by political heavyweights Bill Nelson and Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
Not surprisingly, Clendenin is unimpressed.
"I'm really less concerned about what a couple of elected leaders believe," he told CL while sipping on a cup of coffee in Tampa's über-chic Oxford Exchange on New Year's Eve afternoon. "I'm more concerned about a vision for the party, and that's part of what I bring to this election, which is a voice for change. What those individuals bring to the party is a voice for the status quo."
Clendenin's theme is "Rebrand, Rebuild and Recruit," and he emphasizes that the party needs to change its top-down philosophy if it's to be competitive. And he says Democrats should not be blinded by the successes from last November.
"If you want the Florida Democratic Party to look like the Florida Democratic Party of 2010, I'm not your guy," he says, alluding to the shellacking that brought the state Rick Scott and Marco Rubio, among others. "If you believe the Florida Democratic Party needs to look a lot more like the OFA organization of 2012, then I'm your choice as FDP chair."
Clendenin says the key is to regionalize the party, giving more power to local Democratic executive committees, something OFA did by opening up dozens of local offices throughout the state. OFA also focused on what they called "sporadic voters," meaning those voters who fell into a targeted demographic but didn't traditionally come out and vote.
Two days after the 2012 election, outgoing party chair Rod Smith said the key to continued electoral success in Florida would be to focus on women, blacks, Latinos and young voters. "We just have to now keep the machinery in place and keep doing what we're doing, and not just walk away and say 'We had a great night' and it'll automatically come back to us next time," he told reporters on a conference call. "It won't."
But infrastructure requires money, which is why some Democrats are supporting Tant. "Allison is a proven fundraiser," says Rick Boylan, a state committeeman for Pinellas County. "And in all of my observation of state parties over the years, a requirement in order to be a successful fundraiser is to make sure that the elected officials are behind you, helping raise money."
Tant's stated agenda wasn't released until New Year's Day. It echoed much of Clendenin's designs, which he announced several months ago, such as empowering local Democratic groups and emphasizing candidate recruitment.
Although the race has fired up party members throughout the state, the electorate that will make the ultimate decision in Orlando on January 26 is extremely limited. The two committeepersons in each of the state's 67 counties get votes, as do heads of caucuses and elected officials. But the vote is weighted toward those counties with the greatest Democratic voter turnout in recent elections, which is why the big three South Florida counties (Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach) have by far the biggest influence. In sum, approximately 1,150 people will decide the race — out of 4.8 million registered Democrats in the state.

Promotes healthy joints Supports sleep patterns Supports inflammatory response Keeping the "Miracle" in CherriesMichelle's Miracle Tart Montmorency cherries are handled with tender loving care with our exclusive CherryChill Process and special packaging to deliver the full power of cherries to you. If you don't care for the flavor of pomegranate or acai juices, you will be pleasantly surprised by our powerfully delicious "cherry pie in a bottle". With Michelle's Miracle you are assured you will get all the "miracles" that nature put in cherries. USDA Test Results: Tart Cherries In April 2005 the Cherry Marketing Institute announced results of a recent research project funded by a U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development Grant that confirm the presence of powerful antioxidants, in exceptionally high amounts, in tart cherry products. ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity) levels were tested by Brunswick Laboratories in Wareham, Mass., and results showed that tart cherry concentrate delivers 12,800 ORAC units per 100 grams of concentrate. This is a significantly higher level than other fruits, including: prunes, blueberries and strawberries. (A previous USDA study of the ORAC values of fresh fruits tested sweet cherries, but did not test tart Montmorency cherries.) The recent testing by Brunswick Laboratories also revealed for the first time that tart cherries contain a class of compounds called SOD (super oxide dismutase), which act as super scavengers of dangerous free radicals, destroying them throughout the body. The principal research scientist at Brunswick Labs, Boxin Ou, says that the discovery of SOD in tart cherries is significant, because very few natural foods contain SOD, and humans often are lacking SOD. Furthermore, the recent testing by Brunswick Labs revealed that tart cherries significantly inhibit the COX enzyme, which concurs with results of previous studies by major universities. Two tablespoons of tart cherry concentrate is equivalent to .30 grams of aspirin; whereas, a standard aspirin tablet is .325 grams. MissionMichelle's Miracle exists to: Produce and sell top-quality tart cherry nutraceuticals to wholesale and retail customers.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is looking to create the largest marine preserve in the world by protecting a massive stretch of the Pacific Ocean from drilling, fishing and other actions that could threaten wildlife, the White House said.
Aiming to protect marine wildlife, Obama will also direct the government to create a program to deter illegal fishing. The executive steps come as Obama is searching for ways to leave his second-term mark on the environment despite opposition from many Republicans in Congress.
Obama was to announce the steps Tuesday in a video message to those participating in an "Our Ocean" conference that the State Department and Secretary of State John Kerry are hosting.
Officials said Obama is considering a massive expansion to the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument. The protected waters surround a group of mostly uninhabited islands, controlled by the U.S., that sit between Hawaii and American Samoa.
RIP Mike, you will be deeply missed.
Reading the new 2nd edition of Erich Hoyt's MPAs for Whales, Dolphins, and Porpoises gave me a lot to think about. What a fascinating topic and the book is… I'm not sure I have words. It is an impressive volume packed with information on cetacean species, highly detailed information on their habitat and migratory patterns, and lots of background on Marine Protected Areas (MPAs).
1. MPAs are a complex, but critical strategy to protect whales, dolphins, porpoises and other marine species. What are some of the biggest constraints to the success of MPAs and what are some steps to help overcome them?
EH: One constraint is getting them implemented. All MPAs start out on paper. It can be in the interests of government, industry or certain stakeholders in keeping them only on paper. There is inertia of course, too. Many areas stay as paper MPAs for years. I always say that all MPAs start out on paper but it is up to the stakeholders — the local communities, researchers, government ministries, conservation groups and those who care — to work separately and jointly to make them real MPAs that function to help protect marine wildlife and ecosystems. It is also important to realize that once effective protection is put in place, it is necessary to monitor and review the situation from time to time and make changes as needed to keep the MPA functioning and, indeed, improving.

For immediate release: September 5, 2011
Whales & dolphins need more protected areas
Background: A new book, Marine Protected Areas for Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises is released, calling for accelerated efforts to conserve marine mammals by protecting a greater area of the ocean. Currently only 1.3% of the ocean is protected but many new Marine Protected Areas are being created. Erich Hoyt, the book's author and IUCN's cetacean specialist, examines current and future developments in ocean protection. The book is a key resource for cetacean scientists and managers of Marine Protected Areas. Since most of these areas promote whale and dolphin watching and marine ecotourism, the book is also useful for finding some of the best places to spot the 87 species of whales, dolphins and porpoises in 125 countries and territories around the world. The book is published by Earthscan / Taylor & Francis and the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society. Continue reading

Editor's note: Oceanographer Sylvia Earle believes we can save our seas and ourselves with an intelligent attitude to the Earth's blue life-support system. Here she expresses her opinion for CNN.
(CNN) — Since I began exploring the ocean as a marine scientist 50 years ago, more has been learned about the ocean than during all preceding history.
At the same time, more has been lost.
Two weeks ago I testified before U.S. Congress on the ecological impact of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. I did so with perspective gained while sloshing around oiled beaches and marshes among dead and dying animals, diving under sheets of oily water and for years — as a founder and executive of engineering companies — of working with those in the oil industry responsible for developing and operating sophisticated equipment in the sea.

|No. 14 Sooners, No. 22 Cowboys gear up for Bedlam
|Written by Admin
|Sunday, 18 November 2012 09:03
After two months of keeping his starting quarterback a secret, coach Mike Gundy announced that Clint Chelf would get the call against the Sooners - although he noted that J.W. Walsh and Wes Lunt have both been cleared to play after knee injuries.
Walsh even played Saturday in a short-yardage running formation that's the Oklahoma State equivalent of Oklahoma's ``Belldozer'' package using backup quarterback Blake Bell.
The Sooners (8-2, 6-1 Big 12) can't afford to breathe a sigh of relief after giving up a school-record 778 yards in a 50-49 win over West Virginia, with Oklahoma State (7-3, 5-2) boasting the league's best ground game.

Google Brings World Bank Data To Search Engine
Six months after the release of its public data feature, Google has added World Bank data to its Internet search results.
In April 2009, Google launched public data to its search services in an effort to allow users to find and compare data based on hard numbers.
In the initial launch, Google said it gathered the information from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics and the US Census Bureau's Population Division. The company added that the launch was only the beginning.
On Wednesday, the company announced the next installment of the public data feature, which includes 17 "World Development Indicators" from information shared by the World Bank.
"With today's update, you can quickly access more data with a broad range of queries. Search should be intuitive, so we've done the work to think through queries where public data will be most relevant to you," Chung Wu, Software Engineer at Google, wrote in a post on the company's official blog.
Wu said users can try the new feature by entering queries such as [gdp of Indonesia], [co2 emissions of Iceland] or [internet users in the united states].
Each search will bring up a chart to show the percentages based on World Bank data.
Users can click on the search result to bring up an interactive chart that will allow users to compare figures from one country to another.
"We hope this new data and our new embedding feature will help facilitate quick and easy access to public statistics," wrote Wu. "There are still many other data sets and sources out there, and we're excited about the possibilities for the future."

At one time, Lerner thought he had the ear of erstwhile progressive Hillary Clinton. She's left him in the dust of the campaign trail, however. The man who was once derided by Rush Limbaugh as Hillary's "official rabbi" made clear that he's no longer her spiritual mentor.
He did recall, however, Hillary telling him years ago that she and Bill kept copies of Tikkun in their White House bathroom.
"She clearly identified as more progressive," Lerner recalled. "But even then she was telling me how scared she was that 'no one in the public arena is supporting us.' I would tell her, 'But he's the president! You can lead by example.' They didn't understand that. She has an internal moral compass, but she doesn't have a political moral compass. As a public person, she will go in the direction that will be popular." He added, "I've seen her move in many different directions, depending on where the wind is blowing. You can move toward your beliefs or your interests. She has consistently moved toward her interests."
Which don't include being called "pro-Palestinian"which occurred as recently as last yearor being accused of calling a former campaign aide a "fucking Jew bastard."

Using Accents in SMS Text Messages
Mobile Commons works with some of the most inspiring Hispanic organizations in the country, including Reform Immigration 4 America, Presente.org, the National Alliance for Hispanic Health, the National Hispanic Media Coalition, and many others. But if you join the Spanish-language version of any of their mobile lists, you'll notice something surprising. None of the characters have the appropriate accent marks. For example, "alertas móviles" is spelled "alertas moviles".
As everyone knows, text messages are limited to 160 characters. But it's not just *any* 160 characters. Text messages are so small, the way that they can pack even that many characters in is by using a restricted alphabet. You can only choose from a select number of characters, which includes all upper case and lower case English letters, numbers, and punctuation. Unfortunately, doesn't include all the accented characters (or Cyrillic, Kanji, Hebrew, etc.)
Accents in International Text Messages
So what about countries outside the United States? How do they send text messages? Well, they make a trade-off. If you want a larger alphabet of characters to choose from, that comes at a price: fewer characters in your text messages. So if you want to send a text message in Arabic or Chinese, you can do it. But it's going to be limited to just 70 characters.
SMS in the US
"Great!" you think. I'll just write really short messages and then I can get accents. Well, it's not that simple. You see, there are two competing mobile phone technologies in the United States: GSM and CDMA. AT&T and T-Mobile use GSM, while Verizon and Sprint use CDMA. This is the reason you have to choose either an AT&T iPhone or a Verizon iPhone — the technologies just aren't compatible with one another.
And unfortunately, CDMA does not support characters outside the default alphabet. That means if you are texting in the United States, you are limited to just the English characters.
As a side note, you may notice that when you text your friends, say, with your iPhone, that you CAN use accents, even on Verizon. The reasoning for that is a little trickier and subtle. When you text your friends, you may not be using SMS! Maybe you both have iPhones and you are using iMessage. Or maybe you are using Blackberry Messenger. Or maybe you're using something called EMS or MMS. All of these protocols support larger alphabets. But it totally depends on the handset. You may *think* you sent an accented character to your friend, but it might show up blank, depending on her handset.
Since Mobile Commons is the best way to reach everyone, everywhere, and we place a huge emphasis on user experience (e.g. not sending a message that won't show up on someone's phone), we insist on using the most universal and ubiquitous technology everywhere, even if there are some tradeoffs.

The 2014 season is Mark Plakorus's fourth year as head coach at the University of Montana and his 16th year as a coach at the NCAA Division I level. He was hired in January 2011 after previously serving as associate head coach at TCU.
Plakorus is just the third coach in the history of the Montana soccer program, following Betsy Duerksen (1994-2003) and Neil Sedgwick (2004-10).
Plakorus was hired to return a program that had slipped from the Big Sky Conference's elite teams back to a championship level. It didn't take long.
In his first three seasons he has led the Grizzlies to a pair of Big Sky titles and a record of 25-26-11 and Big Sky mark of 12-10-3. In the two seasons before Plakorus arrived, Montana won a total of seven matches.
In Plakorus's first year, in 2011, Montana doubled its wins total from three to six and more than tripled its goal output from 8 to 27. In 2012, the Grizzlies upped their win total to 12, the most wins in a season in more than a decade.
Montana finished one game below .500 in 2013 and missed the conference tournament, but the Grizzlies were the Big Sky's hottest team late in the season, winning three of their last four and four of their last six matches.
Plakorus led Montana to back-to-back Big Sky championships in his first two years with the Grizzlies. In 2011 it was a tournament championship; in 2012 a regular-season title.
Playing as the No. 4 seed at the 2011 tournament, Montana upset No. 1 Northern Colorado and No. 3 Weber State to advance to its first NCAA tournament since 2000. The Grizzlies lost a competitive first-round match to eventual national champion Stanford.
A year later Montana shared the regular-season title, its first since 2000, and lost in the tournament championship match in a shootout. The Grizzlies ended their season on an eight-match unbeaten streak and matched a program record with a dozen shutouts.
The team tied for 11th nationally in shutout percentage (.571).
Plakorus coached Lauren Costa, Erin Craig and India Watne to first-team All-Big Sky Conference honors in 2011, the most first-team selections for the program since 2006.
Costa and Craig were first-team repeats in 2012, with Costa being named the Big Sky Defensive MVP and Craig the co-Offensive MVP.
The Grizzlies had three second-team All-Big Sky selections in 2013: Watne, Maddey Frey and Brooke Moody.
Montana has also excelled academically under Plakorus. The Grizzlies have earned the National Soccer Coaches Association of America Team Academic Award the last three seasons and placed 13 athletes on the 2011 Academic All-Big Sky Conference team, 17 in 2012 and 17 in 2013.

Plakorus spent three seasons (1999-2001) at Air Force, two at Iowa (2002-03) and one at Tulsa (2004) before joining the TCU staff. He finished his sixth season with the Horned Frogs in 2010 before joining the Grizzlies.
TCU had had four straight losing seasons prior to the arrival of head coach Dan Abdalla and Plakorus in 2005. By 2008 the Horned Frogs were 14-4-2, had become a nationally ranked program and had set a program record with 47 goals in 20 matches, making TCU the 18th most prolific offense in the nation.
Plakorus, who spent 11 years in the Air Force, has ties to Montana that date back nearly two decades.
He was stationed at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls from 1994 to 1999 and has been one of the directors of the Flathead Soccer Camp in Kalispell since 1998.
In addition to his Air Force duties at Malmstrom, Plakorus became the director of coaching and player development for the Electric City Soccer Club, started the boys soccer program at Great Falls High School and rose to the role of director of the Montana girls Olympic Development Program.
In those roles, Plakorus saw a number of his former players go on to play for the Grizzlies, who at the time were being coached by Duerksen.
Plakorus graduated from Kansas in 1990 with a degree in computer science. He played club soccer at KU and was a member of the ROTC. He added a master's degree in sport administration from Western Kentucky in 2012.

text: The 14-month-old girl who was attacked Tuesday morning by three pit bull dogs has undergone reconstructive surgery and, according to her mother, has been released from Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus Wednesday afternoon."During the surgery doctors stitched her face along with her chin, her ear and behind her ear. She's doing pretty good and might get to go home today," Jones said of her daughter, Kahtauna Cook.Jones said she also was bitten by one of the dogs. She was treated for a bite to the face at Southern Ohio Medical Center before traveling to be with her daughter in Columbus.Jones said she, Roy Cook, who is her boyfriend and Kathauna's father, and Kahtauna had been staying at Cook's parent's house at 405 Campbell Ave., Portsmouth, with plans to soon move to Columbus.Douglas Bowling, Kahtauna's grandfather, is scheduled to appear in Portsmouth Municipal County today on charges of harboring vicious animals.According city ordinance, "No person shall harbor or keep any dog that bites or fiercely attacks any other person, such animal being at the time of such biting or attack upon any sidewalks, street, alley, public place or landing of the city, or in or upon any lot or premises in the city other than that occupied by the harborer or keeper of such animal."A violation of that ordinance is a minor misdemeanor. Wendy Payton, animal control officer with the Portsmouth City Health Department, quarantined the dogs for 10 days until a judge decides their fate."I think those dogs should be put down," Jones said. "The oldest (7 years old) dog has bit several people, he's bit a couple of kids and has bit four or five adults. The other two dogs (2 years old and 8 months old) have never bitten anybody."Leslie Young, a sanitarian of the Portsmouth Health Department, the agency that records dog bit records, said the city has no record of a pit bull bite at Bowling's Campbell Avenue address.Jones said she is terrified of dogs but she didn't hesitate when it came to saving her baby.Payton had been laid off for four months because of budget cuts. She had only recently returned to her job when she responded to this incident."We had to lay off our animal control officer for four months this year and hopefully we will never have to do that again," Health Commissioner Chris Smith said. "In some cases it can come down to life and death when it comes to certain animals. It's very important for us to have animal control."According to the Health Department, between April 1 and Aug. 1, 2011, there were 24 reported dog bites in the city. Officials with the Health Department say there were about that many during the same time period in 2010. WAYNE ALLEN may be reached at (740) 353-3101, ext. 208, or email@example.com.

McCutchan Named SEC Off. Lineman of the Week
Senior center Matt McCutchan has been named Southeastern Conference Offensive Lineman of the Week by the league office in recognition of his performance in Saturday?s 42-40 win over Louisiana-Monroe.
McCutchan (Lebanon, Ohio) graded out at 86 percent in the game, had two knockdown blocks, and did not allow a sack or have a penalty. Kentucky accumulated 457 yards of total offense, the most allowed this season by ULM.
It is the second time that McCutchan has earned the SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week honor. He also was named following UK?s 51-32 victory over Indiana in 2004.
The Wildcats have garnered five SEC Player of the Week honors this year. In addition to McCutchan, quarterback Andre? Woodson was Offensive Player of the Week vs. Ole Miss and Vanderbilt; wide receiver/kick returner Keenan Burton was Special Teams Player of the Week vs. Mississippi State; and cornerback Trevard Lindley was Freshman of the Week following the Georgia game.
