Bill Introduced to Block NPS Plan to Restrict Access at Biscayne National Park
Following the National Park Service's (NPS) decision to close more than 10,000 acres of Biscayne National Park to fishing, a bipartisan bill, H.R. 3310, has been introduced in Congress to help stop this and similar unwarranted fishing closures from occurring.
Led by Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.), Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.), Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.), and 28 other original sponsors, the "Preserving Public Access to Public Waters Act" requires the NPS and Office of National Marine Sanctuaries to have approval from state fish and wildlife agencies before closing state waters to recreational or commercial fishing.
"Probably the most concerning aspect of the Biscayne National Park marine reserve decision is the total disregard for the fisheries management expertise of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission," said Mike Leonard, Ocean Resource Policy director for the American Sportfishing Association.
"The states are responsible for nearly all of our nation's saltwater fisheries management successes. This legislative safeguard will prevent the federal government from ignoring the fisheries management expertise of the states in these types of situations."
Throughout the development of the General Management Plan for Biscayne National Park, through which the marine reserve is being implemented, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has provided detailed recommendations to improve the condition of the fisheries resources in the park. The Commission has continually insisted that the proposed marine reserve is overly restrictive to the public and will not be biologically effective.
It also argues that less restrictive management tools can rebuild the park's fisheries resources and conserve habitat.
The recreational fishing and boating community has echoed these concerns, but nevertheless the National Park Service ultimately elected to close nearly 40 percent of the park's reef tract to fishing.
"The Congressional leaders who are sponsoring this bill are to be commended for this common sense approach to protect saltwater anglers from unwarranted access restrictions," said Chris Horton, Fisheries Program director for the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation. "The Biscayne National Park marine reserve is part of a concerning trend of closing marine areas without scientific basis or an understanding of the critical role anglers play in the economy and in funding conservation."
"Marine reserves are a tool in the fisheries management toolbox, but too often we see them promoted with questionable-at-best motivations," said Jeff Miller, chairman of Coastal Conservation Association Florida's Government Relations Committee. "This bill will ensure that Florida has a say in important fisheries management decisions in Biscayne National Park, including marine reserves, and that similar issues don't arise in other parts of the state and country."
Today the House Committee on Natural Resources and the House Committee on Small Business will hold a joint hearing to explore the potential implications of lost access due to the Biscayne marine reserve.

Rep. James Lankford, Oklahoma Republican, said Tuesday morning that the state has actually had fewer tornadoes this spring than in recent years and that it had been a relatively quiet season up until the last few days.
"Sunday afternoon, we had tornadoes that went through my district, through Shawnee and Pottawatomie County, and I was out there Monday morning at dawn walking through debris fields I thought were just horrific, and they are horrific, but then you compare it to what's happening in Moore and it's just even more tragic that's there, so, very difficult days, obviously, for us as a state," Mr. Lankford said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
At least 51 people were killed, including 20 children, and the death toll was expected to rise, officials said Tuesday, The Associated Press reported.
"Oklahomans watch out for Oklahomans," Mr. Lankford said. "The difficulty here is it's typically your neighbor who helps you out in a tornado; tornadoes are typically much smaller, but now you're in a situation where the next-door neighbor's house is also gone."
He said churches, the University of Oklahoma, and neighbors were all participating in taking people in as they search for shelter.

Zaire Haven For Refugees May Be Safe No Longer
By HOWARD W. FRENCH
Published: February 9, 1997
TINGI TINGI, Zaire, Feb. 8— People die of malnutrition and disease every day at the refugee camp here, where 120,000 ethnic Hutu from Rwanda and Burundi have been gathering for the last two months.
But after a grueling walk through some of the world's thickest forest, most refugees here have considered themselves lucky to be finally stationary.
The sounds of fighting between Zairian soldiers and Rwandan-backed rebels sweeping the countryside from the east has not yet been heard here, as they have been in other refugee camps.
But as relief officials have begun to whisper among themselves, and refugees themselves have begun to learn, the relative peace and safety of this place seems destined to quickly come to an end.
News reached here late today that Amisi, another camp settlement 40 miles to the east, has just fallen to the rebels, who want to take power from President Mobutu Sese Seko. The 40,000 refugees who were living there are now believed to be on their way to Tingi Tingi.
And if no one can say for sure, most expect that the refugees here have from only a few hours to a few days before they too will be once again forced on the move.
International aid workers were evacuated from here to the regional capital of Kisangani on Friday because of the rising tensions.
''The people who made it to this point are already survivors,'' said a relief official of the United Nations Children's Fund. ''But if they have to suddenly get up and move again, you can say goodbye to a lot of these people. They are weak and it will be the end of the road for them.''
From the start of the Zairian crisis in October, when rebels invaded his country with the support of its eastern neighbors, the fate of hundreds of thousands of refugees forced out of camps in eastern Zaire has been overshadowed by the spectacle of disintegrating Zaire.
Today, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Sadako Ogata, flew into the camp here in an effort to reassure refugees and also relief workers, who have been shaken by growing insecurity in the region and are unsure of the degree of international concern for the situation here.
As Mrs. Ogata's plane landed here, on a flat patch of road that bisects the settlement, the entire population, seemingly eager for some sign about their future, pressed in along the roadside so tightly that many ducked in fear of being clipped by the plane's wings as it landed.
The crowds included thousands of ragged and barefoot children, many of whom gathered behind a makeshift fence in a center for ''unaccompanied children,'' meaning those who were lost or whose parents had died.
Whatever the future holds for these people, their accounts of reaching this far included tales of almost unfathomable trial. Zaire's equatorial forest, which stands between this region and Rwanda about 250 miles to the east, is so thick that it is considered one of the last places on earth impervious to aerial reconnaissance.
''We walked through mud for days on end, without food or water or medicines,'' said Thaddee Twagiraweza, a 34-year-old Hutu pastor who fled a refugee camp in Bukavu in November. ''There were hundreds of us walking together, and if you fell from weakness, well, it just meant you had to die. There was nothing anyone could do for you.''
Relief officials who have spent weeks in the region painted a dire picture not only for the refugees, but for the Zairian military as well.
Despite the army's backing from several hundred European mercenaries, most of those who are familiar with the terrain here believe that it is only a question of days, or perhaps weeks, before Kisangani, the Government's main forward base, is threatened by the rebels.
What relief officials have described as the Government's distribution of guns to elements of the defeated former Rwandan Army has done nothing to slow the progress of the rebels, who have repeatedly proven themselves a remarkably disciplined and tactically adept force.
''We have seen the rebels move through one area after another,'' said a relief official, speaking on condition of anonymity. ''First comes the rumor of their arrival, which shakes everybody up. Then comes the looting or flight by the Government soldiers.
''By the time the rebels march in, usually looking very clean and orderly, the population is ready to greet them in open arms.''
Given the reality on the ground, there was an almost surreal quality to the discussions between Mrs. Ogata and the Zairian officials she met. From the United Nations side came talk of opening ''corridors'' to bring the refugees back to their countries of origin, and promise of more assistance for the needy.
From the local officials, there was mostly anger at what they called a failure of the international community to support Zaire's cause.
''Nothing,'' a regional governor told Mrs. Ogata, ''can stop Zaire from accomplishing its duty of kicking the invaders out of our territory -- not even humanitarian problems.''
From the refugees themselves, meanwhile, even though they see nothing but bleakness and suffering ahead for themselves in Zaire, few said they would contemplate returning to Rwanda and Burundi, which are governed by ethnic Tutsis.
''Even if there was a plane to take me home tomorrow, there's no way you could get me to get on it,'' said Sophie Muanyogoga, a 12-year-old orphan, who wore a plastic cross and a fake pearl necklace but had no shoes for her scarred feet. ''I would rather take my chances and die here in Zaire.''

Radioprotective effect of the Barbados Cherry (Malpighia glabra L.) against radiopharmaceutical Iodine-131 in Wistar rats in vivo

BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine 2014, 14:41 doi:10.1186/1472-6882-14-41Published: 31 January 2014
The increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables has contributed to the improvement of populational health, due in part, to the abundance of antioxidants in these foods. Antioxidants reduce the level of oxidative damage to DNA caused by free radicals and ionizing radiation, including the radioisotope iodine-131 (131I). This isotope is used for the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid injuries, such as hyperthyroidism and cancer.
This study aimed to evaluate the radioprotective and cytotoxic activity of acute and subchronic treatments with Barbados Cherry (BC) (Malpighia glabra L.) fruit juice (5 mg), which is rich in potent antioxidants such as vitamin C, phenols, carotenoids, anthocyanins and yellow flavonoids and its activity against the mutagenic activity of the therapeutic dose of 25 μCi of radioiodine for hyperthyroidism. The test system used was the bone marrow cells of Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) that were treated in vivo by gavage.
BC showed radioprotective activity in acute treatments, which is most likely due to the joint action of its antioxidant components. In subchronic treatments, the continuous treatment presented an effective radioprotective activity, which was significantly different from treatment with the radiopharmaceutical only. Treatment with BC prior to (PRE) and simultaneous with (SIM) ionizing radiation decreased the number of induced chromosomal alterations, while post-treatment produced no protective effect. In addition, BC exhibited no cytotoxic activity.
These data serve as evidence that BC can be used as a preventive health measure to improve public health quality by countering the action of inevitable exposure to mutagens, such as 131I.

United States Patent Ofiice 3,055,953 ETHYLENE TELOMERS AND PROCESS OF PREPARING SAME Kenneth C. Smeltz, Wilmington, Del., assignor to E. I.
du Pont de Nemours and Company, Wilmington, Del.,
a corporation of Delaware N Drawing. Filed June 17, 1960, Ser. No. 36,706
8 Claims. (Cl. 260-6534) The present invention is directed to telomers of ethylene and Br[CF CF Br and more particularly to Br m n CH2CH2 BI' and B1 n Br as compositions of matter. This invention is also directed to the process for the preparation of said telomers byreacting ethylene with a dibromide of structure in the presence of a free radical generating catalyst.
Although it is Well known that fluoroalkyl bromides such as CF BrCl [I[ACS, 77, 768 (1955)],
[ JACS, 76, 5423 (1954)] and CF Br [JACS, 76, 3466 (1954)] react with ethylene in the presence of free radical catalysts to form products of types CF BrCFCl[CH CH Br and CF Br[CH CH Br, it is generally conceded that compounds of type YCF Br, wherein Y is a perfluoroalkyl group, do not form telomers. [See Lovelace et al., Aliphatic Fluorine Compounds, p. 38; Walling, Free Radicals in Solution, p. 255.] It should be noted also that the compound CF BrCFC1Br reacts only at the -CFClBr group, no telomer was observed which resulted from reaction of the -CF Br group.
It is an object of this invention to prepare telomers from ethylene and dibromides of structure wherein n is an integer of from l to 10. It is a further object to prepare telomers of the structure wherein m is an integer from 0 to 5 and 11 an integer from 1 to 5 in the presence of a free radical generating catalyst.
These and other objects will become apparent in the following description and claims.
It has unexpectedly been found structure Br[CF CF Br will react with ethylene in the presence of free radical generating catalysts, this being contrary to the teachings and. indications of the prior art.
More specifically the present invention is directed to a composition comprising compounds of the structure Br[CH CH [CF CF [CH CH Br wherein m and p are integers of from 1 to 6 and n is an integer of from 1 to 10 and a composition comprising compounds of structure Br[CF CF ],,[CH CH Br wherein n is an integer of from 1 to 10 and p is an integer of from 1 to 6.
The present invention is also directed to a process which process comprises reacting dibromoperfluoroalkanes of structure Br[CF CF Br with ethylene at superatmospheric pressure and at from 50 C. to 200 C. in the presence of a free radical generating catalyst to form products of structure that dibromides of 3,055,953 Patented Sept. 25, 1962 with ethylene at superatmospheric pressure and at from 50 C. to 200 C. in the presence of a free radical generating catalyst to form products of structure wherein m, n and p are as heretofore described.
The preferred starting materials for the heretofore described processes are, respectively, Br[CF CF Br wherein n is from 1 to about 5 and wherein n is from 1 to about 5 and p is 1 or 2.
The preferred products of the present invention are Br[CF CF [CH CH Br and wherein m and p are 1 or 2 and n is from 1 to about 5. The latter type of product is preferred to the former.
The processes of the present invention may be carried out in either a batch or continuous manner. The continuous process is preferred from an economic standpoint. I
A variety of free radical generating catalysts are known to the art. These include azo compounds such as a,a'- azobis-isobutyronitrile, acyl peroxides such as benzoyl or acetyl peroxide, and alkyl peroxides such as di-t-butyl peroxide. All types are useful in the present process. These catalysts vary particularly in the temperature at which they decompose at a convenient rate to form free radicals which will initiate chain reactions. Thus, for a,a'-azobis-isobutyronitrile the temperature is about 50 C., for benzoyl peroxide about 100 C. and for di-tbutyl peroxide about l20-150 C. The preferred catalyst in the present process is di-t-butyl peroxide and the preferred reaction temperature is in the range C.
No solvent is necessary or desirable in the present process. The starting dibromides and the crude product are liquids at the preferred reaction temperature.
The reaction pressure in the present processes is not constant but varies with both the type of system used, batch or continuous, and the course of the reaction. The pressure is determined almost entirely by the concentration of ethylene present. In a batch process, the initial pressure is due to the initial ethylene concentration and the pressure falls as ethylene is consumed. In a continuous system, the pressure is determined by the ethylene concentration desired and the reaction temperature; in this case the pressure remains essentially constant.
The dibromides Br[CF CF Br used as starting materials are readily available. The first member of the series (11:1) is commercially available; its primary uses being as a fire-extinguishing agent and as a refrigerant. The other members of the series (11:2, 3, 4 etc.) are readily prepared by reacting the first member (n=1) with tetrafiuoroethylene in the presence of a free radical catalyst. A typical preparation follows.
The reaction was carried out in a continuous system comprising a 1.4 l. autoclave equipped with a liquid feed-pump, a tetrafluoroethylene compressor, a gas-phase scrubber (for removing the inhibitor from tetrafluoroethylene) containing silica-gel following the compressor and a product discharge control valve which maintains a constant pressure within the autoclave While continuously discharging product. Tetrafluoroethylene in contact with silica-gel in the inhibitor scrubber generates considerable heat; as a matter of caution, careful control of the temperature within the scrubber is necessary. If the temperature is allowed to greatly exceed 50 C. a violent, highly exothermic reaction can occur which can cause considerable destruction.
The autoclave was charged liquid full with 1,2-dibro motetrafluoroethylene containing 0.2% di-t-butyl peroxide and was heated to 175 C. The autoclave pressure was maintained at 45-0 p.s.i.g. Tetrafiuoroethylene was compressed to 500 p.s.i.g. and admitted into the autoclave. 1,2-dibromotetrafluoroethylene containing 0.2% di-t-butyl peroxide was pumped into the autoclave at the same time by means of a high pressure positive displacement pump. The feed rate of the two reactants was adjusted so that 3.8 moles of dibromide per mole of tetrafluoroethylene were fed. The liquid product which discharged continuously from the autoclave was collected and fractionally distilled giving, besides starting materials:

In carrying out the process of the present invention in a batchwise manner, the dibromide Br[CF CF Br and the catalyst are placed in a pressure vessel, ethylene is admitted and the system is heated at the desired temperature until the ethylene has been consumed. If desired, further ethylene may then be added and the reaction continued. The system is then cooled and the contents are fractionally distilled. Any recovered starting material may be reused if desired.
When using a continuous system, the dibromide, ethylene and catalyst are fed into an autoclave in a manner analogous to that described for the preparation of the dibromides Br[CF CF Br with the exception that ethylene usually contains no inhibitor which must be removed. The products are collected and fractionated as before.
The following representative examples illustrate the present invention.
Example 1 1,4-dibromooctafluorobutane [360 g., 1.0 mole], di-tbutyl peroxide [2.19 g., 0.015 mole] and ethylene [7.0 g., 0.25 mole, 4 moles dibromide/mole ethylene] were charged into a 400 ml. shaker tube and heated to 140 C. (pressure 150 p.s.i.g.). After heating at 140 for minutes the pressure had dropped to about 0 p.s.i.g., heating was continued for an additional 15 minutes. After cooling, the product was collected (96.8% recovery) and fractionally distilled, giving Br[CF CF Br (274 g.),
Br[CF CF CH CH Br (53.4 g., 57% yield), B.P. 67.5-68.5 C., n 1.3867, and a fraction composed predominantly Of BI'[CFZCF2]Z[CHZCHZ]ZBI, 86.5/5 mm. (25.3 g).
Analysis.-Calcd. for C H F Br C, 18.6; H, 1.03; F, 39.2; Br, 41.3. Found: C, 18.8; H, 1.00; F, 39.3; Br, 40.5.
Example 2 Using the procedure of Example 1, 1.4-dibromooctafluorobutane (180 g., 0.5 mole), di-t-dibutyl peroxide (0.73 g., 0.005 mole) and ethylene (28 g., 1.0 mole, 0.5 mole dibromide/mole ethylene) were caused to react at C. After 2.5 hours, the pressure dropped from 650 p.s.i.g. to 400 p.s.i.g. and then remained constant for two hours. The product was fractionally distilled, giving Br[CF CF Br (83.8 g.), Br[CF CF CI-I CH Br (18.6 g., BI[CF2CF2]2[CH2CH2]BI' g., 50.8% yield), B.P. 7476 C./2 mm.. and
(3 g., 3.1% yield), M.P. 66.5-68" C. The latter compound was identified by its nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrum.
Example 3 1,4-dibromooctafiuorobutane (360 g., 1 mole), di-tbutyl peroxide (2.92 g., 0.02 mole) and ethylene (7.0 g., 0.25 mole) were charged into a 400 ml. shaker tube and heated at 140 C. After 4 minutes, the pressure had dropped from 200 to 10 p.s.i.g. The tube was repressured with ethylene to 210 p.s.i.g., said pressure decreasing to 30 p.s.i.g. in 3 minutes at 140 C. Repressuring was continued as follows:
CzH4 l 0p.s.i.g. 180 p.s.i.g. 0p.s.i.g
The tube was then cooled and 386 g. of liquid col lected. Fractional distillation at reduced pressure gave BICHZCH CHgCHzBI' Using the procedure described in Example 1, 1,6-dibromododecafiuorohexane (368 g., 0.8 mole), di-t-butyl peroxide (2.92 g., 0.02 mole) and ethylene (6 g., 0.21 mole, 4 moles dibromide) mole ethylene were charged into a 400 ml. shaker tube and heated to 140 C. Reaction began at 124 C. The pressure dropped from p.s.i.g. to 0 p.s.i.g. in 20 minutes; heating was continued for another 10 minutes. After cooling, 375 g. of product were collected which, when fractionally distilled at reduced pressure, gave Br[CF CF J Br (317 g.),
Br[CF CF CH CH B1 (50 g.) B.P. 105107/30 mm., 61.5/15 mm. and
Br[ CF CF 3 [CH CH Br B.P. 82/ 1.0 mm. These two products were identified by their NMR spectra. Example 5 1,6 dibromo 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4 octafiuorohexane [BI'(CFZCFZ)2CH2CHZBIJ (179.0 g., 0.46 mole), di-t-butyl peroxide (2.92 g., 0.02 mole) and ethylene (6.0 g., 0.214 mole) were charged into a 400 ml. shaker tube and heated to 150 C. Reaction began at 142 C. The pressure fell from 170 p.s.i.g. to p.s.i.g. in minutes. The system was repressured to 240 p.s.i.g. with ethylene and the temperature was increased to 160 C. After 9 minutes, the pressure had dropped to 0 p.s.i.g.
The product (188 g.) was collected and fractionally distilled at reduced pressure, giving starting material Br[CF CF CH CH Br (90 g.),
BrCH CH [CF CF CH CH Br (37.7 g.) and a smaller amount of BrCH CH [CF CF ],,[CH CH Br Example 6 Using the procedure of Example 3, 1,2-dibromotetrafiuoroethane (325 g., 1.25 mole) and di-tert-butyl peroxide (3.6 g.) were charged into a 400 ml. shaker tube. Ethylene at 200 p.s.i.g. pressure was charged into the tube which was then heated to 150 C. As in Example 3, ethylene was recharged to 200 p.s.i.g. each time the pressure reached 0 p.s.i.g. a total of seven times.
The product was then distilled giving BrCF CF Br (36%), BrCF CF CH CH Br, B.P. 60 C./50 mm. (27% conversion) and BrCF CF [CH CH Br, B.P. 81-825 C./l0 mm. (10% conversion). The structure of the two products was determined by nuclear magnetic resonance.
It should be noted in these examples that reaction with ethylene may occur with both bromine atoms of the dibromides Br[CF CF Br but that reaction with ethylene occurs only at the -CF Br group of 1,8 dibromo-3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6-octafiuorooctane (55.5 g., 0.134 mole) and tri-n-butylamine (99 g., 0.534 mole) were placed in a 500 ml. flask fitted with a thermometer, a 12 inch fractionation column containing /s inch glass helicas, a distillation head and a receiver. The contents of the flask were heated at 184i4 C. for 2 hours during which time a liquid distilled at 120-125 C. The pot temperature was then increased to 227 C. while product continued to distill. When the distillation temperature reached 197 C., the reaction was stopped.
The crude product (3613 g.) was taken up in ether and dried over anh. magnesium sulfate. Fractionation of the dried ether solution gave two fractions:
(1) B.P. 4-3-66.5 C./100 mm., 4.1 g. (2) B.P. 6767.5 C./100 mm., 21.3 g.
Fraction 1 contained ether. Fraction 2 was pure CH =CH CF CF CH=CH (3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6 octafiuoro 1,7-octadiene). It showed a single adsorption band for C=C at 6.06,u in the infra-red. The nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum was consistent with the assigned structure.

The crude olefin, B.P. 72-149 C. (34.4 g.) was collected and washed with dil. hydrochloric acid. The water insoluble oil (17.0 g.) was fractionated giving pure CH CHCF CF CH=CH (3,3,4, 4-tetrafiuoro-1,5-hexadiene), B.P. 7273 C.
Analysis.-Calcd. for C H F C, 46.7; H, 3.9. Found: C, 46.9; H, 4.3.
Nuclear magnetic resonance, referred to in the examples, is an analytical method which has gained increasing importance recently. The method takes advantage of certain magnetic properties possessed by the nuclei of many elements. The spectra obtained are affected not only by the atomic nuclei concerned but also by their chemical environment. Description of this method is given by H. S. Gutowsky in Physical Methods in Chemical Analysis, W. E. Berl, editor, vol. III, p. 303. The method is particularly useful in determining the structure of compounds containing hydrogen and fluorine. Thus, if it is known from chemical evidence that a compound Could be either BI'CFgCFzCFzCF CH CH CH CH BI' OI BrCH CH CF CF CF CF CH CH Br, the NMR spectrum of the compound will establish without doubt which isomer is present. Note that the former compound has bromine, a CF adjacent to CH a CH adjacent to CF and a CH adjacent to Br while the latter has 2 CF groups adjacent to CH 2 CH groups adjacent to CF and 2 CH groups adjacent to Br. The spectra of each compound, based on these relationships, can be predicted with certainty and compared with the spectrum obtained. It is also possible, using NMR, to distinguish between BrCH CH- [CF CF hCH Cl-l Br and and similar cases since the former will have 2 CF groups adjacent only to CF while the latter has four.
The product dibromides Br[CF CF [CH CH Br and Br[CH CH [CF CF [CH CH Br have a number of uses. These bromides may be converted to the following representative derivatives by standard chemical means:
'Ihe alcohols, acids and C, 37.9; H, 2.45; F,
amines are useful for preparesters which may be used as lubricants, surface active agents, oil and water repellents and the like. The dibromides may also be converted to the olefins Br[CF CF [CH CH CH=CH and by treatment with a base such as KOH or a tertiary amine. These olefins are useful for preparing polymers and copolymers, epoxides and diepoxides.
Any of the heretofore described free radical catalysts and dibromides maybe substiuted in the preceding examples to give essentially the same results.

When we boarded we only got to a station out of London where we had to wait on the train for another hour. They asked people who didn't need to go to Paris to get off and go back to London - with a ticket transfer - otherwise we just had ...

Sharansky's Solution for the Wall Will Ruin the Country's Archaeological Treasure, Israeli Scholars Fear
The 'Sharansky plan' for a new worship space, near Robinson's Arch, has raised the ire of local archaeologists and blurred the definition of 'sacred.'
The Jerusalem Archaeological Park and Davidson Center, located south of the Western Wall, is widely considered the most important archaeological site in the country − the site which perhaps best embodies the destruction of the Temple. Enormous stones that formed the upper tiers of this wall prior to the destruction lie on top of each other in a tall heap. Above them are remnants of Robinson's Arch, the...

Great Location
We were happy with our choice to stay here. It is a good location ,close to the beach and shopping .The room was comfortable with a mini bar , hairdryer and a huge breakfast buffet .I loved the coconut buns!
This is a verysafe convenient location .We would stay here again!
Great Location, Excellent Service
I was really impressed by this Hotel. The hotel is very well located. Two blocks from Beach, right in the middle of shopping area and restaurants. The concierge is very helpful and they always have someone at the front desk who speaks English. The price includes free breakfast and it was really helpful for our stay. The grocery store (Zona Sul) is right across the street and that helped us buy snacks, water, etc.
Also in Rio we traveled everywhere except to and from the Airport by public transportation (Onibus). The bus stop is right outside the hotel.
I am pleased with the Hotel.
Tourists beware
I stayed here during Carnaval and was excited considering the location and what appeared to be a nice hotel. The hotel itself was decent, and the adjoining restaurant was very good, despite some of the worst service I receive in all of Rio (15 minutes for someone to give us menus!). However, that's about all the positives I can give this place. The people at reception were incompetent and rude to no end. They try to rip off tourists with their lousy overpriced tours and ticket prices to events. They couldn't even give us correct directions to places just down the street. One evening they sent us to one of the worst areas in Leblon/Ipanema at 1 in the morning, when our destination was literally 4 blocks away. Luckily nothing happened to us, but the locals we told were amazed we weren't robbed or worse.
The absolute worst was when our friends who lived in Rio, after all of us coming back from the beach, were not allowed in our room to use the restroom. 3 security guard came into our room to escort them out. When we complained we were never told of this rule, and never signed anything acknowledging this rule, we were told that it was on the back of our room door. The only thing on the back of the door was the escape plan. How you can be a paying customer and them not allow ANYONE to come to your room is outrageous. Anyone staying here needs to be aware of these sneaky maneuvers as it was a large hinderance to our trip.
I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Look somewhere else or rent an apartment in the city. I certainly wish I had.
Unique Quality: nothing. Horribly old computer with a keyboard that sticks, and only one computer for the ENTIRE hotel. A joke.
Nice tourist hotel.
Mar ipanema is a very well located tourist hotel right in the center of Ipanema.
The rooms are not the biggest i have seen in Rio, but the location is perfect right in the best part of Rio and the front desk staff is nice and the place has a nice breakfast restaurant too.
It's a very nice alternative to the hotels in sleazy and tacky Copacabana.
Unique Quality: Perfect location.
Directions: Right in the main shopping street in Ipanema, just before you get to Leblon.
A decent hotel for a decent price.
I had a pleasant time. The restaurant downstairs was good, There was no view to speak of, but it was close to the beach. Easy walking around to various restaurants. There is even a small theater within walking distances.
Exceeding my expectations
This place was fantastic in every way. This hotel is very affordable and is in a fantastic location. The staff spoke english and is alway smiling to help you catch a cab. We found the cab calling helpful because they can translate to the cab driver where you need to go. The hotel also was very modern in its design. Lights in the hallways were automatic and the electricity turns off itself a couple of minutes after you leave the room. The hotel provided free breakfast buffet which was very good. The hotel also provides beach towers, chairs, and umbrellas for you to take to the beach. Also the hotel provided the best exchange rate we found in Rio.
Cost: 5 nights for two people with breakfast $560.00
Unique Quality: Very cool modern design in the rooms. The clear refrigerator was my favoriate. We had to leave our bags with the front desk for a couple of hours and they took extra measures to make sure there was no breach of security. They tagged each zipper on the bag with a unique number, so it really made us feel safe to leave it with the hotel staff. The plugs were equipped to handle the US appliances, I did not need to use a converter. The plugs were interchangable with another type of plug, but I am not sure what kind (european?)
Directions: About two and half blocks from the beach and right next to the shopping district. Also a short walk from Leblon.

Aggadoria Bowers looks strong
Sophomore WR shines at Charlotte NFTC, looks to be back after ACL tear
Originally Published: May 8, 2012By Dave Hooker | ESPN RecruitingNation
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- It's hard to stand out in a Nike Football Training Camp with so much talent assembled. Even elite prospects can find the competition daunting.
However, sophomore Aggadoria Bowers did just that, despite being rusty from not playing last season because of a torn anterior cruciate ligament that is still not 100 percent.
"I think I did good," the receiver from Bamberg-Ehrhardt (S.C.) said. "I could have done better. I didn't get as many reps as I wanted, but other than ...

Dear Alice,
I am twenty-four and just started a Masters' part time at TC. My last relationship was two years ago and I find it pretty difficult at my age to meet respectable guys. I enjoy the bar scene with friends, but don't find that it's very easy to meet good people there.
Anyway, do you have any suggestions as to where to meet decent Columbia men in my age group?
Signed, Cupid's Missed Target
Dear Cupid's Missed Target,
Based on the number of questions similar to your own, there are many Columbia grad students just like you, looking for friends, dating partners, and other meaningful connections. As you know, Teachers College is an affiliate of Columbia, meaning that your connection to the main campus may feel a bit more distant than for students in other graduate programs. But keep in mind that you have access to all of the socializing spots on the Morningside campus and surrounding areas.
Most importantly, know that many, many students at Columbia have an interest in making new friends and dating. Sometimes approaching someone, organizing an activity, inviting people to a dinner party, or asking someone to be a study partner takes courage. The other students you see may feel the same way you do, even if it seems otherwise; at some point someone is going to have to take initiative and make the first move — how about giving it a try?
You may find the suggestions in Graduate students meet graduate students? helpful (not to mention feel solidarity with another student who has very similar concerns!). Some additional options for meeting people around Columbia include:
- Attending a film screening, offered each week through the Film Division of the School of the Arts
- Joining Stressbusters (Alice!'s student stress-relief team)
- Starting or joining a group at TC or for grad students that meets your interests
- Hanging out at one of the many area bookstores
- Organizing a TC or graduate student hiking trip, guided NYC tour, Circle Line cruise, etc.
Finally, consider this: Even with the largest of bull's-eyes, waiting around for Cupid's arrow to hit you may be nothing more than an act in patience-building. Yes, patience is a virtue; however you may find your experience at Columbia more enjoyable if you take an active role in meeting new people. Starting with little steps, like asking a classmate to eat lunch or get coffee after class, may be a low-pressure way to get to know more people.
Here's hoping all of you seekers and seekees bump into one another!Alice!

My vote is for the Allegiance.
As cool as the Bellator is, I never liked the rounded engine section, Always felt off to me.
Nice shot, The texture is well done/ Reminds me of Homeworld.
I would suggest adding some details to the "fins" as they look a bit flat Texture wise, but other then that, solid job.
Great job, Love the detail in the Hanger lighting.
Wonderful another one my old favs, also glad to see this one making it in. Keep up the good work Strobe!
Yes, And I love it. I can make starwars stuff from my mind and shape things a bit with my personal style and get away with it. At some point we are going to make a wiki with our thoughts and ideas on the era, however not being "cannon" it will still be the most accurate and complete archive of information on the time period.
Another great addition.
I always liked this ship.
It's a great Asset/ I would not mind trading for it.
If you are so interested.
Great job!
Yes, it is possible that I will make a campaign. First priority is GC and getting that working right. There is a good chance that there will be multiple campaigns, that closely follow the story of the Hyperspace war.
Oh my, that brings back memories;p Glad to see that old thing get some use/ Was a little sorry I never finished it.
Great additions Strobe.
It is, it is indeed.
Yeah, So little information of this era, that I'm basically making it up as I go. A set of 4 or so comics about the Hyperspace war is about all there is.;p
It might end up as such/ I'm thinking about making the Mandalorian ships smaller and fast to contrast with the Larger Sith and Republic ships.
Yeah, this is back when the Mandalorians were a Race not just a culture.
I'm going to need some particles for their ships, if you are interested in the job;p
Yeah, the design was a coffee fueled original. The Mandalorians did not play much of a role in the war, and were not very active until a bit later, however they did exist in the era and will be encounterable in GC.
Ha ha, I don't think that will happen. Both mods are of extreme quality and have nothing to try and prove.
This was always one of my favorite ships from the game, Glad to see it get more mileage.
It's looking Great G
I'm staying away from traditional starwars type music as the time period that I'm working with has very little in common with the rest of starwars, also most of what will be in the mod is more or less original.I expect to have 30+ tracks in the mod, so don't be surprise if a few make it in.
Mmm, indeed
Indeed.. Life it does these things. Looking to start up production again soon.
Beautiful work G.
I'm a fan of the mod, I am considering making some Turian ships for personal enjoyment to get back into modeling again. If you are possably interested let me know.
Sorry, I had to.. I had to...
Do I get those Sexy ladies with my download?
Great work.
Not yet.. Not yet.
Glad you like it, We have a ton more coming;p
I don't know when ground units will be worked on,still working on some feature that willl change the level of detail needed for ground unit models, so we are holding off on those for a little wile. And sorry for the lack of updates/ it's life.. Always getting in the way;p
