John Carona had 2005 prequel to the Michael Morton Act
The discovery bill now named the Michael Morton Act is progressing through the lawmaking mill with lots of emotion and excruciating effort by lobbying teams.
The push to tame prosecutorial misconduct is hot this session, and Morton's high-profile exoneration and decision to take up the cause are big reasons why.
It surprised me, then, when a criminal justice activist mentioned the other day that Dallas' Sen. John Carona, a Republican — with Royce West , a Democrat, as co-author — had pushed for discovery reform several years ago. It turned out to be year 2005, with Carona's SB 560, and I watched the recording of him laying out that bill and witness testimony from April 6 of that year.
What a low-key moment it was. There was no Michael Morton, no parade of recent exonerees like we see now in the Capitol. There didn't seem to have been the behind-the-scenes wrangling that produced the Morton bill. Arguing for the 2005 bill, Carona plainly invoked the idea of common sense.
Carona said the law needed to be changed because a defense attorney in one county could "get everything" from a prosecutor's file but in another county would "get nothing." Carona said some counties required the defense to hand-copy the contents of a report, which is a big waste of time and money — especially when counsel is court-appointed.
There were only three understated witnesses for Carona's legislation — Keith Hampton from the Texas Criminal Defense Attorneys Association and representatives from Texas Appleseed and the Texas Defenders Service.
Hampton said defense attorneys got good cooperation in places — like email delivery of files from Tarrant County and others — but just the opposite elsewhere. Williamson County was elsewhere. He said getting files from prosecutors there was like asking for "state secrets." There was snickering in the background, since most lawmakers on the Senate Criminal Justice Committee knew that former hard-ass Williamson DA John Bradley set the tone there. How interesting that is to see now, since it was Bradley who fought long and hard against Morton getting the DNA testing that would free him. Bradley lost his re-election bid last year for that position.
Anyway, only one prosecutor testified on Carona's bill, and he had only a point or two. One, he wondered why the prosecution couldn't get reciprocal file-sharing from the defense.
Hampton was called back to the witness table to address reciprocal sharing, and he said — twice — "I really don't have a problem with that." The big goal in discovery reform, Hampton said, was getting files early enough to make sense of them before trial. Reciprocal? No prob.
I'm perplexed. Why is the defense bar singing a different tune today? The Texas Tribune had a piece a few weeks ago about the defense bar pitching a fit about reciprocal, and Hampton was quoted in it: "We have numerous problems in the justice system. … Discovery is no longer it."
So that means prosecutors have all come around and are nice guys today? Is that what caused the defense bar to refuse to agree to the reciprocal idea, which caused them to end up with less from prosecutors in the bill? If you compare the original SB 1611 and the CSSB 1611, you'll see that the defense lost a considerable list of things, like information the prosecution had to impeach alibi witnesses, "any affidavit, warrant, or return pertaining to a search or seizure," detail on any plea agreement or immunity offer the prosecution was making in return for testimony. And on and on.
The defense lost that in return for keeping its own files shut. Was it worth it? Maybe in Tarrant County it's easy enough to get every card the state is holding, and maybe the top defense attorneys know what to ask for and how to get it. But how about an overworked public defender in the middle of nowhere who needs every break possible against a butt-head prosecutor? Did that lawyer gain or lose in the latest version of the bill?
Still, Morton thinks the reform would be a big step forward, Sens. Ellis and Duncan do too, so it's on to the Senate floor. Some negotiators are surprised and relieved they've gotten this much this far, and I wish them luck.
By the way, Carona's bill passed the Senate in 2005 but was left pending in a House commitee after testimony.
Maybe things would have turned out differently with a bit more emotion and fanfare. It problem didn't seem an urgent matter back then, not like it does with human faces on the problem today.
That human face might make things turn out differently today. It's a hard vote to cast against a bill with Michael Morton's name on it.

Image Description
I decided to bring to conclusion this work of Allan Kardec began before the summer holidays. The subject was modeled using Zbrush, and rendered in 3dsmax ... with Mentalray. The character in question is Allan Kardec, before I\'d like to offer a small historical explanation of why the choice of that subject. Born in Lyon, France, in 1803 and disembodied in Paris on 31 March 1861. University Teacher Education, physiology, chemistry, astronomy, in about 1850, using various mediums (Serious) spread around the world, to question the spirits, he noted with scrupulous scientific rigor and ordered the data obtained by codifying in 4 main books (The book of mediums, the book of spirits and the gospel according to the spirits\' volume 1 and 2 \") information offered by the messengers of the spiritual worlds, (spirits higher education in charge of the human race the earth).

©2008 Julian Fellowes; (P)2009 BBC Audio
"Modern Great Gatsby"
I loved this book! Julian Fellowes writes beautifully and Richard Morant has the perfect voice as the long-suffering friend of all the debutantes and the quietly bemused observer of British social history. Fellowes uses a small group of debutantes from the 1960's to demonstrate the huge changes to the British social structure from the last half of the 20th century to the present. But this is not "Sex and the City Goes to England", although it is just as lively and topical in references. I was struck by how much it mirrors The Great Gatsby in theme and characters. This book is every bit as good as that old war horse.
As an ex-video clerk from Sacramento, CA I have no personal experience with British Aristocracy but there's something about authenticity, you can smell it like a ripe peach, and Julian Fellowes writing has all that.
Narrative makes the world go round.
"strangely absorbing"
This consists of the reflections of a self-absorbed narrator on a quest on behalf of a self-absorbed dying contemporary whom he dislikes. The chappy holds rather improbable confessional conversations with those he encounters along the way, former aristocratic Brit debutantes of the late 60s. His reflections chronicle the fate of the old ruling classes and the rise of the new in Britain, all while he questions what holds life together for the comfortable classes in the postmodern world.
The story is amusing (though not in the laugh out loud mode) and works as a mystery but could have used one more edit. The audio narration is neat and dry which suits the novel's narrator. The social history detail is interesting, though be prepared for too much detail on furniture and dress.
Strangely the whole came together as a very absorbing listen for me - kind of the talented Mr Ripley reminiscences Gosford Park minus the murders.
"Read Snobs instead"
I loved Snobs and immediately downloaded Past Imperfect. I have to say I was very disappointed. The idea is good, but poorly executed, making the stories of all the characters seem way too disconnected.
Julian Fellowes, who makes his point about the British Upper Class so masterfully in Snobs, sounds more like a lecturer here. Instead of letting us "see," he tells us what he knows (and goes on and on about each point, interrupting the storyline constantly). It sounded more like an anthropological treatise than a novel. At times, it was even boring.
Yes, there is one scene towards the end that is incredibly well written and moving because of it -- but I wish there had been more like it.
That said, I would definitely give Mr. Fellowes another chance if he were to write another novel -- simply based on Snobs and Downton Abbey (which I had not seen until after I listened to these two books and to which I am absolutely addicted to now).
Richard Morant is absolutely perfect as the narrator. I think I could listen to him read the London phone book and be engrossed.
"Really good plot...but got lost.."
The story idea sounded great. The style of writing with wordy descriptions painted a clear picture, which was good in the beginning, but then...well I kept falling asleep listening to it. The parts where things actually happen are good, but the description in between the actual story line is coma-inducing. Get on with the story already!!
"Past Imperfect"
It's a fun commentary on English society. Great "types." The reader's voice and accent add to the reading; mispronunciations are at a minimum.
Worth the listen.
"The sleeper that woke up quickly"
For the first 20 minutes I thought I hated the book and the narrator. Thereafter, I could not turn it off. I'm generally not into this genre but this book/narrator combination is one of the best, if not the best, in its niche.
"2.5 stars - Not nearly as good as Snobs"
I wanted to like this book and since I liked Snobs, I didn't want to write a poor review but listener reviews are too important to me to let this go. there are many reasons why I didn't like this book too much, but not much to do with the narrator - at 1st thought he was too monotone but really it was due to the book. This is a first person acct of a young mans life in the midst of the English upper class & families of some dukes and lords, particularly as it relates to one important event in a circle of firends that affects many of their lives. The main character is recounting events of a coming-out season that happened nearly forty years ago in 1968. And he continually makes comments about those events or what they did, as being hard to believe by today's standards, but they actually did do them back then! This is unnecessary and intrusive to the story. Certainly any reader who has ever read any fiction that is not set in the here and now understands that things were different in a different time and place. We know fashions, dances and music was different then.
Secondly, the author seems to step into the narrative to state a few deeply felt problems with todays culture. Maybe it was meant to be the feelings of the main character, but it didn't feel that way.
The first half of the book deserves no more than 2 stars, in my opinion and second half was better - 3 stars, so 2.5 average, but I gave it 2 because I really couldn't recommend this audiobook to anyone. I will say that what was good (I felt) was probably an authentic look at a comming-out season in the 60s and what typically became of some of those people today. In the second half of the book, I begain to care for the characters and did want to know about the outcome of the story.
"Post WWII England"
After engaging in a Masterpiece Theatre television series spree, I was still thirsting for more British entertainment. This novel sated my desire.
It takes place in post WWII England when the landed gentry were trying to practice their traditions despite the tumultuous social upheaval of the 60's breaking out around them. It's the story of a group of mostly upper class British students walking through the same white tie social events their parents enjoyed a generation earlier. One of the crowd, now elderly and dying of cancer, asks the help of the narrator, an estranged friend, in searching for a heir to his vast fortune. Like the plot of Citizen Kane, this narrator revisits the members of the group to fill in the blanks of their varied lives.
The dying man's controversial role in the group in their youth colors most of the interviews. We hear references to an awful humiliation committed by the wealthy dying man against our narrator. Appropriately, it is not until the end of the book that we find out the truth about the unknown existence of the heir and the truth about the awful night reference throughout the novel.
Without giving it away, I was amused by the actual event that had caused such rifts and controversies amidst this group. Compared to what we witness on reality tv, it was minor. Regardless, I felt quite sympathetic toward the narrator, as he went through the transition from middle to old age maneuvering through modern living by way of his anachronistic upbringing.
It was very enjoyable if tame. The recording itself was varied in its quality to the point where I wasn't always sure it was the same narrator, but those inconsistencies weren't too distracting.
"A snore...zzzzz!!! Use instead of a sleeping pill"
Boring, boring boring!! Way too much description & history instead of getting on with the story. I simply gave up listening after 3 hours. If you must read this, upped for the abridged version.

Fatigue with Knee/Joint Pain
Howdy. Recently started running (again) and last week developed some knee pain that will not go away (funny how you can't simply ignore that stuff until it abates). A little background, seeing as I'm a newb in these parts:
Ran cross country in high school, back in the early to mid- nineties. Have run on and off ever since, but this year I decided to really get back into it and run some road races: mostly going to be 5K's with possibly a 5 miler or 10K toward the end of the season. Started as soon as the snow banks were off the edges of the roads (I'm in New Hampshire), first of April, and was going very well. Breathing was good, pace was great, but my hip, at that time, was bothering me (I seriously hurt my hip-joint several years ago, and although I had run since that time with no adverse affects, this time was different). Long story short, a chiropractor fixed me up to the point that I went form a non-believer to an adament follower. As the hip healed, and my runs got more productive, I proceded to run my first 5K, Sunday May 1st, to the tune of 22:27 (a full minute and a half faster than what I was hoping for, considering I hadn't run a race in 10 years). Needless to say, I felt great, was happy with the run, and everything was proceding according to plan. I took that Monday off to rest, and ran a 5 mile on Tuesday (I had all ready run that particular route a couple of times prior), but was not any where near where I had been the previous week. In fact, my legs felt as if they were concrete, and I just could not get loose. The next day I ran a shorter 3.4, but all hills - my challenging route. I felt the same way as I had the day prior, although I did start to loosen up at the end of my run, about the last 3/4 mile, where a damn steep hill begins. I felt great at the end of the run, but that is the first day that my knee started to hurt, which is on the opposite side of the hip that I had hurt. I ran the 5 again the next day, and then the 3.4 again the day after that. I felt good only at the end of the 3.4 of that Friday, again when I got to the hill. Well, my hip was twinging a little, so I went to the chiropractor again that night, and decided to take the entire weekend off to rest the knee. But that didn't work. The weekend turned into 3 days due to work, and when I ran last night, I still could not get loose, my legs were again heavy, and my knee began to ache even more than it had the prior week. Instead of relying upon stretching and a hot shower, I decided to try to ice it, which felt great... Until this morning. The knee ached like crazy most of the day, along with my opposite ankle, which I just thought was damn odd. Against my will, I ended up taking today off, as well. Yesterday was also the first run on new sneaks, New Balance's 729s (if I remember correctly).
The knee actually hurts to the touch on the inside of the shin bone, but below the knee cap. The ache comes from the same area. (Sorry, I am not very well versed in anatomy. Well, of the knee, any how.) It doesn't appear to be a muscle, as it feels as if it is on the bone itself, which leads me (and my limited knee anatomy knowledge) to believe it has something to do with a tendon. And it doesn't hurt so much as I run, although it locks up pretty tight after I stop, even as I'm on my cool-down walk: I started doing a brisk warm-up and cool-down walk of about 5 mintues each to try to help out in conjunction with my stretching, which I do, and have always done, pre- and post- run. I have never had knee problems before, other than minor ahces and pains, just the typical stuff that comes with a workout. I should also mention that I awoke last Tuesday with a sore throat, which I fought all week until it really got at me on Sunday, then proceded to travel into my lungs and sinuses. I've never had allergies before, but I am almost 34 now, so who knows? I'm pretty sure its actually a cold, though. I'm also pretty sure that is where the fatigue is coming from, but the knee thing is actually starting to worry me. I'm not going to head to the doc's for an emergency visit, though, and that means that obstinate-ol'-me will try to run through it as much as possible until I can get in for a normal check-up. In other words, I'm hoping that someone may see something familiar and be able to give me some advice as to what to do, and hopefully that still entails running.
Thank you in advance for any help that anyone may be able to provide.

Skill Level Intermediate
So far, we've managed to build a nice live search feature that uses AJAX to search through a JSON data file, but the UI could look a little bit better. So in this video I'm going to show you how to style this application with CSS. Now, I've got the set up in Espresso and this little comment right here essentially ties my live preview with this window. So as I make a change right here, it will update automatically. If you don't have Espresso, you don't really need to type that in, but it's just the way that I have things set up, so that as I type the CSS, you're going to be able to see the changes on the right-hand side. So let's get started with some basic CSS.
So first, I'm going to start working on the searcharea, and I'm going to go ahead and center that by setting the margin equal to 0 and auto. I'll text-align this to the center so that the text inside will also be centered, and I'll set up a background color here, and I'll set up a padding of 10 pixels. Plus I'll set up the width to be 30% of the page. That way this is going to be responsive and kind of grow with this page.
I'm going to add a bit of a border-radius here, and that will just make my edges round, so I'll use -webkit-border- radius and I'll do 10 pixels. That will take care of Safari and Chrome. And then I'll do -moz-border-radius 10 pixels for Firefox, and then I'll just use the regular rule, which is just border-radius of 10 pixels. I want to make the border just be on the top, left, and right of this box, so I'll modify this -webkit-border- radius to have some different values.
So let's style the label. We're giving it some font attributes here. I'll go ahead and make the text- transform be uppercase, so that it displays that text as uppercase always, and I'll add a little bit of padding at the bottom of 5 pixels, just a little bit of breathing room. And I'll set the color to a little bit of a red tint. So now let me do the same thing with the paragraph.
I'll grab this and I'll just copy it here, and instead of label, I'm going to target the paragraph. The margin is going to be nothing. Gets rid of all the spacing on the top and bottom. And then I'll do a line-height of 1 em and a padding at the bottom of 5 pixels. Again, just putting in a little more breathing room this time. This looks probably a little bit better when it's wider. So now, let's modify the input field. Once again, searcharea. And I'm going to set the width to be 80% of the size of the window, again, making it responsive. And I'll text-align this to the center.
So now this little box is actually going to grow as I change the size of the window. Excellent! So now we need to change the style for the content, which is under the update id. So we'll start with some basic code to change that. I'll do a font-family, and I'm going to use Georgia and as a backup, Times new Roman. And I'll set the width of that to be 70% of the browser window, and I'm going to center it horizontally, so margin will be 0 and auto.
And I want to put a border on the top, and I'll make that border dotted. And my border color is going to be CCC. That's just a little gray line at the top of the update div. So let's go ahead and change the unordered list. Right now my lists have bullets in them, so I'll do update unordered list. I'll get rid of the bullets with list-style none, and I'm going to change the margin and the padding to 0.
That gets rid of a little bit of space that happens with unordered lists. So now I'll do update ul li, and I'll set the width of this to be 100% of the container. And I'll do a little bit of padding so that it has a little bit of breathing room to each side. I'll set up a background color here. You can actually see the padding better with the background color. So there's without padding, and there's with padding. I'll do a little bit of padding at the bottom, 10 pixels.
You can't really see it, but that just gives you a little more breathing room between some of the list items. And I'm going to set the height, because they're a little big, to be 110 pixels. And now that looks kind of weird, so I need to make sure that I do the overflow element here and I set it to be hidden. That hides everything that's bigger than 110 pixels. And we'll do also a little border at the bottom, so that we kind of visually tell the user that there is going to be more information underneath this little border that we placed.
All right, so when users hover over the list item elements and when I have a style that kind of expands what I've done, so my background is going to change, the background color. I'll set the height to 250 pixels. That's going to show more of the content behind. So if somebody hovers over one of these elements, it kind of expands this to be bigger right now. It's still sort of funky, but it will work really well when we have the rest of the code in.
Let's do the update h2 tags. And I'll do margin. I'll just clear out the margin and padding and then set up a font-size, a little bit of padding at the top and bottom, and we'll change the font here. Now, we'll change the color, kind of a little bit of a red, sort of maybe a coral color, and we'll add a border and a little bit of the margin to give the border a little bit of room right here.
So now I'm going to do the image. I'll float the image to the left. That way the text will show to the right of the image. And I'm going to set up the width of the image to just be 80 pixels so that it's not so gargantuan. I'll add a little bit of margin to the right, 10 pixels, just to give it a little bit of breathing room from the photo, and I'm going to make the photos have a round edge, so I'm going to type in -webkit-border-radius, 10 pixels, and I'll do the same thing for Mozilla browsers, and for just the regular version CSS.
So let me save that, and that's looking pretty cool, and it's mostly accomplishing what we need here. You can see that this looks really good, especially when it expands. So our application is looking pretty good, and this would probably be good enough for most projects. However, in the next movie, I'm going to show you how to use some CSS3 animations to improve this app.

Firms Releases Imagery of Area 51
On 17 April 2000 Aerial Images posted on its Web site 2-meter imagery of Area 51 acquired by Russia's Space Information KVR-1000 satellite system. The Area 51 images were acquired as part of the company's deal with Sovinformsputnik, a commercial arm of the Russian Aviation and Space Agency. FAS ordered an IKONOS 1-meter resolution image of Area-51 in mid-February 2000. As of early April 2000 SpaceImaging stated that the request remained "in collection" and had offered a variety of explanations as to why it has taken over two months not to collect imagery. On 18 April 2000, SpaceImaging released the requested image, which had been acquired on 02 April 2000.
News Coverage
"Private eyes in the sky," The Economist May 06, 2000 - Pike obtained the first one-metre images of Groom Lake, better known as Area 51, the most secret military complex in America. "The secret's out," New Scientist 06 May 2000 -- Federation of American Scientists' believe that the continuing speculation about the use of Area 51 illustrates everything that is harmful and ridiculous about post-Cold War government secrecy. "Groom Lake Base Revealed In Sharp, New Satellite Images," MICHAEL A. DORNHEIM Aviation Week & Space Technology May 1, 2000 - Space Imaging made its 1-meter photo available a few days later (see p. 61). It was taken by the Ikonos satellite much more recently, on Apr. 2, two months after it was requested by the Federation of American Scientists in February. "Area 51 photos show satellite imaging market heating up," By MARTHA WAGGONER Associated Press April 25, 2000 -- "The competition between these companies is going to make it difficult for the U.S. government to control the market," said John Pike, the FAS Webmaster who ordered the 1-meter photos from Space Imaging of Thornton, Colo. Snooping's Not Just for Spies Any More By WILLIAM J. BROAD The New York Times April 23, 2000 - The investigative use of space imagery has been strongly encouraged by the Public Eye program of the Federation of American Scientists. Its newest target is Area 51, and it played a big role in the release of the new imagery. Hacker disrupts service to Area 51 Web site By MARTHA WAGGONER, Associated Press April 21, 2000 - John Pike of the Federation of American Scientists in Washington, D.C., said he would guess the attack was an external denial of service, like the one that happened to Yahoo! a few months ago, and not from someone who gained access to the server. "Area 51 revealed in satellite views," By Alan Boyle MSNBC 17 April 2000 -- John Pike, an expert on space imagery at the Washington-based Federation of American Scientists, said he was intrigued by the sheer size of the Area 51 complex — especially when the pictures are compared with overhead imagery produced in 1968 for the U.S. Geological Survey. The federation posted side-by-side comparisons on its Web site Monday afternoon. "Uncle Sam, show us the UFOs," By Paul Bedard U.S.News & World Report 1/24/00 -- The Federation of American Scientists is daring the government to come clean on one of the great mysteries of the 20th Century -– Area 51. In a test of wills, the nerdy group famous for its efforts to reduce Big Brother's secrecy has hired Denver-based Space Imaging to shoot satellite photos of the highly protected Pentagon facility. John Pike of the FAS doesn't expect to discover futuristic new aircraft for his $1,000 effort.
The Significance of Area 51 Imagery
Apart from the simple voyeuristic thrill of gazing upon secret things, which cannot be denied, there is a larger public policy interest in overhead imagery of Area 51. The end of the Cold War has occasioned only modest reforms in the grotesquely hypertrophied security and classification system that insensibly developed as the bodyguard of lies against the Soviet Union. These security measures were not entirely without foundation, as they were implemented to protect American weapons systems from being copied or countered by the Soviet adversary.But they were not without price, as over time the secret government within the security enclave became increasingly unaccountable to an increasingly distrustful public. With the end of the Cold War, and in the absence of a worthy adversary with the potential to copy or counter American weapons, it was presumed that there would be an adjustment in the security and classification system, towards greater transparency and public accountability. With some notable exceptions, however, the security enclave remains remarkably unchanged from its Cold War configuration. Indeed, in recent years a backlash has emerged, tending to reverse even the modest gains in public accountability of the 1990s.
Humor is one of the few tools available for public efforts to shift the boundaries of the security enclave. Declining to take "secrets" seriously constitutes a fundamental epistemological critique of a security and classification edifice that does far more to protect bureaucratic interests than to protect the national interest.
Highlighting the discrepancy between what the public knows, and what the government will acknowledge, is a key instrument in teasing out the absurdities of the security enclave. There is no better opportunity for such mirth than Area 51. The US Government has only recently acknowledged the "fact of the existence" of this facility, despite ample publicity and super-abundant speculation over the past decades.
The Good Book says "the guilty flee where none pursueth, but the righteous are bold as a lion" [Proverbs 28:1]. Over time the profound secrecy surrounding Area 51 has engendered an elaborate edifice of popular culture, rehearsed most famously in the movie "Independence Day." Sceptical observers may perhaps be forgiven for suspecting that Area 51 is the repository for captured Alien technology, since it would otherwise be difficult to imagine any other secret so awful as to require the level of secrecy surrounding this facility.
Reducing the excessive secrecy at Area 51, and throughout the government generally, is an essential step towards restoring the bonds between American society and the American government.
Corona Coverage of Groom Lake
An exhaustive search for imagery of Groom Lake at the National Archives has revealed that all Corona imagery of Groom Lake has been deleted from the original negatives as well as the duplicate positives. This is apparently the case for the duplicate positives set located at the USGS EROS data at Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The deletions appear to have taken place over thirty years ago, when the film was originally placed into the Talent-Keyhole SCI Codeword intelligence system.
The implications of this finding are interesting to say the least. What this means is that an imagery analyst who had a Top Secret security clearance and who had been indoctrinated in the Talent-Keyhole system, still did not have a sufficient clearance to see imagery of Groom Lake. This level of compartmentation of intelligence information borders on the surreal.
Lessons Learned - Public Imagery
Apart from the intrinsic interest in Area 51 itself, overhead imagery of this facility provides important insights into the dynamics of publicly available high-resolution satellite imagery.
The new 1-meter IKONOS imagery provides substantial interpretability gains relative to previously available 2-meter imagery. This fact should be self-evident from the simple physical reality that a single pixel in a 2-meter image is revealed as four pixels in a 1-meter image. If it is not self evident, contemplation of Area 51 at various resolutions should prove enlightening.
If one picture is worth a thousand words, two pictures are worth ten thousand words. The availability of new 1-meter imagery does not render older 2-meter imagery obsolete, but actually increases the importance of the older products. Although each of the images of Area 51 is interesting, much of what can be learned from these images is learned through comparison of imagery acquired over time. While the importance of negation imagery and change extraction is self-evident to the classified national imagery exploitation community, the classified community operates in an environment of profound abundance relative to the public imagery community. Publicly available imagery generally consists of global coverage with declassified CORONA 2-meter imagery [with a 1972 cut-off date], Russian 2-meter imagery from the 1980s and 1990s [though with limited geographic coverage], and the new 1-meter imagery such as is available from IKONOS. Over time the 1-meter archive will grow, but absent the assistance of a time machine the new commercial systems will unavoidably remain artifacts of the Third Millennium. Public imagery exploitation campaigns will continue to derive considerable benefit from Second Millennium systems such as CORONA and the Russian SPIN-2.
Imagery is expensive, but imagery is cheap. The basic cost of acquiring commercial satellite imagery has discouraged potential users from investigating applications of this product, but imagery acquisition costs are only a small fraction of the total cost of an imagery campaign. Imagery from the new commercial high-resolution satellite systems typically costs thousands of dollars for each scene. For IKONOS, the costs can range from about $1,000 for a small scene covering territory inside the United States to over $5,000 for a large scene of territory outside the United States. The intelligence cycle is conventionally partitioned into tasking, collection, processing and dissemination -- figuring out what you want, getting it, figuring out what you have gotten, and telling others what you have. In round numbers, it may be conveniently estimated that the cost of each of these four elements of the intelligence cycle are roughly the same. Although commercial satellite imagery can cost thousands of dollars, in the real world this may represent only a quarter of the total cost of an imagery campaign. The other three quarters of the cost is represented in staff time and other expenses associated with tasking, processing and dissemination. Although commentators have largely focused on interpretation as the greatest challenge facing the public imagery community, in the real world the other components of the intelligence cycle are equally if not more challenging. In any event, they are certainly extremely time consuming. Previously expressed concerns about the potential for commercial high resolution imagery to compromise the security of American military operations [such as the "left hook / Hail Mary" maneuver of American forces in the prelude to Desert Storm] have not taken into account the time and motion investment that would be required to implement such an imagery campaign. In the real world, such a campaign would be extraordinarily challenging, and expensive, and it is not immediately evident that either the news media or non-governmental organizations would be pre-disposed to mount the requisite effort [totally apart from whatever shutter control might be imposed]. Indeed, now that some practical time and motion data is available on the collection management of the commercial 1-meter product, it would be interesting to undertake a retrospective "what could we know and when could we know it" analysis of the Desert Storm exemplar. This could provide greater fidelity on the cost/benefit tradespace that would confront a public imagery campaign focused on US military operations, and the risks [if any] that could be mitigated by US government shutter control policies.
The visible hand of the imagery marketplace is moving pixel-pushers towards greater customer satisfaction. In early February 2000 it was publicly reported that FAS had tasked SpaceImaging to provide imagery of Area 51. It would appear that the decision of Aerial Images to provide Russian imagery of Area 51 through the TerraServer implementation was driven in some measure by an awareness of the probable public interest in such imagery, and the possibility of regaining mind-share from SpaceImaging. It cannot escape notice that SpaceImaging provided the long-awaited IKONOS imagery a few hours after the debut of Area 51 on TerraServer [some two weeks after the image was actually acquired]. Such market competition may [or may not] stress the US government's shutter control policy, which is predicated on retaining control of commercially available high resolution imagery through pre-emption of the marketplace by companies subject to US government licensing restrictions. Information age industries are generally characterized by "first past the post, winner take all" market dynamics. Information industry innovators, particularly those which achieve early market dominance, are effectively able to pre-empt the market and preclude other later entrants from gaining significant market share. Microsoft is the exemplar of this dynamic, and the enthusiasm with which the various dot.com internet companies burn money is predicated on exploiting this dynamic of transforming mind-share into market share. Four of the five announced entrants into the high resolution commercial imagery market are licensed by the US Government, and subject to US Government shutter control restrictions. The fifth announced entrant is a Russian company, and the status of this Russian project remains uncertain. Apart from the commercial interests of the American companies selling Russian imagery [the Aerial Images / TerraServer partnership], it is interesting to speculate on Russian interests in releasing Area 51 imagery. In March 2000 SpaceImaging released "before and after" imagery of the devastation caused by the Russian military assault on Grozny, the capital of Chechnya. While it is probably futile to speculate on the precise process that led to the public release of the Russian imagery of Area 51, this exploit may serve as a useful exemplar of a "retaliatory release" of imagery.
Commercial 1-meter imagery appears stabilizing rather than de-stabilizing, far more applicable to peace-time verification than to war-time targeting. During the Cold War the transparency created by satellite imagery was generally regarded as contributing to stability. One of the primary concerns raised by the advent of commercial near-realtime imagery is the possibility that it could be used for wartime targeting and damage assessment, which could be regarded as de-stabilizing. The potential for such warfighting applications depends first on how near to realtime the "near-realtime" product actually is, and second [and most importantly] on the dependability and predictability of the product. In the real world, an imagery intelligence system with a latency [the interval between tasking and delivery] of a few days may or may not be useful for warfighting. In principle, the IKONOS system can provide collection managers with such "near"-realtime imagery, as demonstrated by the next-day collection of imagery of a 28 March 2000 tornado in Texas. In practice, the delay of over two months in providing an image of Area 51 strongly suggests that commercial vendors such as SpaceImaging would not be regarded as "usually reliable source" for warfighting intelligence.
Apart from the intrinsic interest in Area 51, the Public Eye initiative of the Federation of American Scientists tasked IKONOS imagery of this facility as an experiment to validate the potential applicability of commercial high resolution imagery to warfighting applications. The explicit restrictions on commercial imagery are well-known -- no high resolution imagery of Israel, and shutter control when imposed by the US government in connection with military operations. The possibility of less formal or explicit restrictions on the availability of imagery is less well understood, though perhaps subject to experimental verification. The possibility could not be excluded that additional restriction on imagery availability, beyond the formal legal requirements of the government license, could result from either explicit corporate policy or informal influence from various sources. If in fact such informal shutter controls were to be imposed, Area 51 would surely be a leading candidate for such restrictions. The operational security managers of the Groom Lake facility are surely the world's most experienced, and presumably the most competent, practitioners of the art of hiding things from reconnaissance satellites. While there was no reason to anticipate that commercial imagery of this facility would reveal anything of particular sensitivity, Area 51 itself is nonetheless perhaps the most "sensitive" US Government facility, and thus an excellent candidate for an experimental exploration of informal shutter control. Indeed, several years ago, in response to the announced intention of FAS to eventually acquire imagery of Area 51, it was publicly reported that SpaceImaging intended as a matter of corporate policy to sell no imagery of any US military facility, to include Area 51. It would not be particularly productive to speculate too deeply on the sources of the profound delay in the availability of the IKONOS imagery of Area 51. This delay will not escape the notice of military intelligence collection managers around the world. The tasking responsiveness of the IKONOS system remains obscure, if not opaque, and such commercial systems would not appear a promising source for reliable near-realtime targeting intelligence.

Area 51 Facility Overview
Protected by almost a thousand square miles of restricted airspace and surrounded by the Nevada Test Site lies a secret airbase where the government has tested advanced technology aircraft for the past forty years. Known to most people as Area 51, the facility also has been referred to as Groom Lake, The Ranch, Watertown strip, and within the government the Directorate for Development Plans Area. Area 51 is an official government secret, and yet widely known in the popular culture. The enormous steps the government has taken to keep the fact of the existence of this secret test facility out of the public domain are matched only by the public's interest in the site, and by the extensive amount of information that is available in the open press. Much of the interest in Area 51 comes from members of the UFO subculture who are at least suspicious if not convinced that crashed alien spacecraft as well as the bodies of aliens are stored at Area 51.
In a sense, the government's security problem is self-inflicted. Excessive government secrecy during the Cold War, domestic spying and other scandals by the CIA, the belated declassification of the explanation of UFO sightings later explained in the Roswell report, secret radiation experiments on unwitting citizens by the Department of Energy (then Atomic Energy Commission) have contributed to an intense suspicion among some that the government is "hiding something." This perception is not unjustified given the extensive secrecy surrounding the facility. Of course the government is hiding something -- a secret flight test facility for advanced technology aircraft.
Groom Lake started out as an Army Air Corps Gunnery Range during World War II. In the mid-1950's Lockheed was searching for a remote base to test its new U-2 spy plane. Although the runway on the remote dry lake bed was unusable, the location was deemed to be ideal due to its remoteness and by the summer of 1955 construction of a 5,000 foot runway began, with two hangars and some temporary living quarters. Later surplus Navy military quarters were dismantled, shipped to Groom, and reassembled. The first U-2 arrived on a C-124 later in 1955. The U-2 was reassembled, checked out, and on August 4, 1955 Tony Levier made the first flight test.
With the arrival of the A-12 program the runway was lengthened to 8,500 feet, fuel storage tanks capable of holding up to 1,320,000 gallon of JP-7 were added, as well as three surplus navy hangars and 100 surplus Navy housing buildings. Eight hangars at the south end of the base were built to house the A-12 spy planes.
By the 1980's a weapons storage area south of the main base was added, with five earth-covered igloos, presumably to support weapons testing for the F-117 program, and possibly the advanced cruise missile program.Until recently, the facility was supported by one 12,400-long, 100-foot-wide hard surface runway, which extends onto the dry lake bed North, giving it a total length of 25,300 feet or 4.8 miles. Sometime in the early 1990's this runway was deactivated, and replaced by a new 11,960-foot-long, 140-foot-wide runway.
Several indicators suggest that Groom Lake's flight test activity did not end with the F-117 Stealth Fighter. First, construction of a new runway, which must have started sometime after the F-117 program had been made public. Second, the numerous reports by aviation enthusiasts and others of unusual aircraft noise and lights at night in the years since the F-117 became public. Third, the 1995 action by the Department of Interior to withdraw 3,972 acres of Bureau of Land Management land, from public access, creating a security buffer zone to prevent public viewing of military activities at Groom Lake.

New Runway
One of the most obvious changes from 1968 to 1998 is the construction of a new 11,960 foot runway replacing the older 12,400 foot runway 32 Left to the west. Runway 32 Right. The Southern end of Runway 32R is blackened with about twice the tire skid marks than at the north end of the runway suggesting that the prevailing winds are from the north throughout most of the year. It is not clear how far on to the dry lake the Runway 32 Right overrun extends. At the south end of 32R there are six final flight check spaces on the runway apron. At each end of the runway there is a runway barrier net and arresting cable

The four large hangars at the north of the base, present in the 1968 image, have evidently been enlarged by the time of the 1998 image. In addition, the housing complex for base personnel -- the large array of smaller buildings to the south of the hangars, has been entirely rebuilt between 1968 and 1998, with the additional of new support facilities.

PARKERSBURG - Contributions are rolling in for the city's mayoral campaign.
Incumbent Mayor Bob Newell and Republican challenger Sharyn Tallman are both off and running with fundraisers, according to financial statements filed Friday with the Parkersburg City Clerk.
Newell, a Democrat, has raised almost $24,000 for his general election campaign race. Tallman reported almost $10,000 in contributions and more than $6,500 in expenditures
Newell, seeking to become the first to serve three consecutive terms as mayor, held a pair of fundraisers in August and September. After an August fundraiser at the Blennerhassett Hotel, Newell's campaign reported contributions of $9,775. Newell reported $1,000 campaign contributions from James McCutcheon, Rebecca McCutcheon, Randall Snider and L. Michael Simmons.
A second fundraiser at River City Tavern netted $14,150. The campaign reported $1,000 contributions from Elizabeth Jones, Ben Jones, C. Mathew Jones, Paul Astorg, Joseph Astorg and David and Marni Kepple.
The mayor's campaign reported almost $19,000 in expenditures, the bulk of which (more than $13,000) was spent on television and outdoor advertising.
Tallman reported raising $2,100 at an August fundraiser event at J.P. Henry's. The campaign reported $500 contributions from Rick Barton and Randall Holden.
Tallman also contributed $1,000 to the campaign.
Tallman reported $2,706 in expenditures. The expenditures do not list the cost of her billboard advertisements.
Tallman raised a little more than $2,500 prior to the spring primary in which she was unopposed.
Newell raised and spent more than $33,000 to defeat former Parkersburg police Chief Gerald Board in the spring primary.
Campaign financial statements from the mayoral and city council candidates were due Friday. City Clerk Connie Shaffer had not received reports from Parkersburg City Council candidates James Richard (District 2) and Tandra Mays (District 3).

BIRTHDAY GAL: Actress Megan Ward was born in Los Angeles, Calif., today in 1969. This birthday gal played the role of Kate Howard on the long-running soap "General Hospital" from 2007-2010. She's also guest-starred on episodes of "CSI: Miami," "CSI: NY" and "Ghost Whisperer." On the big screen, Ward's film credits include "Joe's Apartment," "PCU" and "Encino Man."
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Add more than you subtract. In financial matters, make a conscious effort to avoid careless spending. A key love relationship can be kick-started to restore harmony and serenity.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Someone's example of efficiency can become your role model. Work on a pet project or get up to speed with career matters. Utilize the extra energy and passion at your fingertips.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): No matter how dull and boring routine work seems, or how many obligations you must fulfill, rest assured that things will improve. Your opinions earn respect within social circles.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Things from the bargain bin are easily tossed in the trash. Value the lasting things that never waver or fade. Refuse to let hidden inner fears prevent you from being the best you can be.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Pay attention to the poetry in the world around you. Explore the depth of feelings that thrive between you and a loved one. A friendly flirtation could warm up a chilly business situation.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It's time to put some plans and ideas in front of others. They say it takes money to make money, but you should try to "make it do or do without." Use networking power, not financial clout, to find success.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A special someone might be quite impressed by your physical prowess or brash self-confidence. This could be a good time to approach someone without seeming overly aggressive.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): One is the loneliest number. Find someone to share your day. The great outdoors or competitive sports are highlighted. If you are going to play at anything, resolve to play to win.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don't throw away something that's still useful. Transform old things into new ones or find new uses for them. Cash in by having a garage sale, or make a donation to local charity.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Count courtesy just like stitches. As you know, a stitch in time saves nine. If you step on toes, beg someone's pardon. Knit back together a relationship that's fallen apart at the seams.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Faithfully follow friends. When the going gets tough, the tough get going, but real friends show their true colors. If your ambition is tweaked, then it's time to apply your skill set like a pro.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your mental acrobatics and logical approach may be unappreciated, but intuitions could be right on the mark. A passing flirtation might bring someone of value into your circle of friends.
IF SEPTEMBER 24 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Look for a chance to lead others, rise in the ranks on the job, or benefit from a wider range of connections during the upcoming two months. This is a time when you're more focused on achieving recognition in the business world. Once you make a step forward or improve your financial condition, you're unlikely to slip backwards. Any advancement you make in late October or early November is likely to be permanent. Plan to take a vacation or fulfill other fantasies in January or February when your business or financial ideas are on the back burner.

Apple on Icahn: We Appreciate All of Our Shareholders
Activist investor Carl Icahn took to Twitter today – he said he would – to announce a "large position" in APPLE — not Apple, but APPLE. Had a pleasant chitchat with Apple CEO Tim Cook, too. I doubt Icahn needed icebreaker tips.
We currently have a large position in APPLE. We believe the company to be extremely undervalued. Spoke to Tim Cook today. More to come.
— Carl Icahn (@Carl_C_Icahn) August 13, 2013
Icahn thinks Apple is undervalued. The stock is up 5.6% to $493.60 in late trading Tuesday. Apple has lost 31% since hitting its all time high north of $700 last September. Icahn, of course, has some ideas.
Had a nice conversation with Tim Cook today. Discussed my opinion that a larger buyback should be done now. We plan to speak again shortly.
— Carl Icahn (@Carl_C_Icahn) August 13, 2013
Apple's cash on hand always draws attention because, well, there is just so much of it. If the conversation isn't about returning the money to the U.S. shores, and whatever tax hit that would include, then it is about returning it to shareholders. As David Benoit points out on MoneyBeat, Apple already counts Greenlight Capital founder David Einhorn as an investor, and Einhorn had ideas for how Apple could whittle down its cash hoard.
Apple said in April that it planned to buy back $60 billion in shares by the end of 2015 as part of a $100 billion cash-distribution package. Hey, the company listens to its investors. A spokesman for Apple said today: "We appreciate the interest and investment of all our shareholders. Tim had a very positive conversation with Mr. Icahn today."
Here is the Journal's full article, which will be updated through the day.

There are so many things I could, should, and want to be writing about, but until I get Tim McGraw out of my head, it's not happening.
As the People magazine cover story by Alicia Dennis (February 2 2013) points out, Tim is "Sexy and Sober at 45" (and not coincidentally on the brink of his Two Lanes of Freedom tour, which launches in Vegas on March 1.) I'm sorry I can't hook you up to the whole article, and I am even sorrier that I cannot thieve the photograph of the bare chested, tanned and chiseled Tim, with a ripply eight pack and absolutely no fat between his abdomen and his hip bones (how do I know this? His jeans are balanced slightly north of his pubes.) Check out another pic below the fold.
Like all of us who are (way) over 40, Tim woke up one day and discovered that the party was over and that he had gained about forty pounds. In fact, it sounds like he was an alcoholic:
"I wasn't a beer drinker. I was more a whiskey drinker. And I wouldn't just have a drink. If I was going to drink, I'd have some drinks," says McGraw.
"People were worried about me. It was to the point where I felt it was negatively affecting my relationships and getting in the way of things I wanted to accomplish in life. So I quit."
It sounds like an ultimatum from Tim's superstar wife, Faith Hill, right?
In addition to not drinking, and getting all the wheat, fat and sugar out of his diet ("another skinless chicken breast with kale, please!"), for the last five years, McGraw has been working out three times a day, for a total of 6 hours. When he has a show that night, he only works out twice. Sample workout schedule and daily menu chez McGraw-Hill can be viewed here.
OK. This is what stopped me dead. Six hours a day of working out? I have to thank Tim McGraw and People magazine for this bit of information, since the takeaway here is that if you are going to look thin, cool and sexy in middle age, you have to make working out and eating a full time job. Taking on a little staff doesn't hurt either: a cook and a trainer would be a good start. This would, perhaps, be right for Tim McGraw, or any other aging country star, since being sexy and beautiful is what they do for a living.
But for we university academics? Or anyone else with a full time desk job? Not a chance, and being hunky is not what we do for a living. So while I doubt seriously that my efforts at physical self-improvement will end, I now realize that it is impossible for me to look like the fantastic me I have always imagined could emerge from middle aged person who has become padded in all the middle aged places.
Thank you People, thank you Tim McGraw.

Can you define 'rather large'?
I have several hundred thousand messages in my mail archive dating back
about 10 years ago, and TB handles the archive without any problem, i.e.
there isn't really a need to archive outside TB (as long as you keep

Michael Kolarcik writes home from Rome, where he is on sabbtical for the spring semester:
One of the highlights for me in this sabbatical period was to listen to Pope Francis address the Gregorian Consortium, April 10, 2014 in the Aula Paolo VI, to some 5,000 faculty, students, and co-workers of the Gregorian University, the Biblical and Oriental Institutes. The Holy See has missioned these pontifical educational centres to the Society of Jesus. And of course this is the first time in our history that the Pope addresses his special educational missions in Rome as a Jesuit. And he did this in a unique fashion. Basically there were three values he championed, which I believe could have been addressed to Regis College as well. 1) Do your Theology from the periphery to the centre and return back to the peripheries of your cultures. 2) In all your studies and theories keep an open mind and never close up your world view into a self-sufficient, inward looking viewpoint. And 3) always do your thinking and work out your theories on your knees, in prayer. I think it's worth my while to always keep these three values at play in my life.

I have an instant hot number GN1100SN what does SN stand for and can I buy just the tank separately.
The SN will be indicative of the Satin Nickel finish. This model will use the SST-FLTR tank and heater assembly.
Is this hot water dispenser the complete package, or will I need additional items to install?
The InSinkErator F-GN1100 is only the faucet. You will need to purchase a InSinkErator SST-FLTR Point-Of-Use Water Heater to fully function.
I have a 'SST' water tank. Is the SST-FLTR a different water tank? If not, is the FLTR required for the F-GN1100?
The SST-FLTR is required for the F-GN1100, I have not heard of just the "SST" tank, I bet they are the same, but you may want to call InSinkErator directly to make sure as they may ask you how old and what you tank looks like.
I'm looking for a more stylish faucet to replace my current bulky one. I currently have the In Sink Errator H770-22 model. Will this faucet work with my current tank?
Yes, the InSinkErator F-GN1100 will work with your current tank. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
I'm trying to match a hot water dispenser to my Danze stainless steel faucet. Do you know if this satin nickel finish matches the Danze stainless steel finish?
Danze uses Brushed Nickel and Stainless Steel interchangeably for their faucets. Every manufacturer has a different take on their Nickel tone. I would expect the In-Sink-Erator pearl quality to be a bit stronger and not have as much of a brush mark as the finish on the Danze. They will be close but not perfect matches.
I currently have the Insinkerator H990W-SS. Will the tank for it work with InSinkErator F-GN1100 ?
The InSinkErator F-GN1100 will work with the tank from the H990W-SS if you have a plastic drain plug on your current unit.
Which color is closest to stainless steel?
The InSinkErator F-GN1100 in the Brushed Chrome would be the closest option to Stainless Steel.
Does this work with the #SSTFLTR?
The InSinkErator F-GN1100 will work the SSTFLTR.
Can we buy just the dispenser top separately without replacing the tank?
You can buy the dispenser without the tank. There is an option to remove the tank from the shopping cart during checkout.

Smuk lejlighed, alt er der, terrasser, udsigt, beliggenhed, komfort og plads! Let tilgængeligt fra downtown.
Appartement magnifique, tout y est, terrasses, vue, emplacement, confort et espace!facilement accessible du centre ville.
Opholdt sig i George lejlighed under jul - nytår pause sidste år (2011).
Lejligheden er godt indrettet med alle moderne bekvemmeligheder. Fra en placering perspektiv er det er tæt på en hovedvej (uden at skulle stå over for trængsel og støj af nærhed!) Godt forbundet med offentlig transport, og helt tæt på nogle af de store turist pletter i Athen.
Hvad er mere vigtigt er, at George er et vidunderligt hensynsfuld vært, der tager stor glæde byde folk til hans lejlighed, og sikrer, at man er lavet til at føle sig meget komfortable der.
Jeg er mere end glad for at anbefale George og hans lejlighed for at enhver, som ønsker at besøge Athen for en uge eller deromkring. Af den måde, kan du prøve restaurant lige overfor lejligheden: fødevarer er ganske rart der!
Stayed in George's apartment during the Christmas - New Year break of last year (2011).
The apartment is well-furnished with all modern conveniences. From a location perspective, it is close to a main thoroughfare (without having to face the congestion and noise of proximity!); well connected by public transport and quite close to some of the major tourist spots in Athens.
What is more important is that George is a wonderfully considerate host, who takes great pleasure in welcoming people to his apartment and ensures that one is made to feel very comfortable there.
I am more than happy to recommend George and his apartment to whosoever wishes to visit Athens for a week or so. By the way, try the restaurant just opposite the apartment: the food is quite nice there!
Vi havde en virkelig rart tid i George lejlighed. Stedet var fuldt udstyrede, smukke og meget pænt dekoreret! Området var også meget rart og fredelig og relativt tæt på centrum af Athen. Jeg ville helt klart anbefale George plads til alle rejsende.
We had a really nice time in George's apartment. The place was fully equipped, beautiful and very nicely decorated!! The area also was very nice and peaceful and relatively close to the center of Athens. I would definitely recommend George's place to all travelers.
Awesome! Meget behageligt ophold i lejligheden George, fantastisk beliggenhed og meget veludstyret. George var stor med os, tog tid at lære at kende og udveksle ... Super!
Vi anbefaler at leje det, vil du blive glad som os!
Génial ! Séjour très agréable dans l'appartement de George, très bien situé et très bien équipé. George a été formidable avec nous, a pris du temps pour nous connaître et échanger... Super !
Nous recommandons de louer auprès de lui, vous serez enchantés comme nous !
God lejlighed men problem med paiement. Jeg betalte 2 gange og skal aldrig refundere trods vente fire par måneder! Jeg recommand ikke dette sted.
Good flat but problem with the paiement. I paid 2 times and be never refund, despite waiting four few months!! I don't recommand this place.
George was an excellent house manager, replied quickly and in detail for each request. The house is very nice, quite and clean, very bright with a fantastic view on Athens's harbour and more. Everything worked well. Pireaus area is not so comfortable to get beaches and Acropoli (it took about 45/55 minutes) but you can easily get buses and the metro stop is about 10' far away.
To make it simple: the house was a WRECK (broken chairs, 3 chairs for a house for 10, 1 bathroom instead of 2, dirty floors, dirty stuff in the cupboards, dirty plastic bottles near the pool, ... ). We called George to complain and to tell him that we would not stay in the house (we were with children), and managed to talk to him.
BUT, that was the only contact that we had: he did not return our following calls to discuss refund. We left him several messages but he did bot care. For me, he is a CROOK.
In the end we did not stay in the house, and got re-imbursed by Wimdu, after sending photos and explaining the situation, plus several calls and emails.
George is a great host, his apartment is very pleasant and robust. If you are looking to stay in that area, then it is the best place to stay. George was very attentive to my needs and made everything possible to accommodate my desires.
Lovely apartment - couple of broken items which I am sure will have been dealt with by George's efficient team by the next stay. The location is too far from the metro for a comfortable walk in 37+ heat! Easy walk beside the block through a wee park to the main road and immediate access to taxis. We paid around €6 to the centre of Athens and with 3 of us that was fine. The bus stops there too. Shame the satellite dish blocks the view of the Acropolis from the balcony - lovely view from the bedroom window! We sat out a couple of times but it was so hot we were thankful for the air conditioning inside. All in all a good flat in a quiet location. Transfers were easy to arrange with George's drivers and I would recommend the apartment as a good choice for anyone who doesn't want to stay in the city centre which can be noisy and very busy.
I would definately recommed the Apartment to everyone. It is fully renovated and modern decorated. George was a perfect Host and always very helpful.
The location is unbeatable for sure. Great Areas like Plaka, Acropolis, Monastiraki, Kolonaki are all within walking distance, from 1 minute away to a maximum of 15 minutes.
Athens in general is allways worth it to go there.
Thanks George. See you next time in Athens.

Comments about Women's Yakima Breaks Upland Pant:
Someone said, "wow your butt looks really good in those pants." Yes, and they feel great, fit great, can't wait to walk in the weeds with them, too.
Comments about Women's Yakima Breaks Upland Pant:
There are very few options for ladies for hunting attire. These briar pants have a flattering, modern cut and great look. Highly recommended.
Comments about Women's Yakima Breaks Upland Pant:
Great pants that aren't too baggy - easy to move around in. A bit pricey, but I'm still glad I got them.
Comments about Women's Yakima Breaks Upland Pant:
I really loved this pants for our pheasant hunt in ND. They actually fit well and were quite flattering. This made me very happy, because finding womens brush pants are impossible. Everything was going great until I got down on one knee to water the dog and the inseam ripped open (which made for a very drafty day). I am hoping that Eddie Bauer will take these pants back because I feel they are defective.

Squeals of laughter mark the beginning of the hunt with kids scattering the grounds searching for those hidden treasures.
With an event so big it comes as a surprise the director is so young. 17-year-old Alex Lowe started the Belpre Easter Egg Hunt 3 years ago.
She saw a need in her community and works hard every year to provide this hunt for the kids.
Local businesses, churches, and community members donate money to help fill the more than 10,000 eggs used in the hunt.
For her it's all about the feeling of helping others.
"I love the outcome that I get from it and I mean it's so amazing to hear people say this is amazing. I don't know if I could've done something like that. Or you know I have people come up and say I couldn't have done this for my kids. I couldn't have had an Easter for my kids and you know this is something they can give them that they couldn't have," says Founder and Director Alex Lowe.
After all the eggs and candy are scooped up kids also get the chance to meet the Easter bunny.

Proposals for underground electricity lines presented to North Mayo residentsMonday 07 July 2014 21.51
Residents in North Mayo have been presented with proposals to put high powered electricity lines underground for the first time.
As part a public consultation for the new Grid West infrastructure, villagers in Moygownagh were shown both an option for underground or aerial lines, which will run from north Mayo to Flagford Co Roscommon.
Grid West designers have carried out a comprehensive analysis of both options and published emerging preferred routes for both underground and aerial designs.
However, residents in North Mayo remain opposed to the new grid west project because they claim there is absolutely no need to impose the infrastructure on the community.
Eddie Farrell from the residents group in Moygownagh said the only reason the Grid West project was going in was to support two wind farms which residents claim are no longer required in the area.
Both of the options presented by Eirgrid today will be submitted to the Government Independent Expert Panel, who will review all the options.
The final decision on the project is not expected until 2015.

Feds Fly Unaccompanied Minors to Alaska
HOUSTON, Texas–As unaccompanied minors continue to illegally cross the Texas-Mexico border, President Obama's Health and Human Services (HHS) has been quietly releasing them onto U.S. soil. A total of 30,340 unaccompanied minors have already been released from federal custody and placed into foster homes, according to HHS' Office of Refugee and Resettlement (ORR). While many migrants have been released in border states like Texas and California, others have been set free in Alaska.
Wonder what those south of the border kids will think of Alaskan winters?

Project AWARE welcomes the inclusion, for the first time, of species of sharks and rays in the Spanish List of Wild Species under Special Protection (Listado de Especies Silvestres en Régimen de Protección Especial, in Spanish).
Only a tiny fraction of Atlantic sharks – under 1% – are under protection even though most shark species are heading towards extinction, a report warns on Tuesday.
The European Union has officially extended measures to protect threatened porbeagle sharks from fishing.
To help raise awareness on the threats facing global and local shark populations we will join with Dive Tribe, local businesses, and others to purchase and release sharks back into the sea. This will be coordinated with other releases being organized by groups in Phuket and Pattaya for the same day.
MID North Coast Tourism has backed scuba divers and environmentalists in their push for greater grey nurse shark protections off South West Rocks and the Coffs Coast, in Australia.
After watching the movie Shark Water, we knew we had to do something to educate the local people of Costa Rica. Make them aware that shark finning is not cool!
We are emptying the ocean of sharks. Thankfully, divers are some of sharks' closest and most influential allies. Together, we are creating a powerful, collective voice to lead global grassroots change. You've helped us secure a stronger EU finning ban and bring about safeguards for highly traded shark and ray species under CITES.
Here's why your actions to protect sharks matter:
