Mexican fishing villages work to change practices to preserve loggerhead turtles

Small-scale fishing in Mexico rivals industrial fisheries in accidental turtle deaths
But new research shows that a small-scale Mexican fishery--operated by hand from small open boats--can kill as many critically endangered loggerhead sea turtles as all of the industrial fishing fleets in the North Pacific Ocean put together. On a per-hook or per-net basis, the Mexican fishery is 10 to 100 times as deadly, the study found. The research has already resulted in a voluntary turnaround in the fleet's fishing practices and the declaration of an offshore turtle refuge.
"The impacts of small-scale fisheries have been overlooked because they are inherently difficult to study," said lead author Hoyt Peckham, a Ph.D. candidate in ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

Historic Caribbean sea turtle population falls 99%
(8/1/2006) Current conservation assessments of endangered Caribbean sea turtles are too optimistic due declines of populations on historically important nesting beaches, according to new research from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The plunge has significant ecological consequences.
Sex sells sea turtle conservation in Mexico
(8/19/2005) Mexican authorities announced they will use posters of scantily dressed young women to promote the protection of endangered sea turtles. The promotion comes just weeks after some 80 protected Olive Ridley sea turtles were found chopped to pieces on Escobilla beach in Oaxaca, Mexico.
"It was really surprising to me, because when I think of bycatch I think of massive factory trawlers with huge catch rates decimating the oceans," Peckham said. "What's striking in this work is that some small-scale fleets can kill many more turtles, because they fish where turtles are most abundant."
One such place is off the coast of Baja California Sur, Mexico, where perennially rich turtle feeding waters overlap with a small patch of favored fishing grounds. Local fishermen ply these waters for halibut and other bottom-dwelling fish using gill nets and strings of hooks known as longlines. Their pangas--small boats around 20 feet long--usually fish within about 3 miles of shore, where there are few turtles. But when the fishermen venture farther offshore they share the water with thousands of turtles that spend decades fattening up on the abundant food.
Many turtles are snared inadvertently. Peckham and his coworkers estimated the bycatch at more than 1,000 turtles per year based on their observations accompanying fishermen on day trips and surveying local beaches for washed-up turtle carcasses. Bycatch happens so commonly, Peckham said, that many locals at first didn't even realize the turtles were endangered.
By comparison, U.S. officials are so concerned about loggerhead turtles that in 2002 they shut down Hawaii's 20-boat, $55 million swordfish fleet to develop ways to avoid bycatch. The fishery reopened three years later but included an automatic cap that shuts down the season if the fleet as a whole hooks more than 17 turtles. In 2006, the cap was reached just three months into the 10-month season, Peckham said.
Loggerheads are medium-sized sea turtles whose shells reach about a meter (3.3 feet) in length. They live for 50 years or more and nest on beaches in many parts of the world, including the southeastern U.S., the Mediterranean, Oman, Australia, and Japan.
North Pacific loggerheads nest exclusively in Japan, where records from the past 50 years show they are plunging toward extinction. At some nesting beaches, numbers have dropped 50 percent to 90 percent in the last decade. Fewer than 1,500 adult females are thought to nest each year in the entire North Pacific, according to Peckham.
But in addition to those adults, there are many thousand adolescent turtles that spend several decades roaming the North Pacific--and feeding in the waters off Baja California--before beginning to breed. Losing 1,000 or more per year in Mexican waters alone is likely to put a dent in breeding numbers that will be felt decades into the future.
"You can protect hatchlings on beaches all you want, but if you don't protect juveniles during those 30 years on their foraging habitats, it's never going to work," Peckham said.
After realizing the scale of the bycatch, Peckham planned his dissertation research in a way that would help solve the problem. Through the regional conservation network Grupo Tortuguero, he employed Mexican high school and university students to go out on fishing boats and record turtle catches. He set up meetings with local fishermen to brainstorm ways to avoid the problem, including testing alternative fishing gear, bringing Japanese and Hawaiian fishermen to Mexico to share oceanwide perspectives, and spreading the word about bycatch through comic books, impromptu movie showings, murals, and festivals. (See related story at http://press.ucsc.edu/text.asp"pid=1597.)
After seeing the global consequences of their activities, the fishermen quickly made strides to curb their fleet's impact. Last year, a traditionally rich fishing locale that also produced much of the turtle bycatch was voluntarily made into an off-limits "Fishers' Turtle Reserve" by the fishermen themselves. Efforts to declare the area an official national reserve with legal protection are under way. And earlier this year, Peckham said, the owner of the area's biggest fishing fleet chose to retire his longlines from duty in turtle-rich waters.
"In the realm of saving ocean wildlife, we rarely see opportunities as powerful as this," said Wallace J. Nichols of the Ocean Conservancy, a coauthor of the paper.
"These Mexican fishermen are bringing about probably the biggest reduction in bycatch by any single action that we can imagine. That fleet's switch away from bottom-set longlines will spare hundreds of loggerheads a year," Peckham said.
This is a modified news release, originally titled "Small-scale fishing in Mexico rivals industrial fisheries in accidental turtle deaths" from UC Santa Cruz.

Bernie enlisted the help of Rick Hansberger for the Nova's interior work, which is mind-blowing in its details. Stock black carpet is accented by the pearl white dash, door panels, and PUI-supplied custom upholstery, which is the factory pattern but in pearl white vinyl. The custom dash panel was designed and built by Bernie, and features a full array VDO Cockpit gauges, as well as a late stereo from Custom Auto Sounds. The Grant 742 leather-wrapped steering wheel connects driver and car together with style and comfort.
The Nova took 18 months to build, and then spent the next 18 months in storage while Bernie moved to a new house and built a new garage. Now that the duo is reunited, they make it to all the local shows and cruises, and have collected many First Place and Best of Show honors. And when not in service, the SS spends its off-duty hours along side a Pro Street '66 hardtop in Bernie's new 2,000 square-foot, fully-equipped, heated, and air conditioned garage with 12-foot ceilings and lift (Ed. Note-Bernie, we are officially jealous). Proof positive that when it comes to standing out in a crowd, Bernie's Nova leaves nothing to chance!

Six matches without a win is such a poor spell that Observer Blues coach Frank Kisakye is ready to throw in the towel with a draw or loss to Blue Cube, writes Moses Mugalu.
The match, which could also determine the fate of misfiring striker Felix Eupal as well as the erratic Emmanuel Mutaizibwa, takes place at Villa Park this afternoon. Already, Kisakye has decided to do a 'Di Matteo' by dropping central defender Siraje Lubwama and instead replaced him with the untested Samson Baranga.
"It's my last throw of the dice," says Kisakye, whose assistant Charles Sebugwawo is tipped to take over. "I'm going for broke and I will be responsible if we fail to beat Blue Cube."
James Tumusiime also makes a rare return to the first team on the left side of the midfield while Edward Echwalu is set to pave way for the stocky Edward Ssekika at right back. The match kicks off at 4pm and will be handled by retired Fifa referee Catherine Adipo.

Motorola Solutions Inc.'s MSI third-quarter earnings rose 61% as the company's government business posted stronger revenue, though the enterprise segment's revenue continued to decline.
The company raised its revenue estimates for the year, predicting 6% to 6.5% growth, from its previous view of 5% to 6%.
For the current quarter, the company expects earnings from continuing operations of 98 cents to $1.03 a share on sales growth of 6% to 7%. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected $1.02 a share in earnings and 5% revenue growth.
Motorola Solutions is a provider of public-safety radios, handheld scanners and telecommunications-network gear, and was created last year in the split of Motorola Inc. The spinoff put the higher-profile mobile-devices and TV-set-top-box operations into Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc., which was then acquired by Google Inc. GOOG in May for $12.5 billion.
Motorola Solutions posted a profit of $206 million, or 72 cents a share, up from $128 million, or 38 cents a share, a year earlier. The year-ago period included a loss from discontinued operations of seven cents a share. Excluding stock-based compensation and other items, earnings from continuing operations rose to 84 cents from 66 cents, above the company's July prediction of 69 cents to 74 cents.
Revenue grew 3.3% to $2.15 billion, in-line with analysts forecast of $2.15 billion.
Gross margin edged down to 50.5% from 50.6%, as input costs rose 3.5%.
Government sales were up 12% to $1.5 billion, driven by strong growth in North America. The smaller enterprise business posted 13% lower revenue at $632 million, hurt by a decline in iDEN sales.
Shares closed at $49.77 Tuesday and were inactive premarket. The stock is up 7.5% since the start of the year.

How to Find Relevant Link Targets
One of the biggest factors determining your link request success rate will be how you go about finding link targets. It's no good sending out emails randomly; you have to find websites that actively link out to websites like yours. If they are already linking to other websites there has to be a possibility that they can also link to your website. My first step in this process is to run a few custom queries in Google to try and find some potential websites to approach.
To find websites in your niche with links pages try running the following search queries:
your-keyword intitle:links inurl:links
your-keyword intitle:resources inurl:resources
Replace 'keyword' with an appropriate keyword that describes what you are looking for.
As an example, let's assume you run a children's gifts ecommerce website and you want to find children's entertainers websites. Simply search for:
Children's entertainers intitle:links inurl:links
By running this search in Google, you should end up with a nice big list of children's entertainment websites that have links pages; and the ability to link back to your website.
Now you have to find out why they are linking to other websites. Most webmasters have one of a few reasons to link to other businesses; they could be friends, partners, or perhaps they have exchanged links. Finding out the answer to this question is one of the biggest steps towards gaining a link. I personally wouldn't advise you exchange links en masse; you need to find some other reasons for them to link back to you.
If you have enough time available you could offer to provide them with some new content for their website. Perhaps they could benefit from a few guides or an FAQ's page. If they are local then you have the opportunity to offer them recommendations and business leads. The real trick is to find something that will genuinely benefit their business; something that means linking to you makes perfect business sense and is an opportunity that shouldn't be missed!

You're on the right track but I would say that looking for "links" and "resources" pages is not the right way to execute this strategy. Chances are pretty good that those pages are being used for search marketing — which means the links will be suspicious. No one should be associating their site with suspicious links.
It's better to spend MORE TIME reading the blogs in the topic area from which you want the links and counting up which ones link out. You become more familiar with their own points of view that way and can write a better, more focused communication by responding to what they say.
Link acquisition should not be treating other Websites as cattle to be herded into the PageRank corral. They should be treated with the same dignity and respect we want people to extend to our own Websites.
@Micheal…I think you're right here, there are many ways to go about building links. I didn't mean to come across as 'corraling' websites; but surely there's a benefit to finding relevant websites that do actually link? I did maintain the fact that relevant is key here; not just approaching any old website with a links page…
@Michael….thanks…sanity prevails once again….OP…you need to research more…and I'd think a lot more, eh!
PS no offence meant…just that as Michael says, there are MUCH better ways to find good, relevant links than the 'corraling' method outlined herein, eh!
Thanks for your comment; do you mind me asking why I need to research more? Of course there are many ways to find links; but surely this could be seen as one piece of a large set of techniques?
We all want links from helpful Websites. Like Jim and Ruud pointed out, the research into potential linking sources can be better focused.
I find that writing about good blogs, responding to the points they make, encouraging them to make more good points, often leads to people linking to my own blog.
Those links send visitors and hence I find those blogs in my referral data. That validates my choices. But I also discover other blogs in my referral data that I wasn't aware of before. I wait until I find good content on those sites that I feel I can say something relevant about and then I write about them.
The process is rather self-sustaining, although clearly a well-known, popular blog benefits from this method more than a newly created blog. However, that is how I build traffic and links for all my blogs. I'm willing to take the patient route. I feel it's more productive and efficient.
what Ruud & Michael said here…can't be improved on at all…except to say that yes, if you "become" a part of a community rather than just dropping by for a link — you end up not only being in that community but your own online rep grows too. Yup, I know that this thought is not new, but as Michael said above…if you wait for that good content to comment on i.e. the patient route, it's about the best way to grow not only that online rep, but your blog as well!
Go over to Ross's blog post of today and read what he has to offer up on his POV on this – well sort of as Ross is very tough to point to in a few words or less….and this piece still has me thinking on it too! http://www.rosshudgens.com/dont-ask-sites-for-links-rebuttal/
[…] How to Find Relevant Link Targets (searchenginepeople.com) […]
Jon, that's a nice post. Along with finding the relavant websites that has links/resources page, we should see that they don't have more than 20 links. Although purpose of links page is seo, still, some websites do it genuinely to give details about their potential competitors(maybe partner in future). It's no harm trying this method. Thanks, Jon!
[…] best place to start gathering a list of relevant sites will be through modifying searches or using customized searches in Google. A lot of SEO research programs offer site finder tools as well but the easiest and most […]

Study: Schools' data-driven programs must be used to support students and teachers, not punish
America's love for data is nothing new; the real challenge is asking whether the data make sense.
As more states apply data to the classroom in the form of standardized tests and data-driven improvement and accountability (DDIA) programs, this challenge becomes critical for the future of our children and their ability to meet their fullest potential.
Consider humankind's experience with data. In the 1970s, a soccer coach from the former Soviet Union decided to measure every movement his players made in his effort to build the perfect soccer team. Passes across the field carried the same value as passes up the field, toward the opponent's goal. Artful if hard-to-measure head-fakes and foot feints weren't counted. Other coaches adopted this philosophy, and began tallying whatever data could be counted, from passes and headers to the number of steps a player made. "More" became the yardstick for success, which inadvertently created a "target culture" focused more on accountability and outcomes, rather than improvement.
In our schools, this trend appears in DDIA programs, such as No Child Left Behind and Race to the Top. For educators, these programs have been a double-edged sword. They provide teachers and students broad goals to aim for, establishing a baseline of accountability.
At the same time, all of us should question what data are gathered, how the data are used and, most important, whether the data help improve students' ability to learn. These questions are especially timely now.
In a newly released report, "Data-driven Improvement and Accountability," Boston College education professors Andy Hargreaves and Harry Braun say schools must ask these questions, because high-stakes measures tend to put adverse pressure on administrators, teachers and students. As a result, DDIA programs set back real and sustainable improvement opportunities — and these issues must be addressed now because Hargreaves and Braun argue that strategies in U.S. education are generally inferior to those of other countries.
When used thoughtfully, DDIA provides educators with valuable feedback on their students' progress by pinpointing where the most useful interventions can be made. Thoughtful uses of DDIA also give parents and the public accurate and meaningful information about student learning and school performance.
However, in the United States, measures of learning are usually limited in number and scope, and the consequences for schools and teachers of apparently poor performance are often punitive. The result is double jeopardy:
- First, accountability impedes improvement. Under pressure to avoid poor scores and unpleasant consequences, some educators concentrate their efforts on narrow tasks such as test preparation and coaching targeted at those students whose improved results will contribute most to their school's test-based indicators.
- Second, accountability is undermined because teachers feel pressured to "game the system" to get their scores up quickly.
To ensure that student improvement becomes the main driver of DDIA — and not simply an afterthought to accountability concerns — Hargreaves and Braun suggest basing professional judgments and interventions on a wide range of evidence and indicators that properly reflect what students should be learning. They also recommend designing systemic reforms to promote collective responsibility for improvement, with top-down accountability serving as a strategy of last resort when this falls short — practices common in high-performing countries and systems.
Schools are hurtling forward in implementing DDIA programs. Many aren't asking critical questions that can help students achieve and improve. Before we further entrench ourselves in the quagmire of fashionable-but-dubious educational trends, all of us should step back and ask some tough questions about the Big Data that have come to define the lives — and futures — of our students, teachers, parents and educators.

The Bad-Mouthing Ex
Dear Susan,
I am divorced from a physically and emotionally abusive ex husband. But he badmouths me to my 9 year old son. My son is comes home from visits every week and asks me if the information is true. Also, he is beginning to treat me badly, by not listening, and being very rude. I really believe it is because of what his father is saying about me and about my family. Is there anything I can do to stop this?
Alma, London
Dear Alma,
There are a few issues going on here, and I can understand how powerless this must make you feel. Firstly, no, you can't control what your ex says about you. Despite how angry it must make you feel, it is important for you to remind yourself of what the truth is, and remind yourself of why your ex is engaging in this hurtful behaviour. There are some things that you can control and others that you simply can't.
You mentioned that your ex was abusive. Is this another attempt to hurt you?
It is very unfair and damaging to your son to hear negatives about either of his parents. So I urge you not to respond by 'slinging' back. That said, I also believe that you have every right to defend yourself. But be careful not to badmouth his father as you are doing so.
Teach your son to make judgments based on what he knows is true, rather than on what he simply hears. For example, to protect him from being swayed by your ex's badmouthing, you might say something like, "Sometimes when you hear something bad over and over again, you may start to believe that it is true, even if you knew in the beginning it wasn't true. I know Daddy often says that I don't take good care of you, but that doesn't mean it's the truth. Am I kind to you? Do I listen to you? Do I hug and kiss you? Do you feel happy and safe with me? Make your own decisions, and if you are afraid or worried, we can talk any time you want. I will always tell you the truth."
Be reassured, as most children get older they begin to question inappropriate badmouthing without being prompted by their parents.
On another level, you mention that your son is behaving badly and that requires attention. Even though you may be feeling emotionally defeated by constantly having to explain or defend yourself, it is paramount that you help him through this struggle, because to ignore it could result in more serious behavioural issues, later on. Your son may be wrestling with the truth, and he may be taking it out on you, because you are the one safe and dependable person in his life who he can count on. From a child's eye perspective, you may be the one person he can trust. However, it is important that you retain the role as an authority figure, so I would schedule an appointment with a therapist who specializes in parenting issues as soon as possible.

Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 1133 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by AlexB58 Good Stay I enjoyed my stay at the Sheraton but was sick most of the week with the flu. I called guest services to inquire about a 2 hour late checkout so I could get a couple of hours sleep before heading to the airport to go home and got the stock answer of the facility being totally booked before I even completed my sentence. I honestly do not think the customer service rep was even listening. this was the only bad part of the stay which the hotel could have had anything to do with (not their fault I got sick - 6 hours in a tin can flying cross country can do that all on its own). November 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SandyR57 Great for a first experience with Sheraton Stayed one night with a colleague to attend a nursing conference. We were impressed with how nice the room was and how friendly and helpful the valet guys were. It still annoys me though that every hotel like this charges for internet access but you can stay at teeny little motels and have free internet. November 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by OMED14attendee Great location This hotel was centrally located, perfect for my conference and getting around the city. Would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to experience Seattle November 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Peter47 Location , service and value The tail end of a wonderful 45 wedding anniversary trip to the U.S. from Australia for my wife and I. Everything seamless . Sheraton still is our home away from home. Really enjoyed the Halloween themed breakfast in the club room. Our grandchildren loved the photos we sent them of the Witches fingers , ghost eggs , mummy sausages etc. and -- we will always remember the Chihuly Glass garden . Simply breathtaking . Well done Seattle ! November 6, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by hannah1 Double charged, poor poor customer service I was appalled to notice that I was double charged for my valet parking and other additional costs. Upon checkout, I used a separate credit card to pay for the additional charges, as my room was prepaid. Then I checked my statement and noticed my other credit card was also charged for these additional charges. I contacted the sheraton seattle the moment I found their error and talked to a man who told me to "call back during their business hours". I told him that he could leave a note for them to contact me as this was their error, not mine. In the middle of my sentence I was cut off and forwarded to the voicemail of the billing department. I have never been treated so poorly by a representative over the phone. The rude man I talked to admitted to the fault, and when i got connected again with them they said they "couldn't find it", I have now forwarded back to them the statement with both credit cards that I received in an email after checking out. I am still waiting to be reimbursed. Furthermore, the rooms are extremely outdated, the furniture is not modern at all. The lineup to check in was annoying as well. The location is the best part of this stay. November 6, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by RH1968 Wrong from the get go... I had high expectations for this stay as I had booked a room on the club level...but when I arrived at 4:00 I was told that the room I had reserved wasn't ready and I could accept a room on another floor. Strike 1. Then I was told that nothing else would be different and I would still get my complimentary access to the club level and not be charged for Internet. My key wouldn't work on the club and the attendant didn't let me in so I had to go all the way down to the front desk and get a new key so I decided to bag it and just go out and get food. Strike 2. Then I found out that even though I paid for the club level I was still charged $10.95 for my internet. Strike 3. On top of that my toilet was plugged upon check in and the shower was so hard to turn on that I, a 225 lb man, had to put my foot on the wall and pull with all my might just to get it to turn on. That seemed excessive. Strike 4. Overall I would say my stay was incredibly disappointing. Although the staff was very friendly and helpful...you just don't expect these kinds of mistakes, especially when you pay for the upgrade. November 5, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Alca Another guest checked into my room I have stayed at this hotel before but this is the most disappointing stay. first WIFI wouldn't work for me, that was on Sunday. Tuesday midnight someone enters my room with his own set of keys. IT took 10 min for the front desk to answer the phone to tell them that I am already checked into that room. The next morning my keys wouldn't work. Very unprofessional. November 4, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Tom888 Poor response from hotel staff I booked my room for two nights but I had to cut short my stay and thus checked out a day earlier. When I asked for the invoice, the front desk told me that they had system problem and were not able to print the invoice but would mail to me. They did, but they charged me two nights instead of one night. I emailed 3 times and called multiple times. Eventually, someone called me back and promised to send me a correct invoice and credit me back. However, this has never happened. I emailed and called again, disappointingly, NO RESPONSE again. WHY I HAVE TO SPENT THAT MUCH TIME CHASING?????? WORSE OF ALL, VERY UNRESPONSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! November 4, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by TravelinKen Comfortable and Large Hotel - Next to Conv Center This is a large hotel with meeting space and located just across the street from the convention center. This was my first stay at this hotel and I was very happy. My room was in the Pike Street tower on a high floor and with my status with SPG I had access to the Club Lounge. The bed and desk area were both comfortable and the internet worked well. It was nice to walk out the front door and be in the middle of downtown shopping and restaurants. The room was comfortable and well maintained. Surprisingly, room service food and the restaurant at the hotel were both excellent, staff were a little frazzled though. I was surprised that I enjoyed everything that I ordered from them which is very unusual for me. November 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AMG23 Fantastic Hotel and Location! Loved it All! My husband & I stayed at this hotel for an extended long weekend to explore the city for a little getaway. We so thoroughly enjoyed ourselves & we felt the hotel out did itself. Great service and location. Friendly staff. Always willing to help and we loved every moment. October 31, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by malyndo Seattle must have better We booked a room with a King. Checked in, got to room and it had 2 doubles. We called downstairs and they made me wait, had to pay $34 more a night for the King for 5 nights! Even though I had proof of reservation and price. AND...they put us right under the exercise room so that as soon as it opened in the am and when they were cleaning at night it felt like the place was falling apart, not to mention how hard it is to sleep in all that noise.

Rated 4 out of 5 by WittenFan Had to pay for parking, wi-fi & no fridge or microwave We stayed 2 nights here. The staff was amazing! Very friendly and helpful. Hotel is very beautiful, but we didn't think it was worth what we had to pay "extra". We paid $200 per night & also had to pay $46 per day for parking, $11 per day for Wi-Fi, and we had no fridge or microwave in the room!! All these should have been included in a $200 per night charge! October 15, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by LBT18 Great Hotel and rooms - Parking needs improvement Great clean room, exactly what you would expect from a Sheraton. Great location and staff were friendly and courteous. Only downside is that they need to improve their parking options. We were told we could easily exit the parking garage at 5:30am in order to catch a flight, but when we went to leave the parking garage was fully gated and closed. October 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kevin50 Excellent Service We received excellent service and attention from May, the VIP & Club Services Leader. She introduced herself before our visit and checked in regularly to make sure our needs were met. October 14, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Jude13 Not Satisfactory The first night was booked for late arrival. I even phoned from Vancouver airport to re confirm late arrival. Our room was not as booked, so they substituted a wheel- chair access room. Requested a move, also booked an allergy free room, so at midnight staff had to change bedding on two beds. (King bed had been booked, but not available). We were on a convention, were moved again the next day. This room although it had king bed, was not much better. Again had to phone to get staff to change bedding. Rooms were not clean, carpets worn and dirty. No extras in room, no make-up mirror. This is a business hotel that appears to get a lot of traffic, with very little attention to cleaning or upgrading. It was a good location, and the staff were very helpful and friendly. October 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BusinessTraveler1014 Perfect for business stays Beautiful hotel with a great staff. Location is perfect for downtown meetings and sight seeing. Room was very comfortable and meeting room was on 35th floor with amazing views of the city. October 3, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by BruceGZ Very Good Except Breakfast Clean room, comfortable bed, everything good as always except.....terrible breakfast in the hotel restaurant. Absurdly slow service followed by cold, dry eggs that were either sitting for 25 minutes or were taken from a buffet tray and re-heated. Inedible for hotel food. October 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by joelori Excellent location Room Comfort - the temperaturewas not responsive / did not change. We would adjust thermostat down to 68 and the room would not cool.. September 30, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by GillUK Disappointed This hotel is in a great location and ideal for the waterfront. However, when we checked in our bathroom was not clean and the fridge still had half eaten food from an earlier guest which made it difficult to feel confident that the remainder of the room was clean. Housekeeping came to attend to the points we raised with customer services, but no-one else seemed interested. The hotel was very busy and noisy and we had disturbed sleep. On the Saturday evening the lifts weren't all working and we had to wait 10 minutes for a lift and then, when we checked out they used the wrong credit card to settle the account and we are still waiting for the holding amount to be released from our debit card. All round not what we expect from a Sheraton. September 30, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by BCBusiness BCBusiness I have stayed at this location many times for business. This is a generally a good hotel with nice location in the city. However, when checking in on Monday evening (between 6 and 8pm) there is almost always a line which I have repeatedly had to wait 15 minutes to check-in (even as a Platinum member). On 9/22 there was a system issue and while that sometimes happens it took 50 minutes to check in. Staff was apologetic but I would expect some additional incentive to keep me coming back to this hotel - there are plenty of options in the area. September 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dadwith2 Great experience beware the treadmills I appreciated the level and quality of service provided by the entire staff. I like the new "green" service whereby I earned points per night for not needing my room cleaned (I am pretty clean to begin with so well worth it). I was put up in the executive suite (room 3428) which while spectacular, was directly below the 24-hour gym. I was getting pretty good at figuring out a treadmill runner's minutes-per-mile based upon the thuds of their feet. This was not nearly as bad as the dropping of the weights which created mini-tremors throughout the seating porting of the suite. Thank you again to all the staff for making my stay so welcoming. High remarks, just beware the treadmills. September 24, 2014

Israel turned over to Palestinian officials the bodies of 91 terrorists.
The remains of 80 Palestinian terrorists, which had been buried in an Israeli military cemetery in the West Bank, were turned over to the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank on Thursday. Another 11 bodies were repatriated to Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Suicide bombers responsible for the deaths of more than 200 Israelis were among the bodies transferred. The Almagor terror victims association on Wednesday had ripped the government for the handover.
Included among the repatriated bodies was Ramez Aslim, the suicide bomber who attacked the central Jerusalem Cafe Hillel in 2003. Dual Israeli-American citizens Dr. David Applebaum, head of the emergency room at Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, and his daughter Nava, who was to have been married the day after the bombing, were killed in that attack.
Dozens of reserve soldiers were called into service to exhume the bodies during the month of May, Ynet reported.
The repatriation of the bodies is being called a good-will gesture to PA President Mahmoud Abbas. It reportedly was agreed to during a meeting in Ramallah earlier this month between Abbas and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's personal envoy, Isaac Molcho.
In ripping the government, the Almagor group's chairman, Meir Indor, said that "The Netanyahu-Barak-Mofaz government is giving a boost to terror and abusing the bereaved families and the injured. This is a government without a heart and without a brain."
An official ceremony to honor the terrorists was scheduled to be held Thursday in the PA's presidential compound in Ramallah, Palestinian Authority civil affairs minister Hussein al-Sheikh told the Palestinian Ma'an news service. A ceremony also reportedly will be held in Gaza.

In this world of international, world-wide-everything, you gotta love local.
Someone was searching for a NYC talent (on Voices.com) and it turns out that not only did they want to hire me, but their studio was just a few blocks away from my own.
It was great to work with the folks at Robotic Rapter and their clients, on behalf of the Social Responsibility division at Estee Lauder. I voiced an internal anthem piece for their corporate executive meeting - a great honor.
Best of all was the camaraderie and creative give and take that happens when you're in a studio working face to face. It brings the best out of everyone in the combined spirit of collaboration!

Washer seemed very good and in fact got the matching dryer. Unfortunately the seal on the washer is very thin and is cut if you leave anything in your pockets including change or if you wash something that has an edge including belt buckles (or if the zipper gets caught on it). Replaced 3 times out of pocket due to it not being a manufacturer "defect." Last time it was fixed finally got a replacement part that was extra thick for durability which finally made it not so problematic that way.
However, now the washer's basket no longer spins so clothes aren't being agitated or excess water not being spun out. With this many problems over 3 years just going to decide the model is a clunker and move on.
Purchased in '07. Looks good. Fancy digital controls. Got it with the matching dryer. Purchased via the GE employee discount program, so the price was nice.
Loads are constantly unbalanced. Clothes come out dingy -- especially whites. Gasket mold.
Like one other reviewer, we have had a number of problems with this washer & the thin gasket. Had to replace a number of times within the first few years, and finally got one that was thicker that did the job for much longer than the other three. We have had this unit 5 1/2 years, and the bearings have gone out, so we are replacing. It washes clothes all right, but does get unbalanced fairly frequently. The nice thing with this model is that it is self-adjusting, so sometimes you might have to run another spin cycle, but it does try to correct it on its own first. Overall, would have purchased another washer. Looking at top loaders again because, although there are a number of benefits with front loaders, they wear out too quickly for the amount of money paid. The tech I just had here said 5 1/2 years is about normal because of the wear & tear simply from gravity. All that is holding the basket is one shaft and 2 bearings. Once the bearings are gone, which they wear out in about 5 1/2 years because of the weight of the basket with clothes, the washer is pretty much shot - you can buy a new one for about the price to fix it!

"The most important work in the world." That's how Dr. Jesse Robertson describes teaching Bible at Freed-Hardeman. His occupational focus, however, was not always so clear. A double major in Bible and pre-engineering at Freed-Hardeman, Robertson continued his engineering studies at Tennessee Technological University. Nearing graduation, he interviewed with a biomedical engineering company in Memphis. On the way back to Cookeville, he thought about the 50-60 hours a week the job would require and began to wonder, "Is that how I want to spend my life?"
Robertson opted instead for a very different career as a minister. He began preaching for a congregation in Leachville, Ark., and attending Harding Graduate School of Religion. Another career switch brought him back to the Henderson area. This time he worked as a design engineer. After about three years as an engineer and completion of a Master of Divinity, he was offered the opportunity to teach at FHU.
Since that time, he has completed a Ph.D. at Baylor University and returned to the FHU faculty. His conviction about the importance of what he does leads him to bring real rigor to his classes. "I try to tell my students that this is the most important thing on campus," he says. "They expect to work hard in science classes," he says, "but sometimes they don't expect that level of difficulty in Bible classes. I try to get them to follow the medical model. I want them to see ministry as a real profession with challenging things to do."
In addition to his work as a Bible teacher, Robertson is also a pulpit minister for the Estes Church of Christ. He has made numerous trips to Haiti and played a huge role in the church's effort to offer humanitarian aid following the earthquake there.
This year, Robertson has taken on an additional role. In January, he was named the dean of graduate studies and outreach. As dean of the graduate program, Robertson works with graduate directors, faculty and deans to improve the university's offerings and to increase enrollment in graduate, off-campus and non-traditional programs. He continues to teach Bible courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels and to serve as coordinator of the Master of Divinity program.
His involvement in relief work for Haiti, he says, showed him that "a person working behind the scenes in an organization has a more crucial role in that mission than many people realize." Robertson, who had been going to Haiti for twenty years when the earthquake struck, had, in fact, just returned from a construction trip there the day before the quake. In the wake of the disaster, he became extremely busy as the chief administrator for the large amount of funds that came in for relief. "I organized relief teams, supply shipments, volunteers and personnel for months," he said. When he finally made it back to Haiti himself, he saw that many of the folks he had helped to send on relief teams were better known by Haitians than he was. "I had the humble satisfaction of knowing I had been blessed to be in the right place at the right time with the right talents to lead behind the scenes," he says.
"I still believe teaching the Bible is the most important job in the world," he says, "but for that mission to succeed, many roles must be filled." Robertson sees that not everyone involved in academics wants the responsibility, paperwork and long hours that accompany administrative roles. He also sees, however, the need for "passionate leaders" who will attend to the "quality, direction and growth of FHU's educational program and mission in Christian education."
"I may find that my interests and talents are not suited to my new position," he says, "but I felt strongly that I wanted to at least give it a try and have a greater role in the discussions that determine the decisions made at FHU."
Engineer-preacher-teacher-administrator, Robertson has filled many roles as his situation and the need have changed. "If you can see clearly what's most important and you're given the opportunity to do that," he says, "it's a foundation for real contentment."

"If I have my passport, my iPad and my money," Freed-Hardeman University Bible teacher Kirk Brothers said, "I can do about whatever I need to do in the mission field."
Brothers has demonstrated that point while on mission trips to Costa Rica and Nicaragua. As a part of his work with Latin American Missions (LAM), he coordinates three future minister camps in Central or South America each year and uses his iPad at all of them.
He also takes Thompson Chain Reference Bibles for each camper to use in lesson preparation. "Our luggage is usually maxed-out with books and supplies for the camp," Brothers said. This is where the portability of the iPad proves advantageous. "It allows us to take books and Bible programs for our own lesson preparation and to help the boys," he said.
At one camp, Brothers used his iPad and Accordance, a Bible study program, to help a student prepare a lesson on one of Jesus's parables. "I was able to pull up a Spanish translation and the New American Standard translation and put them side by side to highlight key features of the parable," he said.
"The iPad is a tremendous asset for those of us who are not yet fluent in Spanish," Brothers, who has Spanish dictionaries and translators on his device, said. "I use them all the time when someone is speaking and I do not understand a particular word. I also use them when I am trying to decide what word to use in a conversation," he said. Using Google Translate, he types what he wants to say to campers in English and gets a Spanish translation.
A true believer, Brothers utilizes the latest in technology to teach an age-old message. "I preach all my sermons and classes and do all my Bible reading from my iPad. I don't preach anywhere from a paper Bible any more," he said.
Brothers received his iPad as a part of FHU's technology initiative called iKnow. The program provides faculty members and incoming students with iPads for instructional purposes.
Having begun preaching himself as a teenager, Brothers is committed to teaching young men to preach the Gospel, whether at home or away, with or without technology. His Ph.D. dissertation at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary deals with factors motivating Church of Christ ministry students to enter ministry. He has also directed future ministers' camps in Denver, Col.; Nashville, Tenn.; Columbia, Tenn., and at various locations in Central and South America. This summer, July 28-Aug. 2, will find him in El Salvador— after he finishes co-directing Horizons at FHU.
Brothers first attended Horizons 33 years ago, the first year of its existence. It was called Future Church Leaders' Workshop and was directed by Dr. Billy Smith, now dean of the College of Biblical Studies. Smith actually taught the speaking class Brothers attended. Now one of the directors himself, Brothers says he still has the notes from that class. "Going from camper to counselor, to teacher, to dorm director, to planning committee member, to co-director has been an interesting journey," he said. "It has allowed me to see Horizons from many different vantage points. There are countless moving parts. There is no one person or group of people responsible for Horizons. It is God using an army of workers to train tomorrow's leaders."
This summer, July 7-12, marked Horizons' 33rd year. The directors and coordinators dubbed the week, "33 My Life, His Business," an obvious allusion to the 33 years Christ walked the earth. Designed to develop Christian leaders, the camp is a mix between church camp and youth rally, Brothers said. He and co-director Doug Burleson welcomed more than 900 campers. For additional information, visit fhu.edu/horizons.
Whether it is leading a Horizons discussion group, helping a young man in Central America prepare a lesson, teaching in a stateside future ministers' camp, or teaching at Freed-Hardeman, Brothers is passionate about training young men to preach the Gospel.

Miscellany: As "The Human Punching Bag," sparred with several professional boxers
"I am passionate about studying the text and how it was transmitted to us," says Dr. Doug Burleson, assistant professor of Bible. That passion is demonstrated via his activities as the occupant of the Gardner Chair for Academic Research and in his teaching. Using funds provided by John and Rosemary Brown in honor of E. Claude Gardner, Burleson has brought to campus facsimiles of two of the oldest existing manuscripts of the complete Bible. Over the last two years, facsimiles of the Vaticanus and Sinaiticus have been purchased for the graduate Bible reading room and made available to students.
Biblical language classes typically use texts neatly divided into chapters with spacing between words, he said. "When students see these manuscripts in uncial text with no verse and chapter divisions and no spacing between words, they are, first of all, shocked," Burleson said.
He goes on to describe the sense of awe students have toward the documents. "They look like they don't want to put them down," he said. "Even with all the technology, there's something about holding a book," Burleson said.
Burleson uses the manuscripts when teaching biblical languages and critical introductions to the Old and New Testaments. "Letting them touch and experience these things introduces my students to a world I didn't know about until graduate school," he said.
Also as a part of the activities of the Gardner Chair, Burleson organized the school's first Bible symposium. Last fall, Dr. Daniel B. Wallace, noted Greek scholar, presented information on the significance of the Codex Sinaiticus.
The second symposium, scheduled for Oct. 25, 2013, will feature Dr. Craig L. Blomberg, a New Testament scholar from Dallas Theological Seminary. He will discuss the intertestamental period.
Although not quite so scholarly, FHU's summer Horizons program occupies a great deal of Burleson's attention this time of year. Hundreds of young people came to campus July 7-12 for a week studying "33 My Life, His Business." He and fellow Bible teacher Kirk Brothers direct the week-long camp. It's a work he values. After all, he says, "Horizons is the reason I enrolled as a student at Freed-Hardeman."
One Horizon session was devoted to learning how to help when disaster strikes. That's a topic Burleson knows well. He had been attending seminary in New Orleans and preaching in Baton Rouge 14 months when Katrina struck. "We had 160 people living in our church basement," he said. He was impressed that although most of those folks were not New Testament Christians, all but a handful came to church services. "I watched those people sing with us, although they had probably never heard acappella singing at church, and I saw them dig in their pockets for coins for the contribution," he said. "It's incredible how God used something so bad for good."
Since joining the faculty in 2010, Burleson has taught more than 20 different Bible courses on the graduate and undergraduate levels. "I've gotten to study a number of different things," he said. Whether it is preaching at Scotts Hill, teaching teenagers at Horizons or mentoring graduate students in Bible, Burleson demonstrates his passion for the Word and the impact it has on lives.

Miscellany: Once coached junior high tennis at Columbia
Dr. Justin Rogers joined the Bible faculty in 2010 when he was 28 years old as the youngest member of the faculty. He admits that his youth is "a subject of jest among several Bible faculty members" and that he occasionally participates in the humor.
Having noticed Rogers' suit and tie, a young undergraduate student asked if he were making a presentation that day. When Rogers smiled and answered affirmatively, the student continued the conversation by asking, "In Prep and Del?" in reference to Dr. Billy Smith's sophomore class more formally titled "Preparation and Delivery of Sermons." Told, "No, Critical Introduction to the Old Testament," the student looked somewhat puzzled. Rogers then explained, "I teach here." The student hurried away without another word.
After completing a bachelor's and master's degree at FHU, Rogers entered Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion to work on a doctorate. "It had been my goal since I was 18 to complete a Ph.D. by my thirtieth birthday," he said. "I turned thirty the day before I received my Ph.D. diploma, so I guess I didn't make it."
At FHU, he became a colleague of many who had taught him, a fact that has in some ways been "challenging." "I still haven't gotten accustomed to calling Dr. Gilmore 'Ralph,'" he said. But, he has been reminded, he said, that all the faculty members here are regular people. "Rarely do we discuss academic issues in our free time as faculty. We are friends," he said.
Let no one "despise" his youth, however. Rogers has already published quite an impressive array of scholarly and practical articles. Now, he has been commissioned to write two entries for "Textual History
of the Bible," one on the "Vulgate-Psalms" and the other on "Vulgate-Proverbs." To be published by Brill in 2014, the work will be a three-volume encyclopedia expected to be the standard reference work for textual criticism of the Hebrew Bible. Rogers calls it "a huge project."
Rogers is also currently working on "Origen's Use of 'Philo,'" an article for the "Oxford Companion of Origen," being compiled by a team of international scholars.
Rogers does not, however, write only for a scholarly audience. He has published more than 30 articles on a variety of topics in the "Gospel Advocate." His subject matter has ranged from "What is the Septuagint?" to "Internet Predators and Your Children." The relationship with GA is one Rogers cherishes and "hopes to continue for a long time," he said.
Writing attracts Rogers because "the printed page exists long after the author dies, and it reaches a much larger audience than the spoken word." In addition, "a lot of what is written isn't stimulating," he said.
He is working on a 13-lesson study of Genesis aimed at a high school audience that he hopes will change that. Scheduled for publication this fall, the book is based on material he uses in his Genesis class at FHU. "I've toned it down some," he said, "but it is still challenging. I believe young people can handle more difficult material than we have typically given them."
Often viewed as a protégée of Clyde Woods, long-time teacher of Hebrew and Old Testament studies at FHU, Rogers said they do have some things in common. Both received doctoral degrees from Hebrew Union, although in different areas.
Woods, in fact, wrote the school a letter of recommendation in Rogers' behalf. As an FHU student, Rogers worked for "Doc" Woods both in Bargain Bookfinders and in doing "things like cleaning out gutters." And, Rogers now teaches many of the classes Woods taught in the 1970's and 80's. "He built the Old Testament program here," Rogers said.
He, in fact, still helps Doc Woods in the book business whenever he is needed. "I can graduate from Freed-Hardeman and Hebrew Union, but never from Bargain Bookfinders," he joked.
Despite his accomplishments, Rogers said he considers himself "first and foremost, a student." When he "stumbles" upon an ancient text that has not been appreciated by scholars or hits upon a good sermon idea, he is stirred internally. "This excitement manifests itself in different ways and for different purposes in my teaching, preaching and writing," he said.

Carlos Gomez Suspended Tonight, Brian McCann Is Not
MLB apparently felt that Carlos Gomez's postgame Twitter apology wasn't enough following his incident with the Braves last night, so they've suspended the Brewers center fielder for tonight's game against the Mets.
Gomez homered off Paul Maholm–continuing what has been a longtime quasi-feud–and took his sweet time going around the bases. He then started yelling back and forth with Maholm and first baseman Freddie Freeman. And finally when he reached home plate Braves catcher Brian McCann physically prevented Gomez from scoring, although the umpires counted his run via an interference ruling.

I apologize for falling behind on my blogging, but today I'm back to tell you about another of the conservation projects John Ball Zoo supports right here in our own backyard. That project is Salmon in the Schools, and in conjunction with John Ball Zoo School, we completed our ninth year last Thursday! But before I go into the program, a little background.
You may know that the Great Lakes fishery was decimated in the fifties and sixties by overfishing and (more importantly) the introduction of exotic species. When engineers constructed canals to bypass Niagra Falls and allow freighter travel to and from the Atlantic Ocean, they opened the door for some unwanted guests. Among the worst were Sea Lamprey and Alewife. Sea Lamprey are primitive eel-like fish. They have toothy suction cups for mouths, and use them to parasitize and often kill large fish. Lamprey found no competition or predators in the Great Lakes, but did find an easy meal in the Lake Trout. Alewife are a species of Atlantic herring that also swam to the lakes, and with the lamprey decimating the trout there was no top predator to keep them in check. That resulted in them disrupting the populations of some of the other native species, as well as experiencing waves of massive, beach-fowling die offs when the lakes could no longer support their numbers. We needed solutions, and one came in the form of Chinook (or King) Salmon. They're a hardy and fast-growing Pacific species well-suited to the lakes' cold, deep waters. The DNR began stocking Lakes Michigan and Huron in 1967 to control the Alewife, as well as well as provide a new subject for the lucrative commercial and sport fishing industries.
Okay, that was a longer intro than I'd intended. Hope I didn't lose you. Anyway, a number of Michigan schools participate in a captive rearing program, and Zoo School is one of them. Every November we receive fertilized Chinook eggs from the Wolf Lake Fish Hatchery and raise them in an off exhibit area of the Aquarium. Salmon require cold water (about 50 degrees), meaning the water must be chilled. The other schools attach chilling systems to their tanks, but luckily we're able to run ours off the same machine that regulates temperatures for everything from the penguins to the tide pool. The eggs are in a five gallon aquarium, which is then placed in a fifty-five gallon one. Both are filled with pebbles. The smaller tank is intended to help keep the eggs together and easy to monitor. Once the salmon hatch and finish absorbing their yolk sacs (early the following year) the small tank is removed and daily feedings begin A pair of kids visits the Aquarium four times each day to feed, with keepers feeding twice more at the start and end of the day. So many hungry mouths eating that frequently makes for a very messy fish tank, so three times per week it's siphoned clean and given a large water change. When possible, the Zoo Schoolers help with this aspect as well. As the salmon grow, the food changes in both size and nutritional aspects to remain appropriate for them. By May the salmon are three to four inches long and shiny silver (at this stage they're called "smolt") and ready to move on. We carefully transfer them to a large insulated cooler and take them to the boat lauch at Riverside Park where the water is relatively calm. After acclimating them to the different temperature and water conditions of the Grand River, the kids set the salmon free to swim the rest of the distance to the open waters of Lake Michigan.
And from the Zoo Schoolers:
"Doing this project, I learned a lot about salmon. It's amazing to see how they grow in so little time - from an egg until now! I loved this project!!! "
Emily Hartwell
"The salmon raising project was one of the coolest things I've ever done! It was a fun test to show your responsibility towards caring for animals. Watching them be released showed how amazing an outcome can be if you put effort and responsibility into it. Quite a life lesson!
Allyson S.
"Taking care of the salmon was just one of the many different projects we had throughout the school year that was very enjoyable and gave the students a great experience. This was a special responsibility that was given to us and it didn't got to waste. Students jumped at the opportunity to take care of these creatures which included: feeding them, checking temerature of the water, and on occasion clean the tank. At the end we finally had to say goodbye and released them into the Grand River on May 22, 2014. "

Returner deals
Here at Camp America, we like to reward our participants who chose to spend their first summer at camp with us - by offering them fantastic options to return to camp. For Summer 2014, we have a fresh and exciting Returner Deal that is exceptionally friendly to not only your pocket – but also your camp's pocket...
Going back to the same camp?
For 2014, no program fee will be charged to your camp whatsoever* and Camp America are charging only £236 to you, if you arrange your own flight and transportation to camp. This deal is also available to returning camp staff who may have previously participated with an organisation other than Camp America**.
Should you wish Camp America to take care of your flight arrangements, then we'll certainly do so for an additional £80 – which covers a European Airport Security Tax & Fuel Surcharge (applicable to all flights). Your flight, which is based on a London to New York return***, will then be billed to your camp. As a Camp America returner, you will have the opportunity to negotiate your own pocket money rate directly with your camp**** and if you choose the CA flight your camp will simply deduct the price of your flight directly from your final pocket money – making it super easy and economical for you to secure your return to camp!
Both of these options include Camp America's medical insurance and our flight package to New York also includes airport collection, an overnight stay at our arrivals hotel and detailed travel to camp instructions.
*In both instances, a $35 US government administrative fee (SEVIS) is billed to your camp.
**Returners transferring to Camp America from another program will require a face-to-face interview.
***Alternative departure and arrival airports are available, on request.
****Once your salary has been agreed, ask your camp to send you a contract confirming the amount you will be paid.
Fancy trying a new camp?
Applicants wishing to return with Camp America, who are seeking placement on a new camp*, will incur a £96 placement fee which covers the cost involved in finding you a new placement. Thus, the own transport option is priced at £332 and the CA flight option is priced at £412. All other conditions above apply to both of these packages.
*Any returning applicant seeking a new placement will require a face-to-face interview.
Additional Costs
With our duty of care as safeguarders for the protection of children and vulnerable adults, Camp America require all returning participants to re-complete an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check (or equivalent), in order to return to camp. Police checks from 2013 or earlier will not be accepted or considered for re-placement in summer 2014.
All Camp America participants are required to have their doctor/physician complete the Camp America Medical Form, however any applicant who has a form signed and dated from 2013 may not require a new one - as long as you are returning the same camp and your camp is satisfied with the information provided in your original medical form. If your camp allow you to re-use your medical form for 2014, you are required to inform us of this - so we can keep your record fully up to date.
All Camp America participants are required to pay for their J-1 visa which is required to work at summer camp. Participants need to re-complete the full application for the visa each year they participate on camp.
2015 Embassy Fee: £160* (as of July 30th 2013)
Optional Baggage Insurance: £72
- *Subject to increase.
Please Note: The above prices are subject to change after October 1st 2014.

July 2, 2015
LOUDON, N.H. (AP) - Crew chief Pat Tryson says he is leaving Penske Racing for personal reasons, and his decision has nothing to do with driver Kurt Busch.
Tryson is moving to Michael Waltrip Racing at the end of this season to crew chief for Martin Truex Jr. His impending departure was revealed last week, as the No. 2 team readied for the start to the Chase for the championship.
Tryson says he is committed to finishing out the year with Busch, and the duo will try to win the Sprint Cup together before he leaves.
Busch called the timing of Tryson's decision unfortunate. He starts the Chase on Sunday at New Hampshire International Speedway ranked seventh in the standings.

In my experience Arai's (Giga, RX7, Corsair) have been some of the noisiest helmets I've ever used, the Tour X are reputed to be worse than the above, so must be really noisey.
I've got an X-lite X-551 with peak, use common earplugs and a Rally Raid screen. Did an 1150 mile trip (mostly high speeds of 80 - 90 MPH) in 23 hours last year and had absolutely no issue's whatsoever.
Only very occasionally in strong blustery headwinds do I have any problems, but tbh that would be the same on pretty much any bike.
IMO you should try (borrow) a few helmet/screen options before writing off 'the best bike you've had'.

AN Administration Police officer was on Wednesday evening shot dead by armed gangsters in Narok town. According to the Narok Police boss Peterson Maelo, two officers confronted the robbers who had broken into a supermarket and escaped with cash of an unknown amount.
"The gangsters may have panicked on seeing the officers and shot at the deceased several times on the head before taking his gun," he said.
He said the other officer shot at the gangsters injuring one before they fled to an unknown destination. "We found the injured robber's body yesterday morning in a ditch together with the AP's G3 rifle," he said.
The body was taken to Narok district Hospital mortuary. Police said they have launched a manhunt for the remaining gang members. He assured residents that security has been enhanced in order to reduce criminal activities in the area.
