Acknowledging the species diversity, the Government of Sri Lanka has ear-marked the Sri Lanka side of the Gulf of Mannar to be nominated as a Biosphere Reserve under the Man & the Biosphere Programme of UNESCO.
IUCN Sri Lanka with support from the Mangroves for the Future Initiative (MFF), the
An important component of this endeavour is to share these findings with the state agencies, fisher community and other stakeholders. Accordingly, IUCN organized a series of awareness programmes in Mannar and the first of the series; for the Government officials, led by the Government Agent, Mannar was held in November 2010. The second programme targeting school children was held on 17 December at the Zonal Education Office in Mannar and was conducted through training of Master Teachers. Teachers of science, geography, history and social sciences (of Grade 9 to 11) from 31 schools in Mannar District participated. .
A training manual on the Gulf of Mannar and its Environs was prepared for this purpose. A Teaching aid – a CD containing a power point presentation on The
Following this programme, the third in the series targeting the fisher communities in Mannar district was held on 18 December at the Local Government Office in Mannar. . Twenty four representing most of the fisheries societies in all six Fisheries Inspector Divisions together with another eight officials from the Fisheries Department attended this workshop. The discussion held following the presentations on the fishery resources and related issues brought out several important recommendations from the fishing communities on matters related to their livelihood.
Coincidentally, on the day of one of the awareness programme, the Navy and the Fisheries Inspectorate apprehended fishermen who had allegedly killed and brought ashore two dugongs. Dugongs are threatened, and the awareness programmes brought forth the message on conservation through this unfortunate incident
The need for protection of the biodiversity in the GoM is now evident and it is hoped that these awareness programmes will help in conserving these resources.

If I had to define my style I'd call it classic with a glamorous twist. I like to mix classic pieces with trendier items. Luxurious fabrics make me feel spoiled. I like to show a little skin but not in a vulgar way. A cut out back, off the shoulder top, that sort of take on it. I'm almost always wearing a skirt or a dress. Black and neutrals dominate my wardrobe and I use prints and shimmer as accents. A leopard accessory or sequined cardi can really make the outfit.

As part of the Marketing Department, I was asked to accompany other Deschutes Brewery crew members to Chicago for a huge beer launch. This sounded like an exciting adventure so I thought I'd take "the kids" along for some sightseeing since neither Mirror Pond Pale Ale nor Black Butte Porter had been to the windy city before.
Our 1st stop was the Willis Tower formerly known as the Sears Tower. We had heard that this was the highest building in the US with a pinnacle height of 1729 feet though "the kids" refused to believe this and thought that they were just as tall or maybe even taller. After showing them the photo, they agreed that indeed, they were not as tall.
Next, we hit up the famous Chicago Theater built in 1921 and dubbed "The Wonder Theatre of the World." This was the first truly lavish movie theater in America being seven stories high and can hold a capacity of 3,600 show-goers. Black Butte Porter was interested in seeing a show so I let Mirror Pond Pale Ale take the spotlight and pose for some photos in front of this amazingly beautiful landmark.
It was a gorgeous day so Black Butte Porter decided to go ice skating at Millennium Park so Mirror Pond Pale Ale and I hit up our last stop of the day…Cloud Gate or "The Bean." "The Bean" is made up of 168 stainless steel plates welded together and its highly polished exterior has no visible seams. Said to have been inspired by liquid mercury, the sculpture's surface reflects and distorts the city's skyline making it the perfect spot for photos. We walked around the sculpture in awe and got some great shots.
Our last stop was the Art Institute of Chicago. After viewing some incredible works of art for about 3 hours we decided that our favorite piece was called, "The Drinkers," painted by Vincent Van Gogh in the year 1891. Black Butte Porter thought the subjects on the canvas were drinking his great great grandfather Porter, but we knew that Black Butte Porter Senior was not around until 1988.
Not only did we have a great day of sightseeing, we had 2 full weeks of over 60 events throughout the state of Illinois. We met great people, enjoyed tasty food & visited amazing bars, restaurants, bottle shops, breweries, liquor stores and grocery stores.
Chicago is our kind of town too and "the kids" have decided to stay awhile. You can find them and other Deschutes Brewery beers with our beer finder tool at: www.deschutesbrewery.com/find.
We thank the craft beer fans and community of Illinois for opening your state to us and don't worry, we'll be back…in November!!

Our Sustainable Future
With 6 initiatives, Toyota is committed to go beyond zero environmental impact and achieve a net positive impact by 2050.
How do you balance a passion for performance with a love for the planet? It's a question our engineers answer every day. We're creating vehicles that are safe, practical and fun to drive – while at the same time ensuring our cars and trucks are at the forefront of environmental engineering. Today, with more than 2 million Toyota hybrid vehicles on U.S. roads – more than any other manufacturer – and new breakthroughs in plug-in, electric, and hydrogen fuel-cell technologies, we're building better cars for the road and for the Earth.
One small step for hybrid technology creates one giant leap for fuel efficiency. Plug-in hybrid technology represents the latest advancement in fuel efficiency and practicality.
Launched in 2012, the Prius Plug-in Hybrid uses Toyota's intelligent energy management system to monitor a driver's energy use. The result? Drivers can cut gasoline consumption by as much as a third, compared to a conventional Prius.
Sure the numbers are impressive: 62 MPH on battery power alone, an EPA-estimated 540 mile Driving Range rating, 95 MPG equivalent efficiency.* But what's really impressive is the potential of plug-ins to push the boundaries of what technology can achieve. We're pretty charged up about that.
* EPA-rated driving range when vehicle is fully charged. Excludes driving conditions. Actual mileage will vary. MPGe based on 2013 EPA ratings. Actual MPGe will vary based on driving habits, charging practice, battery age, weather, temperature, and road/traffic conditions. Battery capacity will decrease with time and use. For more information on MPGe and range, please see www.fueleconomy.gov.
Electric vehicles have been around for a long time, and yet they represent a real challenge: how to create one that's not only functional, but also fun for drivers as well. We're up for that challenge.
We have been at the forefront of electric vehicle technology for more than 40 years. We've partnered with Tesla Motors to kick the next generation of electric vehicles into high gear with the RAV4 EV. The RAV4 EV offers an EPA-rated fuel economy of 76 MPG-equivalent* on a lithium-ion battery that's able to replenish itself within five hours.**
* EPA-rated driving range when vehicle is fully charged. Excludes driving conditions. Actual mileage will vary. MPGe based on 2013 EPA ratings. Actual MPGe will vary based on driving habits, charging practice, battery age, weather, temperature, and road/traffic conditions. Battery capacity will decrease with time and use. For more information on MPGe and range, please see www.fueleconomy.gov. **Charging times when vehicle is in Normal Mode and ambient temperature is at 77 degrees F. Charging times will vary with ambient temperature.
A vehicle whose sole emission is water? That's the incredible promise of fuel cell technology. We're taking that promise and making it a reality with our hydrogen-powered, fuel cell vehicle. Making its debut at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the Toyota Mirai offers an approximate driving range of 300 miles and can be refueled in three to five minutes.
We're excited that, beginning in 2015, Toyota fuel cell vehicles will be available for sale or lease in North America. It's why we took the promise of hydrogen power and finally gave it wheels.
Energy efficiency is key to reducing the carbon footprint of our operations. We received our 10th consecutive ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year — Sustained Excellence Award from the U.S. EPA. Our 14 manufacturing plants have reduced energy use by almost 11 billion kilowatt hours in the last decade, enough to power nearly 400,000 average U.S. households for an entire year.
We also look for ways to use alternative energy sources. Our assembly plant in Kentucky will generate green power from local landfill gas, enough for the production of 10,000 vehicles per year.
Water is a precious resource — one that people, industry and nature all need to survive. That's why our approach to water stewardship emphasizes both conservation and working with stakeholders.
Conserving water means finding creative ways to use less and recycle more. Five of our North American plants have installed reverse osmosis concentrate recovery systems. These systems filter and purify water that previously was discharged from our plants to a local water treatment facility, which helps us save 73 million gallons of water per year. That's enough to fill 110 Olympic-size swimming pools.
Our assembly plant in Texas uses recycled water from the city of San Antonio. Since opening in 2007, the plant has used about 1.9 billion gallons of recycled water instead of drawing fresh water from the Edwards Aquifer, which has had limits on pumping since the early 1990's. That's good for Toyota and good for the city.
Minimizing waste and conserving natural resources are fundamental to our mission of Respect for the Planet. Our team members and associates focus on reducing all kinds of waste — from office trash to cafeteria scraps and industrial waste — using the practices we all know: reduce, reuse and recycle.
Efforts to reduce, reuse and recycle earned Toyota Motor Sales (TMS) the 2013 WasteWise Large Business Partner of the Year award from the U.S. EPA. This marks the fourth consecutive year Toyota sales and logistics facilities have received a WasteWise award. The WasteWise awards program recognizes organizations' efforts to reduce refuse, increase recycling and purchase environmentally preferable products.
Over the past four years, TMS facilities recycled or avoided production of more than 304 million pounds of trash. That's equal to the weight of 1,843 Endeavor space shuttles.
Our biodiversity efforts are focused on protecting pollinators and supporting native species.
Pollinators move pollen from the male to the female part of a flower to fertilize the plant. One of the more well-known pollinators is the monarch butterfly. Their numbers have been declining in recent years. To help reverse this trend, several Toyota locations, including the plants in Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi and Indiana, committed to certifying Monarch Waystation Habitats. Waystation habitats provide milkweed for larvae and energy sources from wildflower nectar for adult butterflies.
The site of our assembly plant in Mississippi contains the perfect habitat for wood ducks. Imagine the delight when team members discovered baby wood ducks in some of the nesting boxes they had installed one year ago. The plant's efforts to protect wildlife earned them Wildlife Habitat Council certification in 2014.

1969 Ford Mustang SOHC - Match RacerWritten by on May 2, 2014 A Factory Ford Drag Team Cammer Mustang
The "Ford Drag Team" lettering leaves no doubt as to the factory heritage of this '69 Mustang. Yes, other Ford race cars had sponsorship and a factory lineage, including the famous "dollar cars." The dollar price transferred ownership—and therefore liability of the racing activities—directly to the team operating outside Ford.
In contrast, this Mustang was part of Ford's Drag Team. There was no external team. The factory was the team, with racing and other activities administered by Car Corporation, a special operations division out of Livonia, Michigan, working directly for Ford Motor Company.
The heritage of the '69 featured here becomes even more tantalizing considering Ford chose to power it with the illustrious 427 Cammer. Introduced in 1964, the SOHC (single overhead cam) big-block was essentially a hand-built racing motor never installed in a production car. Ford built this engine to go up against Chrysler's 426 Hemi in stock car racing, but NASCAR banned Ford's new 427 in 1965 due to the fact it was not homologated in a production car.
The 427 SOHC motor did find a niche in professional drag racing, where it earned a reputation in Top Fuel dragsters and numerous Funny Cars.
Ford was selling Boss 429s and 428 Cobra Jets in 1969 and 1970. The Cammer era wasn't fully over in racing. Cammers had gained an elite reputation in extremely exotic racing machinery, such as Connie Kalitta's Bounty Hunter and Dyno Don Nicholson's nitro-burning Funny Cars. The sight of a Cammer engine really excited crowds at the big drag races in the '60s. No doubt, Ford capitalized on the Cammer's killer drag racing image in this '69 Mustang match racer. Only two were built.
Ford restoration guru Bob Perkins drifted back to the 1980s to tell us how he acquired this historic Mustang. Jacky Jones, the famous Ford and Mustang collector and Ford dealer in Georgia, "found out about this car" through one of his drivers.
"Bob Oswald drove one of the Ford transporter haulers that delivered new cars to Jacky's dealership," Perkins said.
Oswald noticed a '69 Mustang fastback drag car sitting outside Tom Sutton's shop in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Oswald talked to Sutton and discovered this car was an old Ford factory team drag racer. Oswald then told Jones.
Perkins and Jones are good friends and often traded vintage Mustangs as they built their collections. Perkins found and sold to Jones Hubert Platt's '69 Super Stock Ford Drag team car. What Jones had run across, and was able to purchase and trade to Perkins, was the old Hubert Platt Ford East Coast Drag Team Mustang for 1969 and 1970.
The East Coast Team, running blue cars with white stripes, consisted of a '69 Mustang match racer with a 427 SOHC V-8, a '69 428 Cobra Jet for Super Stock (the aforementioned car now in Jones' collection), and a Torino with a 428 Cobra Jet engine, also for Super Stock. Platt, who was the captain of this team, drove both Mustangs. Randy Payne drove the Torino.
Platt sold the Cammer to Sutton, who drag-raced the car with a 428 Cobra Jet. Then he let it sit outside his shop. Through Jones, Perkins became the third owner.
The old Mustang was "pretty complete," Perkins said. The body was clean and rust-free, and he had most of the trick pieces, such as the fiberglass doors, fenders, decklid, and hood, mounting an oversized Boss 429-style scoop. His shop spent "a lot of time getting that fiberglass straight." The old drag car also had many "extra holes drilled for fuel pumps etc.," and as a result his shop had to weld up these holes.
Inside, the old Mustang had lightweight aluminum door panels and pull straps for the Lexan side windows, very similar to a '65 Shelby G.T. 350 Competition Mustang fastback. The three-point rollbar was also intact, as were the Stewart-Warner oil pressure and water temperature gauges in the center of the dash, and the 9,000-rpm Auto Meter tachometer on top of the dash, just to the right of the steering wheel.
The driver's seat is a curiosity. Holman & Moody-Stroppe built these cars. However, once the drivers got them, they made changes. Platt transferred his "favorite seat," including the seat tracks, from his long-nose '65 Mustang drag racer. When he sold the '69 Cammer, he again kept this seat for his next drag car, a Maverick. Sutton retrieved the original seat after he sold the '69 match racer to Jones. Perkins subsequently bought the seat from Sutton and installed it in this car.
Parts of the Cammer motor were still there (one of many Platt used, no doubt). The irreplaceable piece was the experimental Ford intake, a must-have for an accurate restoration. Platt had sold this intake to racer buddy Ed Skelton in South Carolina.
Perkins lucked out getting back this historic intake from well-known racing parts dealer Jay Cushman, who had purchased "all of Ed Skelton's stuff."
Perkins said, "I got the intake from Cushman in 1990. When he found out I had the car, he brought it to the indoor swap meet in Columbus, Ohio."
Over the years, Bob Perkins turned down many offers to buy this intake.
"That's the only one ever made like that. You just can't find a factory tunnel ram for a Cammer motor. That's a factory Ford XE experimental tunnel ram intake."
Perkins installed the intake and has restored Platt's old match racer to the way it was in 1969.
1969 and 1970 were glory days for drag racing
Running low 10s at 135 mph, Platt's '69 match racer became very popular at the dragstrip, especially in the South. During the week, Car Corporation scheduled the Drag Team cars to travel to dealerships around the country for seminars that included the drag racers. The Mustangs arrived on special cab-over ramp trucks, painted in the same color schemes as the drag cars.
The years 1969 and 1970 were glory days for drag racing. The baby boom generation was in its prime youth years. Platt would show up and race fan favorites like Grumpy Jenkins or Sox and Martin and pack the stands with screaming teenagers eager to watch a best-of-three match race.
Ford was still funding its Drag Team for 1970. There was no need to start over with a '70 Mustang. Instead, Ford merely updated the '69 to look like a '70 model with new fenders and two headlights instead of four in the grille.
The 1969 match racers became so popular, the NHRA created a new Pro Stock classification for them in 1970. Buster Couch, of the NHRA in the Atlanta area, gave his friend Hubert Platt the first number, No. 201 in this brand-new Pro Stock class.
In fact, the 1970 NHRA rulebook actually pictures this very car for the Pro Stock class. The photo is of the car rigged as a '69 model, or exactly as Perkins restored Platt's Mustang.

Externally, the '69 match racer resembled a Boss 429, but the power came from a mid-'60s 427 Cammer, which was the rage in the late '60s in NHRA Funny Cars and rails.Perkins was fortunate to retrieve the XE experimental tunnel ram intake, to which he mounted a matching pair of 652-cfm Holley four-barrel C8OX-A racing carburetors.Open Hooker racing headers, with no mufflers, stand out on the undercarriage. Even the brake drums were lightened.Here's a shot of a Ford Drag Team seminar, with Hubert Platt speaking. As you can see, selling parts was important.

Dear Friend: Epistolary Novels

On my recent vacation, I sat by the ocean reading Dear Exile: The True Story of Two Friends Separated (For a Year) by an Ocean by Hilary Liftin. Hilary and Kate are best friends who decide to write letters back and forth while Kate serves in the Peace Corps. I loved delving into their letters and the women reminded me of my best friends.
Epistolary novels have been around for many centuries. One of the more famous novels in this form is Bram Stoker's Dracula. Although written letters seem to be dying out, many authors are still using this popular format for novels today.
Here are a few of my favorites:
- Rosie Dunne by Cecelia Ahern
- Attachments by Rainbow Rowell
- The Boy Next Door by Meg Cabot
- Life on the Refrigerator Door: Notes Between a Mother and a Daughter by Alice Kuipers

Epistolary novels
One of my favorites these days -- though not a novel -- is 84 Charing Cross Road. It's letters between the writer Helene hanff and a bookseller in London. The very reserved bookseller gradually becomes a friend. This one is a novel: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. It's about a "book club" (not really a book club) on a British island occupied by the Germans during WWII. I loved these two as a kid and still do (except for the prejudice I now see in some of the letters): Dear Enemy and Daddy Long-Legs, both by Jean Webster. They're about an orphanage and the love that blossoms there.

Lawmakers may save records law
Assembly, Senate differ on approach to transparency measure
SACRAMENTO The Senate and Assembly are taking different approaches to dousing the firestorm over provisions approved with the state budget on Friday that would make it optional for local governments to comply with parts of California's open records act.
Speaker John Pérez, D-Los Angeles, said the Assembly plans to vote Thursday on an amended bill that would preserve the full California Public Records Act. The budget measure causing controversy was adopted to save the state from having to reimburse local governments for certain costs of following the law.
"To be clear, this means that the California Public Records Act will remain intact without any changes as part of the budget," Pérez said.
The budget provisions excused local governments from responding to records requests within 10 days, providing electronic records and helping citizens form requests for records that actually exist — creating a last-minute stir among media and open-government groups.
Senate President Pro Tempore Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said the Senate would refuse to take up the Assembly's bill until there is proof that a local agency is not complying with the law.
Instead, Steinberg and Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, said they would introduce a constitutional amendment Thursday to be placed on the June 2014 statewide ballot that would require local governments to fund all provisions of the records law. The amendment would be required because, without it, the constitution bars the legislature from imposing unfunded mandates on local governments.
"The amendment will clarify that this controversy was never about weakening the Public Records Act," Steinberg said. "It instead is about whether state taxpayers pay the bill for what city and county officials should be doing on their own."
The senators said they also would consider making the Legislature subject to the state's open records act, as opposed to its own less stringent rules.
Gov. Jerry Brown issued a statement late Wednesday saying he supports the constitutional amendment approach.
"We all agree that Californians have a right to know and should continue to have prompt access to public records and I support enshrining these protections in California's constitution," he said.
The budget proposal in question was originally put forth by Brown, after a commission ruled that the state would have to reimburse local governments for the costs of complying with the public-records provisions in question. By declining to fund such reimbursements, the budget he proposed would have nullified the requirements.
U-T Watchdog reported on the proposed rollback of transparency in February, but policymakers and advocates largely ignored the issue until this past weekend. Starting at that time, several newspapers ran news stories and editorials in defense of the open-records requirements.
San Diego Mayor Bob Filner pledged Wednesday to comply with the Public Records Act regardless of how the Legislature responds.
"I believe in transparency," Filner said in an interview. "We're trying to open up the whole process."
Filner said the city does receive a number of requests.
"It takes a lot of resources. I am not talking just the press. The press, we expect. It's the lawyers and (other) people. I just saw a list of 20 this week. Two were from the press. Eighteen were from lawyers or community groups," Filner said.
He added the city hopes to post all of its public records online.
Separately, Councilman Scott Sherman on Wednesday proposed a "San Diego Public Records Act" that would establish the city's policy of responding to requests within 10 days, providing electronic records in their original format and attaching a written reason if a request is denied.

Part 14: Keeping Your Junk In The TrunkWritten by on November 1, 2003 Installing a Trunk Floor
As gearheads, we take mechanical upgrades and repairs for granted. But, throw in some bodywork and a lot of guys freak out! Replacing sheetmetal is generally a job performed at professional shops. Metal replacement, however, does not have to be feared. If you take your time, cut twice and measure once--or vice versa--it's really not that hard.
The trunk pans in our Valiant could best be described as peppered. If we lived in the Northeast, during the winter we could have filled the trunk with salt and evenly covered the icy highways. We were fortunate that the trunk extension panels--the sheetmetal that extends from the trunk floor to the bottom edge of the quarter-panels--were in good shape. This made the repair easy, because the metal we needed to replace was basically a flat piece of tin.
There are literally hundreds of places to buy sheetmetal, but this time we contacted Year One for the necessary trunk floor, gasket, and trunk mat. Trunk pans can be ordered in separate halves or as one piece. When these cars were originally built, the trunk floors were installed before the quarter-panels were hung. In some cars, it's impossible to fit a one-piece floor into place through the trunk-lid opening. If you do not have the quarters removed, or your car's trunk-lid opening isn't large enough to accommodate a one-piece floorpan, you may want to get the two-piece trunk floor to ease installation. Our Valiant has a large trunk-lid opening, so we opted to replace the entire floor with the one-piece pan, PN M216. If you're planning such a replacement, take your time, and hopefully you'll gain confidence when you see how easy it is.

The trunk floor in our Valiant was in need of a large piece of repair metal. Since we were going to replace it anyway, we called Year One to get one with the correct bends and dimples.Before you do any cutting, remove the gas tank. Early A-Bodies used a single strap from framerail to framerail to hold it in place. Simply unhook the hose to the fuel pump and the fuel-gauge wire, and then loosen the stud holding the strap. Oh yeah, it's easier if you empty the gas tank before removal. Before you start cutting out the floorpan, make sure all wires (like those to the taillights) are moved so they don't get damaged.The trunk latch is spot-welded to the trunk floor and needs to be moved out of the way. To do this, drill the spot-welds at the bottom of the latch, and lift the trunk latch out of the way just enough to get to the floor. To avoid compromising alignment, we didn't remove the spot-welds at the top.Here is the opening where the floor was removed. (A) This area of the trunk floor is an overlap weld. Drill the spot-welds out and leave the portion underneath. (B) Also, spot-welds hold the trunk floor to the framerails. Drill the spot-welds out. (C) Where the floor meets the trunk extensions, cut the floor about 1/2 inch in (on the trunk-floor side) from the seam. When the old floor is gone, the remaining piece of the floor can be removed with a grinder or cut-off wheel from the extension. Finish cutting the floor loose at the rear portion and take it out. Section D was rusted out, and since no repair panels are available for this area, a new piece of sheetmetal will be added.Here, you can see the excess trunk-floor metal has been removed from the extensions, and the spot-welds on the frame have been ground smooth. After the floor was removed and everything cleaned up, we coated the inside of the framerails with a rust inhibitor.With the opening ready for the new sheetmetal, we put the new trunk floor in place and sprayed primer along the bottom of the pan at the framerails. This will show us where to drill the holes for the spot-welds.Here, you can see the placement of the holes for the floor-to-frame filler-welds. Originally, the factory had a welder with long arms that would pinch and weld the two pieces together. Most enthusiasts don't have access to this type of tool, so the floor is drilled and the metal welded to the frame by filling the holes.The first welds you need to make are the filler-welds to the framerails. After that is done, weld the back of the pan to the taillight-panel area. Weld in short, 1- to 2-inch lengths, and alternate locations to avoid heat-warping the metal.
Underneath, the floor is clamped to the extension and welded. From the factory, these were also pinch-welded. We simply spot-migged every inch or so.We put our fuel tank in place and marked the general location at which the filler neck will be. We then removed the gas tank and drilled small reference holes from the bottom. We placed the new gasket on the top side of the floor, centered it over the drilled reference holes, traced the gasket, and cut the necessary opening. Remember to cut the opening smaller than the gasket so it can be attached to the floor when you're done. Reattach the fuel tank, and slide the filler neck through the gasket and into the tank.

By: Celeste Little Posted: Oct. 19 2012 1:21 PM 0 ABC (The Root) -- From the problem-solving Olivia Pope to the problem-causing Liz Lemon, the ladies took over TV on Thursday night, and they were entertaining, perhaps to the chagrin of Tracy Jordan. Scandal (Thursday, 10 p.m. ET; ABC) "They know about the late-night phone calls from the West Wing!" --Arty "I am protecting my country. You are dabbling in national-security issues." --Fitz "I am not yours. I don't show up places because you want me. I am not yours. This is over." --Olivia "You see her again, I'll blow you away ... and I'm an excellent shot. Remember?" --Mellie Highlights: So the NSA has been acting a lot like Big Brother, spying on American citizens and even monitoring the president in the West Wing, according to Arty, a former NSA employee. He's also got Olivia (Kerry Washington) convinced that they're out to kill him. But she finds out that's not the truth and Arty was actually planning on using her team to unencrypt the Big Brother software to sell it to private companies. Let's just say Olivia's pissed. Pissed enough to have Huck (Guillermo Diaz) shoot Arty with a tranquilizer gun and turn him over to the feds. In the meantime, Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) is jealous that one of Olivia's old flames is back in her life. During a hunting trip, he calls her out to the woods to scream it out. Well, screaming turns into kissing, and kissing turns back into rage, so we're back to square one again. The president and Olivia are not together. This revelation is a little too late, because the first lady has already found out. She promises that she might lick shots at her hubby if he can't get his act together. Do right, Mr. President, do right. Watch here. 30 Rock (8 p.m. ET; NBC) "Since Chris and I have been trying, Liz Lemon has had a little awakening in the bathing-suit area." --Liz "Liz, I've seen your bathing suits. That could be anywhere." --Jack "Say hello to Professor Wigglebottom. See how he's wearing clothes and he's got a suitcase like he's going on a business trip? Why is he being so professional?" --Tracy Highlights: Liz's (Tina Fey) sexual awakening has her channeling Carrie Bradshaw. Though Jack (Alec Baldwin) has a bunch of different women playing for his team, he's disappointed when he finds out he's not the MVP. And Tracy (Tracy Morgan), while trying to prove that women aren't funny, gets a monkey named Professor Wigglebottom, because monkeys are obviously funny to everyone. Oh, wait -- turns out the professor is a girl. Not so funny.

May 31, 2016
So a complex weather set-up is currently taking place over Mississippi. First, a FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY is in effect until 9pm for Winston and Leake Counties. Temperatures across Mississippi are ranging from near 40 near Waynesboro and 33 in Louisville as of 4pm. Along Highway 25, temperatures are close enough to freezing that any rain that falls could freeze on contact to cars, overpasses, and bridges. South of this line, it is cold enough aloft for a few flakes to make it to the ground. South of about Highway 18, it is a little too warm to see much in the way of flakes.
Snowfall will not accumulate at all, but Leake and Winston counties could see up to a tenth of an inch of ice by 9pm, making travel very dangerous. If you plan on traveling north of the viewing area towards the Golden Triangle or west towards Jackson, travel is not advised.
After about 9pm, temperatures will start increasing, which will put an end to our wintry threat and turn us all over to complete rain. Rain will continue Tuesday before we get a break late Wednesday into Thursday where our final round of precipitation will arrive Thursday afternoon. It is possible, though not likely at this point, that snow may mix in again Thursday. For now, will not mention it outside of this discussion until models get into better agreement and I have more confidence it is even possible.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) -- District leaders broke ground on trying to stop the flooding problems at Bloomingdale and Le Droit Park, Northwest.
The District will now refurbish two old tanks and tunnels at the McMillan sand filtration site and use them to store 6 million gallons of storm water when it rains. It's expected to be completed in 2014.
The site use to filter the District's drinking water.
In phase two, an additional six million gallons of combined water and sewage will flow through a Metro size tunnel under First Street. The completion date is scheduled for 2016.
And lastly, another big tunnel will be constructed under Rhode Island avenue. This will be completed three years earlier than expected in 2022 instead of 2025.
Russ Kinner has suffered through four major floodings this year. He hasn't stopped worrying.
"I know everyone was losing sleep over what was Hurricane Sandy going to mean to me."
The storm didn't cause any flooding in the neighborhood but he remembers the last time rains flooded his basement was the Sunday before Labor Day.
"That's when I started praying for the rain to stop. I thought I'd be swimming back to the stairs instead of walking. Now there is a season of hope."
The District has called the project 'the Northeast Boundary Neighborhood Protection Project' which is a section of the 2.6 billion dollar Clean Rivers Project.
But these additions and changes will add 40 million dollars to the overall cost.

This is basically my first post and would like to congratulate VMware and all the Zimbra people for this fine, excellent, beautiful piece of software.
My Ubuntu 10.04 64x server is up and running for a day now with zimbra open source edition. Ubuntu is by far the biggest linux distro, it would be nice to see the latest LTS versions always supported by zimbra, like 12.04. Not sure, but it seems in bugzilla that support for 12.04 is not schedule for next zimbra release. haaa it's all about money
The server as latest kernel and all components updated, so far do good, nothing broken that I have noticed.
I'm accustomed to MSExchange, Postfix and Citadel, home and work email servers.
At work we have around 120 email user accounts and are currently using Exchange for 1 year now. We tried to go open source before exchange with ubuntu and citadel. Citadel was up and running (crashing) for 2 moths before we added Exchange. Those 2 months were the worse time of my life and I strongly advise users to avoid this MTA, nothing good about it, not stable, constant crashes, berkleyDB database meltdowns, bad user and administrator web gui, bbs based, no support, basically nothing works as publicized in their website. Before moving to exchange we considered using zimbra, but unfortunately back then the ubuntu supported version was too old, and everything kinda felt ubuntu unsupported...
At home I run postfix as a smarthost and used to have citadel for 2 users. 2 days ago citadel email server stop working and melted the database with the latest "easy update install " yes it was easy alright . Also their ubuntu repositories are constantly affected with bad coding errors and have to be constantly fixed. So, if you are planning on running a serious MTA for professional use citadel is wayyyyy out of question. For home use (1 or 2 email accounts) you may run it if you don't mind loosing all your stuff once in a while. So at home, for the past day and a half I have been using Zimbra.... wow Ôô nice stuff, this could easily replace an exchange server. Love it, thank you guys.
I followed this how-to, thanks LHammonds.
The only issue during installation was with my etc/hosts file, that gave me a ldap error upon first save to configuration, so my bad.

CANTON, Ga. -- It has been two weeks since Sherry Garland said goodbye to her son Zach Rose as he walked out of the door of their Canton home. Zach Rose told his mother to watch over her grandson. That's what Zach called his pet Great Dane Mathias. Garland never saw her son alive again.
Garland spoke to 11Alive News, going public for the first time since her son's murder. It was difficult for her, but she wanted to do it because the man wanted for her son's murder is still on the loose. "We need him off the street before somebody else's family is devastated, before another life is stolen," she said. "This is like the hardest thing ever."
Shane Demetrice Woods, 22, aka "Yung Slim ABG", is wanted by Alpharetta Police, and he is believed to be armed and dangerous. This isn't the first time Woods has been in trouble with the law.
DeKalb County Court records obtained by 11Alive News show that Woods was charged with murder in October 2010 in connection with an armed robber/home invasion in Decatur. The case was dismissed in April 2012 and was never presented to a grand jury because of insufficient evidence.
Nine months later, Woods is a suspect in the murder of Zachary Rose who was gunned down in the doorway of an Alpharetta condo on January 28th. A second suspect, Jarad Terel Owens, 22, was taken into custody shortly after the murder.
RELATED | Man Dead After Alpharetta Shooting
Garland said she can't figure out why her son succumbed to such violence. "I mean he was a good person," she said. "Anybody who knew him knew that, and I don't know why anybody would want to hurt him."
RELATED | Victim's Friends Mourn
Holding a picture of her son and supported by Zach's father John Garland and high school friend Jerad Bartlett, Sherry Garland fought through tears to ask for help. She wants to move on with her grief. "I just keep waiting for him to walk back in the door," she said. "I know he's not going to, but it just doesn't feel real yet."
Alpharetta Police are offering a $1,000 reward if you can simply tell them where Shane Woods is.
A "Zach Rose Memorial Fund" has been set up to help the family pay for his funeral. Any extra money will go toward the reward fund.

Integrated Water Resource Management: A new way forward
Expectations for water resources management have been transformed over the last century. The engineer's hydraulic mission has been replaced by the mission of Integrated Water Resources Management. IWRM sets out to reconcile multiple, competing uses for water, with legitimacy attained through public participation, and with coordination and technical competence assured through specialised basin entities or agencies where they exist. Yet, still problems in water resource management accumulate faster than they are resolved.
Green infrastructure - Guide for water management
Ecosystem-based management approaches for water-related infrastructure projects.
Green Infrastructure (GI) is becoming increasingly recognized as an important opportunity for addressing the complex challenges of water management.The GI approach refers to the natural or semi-natural systems that provide services for water resources management with equivalent or similar benefits to conventional (built) "grey" water infrastructure. The illustrative case studies in this guide provide examples of GI options that address water management challenges, while delivering a number of significant co-benefits.
Food Security: making the ecosystem connections
Food security policy-makers in developing countries have much to gain from integrating ecosystem management and good ecosystem governance into their policy measures, and collaborating with other sectoral policy-making initiatives to ensure they consistently support food security. Effective policies also address the social aspects of the ecosystem connections to food security by strengthening, for example, land tenure, access rights to natural resources, local organizations, and gender equality.
Framing Paper: Water for Nature, Nature for Water
The IUCN 'Water for Nature, Nature for Water' Framing Paper was submitted to guide the consultation process on water management of the UN led Post 2015 'The World We Want' initiative.
Practical guidelines for establishing a Community Environment Conservation Fund
The 'Practical guidelines for establishing a Community Environment Conservation Fund as a tool to catalyse social and ecological resilience' has been developed based on practical lessons learnt from the Building Drought Resilience through Land and Water Management (BDR) project. BDR is a three year (2012-2014) project being implemented around the lower Tana River in Kenya and around the upper Aswa River in Uganda. The project is implementing IUCN's Resilience Framework to climate variability and change, and is funded by the Austrian Development Cooperation.
The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity for Water and Wetlands
Wetlands are essential in providing water-related ecosystem services, such as clean water for drinking, water for agriculture, cooling water for the energy sector and regulating water quantity (e.g. flood regulation).
The "nexus" between water, food and energy is one of the most fundamental relationships and challenges for society. The importance of this nexus was reemphasised at the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) in June 2012. The outcome document adopted at Rio+20 "The Future We Want" noted: "We recognize the key role that ecosystems play in maintaining water quantity and quality and support actions within respective national boundaries to protect and sustainably manage these ecosystems" UNCSD (2012, para 122). Wetlands are a fundamental part of local and global water cycles and are at the heart of this nexus. We also expect wetlands to be key to meeting the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the future Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Putting Nature in the Nexus: Investing in Natural Infrastructure to Advance Water-Energy- Food Security
Nature is the unseen dimension of the nexus. With its functions integral to the three securities and their inter-dependence, nature is part of the infrastructure needed to manage the nexus and its resilience.
Nature helps mediate the nexus links, by storing, moving, cleaning and buffering flows of water, making drought and flood less severe, and food and energy production more reliable.
Without healthy ecosystems in well-functioning watersheds, the infrastructure built for irrigation, hydropower or municipal water supply does not function sustainably, and is unlikely to achieve the economic returns necessary to justify investments.
Water for Business: Initiatives guiding sustainable water management in the private sector
Initiatives guiding sustainable water management in the private sector
Water for Business is a guide specifically designed for businesses to help them identify water tools and initiatives most suitable for their needs and environmental sustainability. It was released in August 2012, by WBCSD, IUCN, and SustainAbility.
The guide, which is available online, will help businesses to use water more effectively and support their efforts in adopting more sustainable solutions in partnership with other stakeholders.
The guide outlines the benefits of the different tools available, illustrates how a combination of complementary tools can best meet wide ranging needs, and helps businesses to manage the complexity of water-related challenges.
Water Vision to Action: Catalyzing Change through the IUCN Water and Nature Initiative
In 2000, the World Water Vision, based on recognition that water is the basis for all living ecosystems, envisioned a world in which adequate water is provided to meet basic human needs in an equitable manner and in harmony with nature.
The Water and Nature Initiative (WANI) was IUCN's response to the global agenda on water and development and the call to move from vision to action. The overall goal was 'Mainstreaming of an ecosystem approach into catchment policies, planning and management'. The report contains the main results of over 10 years of implementing the Water and Nature Initiative.
Environment as Infrastructure - Resilience to climate change impacts on water through investments in nature
Impacts of climate change, in combination with other drivers of global change, are compromising our ability to address global economic, security and social priorities
As floods, drought and other impacts of climate change on water become more frequent or intense, economies and livelihood security will weaken. Adapting to such impacts by building resilience is integral to addressing these global priorities. As water is at the centre of climate change impacts, this demands a focus on resilience to impacts on water. The environment has a critical role in building resilience to climate change and reducing vulnerabilities in communities and economies. Well-functioning watersheds and intact floodplains and coasts provide water storage, flood control and coastal defence. They are 'natural infrastructure' for adaptation.
Securing Water for Ecosystems and Human Well-being: The Importance of Environmental Flows
This report represents a joint effort between a number of organisations and individuals working at the forefront of research, training, and implementation of environmental flows. The collective goal is to illuminate the role of environmental flows in simultaneously improving human well-being and sustaining vital ecosystems. The reader will come to understand environmental flows as essential to meetingwater management challenges faced today and into the future, including adaptation to climate change.

Love that review. Thing looks very big for a 6", really much bigger then the 102 on top, I initially thought it was a 80mm. Enjoy that beautiful scope!

Enjoyed your review and pictures. I'd love to hear more observing experiences, especially what you've found in terms of wide field views with this scope. Planets are always interesting, however I'd think this scope's forte will be the wide fields we usually only see in smaller scopes (like your 102), and with 6" of light gathering it must be a great rich field scope? It has the same focal length as my 100mm ED, but something like double the light gathering, so it intrigues me.

What is your experiance with splitting double stars using high magnification especialy with an hige magnitude primery - is there a significant CA?
Looks like a fine scope.
Posted 21 November 2011 - 04:15 PM
I don't have a complete answer for your question yet. Before getting the CT152 I only had a passing interest in double stars. I recently bought The Cambridge Double Star Atlas so I can get more into viewing them next Spring and Summer. I can tell you that viewing the popular doubles like Albireo, Cor Caroli, Mizar, the Double-Double, etc. there is vertually no CA, except for Mizar. At 2.2 mag it did show a little CA, but when I used my Baader Fringe Killer filter on Mizar the CA did not show. When viewing very bright stars such as Vega, Altair, Arcturus and the planet Jupiter, the CA is fairley significant. Using the Baader filter gets rid of about 50 to 60 percent of the CA. I made an aperture mask 4.5 inches in diameter to see what effect it would have. The mask effectively makes the scope into an F-8. By using the mask and the Baader filter together I got very good results. The CA on the bright stars was cut by 90 percent or more and on Jupiter I coudn't see any CA! In the future when trying to split a close double with a bright primary I'm probably going to have to use the mask and filter. I hope this gives you a better idea of this scopes CA issues. Warren

I really enjoyed your article. I have been eyeballing the AT (hands on optics) version for a while now. I am a big fan of big wide field views of DSO's. I have been smitten with the ES152 for some time as well, but your review as well as other comments have led me in this direction. Thank you for all of the great photo's as well.
Posted 22 November 2011 - 12:21 AM
I really enjoyed reading your comments. You sound just like me! When I decided to buy a short focus 6" acromatic refractor it was the Explore Scientific AR152 that I was considering. But then I came across two reviews that changed my mind. Scopereviews.com has a head to head review (by Ed Ting) of the AT152 and the Exp. Sci. AR152, complete with pictures of both scopes side by side. If you haven't read this review go to their website, on the home page scroll down to review #P-26 and click on it. The review that finally sold me on this scope was Larry Carlino's review of the AT152 on this website. When I discovered that Canadiantelescopes.com was selling the same scope (as the CT152) with the 3" focuser I couldn't resist. I don't think you can go wrong with any of these scopes. It's just a matter of how much you want to spend.

Just wondering if you are happy with the Celestron CG5-GT mount? I am guessing that the advertised 35# payload capacity has a decent safety factor.
Posted 06 December 2011 - 05:41 PM
The short answer to your question is yes, I am happy with the CG5-GT mount. But there were problems that had to be solved before I was satisfied. One of the problems (mentioned in my review) is the Vixen type saddle supplied with the mount. This is the weak point when it comes to this mounts payload capicity. The all up weight of my telescope system is about 34 pounds. The thought of mounting my telescope on the CG5 saddle was just plain scary. If you look at the picture of the CG5 saddle in my review, you'll see 2 teeth about 2 1/2 inches apart on one side and a screw lock on the other side. These 3 contact points are all you have to carry the weight! Every time you use the screw lock to mount the scope your going to make gouge marks in your dove tail bar. Over a period of time this will really tear it up. The 6 inch ADM replacement saddle solves this problem. With the new saddle the mount lives up to it's advertised 35 pound payload capicity with no problem. The 2nd problem I ran into was with the power cord supplied with the mount. The cord comes with a nice screw lock feature to hold the cord tightly in place when pluged in. But you can't use it! The socket on the drive base is to shallow. You can't push the power cord plug far enough into the socket to engage the screw lock. With out the locking feature the power cord plug is to loose and the drive base looses power intermitently. This blows the mounts alignment every time it happens, which forces you to redo the alignment. A major annoyance. I bought a new power cord which I had to jury rig to fit tightly in the socket to solve the problem. The last problem I found was with the lubrication of the mounts drive gears. From other reviews I read some buyers complained that there wasn't enough grease on the gears or that it was to stiff in cold weather. I decided to take the covers off my drive base to check. To my shock I found no lubrication! The gears were running metal to metal! I used a light wheel bearing grease I bought at Auto Zone to solve the problem. Now that I have solved these problems the mount has performed very well. After balancing the scope it carries the scopes weight with ease. When using the 2 star alignment method plus 2 additional stars the go to pointing accuracy has been excellent. I hope this gives you a better idea of this mount. If you have any more questions let me know.
Posted 18 December 2011 - 04:28 AM
A question on the mount - I have the CT152 and the "outside" dimension of the carry handle included appears to be about 9.5" which you replaced with the mini dove tail bar. Just wondering which dove tail bar you ordered from ADM?
Thank you very much for generously sharing - making it almost too easy. The tip regarding the power cord is another that will save alot of frustration.
Posted 18 December 2011 - 04:55 PM
Glad I can be of some help. Regarding your question about the mini dove tail bar, if you have checked the ADM web site you have already discovered they don't make a bar 9.5" long. What I did was buy a mini dove tail bar for a 8" Celestron SCT. This bar is 13.5" long. To make it work I cut about 4" off using a 32T (32 teeth per in) hack saw. I used a fine flat file to make it even and smooth. I then drilled a 1/4" hole for the mounting screw. I used a 1/2" drill bit to counter sink the mounting hole so I could use a flat head mounting screw that would be flush with the top of the mini dove tail bar. On the other end of the bar simply use the 1" slotted hole that is provided. This turned out very nice and looks professional. There is another way to solve this problem that doesn't require any cutting or drilling. This method would require you to buy a Meade LXD mini dove tail bar that is 11" long and a VDUP11 Vixen dove tail bar that is also 11" long. You could use the VDUP11 to replace the Vixen bar that came with your scope and the LXD mini dove tail to replace the carry handle. These bars should bolt right up. This will increase the distance between your scopes cradle rings from 9.5" to 11" but that shouldn't be a problem. The down side is it will cost an extra $59. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask.

I have the CT 152 set up and balanced on a CG5-GT mount thanks to your tips. Anthony from ATM cut the dovetail bar to 9.5" which made it even easier. Just wondering it taking the cover off the drive base was a difficult project? Even indoors the gears seem to grind a bit even without the larger finder scope mounted. One last question from this relative beginner - what 2" eyepieces would you think are minimum to enjoy this particular scope? I have a decent Garrett SWA 32mm so far.
Posted 01 January 2012 - 06:29 PM
Nice to here from you again. It sounds like your telescope and mount set up is very close to what I have. Your going to love using it when you get warmer weather. Regarding your question on the drive base covers, the declination drive cover is easy to take apart and reinstall. This is the cover that is directly under the scope when it is mounted. To check the gears for lubrication I would take this cover off first. If you find the gears are well lubricated you can probably assume the right ascension drive is ok as well. But, if you find no lubrication, like I did, you'll be forced to remove the clam shell covers on the R.A. drive to check. This is the cover with all the sockets for the power cord, hand control, etc. This is a difficult job because of all the wiring and components they cramed in there. If you decide you need to take the R.A. covers off, try to note the position of everything in there as you SLOWLY pull the covers appart. I wasn't carefull with this and it took me over an hour to figure out how it all went back together. Everything has to go back the same way it came out or you won't be able to reclose the covers! As to your question on eyepieces, I've found that I use my Meade 2" 14mm U.W. by far the most on this scope. It gives 64 power with a 1.3 deg field which is great for many globular & open clusters, nebula and galaxies. For really wide field views I use my 2" Meade 40mm S.W. which gives 23 power with a big 3 deg field. Your 32mm should work well in this catagory. For higher powers I use my Meade 8.8mm U.W. and my Explore Scientfic 4.7 U.W. which gives 102 and 191 power. I also have a short 2" Antares 1.6 power barlow which I bought from scopestuff.com. I have found that these 4 eyepieces plus the barlow pretty much covers all my viewing needs, they give me a range of powers from 23 to 306. As always, if I can be of any more help with questions let me know.

My experience with A. Jaegers' 5-inch and 6-inch f/5 objectives (no longer available) is very similar to yours (except they used to cost far, far less). The c.a. observed never appeared as bad as the theory presents it. But that is true of other aberrations as well. The 5-inch f/5 Jaegers lens photographically resolved M13, and visually with averted vision.
Your article is an affirmation that short-focus achromats can look good, are easy to transport and set up and give decent very views visually and photographically.
Posted 21 January 2012 - 11:51 PM
I certainly hope my review didn't leave the impression that a 6" refractor is better than a 10" SCT or 10" reflector. That was not my intent. Each type of scope has it's own unique advantages. Even though my Meade 10" SCT is 25 years old, it is in better condition now than when I bought it new. I added computer controls and Bob's Knobs (for easy collumation). From Peterson Engineering I installed an upgraded focuser, to limit mirror shift, and a larger 2" visual back. This scope has performed well and still looks new. My two failed attempts to split Porrima with this scope were with it set up on a large paved parking lot (at Eastman Lake) about an hour after sunset after a hot day. There was still some heat radiating from the pavement that was affecting seeing on both of these ocassions. The theoritical resolution of a 10" SCT is around a 1/2 arc second but thats under ideal conditions, which doesn't happen very often. The night I split Porrima with my 6" CT152 refractor I was set up on grass in my front yard. A much better situation. If I had my 10" set up that night in my front yard I'm pretty sure it would have split Porrima also. Though not as easly as the 6" refractor did it. One thing I've learned since buying the CT152 is that no 10" SCT is going to produce the tiny pin point star images that a good 6" acromatic refractor can. When it comes to faint DSO's any good 10" will beat a 6" refractor because of its greater light gathering power. I hope this clears up any misunderstanding my review may have caused. Thanks for your interest.

My experience with A. Jaegers' 5-inch and 6-inch f/5 objectives (no longer available) is very similar to yours (except they used to cost far, far less)
In 1960s Jaegers' catalogue a 6" f/10 in a cell ran $175. .
If we take the date as 1965, it is roughly $1250. today. That is for the objective and cell only. So we are paying somewhere around half the price for these 6" f/5 Chinese objectives as a Jeagers 6" f/10 cost around 45 years ago.
I don't know if Jaegers made a 6" f/5 at the time, but a 5" f/5 objective in cell cost $97.50 in the 1960s. That is around $700. today.
Posted 23 January 2012 - 09:51 PM
What is the best way to attach the finder scope mount? Are there screw holes available on the focuser like the GSO focusers? The total deal will be over a grand counting the finder and diagonal. No doubt I'll have to pick up a good wide field 2" for it.
Posted 23 January 2012 - 10:42 PM
After reading Ed Tings, Warrens and Larry's reviews, I'm trying to somehow bring a CT152 home without my wife knowing. This is going to take some time to figure out and I may have to sell my Vixen 102 to do it. Believe it or not I don't think she will notice the difference in size between the two. I've done this a couple times in the past with motorcycles, I'm sure I can pull it off with a telescope.
You sir, are my new hero. All hail the god of marital harmoney. Seriously though, I am going to give this a try.
Back on topic, has anyone had a chance to compare this scope with one of the older Antares 6" Achros? Just wondering how the CA would compare. Anyone?

Alex Riley in NXT
It looks like Alex Riley isn't ready to depart WWE just yet. Amid rumors that he was seeking his release from the company after being abruptly dropped from the Royal Rumble match, he showed up at NXT and started a program with one of the developmental wrestlers. It is said that he should be down there for at least a couple of weeks to finish the feud. No word yet on whether or not management will put him back on the main roster.

Washington, DC (WUSA9) -- Live roaches crawling in the kitchen of one restaurant, a Caribbean carry out storing foods at the wrong temperature and a roller skating rink packed with kids when our Russ Ptacek visited that did not want to talk about mice droppings on their food.
Those emergency closings and others in WUSA9's Restaurant Alert for July 18, 2013.
MORE: Follow Investigative Reporter Russ Ptacek on Twitter or Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/russptacek).
Health inspectors temporarily closed Temple Hills Skate Palace at 3132 Branch Avenue in Temple Hills, Maryland; Kingsway Cafe at 13919 Baltimore Avenue in Laurel, Maryland; Pupuseria Maria at 3915 14th Street, NW, DC; Walgreens at 3130 Lee Highway in Arlington, Virginia; and, Union Jack's of Ballston at 4238 Wilson Boulevard in Arlington, VA.
Roller Skating Rink With Mouse Droppings On Pizza
Prince George's County Health Department shut down Temple Hills Skate Palace on Branch Avenue for a rodent infestation. The inspection report citing mouse droppings in the refrigerator, on pizza and on a box with pre-packaged sauce and juice.
When WUSA9 tried talking to the Temple Hills Skate Palace manager, she asked us to leave.
WUSA9 left the facility but a few minutes later, the manager followed WUSA9 outside and threatened to call the police if we did not leave the parking lot.
Caribbean Cafe Closed for Cold Food Storage Concerns
In Laurel, Maryland, inspectors closed Kingsway Café on Baltimore Avenue citing food at potentially dangerous temperatures.
Officials noted several food items being held at ambient temperature, for example beef patties and beef stew at 86 degrees instead of the maximum safe temperature of 41 degrees.
Kingsway Cafe was also cited for not keeping their walk-in cooler at a safe maximum of 41-degrees.
Kingsway's manager would not let our camera inside the kitchen but would let Russ Ptacek take a look.
The Café's thermometer was broken so Ptacek used his thermometer to measure the temperature inside the walk-in refrigerator at Kingsway Cafe.
WUSA9 found the refrigerator's temperature was 48 degrees, the same thing the health inspector found. The safe maximum temperature for storing cold foods is 41 degrees.
Drug Store With No Certified Food Safety Manager
In Arlington, Virginia, health inspectors cited Walgreens on Lee Highway for not staffing anyone certified in food safety.
But when WUSA9's Russ Ptacek visited, the store had a certified, card-carrying store manager on duty.
Roaches Crawling In Kitchen At DC Restaurant
DC Health Inspectors cited Pupuersia Maria on 14th Street, NW
for 16 violations, 13 of them critical, including roaches crawling in the kitchen, no one certified in food safety, and cold food stored at the wrong temperatures like chicken strips at 87 degrees, 46 degrees above the maximum safe temperature.
The worker we spoke with said we had bad information and her papers were different from the DC Department of Health Inspection Report that WUSA9 obtained.
The worker at Pupuseria Maria would not show us her paperwork and asked WUSA9 to leave.
Pub Closes Doors Forever
At Ballston Mall, inspectors closed Union Jack's for no certified food manager on duty and no hot water.
And when WUSA9 showed up, the restaurant's doors were chained shut.
Union Jack's Regional Manger, Matt Snee told WUSA9 that the Ballston Mall location closed but not because of the health violations but because it had already negotiated an out-time of July 1st with mall management.
Since we visited, Union Jack's at Ballston Mall remains closed.
All the other restaurants have passed re-inspection and are back in business.
