Nomad Tanzania Wildebeest Migration Report
29 May 2015
News reaching us from the Serengeti is that Nomad guide Nathan spotted large herds of wildebeest and zebra yesterday crossing the seasonal river that brings water to Lake Magadi in Moru.
These pictures were taken by Nathan at Vidimbwini near the Simba kopjes and today the herds were seen moving from the Naabi Hill towards Olbaye, with a long line still moving into Moru.
14 May 2015
The herds are stretching from Ndutu, across the plains to Naabi and Lemuta, the Gol and Simba Kopjes are full of grunting gnu's and there are still some smaller herds further north near Barafu and towards Seronera. On Tara's recent trip to the Serengeti the cats were out in force with a pride of lions in the kopje right in front of camp roaring through the night, another pride with 11 cubs enjoying an afternoon kip not too far from camp, and a drive that came across not one, but TWO leopards. As always, the Serengeti is full of surprises.

16 April 2015
The beasts are keeping us all on their toes this year. While we had guides getting stuck in the dust only 2 weeks ago on the way to Piyaya, it seems that after the big rains started, there has been a huge U-turn of the main herds, and Golini/Naabi and the plains are pumping with animals and the dust has finally turned to mud and eventually lovely green shoots.
They stretch all the way from the Ndutu triangle, Naabi, Gol Kopjes and all the way down to Piyaya. There are still some zebra around Moru but the majority has gone from there, and sadly the Western Corridor is once again very empty. There are some splinter herds already up near Lobo and even Kogatende, but they are in smaller numbers. Some reports in Kenya claim that they first crossings happened in the Mara but we doubt these are true migrants. Will keep you posted on further movements.
Also, great news in from Nduara Loliondo that the wild dogs were seen hunting earlier this week.

(VENICE, CA) -- No matter what kinds of adventures the two bubbly blondes embark on, Rhyse and Rhylee Richards are always in the white hot center of the spotlight. This week the dynamic duo took steps to increase the glare, so to speak, by joining forces with LA's premiere talent agency LA Direct Models.
''We've been making a lot of changes getting ready for a big career push lately,'' offers Rhyse. ''This was just the next step for us.''
''But it's far from the last big news,'' hints her coy counterpart Rhylee. ''We have a lot in store so keep your eyes and ears open because the Richards sisters are just getting this party started!''
Last week they made quite a scene, first at the skinworXXX party with close friends Eva Angelina and Teagan Presley, then the next day at Erotica LA where they took to the airwaves of Playboy Radio for a naughty interview.
''It's was amazing the number of fans who walked up to us and begged to take a picture,'' Rhylee recalls. ''We weren't even signing and we had a line coming out the side of the Wicked booth where Playboy was broadcasting.''
''That was a lot of fun,'' Rhyse admits.
This week the two are hard at work on their latest web project, a couple of cutting edge web sites so secret they won't speak about them in public.
''It's a big deal,'' Rhylee assures us.
''You've never seen anything like this before,'' Rhyse confirms. ''It's going to blow fans minds.''
Until then these lovely ladies can be booked through LA Direct Models at http://www.ladirectmodels.com/view.php?ID=410&gender=female. They can also be booked for feature dance work through A List Features http://www.alistfeatures.com.

– Jamie Shea, NATO spokesman, BBC News, May 31, 1999, on civilian casualties inflicted by NATO in the Balkans.As Operation Protective Edge – which could have been dubbed "Pillar of Defensive II" or "Cast Lead III" – drags on, it is becoming increasingly clear that the government is misconstruing its role..Running the country vs. leading the nationIt seems to believe that its primary role is to run the country, rather than lead the nation. This is a disastrously inappropriate misperception of its taskThe manner in which the current round of military operations is being conducted clearly reflects a state of mind preoccupied with tactical management of existing realities, rather than strategic leadership, which strives to forge new realities.The objective of the campaign – articulated as the restoration of calm – makes any other conclusion difficult to reach. Indeed, when "calm" is chronically impermanent, the desire for a return to the precarious status quo ante has a ring of despairing resignation to it, and conveys little hope of any better realities.This debilitating syndrome was diagnosed in a perceptive opinion piece titled "Defeatism at its worst" (Jerusalem Post, July 14) by Anya Zhuravel Segal – who interestingly enough served on Binyamin Netanyahu's staff prior to the 2005 disengagement from Gaza: "We are facing a deep crisis of political leadership, and a deep disbelief in our power to shape reality."Sadly, it is difficult to imagine a more fitting characterization of the mindset of Israel's leadership in recent years, underscored not only by the definition of the objectives of military campaigns undertaken, but by the means employed to wage them.
Tactical brilliance, strategic imbecilityThere can be little disagreement that Israel has cutting- edge technologies that few countries can compete with at its disposal. While this impressive technological superiority has resulted in several brilliant tactical achievements by the military, on the strategic level Israel has displayed what can only be called utter imbecility, precipitating situations which have considerably degraded its security.Ever since the disastrous decision not to preempt the Arab attack in October 1973, which brought the country to the brink of annihilation, and cost it thousands of needless deaths, Israel – and Israelis – have paid heavily for policies of restraint and retreat, whether almost immediately, or with the passage of time.Nearly all Israel's subsequent strategic initiatives have involved restoring/transferring territory to defeated aggressors, in exchange for unkept – and often unkeepable – pledges. In every case the areas relinquished have, sooner or later, become platforms on which attacks are planned, prepared and perpetrated against Israel.As a result of Menachem Begin's 1977 decision to surrender the strategic expanses of Sinai, Israel faces an increasingly grim situation on its long southern border. The peninsula is descending into one of the most savage areas on the planet, ruled by brutal jihadi warlords increasingly putting Eilat and its booming tourist industry, without which its very viability will be imperiled, at risk.Strategic imbecility (cont.) Faced with an evident lack of Egyptian ability and/or will to cope with the unfolding realities, a situation is emerging which eventually will become intolerable for Israel, one which can only be addressed by jeopardizing the peace treaty with Cairo, which constituted the rationale for relinquishing the territory in the first place.The 1993/1995 Oslo Accords led to the deployment of armed Arab forces, drawn from the ranks of murderous terrorist organizations, within mortar range of the nation's parliament. With it came an unprecedented wave of bloody terror, currently held in check only by the effects of 2002's Operation Defensive Shield, subsequent redeployment of the IDF in the area, and the construction of a multi-billion dollar "separation barrier."The 2000 unilateral withdrawal (or more accurately flight) of the IDF turned southern Lebanon into an huge arsenal for the Shia-extremists Hezbollah, bristling with missiles that rained terror and destruction on millions of Israelis in 2006. The poorly conceived and inconclusive Second Lebanon War resulted in a dramatic increase in the deadly ordnance directed at Israel.True, Hezbollah has refrained from using it up to now. However, the fact that the organization did not join Hamas in the current round of fighting may well have more to do with its involvement in the civil war in Syria, an indication that it is loath to engage on two fronts, rather than an effect of any durable deterrence attributable to a memory of the 2006 engagement.Indeed, its huge accumulation of offensive weapons, coupled with persistent reports of extensive cross-border tunneling, hardly seem indicative of a diminished appetite to continue battle at an opportune moment in the future.
The most imbecilic of all Then came, arguably, the most imbecilic strategic initiative of all – the unilateral abandonment of the Gaza Strip (a.k.a. disengagement) and the expulsion of the Jewish residents from their thriving communities, which generated around 10 percent of the output of the economy and ample employment for its Arab residents.So far, for Israel this "inspired" decision has resulted in three (and counting) military campaigns, massive disruption of the socioeconomic routine, ongoing trauma and occasional tragedy.For the Palestinians the consequences have been far more calamitous – except of course for the cruel, corrupt cliques into whose clutches the disengagement delivered them, who have grown prosperous beyond their wildest dreams.It would be hard to conceive of any policy initiative more counter-productive – indeed, self-obstructive – than this. Unless of course one looks at the current government's efforts to end the hostilities in the south.For, despite the precarious and perilous impermanence of the status quo ante, the major – if not the only – demand the government seems to be raising for a cease-fire is the restoration of the situation that led to the current fighting.Worse, at the time of writing, the government was reportedly mulling some face-saving concessions for Hamas – ensuring that it could not only claim victory by remaining defiantly undefeated, but could flaunt tangible "achievements" – as it did after November 2012's Operation Pillar of Defense.Emerging exasperation But as the government stumbles on in a seemingly aimless – albeit, pyrotechnically impressive – endeavor, there are signs of growing public exasperation with its performance and eroding confidence in its competence.These were succinctly articulated by Zhuravel Segal in her previously cited op-ed, in which she echoes many of my thoughts: "I do not believe for a second that Israel, a country with outstanding...logistical accomplishments, cannot stop rocket fire from Gaza. What I see clearly, though, is incredible negligence and lack of systematic, long-term planning effort on behalf of Israel's top political brass and...the prime minister...These days we are rallying behind our prime minister's wartime rhetoric as if we were facing an enemy that could actually stand up to the concerted effort of a modern democracy with first-world diplomatic and military means at its disposal...."'Defeatism at its worst'She goes on to lament, in a tone of bitter disillusionment tinged with bewilderment: "... we send our very best people to fight a bunch of fanatics who assemble smuggled rockets at home and hide in tunnels under their wives' washing machines. Is this really the best we can do? If it is, I am deeply disappointed in Israel's long-term planning capability...This is defeatism at its worst. It hurts us where it really matters and turns us into an indefensible victim yet again, a complex one hopes Israel would have by now shed."There is much to heed in Segal's anguished words.For while Israel's highly effective civil defense apparatus has functioned admirably, reducing the casualty toll to the barest minimum, the ongoing imagery of Jews, forced by a Judeophobic militia to scurry for cover, and cower in shelters, is becoming increasing unacceptable, and is, or at least should be, incompatible with the founding ethos of the country.The prattle that presents the retaking of Gaza as an invalid strategic objective is ludicrous and should be discounted with disdain.Retaking of Gaza as a moral imperativeIt is becoming difficult to bear the claims that the mighty IDF – portrayed as the strongest army in the region, capable of prevailing over any of Israel's enemies, or combination thereof – cannot take an objective, barely 11-km. wide and 50-km. long, with no significant topographic barriers to impede its advance.Such a measure is the only way the government of Israel can discharge its moral duty toward its citizens. To refrain from undertaking this task is a moral abomination on several levels, implying that, just as Hamas uses its civilians as human shields against Israeli military attacks, so the government of Israel uses its civilians as human shields to fend off diplomatic attacks from the international community.Yes, such a measure will involve casualties – on both sides. But the blame for the blood shed must be laid squarely at the door of those who called for Israel to hand over the Gaza Strip to its sworn enemies – and of those who could have prevented it but, because they preferred privileged positions over political principle, did not.Retaking Gaza cannot be avoided, only delayed for a less opportune and more hazardous occasion, when the enemy will be better prepared, and casualties higher.
Dismantling of Gaza as a moral imperativeIn a recent report, the Post's Yaakov Lappin wrote: "The experience of Israel's military planners tells them that toppling the Hamas regime...is not necessarily in Israel's long-term strategic interests. It remains far from clear who might replace Hamas, and Gaza could turn into a Somalia-like strip of land filled with Islamic State militias that cannot be deterred at all."This sort of claim be must rejected out of hand. Indeed it was precisely this kind of thinking that induced Israel to deal with the PLO lest it end up with Hamas. Israel agreed to deal with the PLO and got Hamas....No matter what Arab regime is installed in Gaza at the end of the fighting, there is always the risk of it being replaced by more implacable and inimical successors.Israel cannot determine who will rule Gaza...unless it does so itself.To do this, it must impose unconditional surrender on Hamas and begin the systematic dismantling of Gaza and the relocation of its population in third party countries, as I first proposed two decades ago in "Why we can't dump Gaza" (Jerusalem Post, December 9, 1992), and in numerous subsequent Into the Fray columns.
Frittering away a unique opportunityToday Israel has a unique opportunity to eliminate the menace of Gaza and offer its non-belligerent population a better life elsewhere. It is difficult to imagine the current benign circumstances reoccurring:
(a) support of Israel in the US is at near-record highs, outstripping that for Palestinians (even among Hispanics and Blacks);
(b) there is deep hostility for Hamas in Egypt under Abdel Fattah al-Sisi;
(c) the Arab world is distracted by the internal tumult raging across it, with little time or resources to devote to the Palestinian issue;
(d) Hezbollah is entangled in the Sunni-Shia wars in Syria/Iraq, and unlikely to engage in an additional front against Israel.So in the words of the sage Hillel, "If not now, when? The question is, will the government rise to the occasion.Will it be equal to the challenge? Or will it let the country continue to drift, rudderless in the stormy sea that surround it – until an unexpected wave swamps it?

Vintage: 2012
2012 has, so far been a positive year for wineries around the world. While it may be a little too early to speak of the wines being made in the northern hemisphere, European and North American wineries have already begun reporting that their harvesting season has been generally very good, and are predicting to continue with the kind of successes they saw in 2011. However, 2012 has been something of a late year for France, due to unpredictable weather throughout the summer, and the grapes were ripening considerably later than they did in 2011 (which was, admittedly, an exceptionally early year). French wineries are claiming, though, that this could well turn out to be advantageous, as the slow ripening will allow the resulting wines to express more flavour and features of the terroir they are grown in. The southern hemisphere has seen ideal climatic conditions in most of the key wine producing countries, and Australia and New Zealand particularly had a superb year, in particular with the Bordeaux varietal grapes that grow there and which love the humidity these countries received plenty of. Also enjoying a fantastic year for weather were wineries across Argentina and Chile, with the Mendoza region claiming that 2012 will be one of their best vintages of the past decade. Similar claims are being made across the Chilean wine regions, where Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon had an especially good year. These two grape varietals also produced characterful wines on the coastal regions of South Africa this year.
Region: Languedoc Roussillon
The French region of Languedoc Roussillon can claim to be amongst one of the oldest continuing wine regions in the world, with a history which stretches back to the ancient Greeks almost three thousand years ago. Today, Languedoc Roussillon is recognized as a region associated with fine wines made from many of the noble grapes, and with over 700,000 acres under vine, is a veritable powerhouse of viticulture which has helped shape the world of wines as we know it. Languedoc Roussillon is situated in the very south of France, and enjoys a fine, hot, Mediterranean climate which allows the vines there to reach full ripeness and provide reliable yields each year. Languedoc Roussillon today produces over a third of France's wines, and the bottles which leave the wineries of the region remain popular across the globe.
Country: France
Year in, year out, France enjoys its prestigious reputation as the producer of the finest wines in the world. With a wine making history which spans several thousand years and owes its expertise to the Romans, it comes as little surprise that this most highly esteemed of the Old World wine countries continues to impress and enchant both novices and experts to this day. Despite the rise in quality of wines from neighboring European countries, not to mention the New World, the French wine industry continues to boom, with up to eight billion bottles being produced in recent years. However, France prides itself on always putting quality before quantity, and the wide range in fine produce is a testament to the dedication and knowledge of the wineries across the country. Indeed, from rich and complex reds to light and aromatic white wines, French wines are as varied and interesting as they are enjoyable to drink, making this country a firm favorite for wine lovers across the globe.

Mykonos, Santorini + the Aegean Cyclades Islands
Hotels in Mykonos, Santorini + the Aegean Cyclades Islands
Stone walls surround this luxury hotel atop Rodari hill, and the boutique property is a hot spot for parties around the asymmetrical outdoor swimming pool. The mostly white rooms in the 1850 mansion, one of the oldest in the area, echo the white townscape below.
The history of this three-level island hotel goes back into the 19th century: built in 1895, it belonged to historic Symi Island figures like Vangelitsa, and was remodeled in 2000.
Arched wooden gates, a cobbled courtyard, and a blue waterwheel—the hotel's namesake—mark the entrance to Manganos Hotel. Situated south of Chios, the property was built in 1990 as a mansion-style accommodation and renovated in 2007.
For those who love the isle of Mykonos but would rather avoid its mazelike town and its summer crowds, Pietra e Mare on the southeastern coast is your ideal Greek retreat.
A modern newcomer with cube-shaped rooms near Karavostasi port.
Just outside the town of Naoussa, this island resort is surrounded by tropical gardens and faces its own private beach. The property has 11 guest rooms and 46 suites, decorated almost entirely in shades of white.

German medal hope Mikitenko pulls out of world champs
Last Updated: Sunday, August 9, 2009 - 16:24
Berlin: London marathon champion Irina Mikitenko has pulled out of this month's world athletics championships because of poor form, the German federation (DLV) said on Saturday.
"Irina Mikitenko's withdrawal is a blow for our team," DLV sports director Juergen Mallow told reporters in Cottbus during an athletics meeting.
"Irina did not manage to hit world championship form in the St Moritz altitude training camp," he said, adding the death of her father two weeks ago was the reason for her poor preparations.
"We are very, very sad about this," said Mallow.
Mikitenko, winner in London for the last two years, was one of the favourites for the women's marathon title at the Aug. 15-23 championships in Berlin.

Essay - Current Situation the Automobile Industry is Highly Competitive. BMW Had...
Current Situation
The automobile industry is highly competitive. BMW had temporary set-backs caused by competition from Lexus, Acura and Infiniti in the late 1980s, but rebounded to claim a significant position in ***** luxury/performance segment. BMW expects its new Z3 Roadster to engage ***** competition with other luxury car import manufacturers such as Porsche and Mercedes. The au*****motive industry ***** mature and market share is critical to survival. Consumers are less brand-loyal than in the past, and every market segment has an *****creasing number of choices. To increase sales and gain ground in the market share battle, companies must improve *****ir ability both to acquire first-time customers ***** to develop customer loyalty to their current brands.
Prior to Phase I marketing efforts for the ***** Roadster, BMW was a very traditional company.
It advertised through traditional media, mostly print and television, and in traditional ways. BMW ***** thought of as being a serious and tradition-bound company ***** cus*****mer perceptions that ***** meant German manufacturing with resulting quality engineering and driving performance. BMW cars were branded as "Ultimate Driving Machines."
The Z3 Roadster required a m*****jor revamping of BMW's marketing efforts and Phase I was undertaken to make several changes. First, traditional marketing would not be sufficient for ***** new vehicle because the Z3's target market was defined in psychographic terms ra*****r than ***** demographic terms. Non-traditional media would be more cost efficient for the psychographic segmentation and ***** deliver a bro*****der audience. The Z3 was marketed as a fun and stylish vehicle while preserving the BMW driving performance reputation. And, ***** I replaced "Made in Germany" with "***** by *****" to reflect that the Z3 was manufactured in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
***** of the Problem
While Phase I was a great success for BMW, the company needs to more fully assess some of the shortcomings of this initiative. And, because Phase I ended well before the actual launch of ***** new Z3 Roadster, a Ph*****se II marketing strategy needs to be defined that will begin in January 1996. This new phase should compliment and extend the ***** of Phase I as well as incorporate lessons learned.
Phase ***** has adequately assessed ***** need for both traditional ***** non-traditional elements with a 40/60 split, respectively, between the two. This case study has down played ***** ***** because ***** the different psychographic characteristics of ***** expected buyers that fall across multiple demographic segments. However, it appears ***** demographic considerations need ***** be considered more strongly in ***** selection of traditional advertising vehicles. For example, all traditional television and print advertising is currently on a n*****tional basis, but it's likely that there are certain local markets, namely large cities, make good advertising targets through the use of ***** newspapers. Also, ********** a *****iceable lack of focus on Generation Xers in the ***** advertising ef*****ts. Although this group is tough to reach through traditional *****, ********** ***** ***** vehicles ***** ***** out to this group.
***** non-traditional elements of Phase I also present *****

Oberstar: Airline legislation stuck in Senate would've helped trapped passengers
Minnesota Rep. Jim Oberstar says that legislation stalled in the U.S. Senate would've helped the airline passengers that were stuck on the Rochester tarmac for six hours in unacceptable conditions.
On Friday, 47 passengers spent a total of nine hours on a small plane after being rerouted to Rochester due to bad weather conditions. The plane was heading to Minneapolis-St. Paul International from Houston. The passengers were trapped on the plane all night with overflowing toilets, no food, and crying babies.
The U.S. House passed a passenger bill of rights this spring that would place stricter regulations on airlines that could have prevented the situation on the Continental flight. They have passed similar legislation in the past that never made it out of the Senate.
Oberstar, the chair of the House Transportation Committee, urged the Senate to act on the legislation to prevent future problems.
"When enacted it will require airlines and large and medium airport to have emergency contingent plans for tarmac delays, including providing adequate food and water, restroom, cabin ventilation, access to medical treatment," he said, according to Minnesota Public Radio.

Advent Calendars Christmas Ornaments
The fabric wall-hanging advent calendars are great for children because the pieces are soft and have Velcro on the back to hang and re-hang year after year. I love the advent boxes that come with numbered doors for every day in December leading up to Christmas and can house tiny treasures such as chocolate, candy, trinkets and toys to surprise children with a little something each day to get them excited!

|(David) Price is Wrong for Red Sox
Justin Masterson has pitched well lately for the Red Sox. So well, in fact, that many called for him to remain in the rotation even when Daisuke Matsuzaka returns from injury. His start Friday night against began well with four scoreless innings. With a 2-0 lead in the fifth inning, the wheels fell off the bus.
In that inning, the Rays scored six runs off Masterson, four of which came on Evan Longoria's grand slam. In all, Masterson allowed six runs on six hits and three walks to go with six strikeouts in six innings pitched. For the second straight game, the Sox offense sputtered around, and Masterson took the loss in a 6-2 final.
Dustin Pedroia, 2B: Pedroia finished 3-5 and scored one of the Sox two runs. His effort raised his season batting average to .298.
Red Sox "Clutch" Hitting: Where do I begin. The Red Sox had nine hits and six walks, but could only plate two runs. There was no big culprit, as three players left three men on base each (Julio Lugo, Mike Lowell, and Jason Bay). Three others left two men on base (Jacoby Ellsbury, Jason Varitek, David Ortiz).
W: Andy Sonnanstine (1-3)
L: Justin Masterson (2-1)

Life about to change for quake uninsured
Relevant offers
Christchurch earthquake
Despite two winters living in a caravan on the front lawn of his home of 45 years - land deemed among the most risky to build on in Christchurch - 65-year-old Phil Thompson considers himself luckier than most.
He was uninsured when the earthquakes hit, and his green-blue (technical category 3) Shirley home has been stripped of furniture and plaster, is raised on wooden blocks, and is sinking in the middle.
Now retired, and unable to afford a builder, he has no choice but to repair it himself.
"She's a grand old lady, and we just need to give her some botox. I'm retired, so I have nothing better to do anyway."
When the February 2011 earthquake hit, the house "moved extensively" off its foundations, the power was cut, and it became unlivable.
Thompson said he paid insurance on the house for about 30 years.
But when he and his wife separated in 2000 he could no longer afford it, and without insurance he was also ineligible for Earthquake Commission cover.
The day after the quake, Thompson, his 53-year-old partner Debra Savage, and their cat Boss, moved into a tiny caravan on their front lawn, shifting all their belongings into a shipping container in the driveway. "The house is the castle, we're just temporarily in the sentry box."
For 18 months they have showered at a neighbour's house, carried a torch and climbed through their broken home to use the toilet, and kept a small amount of clothes in a plastic container under a table.
A dehumidifier stops condensation from wetting the bedding at night. "We have seen snow in this caravan, flooding in this caravan, and been through two winters - it's not fun."
The pair both have serious health problems and Thompson said he had been getting "a little bit angry at the bastards holding me back", and at first he had felt "disenfranchised and alone" as one of "the great uninsured".
Thompson's land was late last year labelled TC3, the most unstable in the city that hasn't been red-zoned.
Many disgruntled TC3 residents have protested against the repair delays, a lack of answers, and the miscommunication over their land.
But Thompson said he sighed with relief when he went green-blue and not red.
"I used to feel terrified being uninsured, but now I feel lucky.
"I feel sympathy for the insured, because they are getting royally dealt to by insurance companies and the Earthquake Commission.
"I don't have to wait for other people to make a decision because I'm paying."
Instead of waiting on bureaucratic hurdles, Thompson must wait on the weather.
He had an engineer assess his foundations last week and said work was expected to start on his house within the next two weeks.
"We may be uninsured but we are not whingeing about it, we just want to get in and do it."

Construction spending climbed in May to the highest level since October 2008, according to an analysis released on July 1 by the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC). "There were solid monthly and year-over-year gains in May for all major construction categories—private nonresidential, residential and public," said AGC Chief Economist Ken Simonson.

But contractors increasingly report difficulty in finding workers with the right skills to construct large and complex projects."

On July 6, the leadership of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, the American Trucking Associations, and the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance signed on to a letter thanking Sen. Deb Fischer (R-Neb) for introducing a bill that seeks to reform the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).

Annualized turnover rates at large and small truckload fleets each fell 12 percentage points in the first quarter of the year, according to Bob Costello, Chief Economist of the American Trucking Associations (ATA). "Clearly, the decline in driver turnover in the first quarter was significant, but what is less clear is why it dropped so much and whether turnover will continue to remain low," he said.
OSHA, employers respond to injury reporting changes
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has been forced to work harder to respond to the increased number of incidents resulting from the agency's revised injury reporting rule, which went into effect on Jan. 1. Previously, employers only had to report to OSHA work related fatalities or incidents where three or more workers were hospitalized, but now reporters must report all work related fatalities, as well as every work related hospitalization amputation and loss of an eye.
