It's easy to assume that your app will run on a fast and reliable network. The reality for your app's users, though, is often a slow, unreliable network with spotty coverage. What happens when the network doesn't work, or when the device is in airplane mode? You get unhappy, frustrated users. An offline-first app is an app that works, without error, when there is no network connection.

Sort of a mix between 'The Front Page' and 'Backdraft', 'Night Alarm' focuses on a reporter trying to break away from the gardening desk, to scoop a story about a series of Fires happening around the city. He blames it all on the big industrialist in the town who's got the mayor and the police captain in his back pocket. Things get even more interesting when the cute girl they've hired to replace him in the gardening beat is actually the industrialist's daughter. As the plot unravels, and more fires ensue, you can just imagine how the movie ends, with the industrialist's daughter being caught in a fire! Someone has to rescue her! And that's exactly how it ends! Bruce Cabot is alright here, as the curiously named lead character, Hal Ashby. I mean, how priceless is that? I'm not sure if Mr. Ashby was doing movies at the time, but that's quite funny. Worth seeing for that alone.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
By the humble standards of the vintage "B" movie, this is really a wonderful piece of work with fluid direction from action specialist Spencer Gordon Bennett, plus an often amusing, often thrilling action-packed plot laced with clever dialogue and outstanding performances, particularly from principals Bruce Cabot, Judith Allen, H.B. Warner and Sam Hardy though even minor roles like the blustering mayor (Harry Holman) and the night club comedian (Fuzzy Knight doing his piano specialty act) are solidly cast. Actual fire footage cleverly cut into the movie by ace editor Dwight Caldwell is mighty hard to distinguish from the staged movie material and this is how it should be! Larry Darmour, the producer of the Mickey McGuire shorts, has outdone himself here with this absolutely first-rate "B" feature.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Newshound Hal reckons he's made for better things than the paper's gardening column, especially when his recommendation of arsenic for greenfly kills a reader's pet pooch. Whilst arguing with the editor to be put on the pyromaniac's page (a series of unexplained fires is rapidly reducing the city to ashes) the beautiful Helen (Judith Allen) comes in looking for a job. As she knows about gardening, she gets the column and Hal goes chasing fire engines - cue some impressive stock footage of American cities being incinerated. The fire chief hints that there is corruption in high places resulting in fire safety rules not being enforced. Not least, Henry Smith owns a paper factory, a bank with leases on all the city properties, and runs the businessmen's association which elects the mayor. This leads to a dinner party at Mr Smith's house for his daughter Helen, and the pompous young man he wants her to marry. She manages to escape, feigning a newsroom emergency, and goes out with Hal. The end up in a night club where she is wearing a full length, slinky gold lamé gown, most revealing cut away on the bust. The film is worth watching for the gown alone, though heaven knows how it got past the Hays Code. There is then a bizarre pause for a comedy pianist cabaret act. When Hal writes a piece implying that there is something rotten in the city and pointing the finger at Smith, Helen storms out and goes to work for her father. Hal meanwhile follows up on some leads he has previously been given, and unearths the arsonist, who has just set fire to the paper factory during the management's party for the staff. Helen gets caught in the inferno and is rescued by Hal: Happy Ending, with arsonist apprehended. Great if you like fire engines, burning buildings and revealing dresses.
Considering that it's produced by Majestic Pictures, I sure expected
this to be an awful little B-movie. However, to my surprise, I thought,
for a B, it was pretty watchable.
The film stars Bruce Cabot--a guy usually known as a supporting actor or a heavy. Here he plays a newspaper reporter who is sick of having to do a gardening column! He knows nothing about it and can't wait to start covering important stories--such as a recent spate of arsons. The plot is pretty cute at times and the finale involving the fire is amazing good owing to the fact that the usual budget for a Majestic film was $47! All in all, interesting and more than just a minor time-passer--much of this due to Cabot's excellent acting and presence. Worth seeing--particularly as it is downloadable for free from the IMDb link!

Borges Teaches
[Originally published May 6, 2008.]
Those who write of self-defense inevitably fail to celebrate the mysterious and the multiple. These scribes imagine safety to be a litany of banal proscriptions: do not go out alone in the evening, avoid eye contact with strangers, carry always in your mind an image of Shakespeare riding a lamed horse. Such writers commit a deplorable error, for to place one's hope for safety in changeless things is the fallacy of realism and the unspoken goal of pepper-spray manufacturers. Instead, one correctly perceives safety in the fabrication of new and undreamt paths, paths engendered by the laborious placement of one's feet somewhere in the world, in any world, of the many divergent and proliferating worlds in which one may be harassed or assaulted. From one's stance may spring any and all actions. To slouch or lean, then; to stand less than heroically—these things usurp the power of the omnipotent stance. Wearing high heels does not help, either. Flats are more stable and better for one's ankles.
Let us enumerate, then, the multiplicity of places where the human form is vulnerable: The eyes. The soft tissue of the throat. The nose and the glabrous upper lip. The fingers, astoundingly fragile and exposed. The groin. The absurd knee, notoriously false. The toes. Note also the curious paradox of these targets' coexistence with the myriad uncounted bodily weapons: The elbow. The fingernails. The front of the first two knuckles of the right hand. The heel of the foot. The arcing curve of the back of the skull. The base of the palm. The teeth, if one is not overly squeamish. The possible combinations of these weapons against the human frailties are numberless.
Now we shall role-play one or two.
Imagine that in the year 1934 you are returning from your friend Carolus Ernst's house, where you have been engaged in a fierce and discordant dispute concerning a corrupt translation of Herodotus from a Persian manuscript. Suddenly, near some undocumented alleyway, a tall, sharp-featured stranger with gray eyes approaches and seizes you by the left wrist. Time stops, revealing its irrefutable triviality. Expanding outward from this attack are illimitable, inexhaustible responses.
Here is a practical three-part strategy that I recommend: You will strike this attacker in the throat with the hardest weapon available to you. Perhaps it is an elbow. Perhaps it is an 1847 edition of The Encyclopedia of Celestial Navigation. Perhaps it is a small, strange bird of infinite plumage, or a monstrous iron implement once used to prod the sacred tortoise in the savage jungles of Uln. Perhaps it is all these things. It depends, ultimately, on your inclination and talents, and also on the size of the purse one carries. Decidedly, you must also raise an alarm. As you strike, you voice words of opprobrium; you issue a polemic against the imprisonment of wrists; you invent a language spoken only by those who struggle for the free movement of their left arm. One might say, for example, "No," or "Let go of me," or, conceivably, "Look at the moon, rising above the pyramids."
After striking, you will rotate your seized hand radially about the axis of your attacker's forearm, effecting the negation of his grip by virtue of the thumb's fallibility. The attacker, stunned by your articulation, and rendered breathless by the crushing of his larynx, steps back from you as if seeing 500 red-tinged angels descending an ebony staircase. Now run.
Very good. I reverently applaud your efforts.
Conceivably, one does not wish to strike the assailant. This may be due to an excess of compassion, or to impenetrable melancholy, or to obscure religious commitments. In the mirrors of possibility, many reactions are reflected. Other corridors of action extend, any one of which you may travel. You may choose, instead of fighting, to pray, to declare yourself invisible, to recite the 13 lamentations of Ramón Beckjord, to feign idiocy, to utter mystical predictions concerning nameless men in three anonymous cities. All responses are valid. It is a good idea to practice them at home when you can; this builds confidence.
I had planned to end our session today with a parable about a tiger and a nightingale, but I see we are out of time.

Title: Texas native wildflowers viable in Michigan
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:Can you tell me what wildflowers native to Texas would also thrive in Michigan?? I'd like to surprise a "transplant".
ANSWER:Well, poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) is native to both Michigan and Texas, but that's probably not the sort of plant you had in mind! You can do a search on the Native Plants Database using "Distribution" as your search criteria. If you input "Michigan", you will get a list of >2300 plants that are native to Michigan. For each of these plants the distribution for all states is listed so that you can pick out which ones are native to both Michigan and Texas. That's a lot of plants to sort through so I assume another criteria you have is that the plant is commercially available. I do have a few suggestions (not poison ivy) that would probably remind your friend of Texas and also be commercially available.
There are a couple of shrubs/small trees that are native to both Texas and Michigan that would say "Texas" to your friend. One is the Redbud (Cercis canadensis) which produces beautiful dark pink blooms in late February (In Texas). The other is Smooth sumac (Rhus glabra) which produces red berries and colorful leaves in the fall.
For herbaceous perennials you might consider:
1) Black-eyed Susan ()Rudbeckia hirta),
2) Red columbine (Aquilegia canadensis), and
3) Winecup (Callirhoe involucrata).
For a listing of Nurseries and Seed Companies that specialize in native plants, visit the National Suppliers Directory. For instance, if you search for "Seed Companies" in Michigan, you will find that Wildtype Design in Mason, Michigan has seeds for several of the plants listed above.

One day later, a look at how Jose Iglesias can avoid being replaced by a pinch-hitter
|09.17.12 at 8:19 pm ET
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Sunday afternoon might have been a first for some, but not Dave Magadan.
"I've seen it before, if you can believe that," said the Red Sox hitting coach.
What Magadan was referencing was the instance in the Red Sox' game against the Blue Jays in which manager Bobby Valentine chose to pinch-hit Daniel Nava for Jose Iglesias in the seventh inning '¦ with the count sitting at 2-2. The result of the move — which was implemented after Pedro Ciriaco got into scoring position with a steal of second — was a groundout to second base by Nava.
But while Magadan did remember another occasion of the move taking place, that other time was 19 years before, when then-Seattle manager Lou Piniella pinch-hit Rich Amaral for Mike Blowers after Blowers failed to get down two straight bunt attempts.
"I got there in the middle of the summer and the guys were still talking about it," remembered Magadan. "The funny thing was [Piniella] put a hit-and-run on and it worked."
But nostalgia aside, the real topic of conversation regarding the decision, prior to the Red Sox' series opener against the Rays, was how Iglesias would handle the situation. Valentine spoke with the rookie following the Sox' loss Sunday, with Magadan sitting down with the shortstop prior to Monday night's game.
"I think he'll be fine," Magadan said. "He's a confident kid. He knows he has a lot to learn. He said all the right things when he was asked about it. We'll make sure he's in a good frame of mind the next time he plays. We all believe in him."
Even with the steadied mindset, the incident offered a reminder of where Iglesias is at in regards to his progress as a major leaguer.
The 22-year-old entered Monday night just 2-for-28, having come off a Triple-A season in which he hit .266 with a .318 on-base percentage and .624 OPS. Iglesias had seemingly turned a corner heading through August with Pawtucket, but upon joining the Red Sox on Aug. 25 his plate appearances became sporadic, as did his production.
According to Magadan, the problem regarding Iglesias' offense isn't a mystery — he needs more time.
"A lot of what I saw when I saw him in spring training and last year when he was up a little bit, with him it's hard to even get into the mechanics of his swing because for me it begins and ends with pitch selection," the hitting coach said. "He needs to work on the recognition of pitches, and not only fastball to curveball, fastball to slider, but it's fastball strike, fastball, ball. I think that's just going to come with experience. He needs to play. He needs the experience of the at-bats and the grinding of the at-bat. The rhythm of the at-bat. He's never played more than 100 or so games. He's probably only got all told about two years of at-bats. For a kid who didn't have a lot of experience when he was younger and came over I think the big thing is to get those at-bat experiences.
"We can go in the cage and we can work until we're blue in the face and we can take batting practice, and mechanically he's OK. He just has to understand whether to swing at this pitch, whether not to swing at this pitch, what am I looking for, am I recognizing what I'm looking for. Those are all things you gain that edge after having a lot of at-bats under your belt."
Between the minors and majors, Iglesias has totaled 1,115 plate appearances as a professional, or — as Magadan pointed out — the equivalent of roughly two full big league seasons.
According to the infielder, even after the drama surrounding his exit from Sunday's game, he understands the reality of his situation.
"No doubt, I was surprised. I was ready to hit," he said of being replaced by Nava. "I was feeling pretty good at the time at the plate, especially yesterday. [Valentine] made that decision and I respected it. '¦ He just told me he thought it was a good idea for the team and I respect that. I think it's going to be alright."

The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of Conservatives is to prevent mistakes from being corrected. Even when the revolutionist might himself repent of his revolution, the traditionalist is already defending it as part of his tradition. Thus we have two great types — the advanced person who rushes us into ruin, and the retrospective person who admires the ruins. He admires them especially by moonlight, not to say moonshine. Each new blunder of the progressive or prig becomes instantly a legend of immemorial antiquity for the snob. This is called the balance, or mutual check, in our Constitution. - G.K. Chesterson

Narendra Modi to address BJP workers meeting in Bhopal on September 25
Bhopal: Seeking to clear the air following a reported statement by Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, state BJP on Monday said Narendra Modi was the "most popular leader" of the country and would be addressing a conclave of party workers here on September 25.
"Modiji will be arriving here on September 25 to take part in Karyakarta Mahakumbh," said state unit BJP president Narendra Singh Tomar.
He was speaking to reporters after a BJP meeting was inaugurated by the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj earlier in the day.
Tomar said the September 25 conclave will be held to mark the birth anniversary of Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya, one of the prominent leaders of Bharatiya Jana Sangh, the forerunner of the present day Bharatiya Janata Party.
To a query on reports that Chouhan had suggested that the announcement anointing Gujarat Chief Minister Modi as BJP`s prime ministerial nominee be put off till Assembly elections due in five state are over, Tomar said, "There`s no question of Madhya Pradesh BJP avoiding Modi. He is the most popular leader of the country".
He said Chouhan had already clarified his position on the issue.
"Any decision on the issue of declaring Modi as prime ministerial candidate will be taken by BJP`s Parliamentary Board and whatever the decision it will be acceptable to all," Tomar said.
When asked if Modi`s official anointment for the top job would have any bearing on BJP going to polls later this year in Madhya Pradesh, Tomar quipped, "People will come to know the difference when it (the decision on Modi) will be taken".

Open Source Okavango14: The Heartbeat of the Delta
We can hear this heartbeat by listening to what the environment tells us through sensors and testing. I proposed that we build low cost sensors using open source hardware and software. In recent years there has been quite a disruption in computing ability as a result of the prevalence of smartphones. Increasingly small and powerful components and processors have created an opportunities that we would have never thought possible. One of the results of that is the single-board Raspberry Pi computer. Originally, the Raspberry Pi was created to enable students to learn hardware and software development. For the Okavango Wilderness Project, we are using them to take environmental readings and send those to us for inclusion into the Into The Okavango website. Jer will cover this more in his expedition post. We are using them to measure water temperature, pH, conductivity, total dissolved solids, salinity, and specific gravity.

Peppermint 7 Released
Peppermint 7 launched a few days ago. Peppermint is a lightweight Ubuntu-based Linux distribution with an emphasis on speed and simplicity. Although the name is similar to Linux Mint, the projects aren't directly related. Peppermint originally was envisioned as a "spicier" alternative to Mint—whatever that means! Many distros come with a wide assortment of feature-rich applications, and that's great for power users who need those apps. But older machines can struggle to cope with those demanding distros. Peppermint solves the problem by offering a carefully curated suite of web apps that perform tasks traditionally handled by native apps. It's an approach that will be familiar to any Chromebook users reading this article.

As Pheasants Disappear, Hunters in Iowa Follow
Mike Wilson glared dejectedly through the mist on his silver-frame glasses at the soggy field of tall, dense brush, tilting the barrel of his 12-gauge shotgun toward the gray clouds.
"All I want to do," he said, "is see a bird at this point."
More than two hours into this pheasant hunt, the colorful rooster that one of Mr. Wilson's hunting partners had shot that morning was now a distant memory. Only one other pheasant had graced the skies since, and it was too far off to even try a shot.
The pheasant, once king of Iowa's nearly half-a-billion-dollar hunting industry, is vanishing from the state. Surveys show that the population in 2012 was the second lowest on record, 81 percent below the average over the past four decades.

It occurred to me, as I'm sure it's occurred to most of you, that driving a car is a classic example of the IoT in action. In this case, my brain is the CPU, and all of my car's gauges are the things.
I was making a routine 30-minute drive to raid a local vegetable stand. As I processed all the information coming in, I realized there were several dimensions to it. The same principle is at work with IoT projects, no matter what their scale.
One of the classic charts/concepts widely used in information management is determining urgency vs. importance. Urgent & important things are represented in the upper-right quadrant of a square, urgent but not important in the lower right, important but not urgent in the upper left, and that phone call from your old college friend asking for money in the not urgent and not important lower left.
Riding Along in My Automobile
In my car, my speedometer sends me a reading that is urgent and important. My gas gauge reading is not urgent but important, and becomes urgent and important once I start running low. My gearshift is important but not urgent.
My car has a tachometer but also an automatic transmission, so the tach reading is not urgent and not important. I can go down through the checklist of everything from the odometer, water temp, battery, and oil pressure, to the heating/AC settings, the radio; to the stream of other info and alerts kept by the car's computer.
It's Not That Simple
But this simple classification misses a lot of important stuff. For one thing, as I note above, much of the information changes its nature depending on conditions. Not only am I in trouble if I run out of gas, I'm in big trouble if any of the water, battery, or oil gauges changes. They seldom do, but if they do, they become red-flag urgent and important.
So an IoT monitoring & analytical architecture must take into account the changing, sometimes fluid nature of the dataflows.
Many Dimensions
It must also take into account frequency, consequences, remedies, and cost. Returning to the gas gauge, I need to look at it infrequently, the consequence is embarrassing but usually not life threatening, the remedy is generally easy, and the cost is not high. The speedometer, on the other hand, must be monitored in real time, whether I ignore it or not.
Should the engine throw a belt and cut my power while driving at night, the consequence is more severe, the remedy more difficult, and the cost higher. Should I ignore a low oil pressure warning, then I'm potentially getting into a dangerous, difficult, very costly situation.
I've had air conditioning systems conk out on me, something for which there is neither a gauge nor an alert. This problem is not urgent or important (as uncomfortable as driving without AC in the heat can be), has little consequence (unless you need to drive people somewhere who may be less tolerant of the heat than you), but can be very difficult and expensive to fix.
I've also had wheels fall of my car--twice. The first time was when I was 19 years old, driving a decrepit used car, and speeding down the road in the manner of many teenagers who think they're going to live forever. I missed slamming into a bridge by inches, but ended up merely on the side of the road with nobody hurt. I also slowed my driving down forever.
The second time I was going 5 miles per hour, and thought I had a flat tire. Even at this slow speed, the incident could have had very bad consequences. Losing control of the car is a terrifying thing. This car was not particularly old, but had these supremely annoying aluminum wheels that raise all sorts of Cain with tires and linkages. Again, no gauge here to help me out, but both times I was put in a potentially fatal situation.
"Gaugeless IoT"
The "gaugeless IoT" of AC & wheel failures exists in many other aspects of driving my car. For example, even though a thermometer courteously tells me how hot or cold it is outside--something I had already nailed down as I was walking out to my car--it doesn't have an anemometer. I have to know and gauge the effect of wind myself. It doesn't let me know about traffic jams ahead, flooding, or perhaps a tornado coming my way. It doesn't warn me of kids on bicycles or dogs or deer darting out in front of me, or big trucks suddenly crowding me. It doesn't predict any of the other thousands of examples of atrocious driving I've encountered with my fellow Americans.
But wait a minute, that's why I have eyes and ears. And memory, my own organic expert system.
So, So Early
This brings me to my overall point: Even as the IoT will generate trillions of dollars within the global economy very soon, we're still in the very early days. I'm tempted to say that we're only now in Act I of the Information Age. All previous progress has been mere prologue.
There's been a golden quest for decades to smarten computers up by attaching sensors to them. Sure, our wondrous machines have been able to crunch numbers better than us forever, and can perform all manner of brute-force tasks. Today they can even play a nice song or movie at a very high quality.
But the IoT will bring sensory to our systems in a big way for the first time. They will need to measure all the new incoming data in several dimensions, with built-in decision points that assess remedies and consequences. Even so, it will be decades before IoT applications can "see" and "hear" with anywhere near the ability of people. As always, let's not get too arrogant about the power of our machines, and remember that human beings are sometimes the weak link but sometimes the salvation of the systems we build.

In his general session at 18th Cloud Expo, Lee Atchison, Principal Cloud Architect and Advocate at New Relic, discussed cloud as a 'better data center' and how it adds new capacity (faster) and improves application availability (redundancy). The cloud is a 'Dynamic Tool for Dynamic Apps' and resource allocation is an integral part of your application architecture, so use only the resources you need and allocate /de-allocate resources on the fly.

Your first two weeks anywhere new leave you longing for familiar territory — familiar sights, sounds, smells, and like-minded folks. Needless to say, relocating from southwestern Ohio to the beautiful city of Seward left me a little more than homesick after 32 years — even just two weeks into it. That all came to an end, though, on June 21st, after a chance encounter with Tyson Davis at local watering hole the Seward Alehouse.

Dynamic insight into millennial generation
Energetic, explosive narrative
Relevant offers
Yo Future investigates the fears and fascinations of the millennial generation - those born after 1984.
REVIEW: Told I was going to review a frantic mix of play, dance, music and theatre all in one, I had my own fears.
I've never reviewed theatre in any form before, let alone a piece/performance that describes itself as a radical hybrid of contemporary clowning and choral choreography. And I am at least a generation too late to be millennial.
However, throughout the 50-minute dynamic performance, I and of the rest of the packed Repertory House crowd born well before 1984 get a glimpse into the fears and fascinations of people much of society holds to stereotypes. While those in the crowd wearing skivvies and scarfs got an insight into another world, those wearing hoodies and T-shirts over long-sleeved shirts shared a common experience.
In an energetic and at times explosive narrative, 14 young Southland performers bring to life, through movement, music and sparse dialogue, their concerns, inter-generational tension and question what the future holds.
Pretty young things turn their noses up at less brightly shining stars, gangs hang tough on more delicate flowers and save-the-world passive soldiers turn to arms to spread their message.
It's a generation where the mobile phone, Snapchat and Facebook rule the world. Scenes merge into each other, some drawing laughs, some jarring the audience back into their seats but all driving to discover what the future holds. Is it a brighter future? Well, buy a ticket to the show, take a spin in the silver cow and discover for yourself.
Award-wining director Jo Randerson and her performers may be highlighting the fears and fascinations of the millennial generation but many of those fears and fascinations manifest themselves in all generations. The older ones just don't take selfies of them.

SPC Special Project Team
As you may know, the Session has requested the creation of a committee purely charged with the task of being creative. This committee will not be chaired by a member of Session, but will have Pastor Craig and Elder Chris Nelson present for questions and clarifications when needed. The desired results from this short term group is purely a source for ideas from which the Session will choose new directions for the growth and improved health of our congregation.
I can tell you I have never had this kind of opportunity before to simply brain storm and truly realize no idea is a bad idea with no overwhelming burden that the schemers will al-so be the only ones to carry out the new idea. It is the desire of the Session to have a list of creative ideas, both new and reworked current programs, presented at the Session meeting August 22.
Do you have ideas for improving current programs or brand new things our church has never tried all for the purpose of strengthening our congregation, growing our congregation, and hopefully increasing our financial situation? Of course you do! Now call me or email me with your idea or better yet call or email me with you willingness to serve on this special project team. Meeting times and dates will be established once we have our first meeting Sunday morning July 10 at 9:00am in the church parlor.
Please hear your call to help our church become even stronger in our presence in the community, growth in numbers of members and participants, and rebuilding of our financial base for all that we do for the Kingdom of God.
In Ministry Together,
– Pastor Craig
Whether you're looking for a new church or simply looking to expand your horizons, we invite you to come see for yourself. Join us this Sunday to learn more about Shawnee Presbyterian and to meet the wonderful, vibrant people that make up our church community.

The National Incident Commander for the BP oil spill, Admiral Thad Allen, approved the implementation of a section of Louisiana's barrier island project proposal that could help stop oil from coming ashore and where work could be completed the fastest—as an integrated part of the federal response to the BP oil spill.
This step will save Louisiana the cost of construction for this section by integrating it with the federal government's ongoing oil spill response—thus paving the road for payment by BP, as a responsible party, or the federal Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund.
It will also allow assessment of the effectiveness and environmental impacts of this strategy in one of the areas most at risk of long-term impact by BP's leaking oil.
"We are relentlessly working to secure the spill at source and attack the oil being released using every safe and reasonable technique available," said Allen. "Implementing this section of the proposal will allow us to assess this strategy's effectiveness in protecting coastal communities and habitats of the Gulf region as quickly as possible. We will not be satisfied until the spill is stopped, the oil is removed, the communities are safe, and their way of life restored."
The Army Corps of Engineers has granted partial approval for Louisiana's barrier island project proposal, covering approximately half of the state's original request and including six sections.
Under this permit, but without coordination with Admiral Allen and the Unified Command, Louisiana is authorized to construct the barrier islands at its own expense, so long as construction meets the terms and conditions established by the Army Corps of Engineers and any other required permits are obtained. If Louisiana moves forward, they will need to address all potential costs and environmental impacts.
Admiral Allen's recommendation would integrate a section of the project with the federal oil spill response—and therefore potential funding by BP, as a responsible party, or the federal Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund.
Based on feedback from the Interagency Solutions Working Group established under the NIC and comprised of subject matter experts from the National response Team and other federal agencies, Admiral Allen determined that his recommendation best strikes a balance between three major considerations:
• The imperative to protect vulnerable Louisiana coastlines;
• The need for any construction to contribute effectively to the overall response effort, which includes numerous on- and off-shore activities; and
• The extensive time needed to implement such a strategy.
If the evaluation of the recommended section's effectiveness and environmental impact show a net environmental benefit, additional areas may be considered by the National Incident Commander as part of the oil spill response moving forward.
Louisiana's original proposal called for the dredging of more than 92 million cubic yards of material over a six to nine month period to build temporary barrier islands. The NIC Working Group found that implementation of the proposal in all areas approved by the Army Corps of Engineers, in the midst of an active spill, would not be prudent or provide effective protection—especially considering the complications of a major construction project occurring in the midst of a response encompassing more than 20,000 personnel and 1,300 vessels.
Since the first moments of the Deepwater BP Oil Spill, the federal government has continuously anticipated and planned for a worst case scenario, and Admiral Allen has led and coordinated an ongoing, all-hands-on-deck response to mitigate the spill, for which BP is responsible and required to pay response and cleanup costs.
