Final game of campaign for U18s
by Stuart Vose
Young Black Cats looking to end 2013-14 on a high.
Coach Carlton Fairweather is challenging the U18s to end their season on a high when they play their final league fixture of the campaign this weekend.
The Young Black Cats head to Reading on Saturday (KO 12 noon) looking to build on a run of form which has seen them defeated just twice in their last eight games.
"Reading were similar to us in that they had a slow start and developed over the season," Fairweather told safc.com.
"We had a period where we really got going and now we're looking to finish on a high and win our final game."
Sunderland can finish as high as third in the Barclays U18 Premier League, depending on their result this weekend and the fortunes of other sides.
And regardless of league position, Fairweather says the U18s' season can certainly be considered a positive one.
"We've done really well in the way we've applied ourselves both individually and collectively," he explained.
"The season's been a definite success. We've been playing in a better league than we have done in previous years, so to finish where we have is fantastic in itself.
"I feel we've developed well collectively."

GREELEY, Colo. — Voluntary evacuations are in effect in several areas close to the Poudre River on Monday morning, including F Street on the north side of Greeley.
There's currently no immediate threat, but the city is expecting more places under water, affecting homes and businesses.
Some low-lying areas including a far look like a lake. Flood waters are 2 to 3 feet deep in spots, forcing road closures throughout the city.
As a precaution, the Greeley Fire Department has issued a voluntary evacuation notice for all homes and businesses near F Street on the north, Second Street on the south, 35th Avenue on the west and 25th Avenue on the east.
Many neighbors who live near the river are not taking any chances and have already put up sandbags.
"Once the water started collecting over there and moving up, it's not moving down like it should," Greeley resident Ken Vegter said. "Hopefully Mother Nature will cooperate and slow down."
Volunteers have handed out about 30,000 sandbags and they have about 25,000 remaining. The city is urging people under the voluntary evacuation notice to be prepared to leave at a moment's notice.
A mandatory evacuation remains a possibility.

Can You
Justify Your Service Dog Training Costs?
I was very
interested in trying to get us into the Committed Canine class,
but am hearing some controversy in regards to the matter. I have
been told that I can take Jack to Petsmart and have him trained
for $200, have you heard of this? I guess I am looking for you
to assure me that I am doing the right thing by deciding to come
to you for $800.00 more plus transportation and lodging. I
greatly appreciate your help and all you do.
I have never heard of PetSmart or
Petco taking on the role of training Service Dogs. I have been
in a PetSmart when the basic obedience classes were being held.
I am not impressed with the level of training they offer for
"basic obedience of pet dogs", and neither are the dozen of
clients that I have had come to us for training who report they
"tried their classes but it didn't work". Based on
the inferiority of the training for "basic pet" level classes,
from my experience, even if PetSmart offered a Service Dog
training option, I would have no confidence that the training
would be at the level required for Service Dogs.
I did some
research on the internet about the trainers who are employed at
the large pet department stores. They are typically right out
of a quickie class (perhaps a month or two of instruction) and
they are in the very early stage of their training "career".
While they may be able to repeat what they read in a book or
show you techniques that they learned when training their own
pet dog during their class, they have very little experience
working with dogs or people. "Book smarts" only gets a person
so far, especially when we are dealing with living, breathing
animals (both dogs and people!).
On the
contrary, I have over 25 years of experience working with dogs
and their people, and the last 9 of those years I have run my
own, full-time professional dog training business. Teaching
dogs and their people has been my sole occupation since February
2002, when I left a 20 year career as a professional biologist
(during which time, of course, I studied animal behavior as well
as human psychology and sociology). While I was working in
corporate America, I also maintained a side-job teaching dog
owners in class situations as well as privately. My husband has
been working, full-time, with me for nine years as a
professional trainer as well. So, combined, we have over 35
years of experience working in the field.
A service
dog's level of training must be at "Navy Seal Special Ops" level
while most pet dog training needs to be a Shopping Mall Guard
standard. There's no comparison. The expectations of a Service
Dog's behavior in public and the dog's need to be able to
execute commands that mitigate a person's disability (regardless
of whether that is in the home or in public) are at a level that
requires exceptional training, not just a "beginner obedience
class" stage of performance. So, my advice to anyone who wants
to employ the use of a Service Dog is to do a lot of homework
and not cut corners. Whether a person chooses to train the dog
themselves with the guidance of a professional trainer or
whether they acquire the dog from an organization, the dog's
training must be maintained, daily, for the rest of its service
life. The training must be upheld at a very high standard.
Choosing the right trainer or organization will be instrumental
in whether the person can actually maintain the dog, or not.
While cost
should not be at the top of the list as far as a decision
criterion to identify the person or organization from whom you
receive training and support for your Service Dog, obviously it
matters. In comparison to every other Service Dog training
scenario that I have been able to identify doing thorough
research, our services are less expensive.
In general,
here are the most common options available to acquire a Service
"Free" to qualified
individuals. There are large organizations that may be able to
offer a dog "for free". But, typically one must be put on a
waiting list that is usually no less than two years. They
usually have a $20 - $100 non-refundable "application" fee.
Also, most of these "free" Service dogs require that the
recipient pay for travel to the organization's location for no
less than 10 days, often 2 weeks or more to learn how to handle
the dog. The recipient usually must pay for some type of
equipment or learning materials, as well as the housing and
travel costs. It's important to note that these organizations
require a person to "qualify" for the dog. Very few of these
organizations place dogs into service to mitigate psychiatric
disabilities like panic disorders or PTSD. Typically, these
organizations do not permit the owner to provide the dog and
they may also have policies regarding what breeds they train and
place as Service Dogs.
"Free" if you do your own fund
raising. It's fairly common to see organizations that claim to
place SDs for little or no cost. They usually claim that their
cost to maintain and train a dog is between $10,000 - $25,000.
They require that most or all of that money is "donated" to
their "not-for-profit" organization through fund raising efforts
that you, personally, must assume. They may set you up with a
fund-raising counselor who will guide you on how to solicit the
$10,000+ "donation". Then, you may still be placed on a waiting
list for a dog. Like the option above, few of these
organizations place dogs into service to mitigate psychiatric
disabilities like panic disorders or PTSD. Typically, these
organizations do not permit the owner to provide the dog and
they may also have policies regarding what breeds they train and
place as Service Dogs.
Pay a professional trainer for
instruction. This can be a private situation or a class such as
we offer. This requires that the individual assess the
professional trainer's credentials to ascertain whether s/he has
the experience and resources to provide the necessary
information and training methods to teach a person and her dog
at the standard required of a fully functioning service dog.
Since the trainer does not have to incur the cost of acquiring
and then maintaining the dog (which can be quite costly), the
cost of professional instruction can be a very reasonable
option. The waiting list is typically shorter. The owner may
be permitted to choose the breed, or use their existing dog.
Train your own dog. Because, in
the USA a federal accreditation or certification program for
Service Dogs does not exist, and most States do not have
requirements regarding certification or licensing of Service
Dogs, just about anyone can decide to train their own dog to
mitigate their disability. There are "public access" laws that
pertain to people with disabilities that use a dog to mitigate
their disability, but they do not include any information about
certification. Unfortunately, this means that unworthy dogs
whose behavior is not acceptable for public access may be
donning a Service Dog cape and making a bad example for the rest
of the folks who use well trained Service animals. So, while
this may see the least expensive in terms of green-money, it can
be the most costly to Service Dog owners, in the long run.
organizations charge an application processing fee. While we do
not do that, I fully understand the point. Writing this email
response to you has taken me over an hour of my time and I will
get nothing for it but the opportunity to post the information
on my website so that I won't have to answer the question,
again, rather I can just forward someone to the webpage. The
reason that we chose to increase our prices is because of all of
the administration and follow-up time we spend with potential
students as well with our student clients who have been through
the class. When I first priced the class, I did so based on the
resource requirements to actually hold the class (one-on-one
time with students). What I found, after tracking over a year
worth of data, is that I spend more time outside of the class
performing administration duties than I do with direct
interaction with students and their dogs. Much of my time is
spent answering questions, speaking on the phone with students
or prospective students, discussing breeds of dogs, discussing
the person's disability, and the conversations (both in email
and on the phone) are often hi-jacked to discussing a person's
pet dog's behavioral issues. Essentially, I am working for
free much of the time, and the bank that holds my mortgage
requires "real" money.
non-for-profit organizations pay their employees;
administrators, trainers, kennel help, the printer that prints
their training materials, the companies that make their Service
Dog vests and the electric company that provides them
utilities. The employees of the non-for-profit organizations
don't work for free. I happen to think that our level of
instruction and training is exceptional. And, it is not easy
to find. It is still a "deal" at the prices that we charge. To
determine that for yourself would be more powerful, so I would
encourage you to do your own research.
As an
example of an organization that offers both trained dogs and
offers the option for people to provide their own dog for
training, here is a link to a Service Dog organization website:
I cut the
following directly from that page (publish date of this article
2/2010 - so any changes since then will not be included here):
you want to use your own dog to train:
Step #1: Application.
Please fill out one of our Service Dog Applications and return
it to us along with the $75 processing fee.
Step #2: After
acceptance to our program, you will need to set up a date and
time for us to evaluate your dog for suitability for service dog
work and the tasks you need the dog to perform for you as a
Service Dog. The evaluation is $500.
Step #3: If your dog
is accepted to become a Service Dog, you will then be required
to sign our contract. *If the dog is not accepted, you will need
to make the decision of whether to continue the program with one
of our dogs or discontinue the program. If you decide to
continue with one of our dogs, you will be required to make a
$500 deposit for a hold fee for one of our dogs.
Step #4: Make the
$7000 donation to our organization for the training program and
Step #5:
Schedule your training week with us.
Step #6: Arrive at our
facility to begin training.
As a
comparison, we charge $1000 for 2 full days of training
instruction for Phase One. Then, we charge $1000 for 2 full
days of training instruction for Phase Two. So, that's four
full days of training. They provide a "week". I don't know if
that's 5 days or 7 days, I cannot find that on their site. I
would guess it's a five day week. So, their 5 days costs $7575
and our four days costs $2000. Our costs (which are
specifically for training a dog that is owned, housed and cared
for by the student), include many hours of administrative time.
While I understand organizations which require an Application
fee to cover those costs, we do not require an application fee
for our program, but rather we include that fairly intensive
administration service in the price of the class. We spend
many hours communicating with the student via email or telephone
both before and after the class to answer questions and provide
training support. Those services are included in our
course fee. We also have a Yahoo list for students which
requires our time answering questions and giving suggestions to
students who can also consult with each other via that medium.
When making a price comparison between organizations, I
recommend inquiring what is included in the training fee, if
that information is not listed on the organization's website.
I make no claims regarding what is included in the organization
I used to compare to our service beyond what they had listed on
their website when I created the comparison for this article.
While I did
offer a comparison, it was not to disrespect that organization
in any way, or to make any judgments regarding their services.
Like our facility, the example organization is located about an
hour from a larger metropolitan area - they are in KY we are in
south-central IL, so a comparison is probably fair. I
provided the example in this article simply as an means to
encourage folks to do their own research to see what is "out
We don't
price our services based on other trainers' fees. We set
it at a level that we believe is fair for our geographical area
and the service we provide. If we lived closer to a
large metropolitan area, we'd have to charge significantly more
to cover expenses. But, then, folks would be paying for
our rent, rather than our high quality instruction. When
you come to train with us, you come to our 50 acre working sheep
ranch in rural Illinois where we have converted a large, metal
building into a training space. I print my own manuals,
rather than have a printer do the work. That way I can
edit and update as necessary, and it also results in less
expensive training materials for our clients (written training
materials are included in our class fee). We don't
think a dog needs a fancy facility to learn how to behave
properly. At times, to offer a good amount of "natural"
distractions, we train outdoors by our large pond, where the
sheep are grazing in an adjoining paddock and where our geese
and ducks are maintained free-range. We also understand that a typical "client" for a
Service Dog usually has a reduced income compared to the general
population. We don't don matching "Trainer" wear with a
printed company logo when we instruct class. And, mostly,
we believe that our methods are very "efficient" because we use
processes that dogs understand - and dogs usually can learn very
quickly, then they need lots of time to practice in different
locations. That is why we structure our program the way
that we do. We can accomplish a lot of learning in a short
time because of the processes we use and because of our
extensive years of experience.
I often
believe that the typical American is impressed more with the
glitz of "packaging" and "marketing" than they are with
substance. We offer substance in our training processes
and integrity in the manner with which we deal with people and
their dogs. We do not add fancy wrapping so we don't
charge for it, either.

A new batch of Senate polls are out. There's not much good news for the Democrats:
Republican Linda McMahon cut her opponent's advantage in Connecticut's Senate race from 10 percentage points to 6 points in a week, according to a new Fox News battleground state poll. … [A]fter a debate that featured Blumenthal freezing up when asked about job creation, McMahon seems to be in contention. She now trails in the survey of likely voters 43 percent to 49 percent.
Sharron Angle clings to a two-point advantage over Harry Reid, and Dino Rossi is one point up on Patty Murray. Meanwhile, the most stark indication of the president's declining fortunes comes from Ohio:
GOP Senate candidate Rob Portman, a former Cincinnati-area congressman and budget boss to President George W. Bush, maintained a 17-point lead for a second week over Democratic Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher in a new Fox News battleground state poll of likely voters. … But the killer for Democratic aspirations in Ohio this year is likely President Obama's dreadful ratings in the state. This week's poll saw Obama's approval in the state fall to a new low in Ohio of 33 percent, down 5 points from last week.
The only positive note for the Democrats: Christine O'Donnell is trailing by double digits. It seems Karl Rove was right. Nevertheless, if McMahon continues to cut into Blumenthal's lead and Rossi and Angle hold on, Delaware will not matter. It does and will continue to serve as a warning that the GOP is fully capable of shooting itself in the foot in 2012; not every Republican can win in the Obama era.

By Samantha L. QuigleyAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, March 9, 2006 The people of Iraq are rising up against an insurgency bent on derailing democracy in the country, a Multinational Force Iraq spokesman said today.
"The people of Iraq are uniting against the insurgency," Army Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch said during a news conference from Baghdad. "Out in al Anbar, the terrorists and foreign fighters have become the enemy to the people."
People in that province have collectively turned against Jordanian terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and his network, Lynch said. Seven of Zarqawi's leaders have been killed in Anbar since September, and insurgent access to Ramadi has been physically blocked, he added.
Another way Iraqi citizens, as a whole, are uniting against the insurgency is by giving coalition members and Iraqi security forces "actionable tips." Lynch described actionable tips as those that provide information that coalition and Iraqi forces can do something with. Of all calls to the national tip line, 98 percent are actionable, he said.
"Based on these kinds of tips, since November, we have been able to kill or capture 41 bomb makers," Lynch said. These kinds of tips also have led to the discovery of more than 1,500 weapons caches across Iraq.
Iraqis are fed up with Zarqawi and his network's attempts to discredit the Iraqi government and disrupt the political process, Lynch said. "He's trying to tear Iraq apart at the seams to keep it from unifying as a nation," he said. "He's trying to stop the democratic process, but he can't."
Insurgents' attempts come at great cost to Iraqi civilians. Of 290 casualties in Iraq since Feb. 25, 239 were Iraqi civilians, Lynch said. Those casualties were the result of 40 car bombs that detonated while Iraqis were in line at gas stations or on their way to the market or school, Lynch said.
There were 555 attacks against coalition members, Iraqi security forces and civilians last week, he said. Yesterday alone, there were 80, he said.
In general, attacks were up in Anbar last week, but were isolated around Ramadi and Fallujah, he said. The north saw a drop in attacks against civilians, though there has been an increase in direct-fire attacks against Iraqi security forces, Lynch said.
Southern Iraq and Baghdad also have seen a reduction in attacks. In Baghdad, however, they have resulted in a greater number of casualties, Lynch said. He predicts more attacks as the Iraqi government prepares to seat its council of representatives March 12. "Remember, democracy equals failure for the insurgency," he said. "There's going to be more attacks to discredit the Iraqi government and derail the democratic process."
Lynch said he expects the government to react to any future attacks as it did to the Feb. 22 bombing of the Golden Mosque in Samarra -- as a capable Iraqi government directing a capable Iraqi security force that now numbers 240,000. This, he said he believes, will prevent the enemy from achieving its goals.
Those 240,000 Iraqi security forces participated in 461 operations across Iraq last week, Lynch said. Of those, Iraqi forces independently planned, resourced and executed 34 percent.
Lynch also updated numbers related to the sectarian violence that began with the Golden Mosque bombing. "As of today, we can confirm 452 civilian deaths since the 22nd of February," he said, adding that the number could be greater, and deaths directly attributable to sectarian violence were unclear.
Of 81 reported mosque attacks, it was confirmed that 23 sustained significant damage, and of those, eight were totally destroyed, Lynch said. The coalition confirmed 17 had light damage, and 41 had no damage. He also confirmed that there were 83 demonstrations since Feb. 22, with only five resulting in any acts of violence.
As the insurgency tries to re-establish an Islamic state in Iraq, Lynch said, the coalition is keeping a close eye on two of Iraq's neighbors. "We are concerned about two specific neighbors that seem to be particularly unhelpful, Syria and Iran," he said. "There are clear indications that Iran is supporting the insurgency in Iraq."
Despite this, Lynch noted Iraq is at peace with its neighbors. It is an ally on the war on terrorism, has a representative government that can respect human rights of its citizens, and has a security force capable of maintaining domestic order and denying the country as a safe haven for terrorists, he said.

Here's a little lunchtime fare for you.
A Mount Pleasant resident spotted a large alligator enjoying a meal on the golf course and managed to get a couple of great pictures.
The gator had pulled a large fish from a pond and was wolfing it down when a couple of vultures got in on the act. Thanks to Tom Rosling of Mount Pleasant who shot these photographs.
An alligator estimated to be between 10-12 feet long was spotted enjoying (and protecting) a meal at Dunes West.×

One-Headed Smokebush Conospermum densiflorum subsp. unicephelatum Interim Recovery Plan 2004-2009)

Conospermum densiflorum subsp. unicephalatum was first collected by William Blackwell in 1932 "near Gingin between Midland and Moora" and recollected in 1974 and 1975. All other previous herbarium collections except for one on the Great Northern Highway have been relocated in recent surveys.
Conospermum densiflorum subsp. unicephalatum is currently known from five populations on the road and rail verge within a 10km stretch near Gillingarra between Mogumber and Moora. It is known from a total of 295 adult and 886 juvenile plants.
Conospermum densiflorum subsp. unicephalatum is a conspicuous plant when flowering, and is an erect perennial shrub to 0.6 m tall. The stems and foliage have long, spreading hairs. The leaves are crowded, filiform, ca. 30-40 mm long, with white, spreading hairs. The peduncle is leafless, with a single, almost globular, head-like inflorescence which is 1.5 cm in diameter. The floral bracts are slender and hairy and as long as the flowers. The flowers are tubular and two-lipped, ca. 10 mm long and bluish-white in colour (Patrick and Brown 2001).
Conospermum densiflorum subsp. unicephalatum differs from C. densiflorum subsp. densiflorum in that it has a single head of flowers on each scape, rather than several (up to 10) heads forming a compact corymb (Brown et al. 1998).
Distribution and habitat
Conospermum densiflorum subsp. unicephalatum is restricted to low lying sandy clay soils with surface lateritic gravel, in an area between Gingin and Moora over a range of about 10 km. A previous collection in 1974, which has not been relocated, extends this range to 35km. Generally the plants are healthy, although the surrounding habitat is quite disturbed. Habitat consists of heathland of Acacia acuminata, A. puchella, Adenanthos cygnorum, Allocasuarina campestris, Austrostipa elegantissima, Daviesia preissii, Dryandra serratulioides subsp. serratulioides (DRF taxon ranked as Vulnerable), Conostylis setigera, Calothamnus pachystachyus (Priority 4), Glischrocaryon aureum, Hibbertia sp., Labichea lanceolata, Melaleuca sp., Ptilotus sp. and Verticordia sp.
Conospermum densiflorum subsp. unicephalatum appears to be a disturbance opportunist as new seedlings are often located following disturbances such as gravel extraction.
Biology and ecology
Very little is known about the biology and ecology of the genus Conospermum. Most Conospermums are insect pollinated by either native bees or flies which trigger the explosive mechanism in the flower. Although copious amounts of fruit are produced, the amount of viable seed is low. Propagation of Conospermum by cuttings is difficult (Sainsbury 1991). In May 2001, one batch of 14 cuttings of Conospermum densiflorum subsp. unicephalatum cuttings was planted by BGPA, but these did not strike (A. Shade pers. comm. Amanda Shade, Horticulturalist, Botanic Garden and Parks Authority). Conospermum seedlings generally develop a tap root (Sainsbury 1991).
Initial germination rates from untreated seed trials have been variable, ranging from 16-67% (A. Crawford unpublished data Andrew Crawford, Senior Technical Officer, CALMs Threatened Flora Seed Centre).
Conospermum densiflorum subsp. unicephalatum appears to be a disturbance opportunist, with germination apparently stimulated by soil disturbance where gravel has been extracted. Response to fire is unknown, but as it is a seeder, the plants are likely to be killed by fire, and then germinate from soil stored seed.
Dieback testing for resistance to Phytophthora spp. has been carried out by CALMs Science Division. Three plants were tested and were found to be resistant to the disease.
There has been some debate by field staff as to the differences between Conospermum densiflorum subsp. unicephalatum and the common subsp. densiflorum. Populations of the two subspecies occur in the same area in identical habitat, and some specimens have been shown to have properties from both subspecies in the flower heads of the same plant. As the distinction between the two subspecies is largely based on floral characteristics, genetic studies are therefore required to ascertain the relationship between the two taxa.
Conospermum densiflorum subsp. unicephalatum was declared as Rare Flora on 28 November 1997 under the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act 1950. It currently meets World Conservation Union (IUCN 2000) Red List category Endangered (EN) under criteria B1ab(iii)+B2ab(iii) as it is only known from five populations totalling 295 mature plants growing over a narrow geographic range with some decline in the quality of the habitat. The taxon is also listed as Endangered under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). The main threats are habitat fragmentation, road and rail maintenance, weed invasion, inappropriate fire regimes, and lack of associated vegetation.
- Habitat Fragmentation is a serious threat to the long term survival of this subspecies as it occurs over such a small range (10km) and exists in narrow strips of remnant vegetation in a disturbed environment.
- Road and rail maintenance activities threaten all populations. Threats include grading, chemical spraying, construction of drainage channels and the mowing of roadside vegetation. Several of these actions also encourage weed invasion. Westnet Rail is currently replacing many of the jarrah railway sleepers with concrete sleepers on the GinginMoora stretch of rail line, and this has the potential to impact populations.
- Weed invasion is a major threat to all populations. Weeds suppress early plant growth by competing for soil moisture, nutrients and light. They also exacerbate grazing pressure and increase the fire hazard due to easy ignition of high fuel loads, which are produced annually by many weed species.
- Inappropriate fire regimes would affect the viability of the populations, as Conospermum densiflorum subsp. unicephalatum appears to be an obligate seeder that germinates following fire or other disturbance. The soil seed bank is therefore likely to be rapidly depleted if fires recur before regenerating or juvenile plants reach maturity and replenish the soil seed bank. However, occasional fires or other disturbances are likely to be required for the taxon to propagate from soil stored seed.
- Lack of associated vegetation is a threat to all road reserve populations. As a result, pollinators and any native digging and burrowing animals that may historically have disturbed the soil and thereby stimulated germination, are likely to be infrequent or absent. In addition, with little vegetation present providing a buffer, weeds (in particular grasses) are able to invade from the road.
- Fertiliser and herbicide drift from adjacent farmlands also pose potential threats to many of the Conospermum densiflorum subsp. unicephalatum populations.

Guide for decision-makers
Section 1 provides details of current and possible future threats. Developments in the immediate vicinity of the populations or within the defined critical habitat of Conospermum densiflorum subsp. unicephalatum require assessment. No developments should be approved unless the proponents can demonstrate that they will have no significant impact on the taxon, or its habitat or potential habitat.
Critical habitat
Critical habitat is habitat identified as being critical to the survival of a listed threatened species or listed threatened ecological community. Habitat is defined as the biophysical medium or media occupied (continuously, periodically or occasionally) by an organism or group of organisms or once occupied (continuously, periodically or occasionally) by an organism, or group of organisms, and into which organisms of that kind have the potential to be reintroduced (Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999).
The critical habitat for Conospermum densiflorum subsp. unicephalatum comprises:
- the area of occupancy of known populations;
- areas of similar habitat within 200 metres of known populations, ie. gravel or clay soils that support heathland consisting of Dryandra spp., and Allocasuarina campestris (these provide potential habitat for natural range extension);
- remnant vegetation that surrounds or links several populations (this is necessary to allow pollinators to move between populations); and
- additional occurrences of similar habitat that do not currently contain the taxon but may have done so in the past (these represent possible translocation sites).
Habitat critical to the survival of the species, and important populations
Given that this taxon is listed as endangered it is considered that all known habitat is habitat critical. In addition, all populations, including those resulting from translocation, are considered important to the survival of the taxon. Recovery actions include survey for further populations that would lead to the identification of additional habitat critical.
Benefits to other species/ecological communities
Recovery actions implemented to improve the quality or security of the habitat of Conospermum densiflorum subsp. unicephalatum will also improve the status of Calothamnus pachystachyus (Priority 4) and may benefit populations of Dryandra serratulioides subsp. serratulioides that occur in the habitat.
International Obligations
This plan is fully consistent with the aims and recommendations of the Convention on Biological Diversity, ratified by Australia in June 1993, and will assist in implementing Australias responsibilities under that Convention. However, as Conospermum densiflorum subsp. unicephalatum is not listed under any specific international agreement, the implementation of other international environmental responsibilities is not affected by this plan.
Role and interests of indigenous people
There are no known indigenous communities interested or involved in the management of areas affected by this plan and, according to the Department of Indigenous Affairs Aboriginal Heritage Sites Register, no registered sites are known from the habitat of the species. Input and involvement will be sought from any indigenous groups that have an active interest in the areas that are habitat for Conospermum densiflorum subsp. unicephalatum, and this is discussed in the recovery actions.
Social and economic impacts
As the known populations are on road and rail reserves, the implementation of this recovery plan is unlikely to cause significant adverse social and economic impacts.
Evaluation of the Plans Performance
CALM, in conjunction with the Moora District Threatened Flora Recovery Team will evaluate the success of this Interim Recovery Plan. In addition to annual reporting on progress and evaluation against the criteria for success and failure, the plan will be reviewed within five years of its implementation. Any changes to management or recovery actions will be documented accordingly.

Gold Coast Mike's
I recently set out on a personal trek, and one asked for by Las Vegas Life magazine, to find the best hamburgers in town. You can read all about my quest next month, but for now, I'll give you the heads up by starting with one of the worst—which amazingly used to be one of the best. I'll even give you some of you a hint: what's the last place in Vegas you'd expect a restaurant critic like me to be snooping around in???? If you said the Gold Coast Casino you obviously know me or I'm being even more snobbish in these weekly diatribes than I thought I was. Normally, you couldn't get me in the grease—er excuse me—the Gold Coast with a shoehorn and a wad of fifties. The movie theater is the only reason anyone with a brain, or a taste bud, would get within a mile of the place, but so highly recommended came the burgers that I ignored the smoky din and the hoi polloi as I stumbled to a far corner where the smell of beef fat was unmistakable. It didn't help matters that some sort of rockabilly convention was going on and I was constantly surrounded by punk rockers going greaseball. It was like a tattoo and pomade asylum had just been emptied, and believe me, it wasn't a pretty sight.
If you think food writing is all champagne and caviar, just try taking notes about the world's soggiest one-half pound burger as it completely destroys an over-matched bun while you're being stared at by women who resemble Sandra Dee crossed with Courtney Love and men who appear to have been cloned from an Andrew Dice Clay/Dennis Rodman gene pool. While everyone else was comparing nose rings and pompadours, I was left deciphering a semi-viscous/flavorless mess they called a cheese sauce. Somewhere around my third attempt to hoist burger to mouth, both bun and sauce fused into a liquefying coagulation of stupefying messiness. None of which would've mattered if any of the ingredients had tasted like anything. Only the very cool photos on the walls of Vegas casinos in the forties and fifties, kept the meal from being a total disaster. So the night wasn't a total loss, taste wise anyway, but I don't think Frankie and Annette or Sid and Nancy ever really noticed.

It's prime nor'easter season.
Are you prepared?
Last week's northeast winds put Jersey Shore residents on notice.
A year ago, I wrote a blog warning people to "Get ready for monster nor'easters [1]."
It turns out that I was right on the money.
We had a number of major nor'easters last fall and winter that chewed up beaches and dumped more than 20 inches of snow.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has an article on nor'easters [2]with an interesting satellite view of an April 2007 storm.

Eamon's Album of Original Songs
In My Own Words
On Sale Now on This Website
A note by Fr. Brian D'Arcy
(Sunday World / BBC Radio Ulster / BBC Radio 2)
On Eamon McCann's new album
In My Own Words
Eamon McCann becomes the first major Irish Country artist to produce an album of sixteen original tracks, all of them composed by himself. Fittingly, the album is called In My Own Words'.
Over many years Eamon and I have discussed different trends in Country music. He has always been thoughtful, insightful and anxious to make a unique contribution to the music he loves.
No other Irish country artist has had the ability or the courage to record over 40 of his own songs.
Eamon's songs cover a wide range of themes and that is why at this crucial point in his life he has selected sixteen tracks covering a wide range of themes from the 40 he has already recorded.
Some have been taken from past albums and many have been re-recorded and digitally re-mastered. A few have never been released before.
This is an album that can stand comparison with any country album I have heard this year. In fact most of the songs are far more commercial and indeed far more country than anything released from Nashville in the recent past.
Eamon covers many themes. Typically, emigration is foremost in people's minds. Eamon gets to the heart of the matter with Born In Birmingham which is about a close family member who had to emigrate and Donegal We're Goin' Home, which also deals sympathetically with the theme of emigration.
Few country artists have ever tackled the thorny subject of bullying. But you can detect the hint of personal experience in It's a Long Road Without A Turn'.
If you ask Eamon where he gets his inspiration then his answer probably would be everywhere including God which is why he wrote, God Only Knows'.
Another interesting theme is the value of relationships which was what inspired him to write,
To Love From Loneliness.' Eamon has added to the growing list of Father' songs with The Gift Of Love', about his own father's love for children. An attitude which has been passed on in Eamon's love for his own children.
Many people associate Eamon with Randy Travis but actually a bigger influence on him was the Man in Black,' Johnny Cash. That's why Eamon on stage presents himself as another Man in Black'. In any case The Johnny Cash Accolade is a fine song managing to mention and make sense of a host of Johnny Cash titles.
There are sad songs and lost love songs and happy songs. In fact one of the best tracks on it is Dance With Me'.
All in all Eamon has achieved an album to be proud of in any category of music.
Sixteen superb songs brilliantly sung and all written and performed by the man himself
Eamon McCann. He is a man of few words but all of them are en-fleshed with brilliant music. This album showcases a rare and unique talent and I suspect it will be a long time before we find a collection of country gems as in Eamon McCann's, In My Own Words'.
Brian D'Arcy (Sunday World / BBC )
Eamon McCann hails from Creggan near Omagh in Co.Tyrone , Ireland . He bought his first guitar with the money he received for winning a local talent contest and, at the age of sixteen, and along with his two younger brothers, he started playing his music all around his home county of Tyrone . After some persuasion from close friends, Eamon made his first recording in 1990 - a demo album entitled "I Give You Music" - and he has been giving us music ever since!
His next album followed shortly after entitled "Gold In The Mountain" gave Eamon his big break. When hearing his demo album Harmac Music, a top label, decided to sign him for the "Gold In The Mountain" album. Eamon's authentic country tones soon created a lot of attention throughout Ireland and the U.K. and soon the top Irish label, Ritz, signed Eamon for a four year contract in which he recorded four singles and three albums.
Eamon later moved to Tulip Records, where he has recorder three albums,
"Clear Cut Country", My Country and Turn To Me.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cook grains; mix them in a large serving bowl.
Cover onions with hot water, and soak for 2 minutes. Peel and halve onions. Place on a rimmed baking sheet, and toss with 1 teaspoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Roast until caramelized, about 20 minutes. Pour cider over onions, and roast until liquid reduces by half, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
Gently toss grains with onions, vinegar, feta, parsley, lemon zest, and the remaining oil, salt, and pepper. Stir in apple, and serve immediately.
This salad's diverse grains complement one another quite nicely, although you can make it with any combination you prefer. To save time, boil both types of quinoa in one pot, the semi-pearl farro and pearl barley in another, and the purple barley in a third.

By Rudi WilliamsAmerican Forces Press Service
ARLINGTON, Va., March 24, 2004 Emerging issues pertaining to military and civilian women highlighted discussion at a Defense Department forum here March 23.
The forum's aim, officials said, was to provide feedback and recommendations to senior leadership that will thwart future problems.
As part of its observance of National Women's History Month, DoD hosted the forum on "Emerging Issues for Military and Civilian Women in the Department of Defense: Impact on Readiness," at the Ritz-Carlton Pentagon City Hotel.
Organizers said the forum sought to review key issues relating to women in DoD and the impact of these issues on readiness, and to provide briefings on focus- group discussions to DoD senior leaders.
The contributions of women to the nation's defense are significant and substantial, said John M. Molino, acting deputy undersecretary of defense for equal opportunity.
"Women now comprise 37 percent of our civilian work force and 15 percent of the armed forces," Molino noted. "As late as 1993, military women were precluded from serving in the vast majority of positions traditionally held by men. However, today, women serve in 92 percent of military occupations. The civilian work force has also undergone marked changes for the better."
Molino said participants in the forum discussed emerging issues and provided feedback and recommendations for senior leadership. Sexual Assault: Beyond Sexual Harassment; Recruitment and Retention Issues for Military and Civilian Women in DoD; and the Implications of an Aging Work Force: Challenges of a Multigenerational Workplace were the subjects of sessions for the forum as a whole and for subsequent facilitated workshop discussions, Molino said.
The keynote speaker was retired Air Force Maj. Gen. Susan L. Pamerleau, now the vice president for membership development for the U.S. Automobile Association, which has its headquarters in San Antonio.
Pamerleau, who visited each workshop, said reports from the facilitators and her own impressions of the group discussions told her the forum is a valuable way of using the National Women's History Month observance for a positive impact.
She said this year's theme, "Women Inspiring Hope and Possibility," offers an opportunity to celebrate the extraordinary accomplishments of women in America.
Today's challenges and issues are not merely women's issues, Pamerleau said, they're leadership issues that require the total focus of every commander and leader at every level. She said sexual harassment and sexual assault in the workplace and an aging federal work force add to already serious problems of recruiting and retention.
Besides having a significant impact on individuals, these problems detract from achieving missions and affect everyone's ability to get the job done, she said. The result, she continued, is a readiness issue, but not from a combat standpoint.
"Prevention of sexual harassment or sexual assault can't be solved by women," the retired two-star general emphasized. "The problem can't be tackled only for special interests; it must be embarked upon for the good of all. Every leader has the responsibility to ensure each person has the opportunity to reach her or his fullest potential."
Women's issues must be championed by "enlightened leadership," the general said. "Through evolution and enlightened leadership, we find women like Sgt. Christine Roberts, an Army flight medic, who received the Soldier's Medal for her rescue of a sergeant from a minefield in Kosovo," Pamerleau said. "It never occurred to her that women who preceded her prior to 1993 could not have had the opportunity to save the life of a fellow soldier in combat."
Enlightened leadership, she said, is why women haven't had to create a revolution to realize their fullest potential. "I've seen evolutionary and revolutionary change for women," Pamerleau said, "but the least disruptive were those issues attacked by our leaders, who championed the causes and who believed in giving every individual a right to reach their fullest potential."
Pamerleau said from the late 1960s, when she joined the Air Force, she saw military and civilian women go higher and higher throughout DoD. "That happened because some men in leadership encouraged those women and then followed up by placing them in senior leadership positions squadron, group, wing command; company, battalion, brigade command; and the equivalents in the Navy and Marine Corps."
The Sexual Assault: Beyond Sexual Harassment workshop facilitators were Allison Johnson, president of Lee Johnson Group; and Gail Wire, equal employment opportunity program manager for the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Manpower and Reserve Affairs.
Facilitators for "Recruitment and Retention Issues for Civilian Women" included Marilee Fitzgerald, deputy director for field advisory service, Civilian Personnel Management Service; and doctorate holder Janice Laurence, an independent consultant.
Force: Challenges of a Multi-Generational Workplace" were Debra Muse, the Army's director of equal employment, and Army Maj. Don Hicks, a physician assistant and instructor in the Interservice Physician Assistant Program at the Army Medical Department Center and School at Fort Sam Houston, Texas.

Dan Ho Delivers Positive Message To Celebrate AAPI Heritage Month
Washington, D.C. – Son of Guam, and the Discovery Channel's host of the DAN HO SHOW, Dan Ho delivered the keynote address at the Interior Department's Office of Insular Affairs' Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month celebration.
Before a crowd comprised of Pacific Island leaders in the DC Metro area, the self-identified "fashionable public servant," Dan Ho, dished out laughter and "real island talk" on the importance of self-identity and the critical need for Pacific Island cultural preservation.
A noted author of two books, which Ho claims, "only Kinkos would publish," and the creator of a magazine which gained recognition from both the Library Journal and Folio as one of the top 10 new magazines of 2003; Dan Ho ran successful restaurants before suffering a near life-threatening experience.
"I thought I had it all, I thought I could be the next Chamorro Martha Stewart, have my own cooking show, publish books, money, décor, have it all, but then I realized I wasn't complete, the life I had chosen for myself was a vacuous one and I didn't want to go out that way," said Ho.
As a thriving entrepreneur, Dan branded his island roots and lessons learned from growing up on Guam, eventually landing a nationally syndicated television show. "I was given a platform and I was more than ready to use it. This was my opportunity to influence, to remind my community, the Chamorro people, the value of speaking our language, preserving our traditions but most emphatically knowing and accepting our rich cultural heritage and identity," said Ho.
The dynamic and engaging Dan Ho spoke candidly about the critical role Chamorro cultural approaches and methodologies must play in the crafting of federal government policies, specifically as it relates to the military buildup on Guam. Ho emphasized the need for Chamorro engagement and participation to develop meaningful policy outcomes.
"He is a motivating-humorist, who delivers an inspiring message about the importance of going back to what is indigenous and uniquely our own- the Chamorro way. He is courageously blunt, hilarious and draws upon very universal principles that emphasize the importance of identity and the safeguarding of indigenous traditions and most critically, language," said Assistant Secretary Babauta.
Other speakers included Christina Lagdameo, Deputy Director for the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, underground spoken word performers, Sulu DC and singer and songwriter Lilian Bui.

ERWIN — The initial court appearance of former Unicoi County Sheriff Kent Harris on his latest official misconduct charge, which was originally set for March 27, has been reset.
The hearing will now take place on April 18 at 9 a.m. in Unicoi County Criminal Court. District Attorney General Tony Clark said Criminal Court Judge Robert Cupp originally set the hearing for the March 27 date. However, Senior Judge Jon Kerry Blackwood, who is presiding over Harris' case, has notified the court he will not be available for the arraignment hearing on that date.
On Feb. 16, a Unicoi County grand jury returned one true bill charging Harris with official misconduct for allegedly having a sheriff's department employee use departmental supplies and equipment to prepare a letter soliciting funds to pay his attorney's fees in November during the employee's working hours.
This came after an October meeting of the grand jury, when it returned 10 true bills charging Harris with 10 felonies, including six counts of official misconduct and one count each of tampering with evidence, attempted aggravated assault, criminal simulation and theft over $1,000.
Harris appeared in Unicoi County Criminal Court on Feb. 7 and entered a plea of not guilty to the charges from the grand jury's October session. He is scheduled to begin trial on the theft over $1,000 and criminal simulation charges on July 30.
Citing health reasons, as he was injured in an August 2010 fall from the roof the Unicoi County Jail, Harris submitted his letter of resignation to the county on March 1. In a special-called session on March 9, the Unicoi County Commission unanimously accepted Harris' resignation, at which point the sheriff's position became vacant.
County officials are now in the process of appointing someone to serve as the county's sheriff until the August general election.
So far, four candidates have submitted paperwork to Mayor Greg Lynch's office seeking the County Commission's appointment to serve as interim sheriff until August election.
On Monday, Mike Hensley, a sheriff's department employee, became the latest applicant for the job as he notified Lynch's office of his intent to seek the appointment. Hensley has around 25 years of experience in several local law enforcement agencies, with the majority of his experience coming at the UCSD.
Hensley is a criminal investigator within the department, and previously held the titles of chief deputy and captain. He has previous experience as a county constable and emergency dispatcher. Hensley also previously worked for the Erwin Police Department, the Washington County Sheriff's Department and the Carter County Sheriff's Department.
Hensley is a graduate of the Tennessee Law Enforcement Training Academy and has received some law enforcement education from Walters State Community College.
Last week, sheriff's department employee Ron Arnold, probation officer James Lengel and Nuclear Fuel Services tactical police officer Michael Dawson submitted resumes to Lynch's office to seek the appointment.
The commission will meet Monday with the intent of appointing a sheriff to fill in until the August general election. The commission is set to publicly interview qualified candidates, and the candidate receiving a majority vote from the nine-member body will serve until Sept. 1.
The deadline for candidates seeking the commission's appointment to submit paperwork to Lynch's office is set for the end of the business day on Thursday.
