Reviews for this host's other properties
Cozy place, good location.
At first I worried, as I saw a lot of negative comments about WIMDU and I had already paid. However, I was very positively surprised and quickly put at ease:
The responses from the website were prompt and professional. The apartment was clean and the interaction with Martin was excellent. Pick up of the keys was friendly and professional. The apartment had everything I needed and was in good order. Location is ideal; very central to public transport, cafe's, shops. The apartment quiet and around the corner there is action, if that is what you like.
One minor matter, which is why I give it 4 stars and not 5 (I think 4.5 stars is realistic): The blinds on one window (shower+ toilet) needs replacing. The rest of the apartment is in excellent shape. I can highly recommend Martin and the apartment.

The apartment was in a great location, near food shopping, etc and near the transportation network - S - Bahn.
We had what we need for the week's stay. Shower head needs a small repair and we were not able to turn on TV--but maybe that was our problem.
Heike met us and was very helpful in assisting us with baggage when we arrived and when we left.
Thank you,

We spent 7 nights in the apartment. The location is superb (not in the center, but nice and quiet neighborhood). Gabi was so kind and gave us the keys, even when we got there a bit late. Supermarket, U and S stations and bus, literally 1 min walking. The apartment is spacious for 2 people, clean, and with all the amenities you can need, including extra towels and sheets. The kitchen is big enough to eat in there, and very clean. Bathroom small but enough to feel confortable. The only bad thing I would say about the apartment is that the mattress is old and not so confortable (but we survived). No problems with the wifi and hot water. I would repeat without doubt...but more happily if they change the mattress.....XD
The apartment is great, big, clean and very good situated. Check in/out was very easy.
Thanks Martin!

The apartment is right on Nollendorfplatz, overlooking the uBahn station. It was clean, tidy and well laid out. The sofa-bed in the living room was lacking covers. The kitchen was very well equipped despite its small size. It was particularly nice to find that tea bags and milk had been provided. The kitchen window was badly cracked.
The bathroom/toilet is also small and somewhat cramped. It was clean and tidy. The bedroom was sparsely furnished but entirely adequate. The bed was comfortable.
The living room was a bit to warm at times: despite it being Summer and pretty warm the radiators were warm in the evenings so the windows and doors had to be opened to keep the room at a comfortable temperature. The bedroom was much cooler.
The location is great. The area is lively and relaxed at the same time. Maaßenstraße is lined with bars and restaurants. Winterfeldplatz has a regular market with good fresh produce. There is a good, well stocked supermarket right below the apartment. One can be in the heart of the tourist areas in minutes.
As the apartment is on a busy street expect some noise at night: it was not a problem at any point. Just sitting on the balcony looking over the city was a nice relaxing to spend some time.
I would certainly book this place again were it available.
Great location. Appartment was very well maintained. The possibility to take a hot bath after a long day of sightseeing is very nice. We enjoyed our stay in Berlin! Thank you!

SANTA CRUZ -- Police Friday announced they had identified and obtained an arrest warrant for the second suspect in a home invasion robbery on Poplar Avenue early Wednesday.
The suspect, 22-year-old Esteban Lopez, is wanted for robbery, false imprisonment, burglary and assault with a deadly weapon, police said.
Lopez is a confirmed Santa Cruz gang member with a history of contact with law enforcement that includes alleged weapons and narcotics violations, Deputy Chief Steve Clark said.
Police have been looking for Lopez for two days, staking out his home and his workplace in Capitola, so far to no avail, Clark said.
"We're continuing to look for him and work with our sources," he said. "We encourage anyone who sees him to call 911."
About 4:30 a.m. Wednesday, two men invaded a home where a couple and their two young daughters were sleeping. The couple awoke to see two men with bandanas covering their faces standing over them, one with a decorative sword the intruder picked up in the home and the other holding a screwdriver, police said.
The men, who appeared to be drunk and were "completely incompetent," began demanding money, said the resident, Yarry Gonzalez.
He was ordered out of bed and onto the floor on his hands and knees, as one man held a sword to his neck and tried to bind his hands with duct tape and then an iPad charging cord, both tries failing, he said.
At one point, Gonzalez said his wife threw a heating pad at one intruder and distracted them, allowing him to spring up from the floor and start fighting back. He grabbed the sword; the other man scratched his wife with the screwdriver, he said. She suffered minor injuries that did not require medical care.
One of the men shoved the couple's 11-year-old daughter as she came to see what was happening, Gonzalez said. Police said they also threatened to harm the children.
Gonzalez tackled one man and kept him on the ground until police arrived, he said.
Cuactemoc Xilonzochilt-Zamora, 28, of Santa Cruz was arrested on suspicion of robbery, false imprisonment, burglary, assault with a deadly weapon and possession of methamphetamine.
He was arraigned Friday, frowning and listening intently to an interpreter after Judge Timothy Volkmann read off a list of the felony charges he faces.
Volkmann set bail at $100,000 and a preliminary hearing was scheduled for March 25. Public defender Diana August was appointed to represent him.
The crime caused more concern in a community reeling from a series of recent violent crime, including a homicide in downtown Santa Cruz, the shooting and robbery of a UCSC student on the Westside, a takeover-style robbery of Food Bin, and a rape at UC Santa Cruz.
A member of Take Back Santa Cruz was able to identify Lopez this week by scrolling through arrest photographs listed online and seeing him arrested in the past with Xilonzochilt-Zamora, said Analicia Cube, founder of Take Back Santa Cruz.
The member then showed the photograph to the victim, who identified Lopez, Cube said.
Lopez' photo was posted on the group's website as well.
Clark said he is appreciative of the group's work, but that showing the photo to the witness will most likely be an issue at trial as it could taint that witness' identification.
He said they had identified Lopez a few hours before the photo was posted.
"It created some delays and legal challenges," he said. "But we got what we needed, and I understand and appreciate what they were trying to accomplish."
Lopez lives on Fairmount Avenue, which runs alongside Highway 1 off Morrissey Boulevard; Poplar Avenue is near Morrissey Boulevard and Water Street. Police say Lopez is 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighs about 130 pounds.
Santa Cruz police ask anyone who sees Lopez to call 911. Police ask with information on the case to call the anonymous tip line at 831-420-5995 or leave a tip at www.santacruzpolice.com or on its cellphone application at http://m.santacruzpolice.com.

Time-Warner Drops KEYT in Some Ventura County Cities
Eastern Ventura County Viewers No Longer Receive NewsChannel 3
VENTURA COUNTY, Calif. - Time-Warner Cable customers in Eastern Ventura County (and some communities in Western Los Angeles County) are no longer able to view KEYT NewsChannel 3.
Time-Warner confirmed on Friday the station's signal was removed from systems in the following communities:
- Agoura Hills (LA County)
- Calabasas (LA County)
- Fillmore (Ventura County)
- Moorpark (Ventura County)
- Oak Park (Ventura County)
- Thousand Oaks (Ventura County)
- Simi Valley (Ventura County)
Some viewers reported to NewsChannel 3 they were told by Time-Warner representatives the decision to be removed was made by KEYT, which is not correct. The station has agreed to be carried on all the affected cable systems where the signal was dropped. Because these communities are outside of NewsChannel 3's designated market area of San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties, the station cannot require coverage.
Time-Warner customers in Eastern Ventura County may request a return of KEYT NewsChannel 3 to their cable lineup, but Time-Warner Cable is under no legal obligation to provide it.
A FCC ruling does require KEYT NewsChannel 3's HD signal be carried on Time-Warner Cable (Channel 388) in the following Western Ventura County cities:
- Ventura
- Oxnard
- Camarillo
- Santa Paula
- Ojai

Looks like the Commocrats rule in Denvy!
Colorado legislature to consider liability for assault weapon owners, sellers and makers
Colorado Senate President John Morse unveiled the details of a new gun-control bill aimed squarely at those who own, sell or manufacture a class of weapons he says have no public benefit and no business on our streets or in our forests: military-style assault weapons.
The bill will hold gun sellers and manufacturers liable for damage caused by their weapons if they dont conform to the highest degree of care in ensuring those weapons arent sold to future criminals. It makes owners of such weapons responsible for every shot fired outside the confines of a private residence.
You fire this weapon, you own that bullet, whatever it does, Morse said during a press conference announcing the details of the bill, which will be introduced in the state Senate on Wednesday.
The bill defines an assault rifle as any firearm other than a handgun, shotgun, bolt-action or lever-action rifle.
These guns are four times as powerful as handguns, he said. That means theyre more effective at killing, theyre more efficient at killing, and they do a lot more collateral damage when theyre used.
There are people who believe they have the right to own these guns, he continued, but we need to be better at making sure that weve articulated clearly the responsibility that goes along with these guns.
The bill exempts those who use an assault weapon to defend themselves or others inside a dwelling in response to a threat of physical force. Also excluded are police officers and military personnel acting within the scope of their duties.
Everyone else from the shooter to the manufacturer could be on the hook for civil damages.
If the bill were to become law, it would place new responsibilities on gun sellers to ensure theyre not selling assault weapons to potential criminals. It would be up to a jury to decide if a seller were negligent in selling a gun to someone he or she should have known would use it in a crime, Morse said.
We set the standard that youve got to have reasonable grounds to know that this person is not going to use the gun dangerously or unlawfully, he said.
Morse said that in the case of the Aurora theater shooting, had this law been in effect, those who sold suspect James Holmes his AR-15 would risk getting sued because, by definition, you didnt get the job accomplished.
Pressed for an example of what would constitute a sale in which a gun store didnt exercise the highest degree of care, Morse said selling 15 AR-15s to a customer wearing a T-shirt that said I love Osama bin Laden would likely not meet the requirement if any of those guns were later used in a crime.
When asked if the bill could encourage political or racial profiling, he said only that sellers can choose or not choose to sell their gun to anyone.
He said the bill wasnt meant as a de facto ban on assault rifles, but later said that he would be OK with the possibility that fewer gun store owners would take the risk of selling them.
The threshold for liability extended to manufacturers under the bill is even murkier, with Morse simply repeating that gun makers must exercise care to ship their weapons to retailers who display high standards for selling them to the public.
Morse said the bill wouldnt violate the federal Commerce in Arms Act, which generally protects the gun industry from liability if their products are used in crimes. Such immunity, however, only applies to manufacturers and sellers who follow state law, as this bill will be if it passes.
Morse also said it would pass a Second Amendment test, citing a Supreme Court ruling that assault rifles are more susceptible to stringent regulations including bans than other firearms.
The reality is, these folks dont have a Second Amendment right to buy these guns, he said. Im not going there with this bill. Im granting them the right, if you will, as long as they take 100 percent responsibility, both to sell it, to buy it, to possess it, to shoot it, the whole kit and caboodle.
You guys have to take this responsibility along with this so-called right.

Rusty's Pizza Closes Waterfront Location
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - To the disappointment of many locals, a popular staple along Cabrillo Boulevard in Santa Barbara closed down. Rusty's Pizza was at the waterfront location for more than a decade, but has 7 other locations from Goleta to Carpinteria.
For years the company has been in talks with the city about replacing the aging Cabrillo Bridge located right underneath the restaurant. The proposed plan calls for the portion that currently extends over the creek to be removed with a second story added to replace the loss of that space, but the tower will remain untouched.
Locals who love this family style pizza restaurant were sad to see it go. Santa Barbara resident Charles Myles said, "it's really unfortunate, it's a really good spot."
Gillian Conway added "this is a staple of Cabrillo Boulevard. I grew up here. We always go to Rusty's. We'll just have to go to the other locations now."
The affected bridge is 90 years old. Costs for repair are estimated at $18 million. 88% of the project will be funded by the Federal Highway Administration Bridge Program as part of a national push to fix aging bridges. Construction is set to begin in the fall, and the project should be complete in about two-years.
Rusty's Pizza has left a sign on the door indicating a new location is set to open on lower State Street. They will move into the old Bee Bop Burger site at 111 State St sometime this Summer!

|I'm in Paragould, it's nice to see some other fish people in the area. Anyone still talking in here?
I'm from J-town too! Nice to see some people from AR on here.
Kinda sucks cause Best Pets and Tropical Paradise are both closed now. I either got to memphis or Tropical Adventure now. Also in Memphis there is a fairly new store called Mempfish that's good, and for pond and reef livestock and supplies, check out Something Fishy. As for Petco, the one here is descent, just don't ask the employees for info.
Also, Oqsy, if you don't mind me asking, where did you find color quartz around here?
|glad it helped, i drive to paragould for fish now
|This review helped me a ton today! and helped me make my decision as to where i was going to buy my aquatic life. i got a 75 gallon aquarium for christmas, and i am almost ready to fill it up!! i had been looking at petco in jonesboro for fish, but like was said some of them are dead, and all of them look unhealthy. So today i went to tropical adventure, and checked out thier fish, they are only about a mile from my house, but i had never been there. I am glad i went, customer service is outstanding, these people really know thier fish!! thank you for that review! it is much appreciated!
|maybe, but salt/fresh would do better.
new store
What would the response be if someone were to open a strictly saltwater fish store (with the possibility of cychlids as well) in Jonesboro, AR where you could purchase all supplies( good selection of livestock, drygoods, salt water, as well as a selection of corals and live rock)? Is the possibility there to develop a good customer base?
|you are right but tropical paradise is closed
I've visited those chains all over the US, including my former home state of Arkansas, and asked basic aquarium questions at each site, as I was working on an article for another forum on fish stores. Of course, I wouldn't have mentioned names to avoid a court visit.
Some of the questions: Do you have any Corydoras? A. Is that a bird or a fish?
How big do those Iridescent Sharks get? A. Only four or five inches, and they only grow to the size of tank you put them in.
I have a 10 gallon tank. Can you suggest some fish for it?
You can imagine the answers I got on that one.
The problem I have with the chains is they give totally inaccurate information to new or novice fish keepers, resulting in confusion of the fishkeeper as why Fish A swallowed Fish B when the chain told me they'd get along fine.
You and I know what's what in the realm of fishkeeping. Personally, I've been keeping fish for 35 years, and haven't had to battle disease in the last 25 of it. I'm a writer by profession, and one of the things I write are on aquariums, and aquarium keeping. The vast majority don't know, and as very few people actually read a book and do research before buying a fish, they are chickens ripe for the pluckin' at the chains, to the woe of the buyer and the fish.
By the way, my favorite fish store was in Jonesboro, 'til the roof caved in during one of those wonderful ice storms that I'm sure you've experienced.
i thought 3/10 was a pretty fair and accurate rating... are you in northeast arkansas? have you been to the jonesboro petco? if the answer is yes then i'd like to chat sometime and see where you get fish / plants, and invite you into the Mid-South Aquarium Society thingy i'm trying to start... if not, then how can you say that petco deserves a lower OR higher score? granted they are a chain, but each one has a totally different aquatics manager that is in charge of maintenance and fish care, and some of them do pretty well considering what they're given to work with.
Its all I can do not to climb onto the soapbox and go into a serious rant about the irresponsibilty and fish abuse at CoPet and Petsdumb. Jeez Ogsy, how could you give 'em 3 points lol?
stores in northeast arkansas
I'll start with a ranking, and then a brief description of each...
1. Best Pets - 3915 E Nettleton Ave - (870) 802-3554 Jonesboro, AR *8/10*
2. Tropical Adventure - 211 S Pruett St - (870) 240-0100 Paragould, AR *8/10*
3. Tropical Paradise - 3415 East Highland Dr - (870) 910-5165 Jonesboro, AR *6/10*
4. Petco - 1211 S Caraway Rd - (870) 931-6404 Jonesboro, AR *3/10*
* Kermit's Reef - 8551 Macon Road (901) 755-8033 Cordova, TN
a little over 1hr drive from Jonesboro, right outside Memphis, but well worth it. Nice live plant tank, great FW selection, and FANTASTIC saltwater selection with the largest collection of corals, anenomes, etc. I've ever seen *9/10*
1. Best Pets: This is my favorite LFS for several reasons. This store is clean, large, well stocked, and everything is priced fairly. I don't know if I've ever seen a dirty tank or dead fish. I've seen the occasional ich outbreak, but the tank is always medicated and labeled "NOT FOR SALE". All tanks are separate, which means when an occasional illness does break out, it's limited to the single tank in most cases. Good saltwater selection with 3-5 pieces of live rock in each tank (from 5-25 lbs) when well stocked. Great selection of corals, anenomes, etc.
Staff at the store is above average. The owner is usually around, and he is very knowledgable about most areas of fishkeeping. I've only know of 2 other people who work there, and both were women in their late 20s - early 30's and were so-so in the knowledge department. I never heard incorrect or irresponsible advice, but on several occasions their answer was simply "umm.. i dunno." On occasion one of them will actually seek me out and ask me to help the customer. Quite the compliment, but a little disappointing.
Overall I'd give the store a score of 8 out of 10. Great fish, great supplies, decent prices, above average staff. Only drawbacks are limits on livestock variety (can be expected in a smaller market) and hours (10-5:30) that make it very tricky to make it on weekdays if working a 9-5 job.
2. Tropical Adventure: It should be noted at the beginning of this review that it is owned and run by the same couple as Best Pets. In every area it is equal to their Jonesboro location, with the exception of a better live plant selection the 5 or 6 times I've stopped by. The only reason I ranked it below Best Pets is that it's a 30 minute drive from my house, whereas Best Pets is only 8. This store has the same positives and negatives, with an overall score of 8 of 10.
3. Sailor's Tropical Paradise: This store is the one I visit most frequently besides #1. Tanks are usually in good - great shape, but dead fish in tanks and algae / dead plants drop the aesthetics to average. Selection of fish is fair, almost always including fish not found at other local stores. However, there are also fish that they rarely / never stock. On the plus side, it's the only local store that regularly stocks Kribensis, Yellow Labidochromis, and African Butterflyfish. Other notable finds include clown, bristlenose, and peppermint plecos. Large freshwater fish selection, but limited corals, etc.
Overall the store is good, with lots of reasons to visit occasionally, but certain drawbacks keep it form being the store i frequent most. Live plant tank is a disaster with the exception of the occasional java moss clump that fairs well after being de-snailed and rinsed clean. Prices on equipment, decorations, etc. are steep. I understand that a small business can't always compete with chains like Pet(co)/(smart), but prices 50+% above theirs on every single item makes it hard to justify. Especially considering the other locally own store in town is 2 blocks away and more reasonably priced. Livestock is also a bit pricey in some cases, but fair to even cheapest in town in others. For example, the blue rams (sometimes Bolivian Rams that are mislabled) are a good $4-5 more than Best Pets. However, Zebra Danios or Neon Tetras are usually the best deal in town. I've also overheard some really *bad* advice given to customers on more than one occasion. Overall score of 6 out of 10 for listed reasons.
Petco: Last of the pack for all the usual reasons. Fair/below average selection (seriously, could they overstock livebearers and understock cichlids any more dramatically?) Decent saltwater selection *when* the fish are healthy, but corals/live rock/anenomes are conspicously absent. I don't know that I've ever been in the store that the aquatics department didn't need some serious work. Freshwater tanks are almost always experiencing outbreaks of diseased or weakened fish. Planted tank is the worst in the area by far. It is algae covered, full of dead pond comets / koi on most days (do they not realize that goldfish EAT live plants vigorously?), and almost always stocked with non-aquatic plants. For a chain, the staples of fishkeeping are egregiously understocked. No hydrometers, short stock of test kits, hit or miss selection of freeze dried foods, poor selection of filter media (almost always sold out of filter floss), and too many bowls / vases and not enough tanks top the list of offenses.
Most problems stem from the typical corporation approach to pet store management. Understaffing leads to dirty tanks / sick fish, which leads to decreased business, angry customers, and dissatisfied, overworked employeees, which leads to a loss of knowledgable staff and replacement with high school/college kids with *no* knowledge of fishkeeping, or any other area they might be assigned to, which starts the cycle over again the the tanks continously degenerating until finally someone is forced to stay late or come in early to do a MAJOR overhaul, culling vast numbers of fish, treating the rest with stout meds, and leaving the fish "NOT FOR SALE" and small in numbers for several weeks until the next shipment of 10,000 swordtails and 86,000 mollies arrive, pooping the system back into nitrite/trate overload, algae outbreaks, and fish dieoffs all over again. Overall score 3 out of 10. The only reason to visit is to get dry food, saltwater mix, and the occasional odd and end accessory like a new net or gravel vac.
Hope this helps somebody in some way eventually...

Let's share thoughts.I have already confessed my love for all those American ladies who have spun their majesty on the ice. Truthfully, though, my love for the sport transcends borders. Like many fans (and every guy I know), I fell hard for the East German star Katarina Witt in the 1980s. And the Ukrainian waif Oksana Baiul captivated me in the 1990s. Now I've got a feeling that we're all destined to fall under Ms. Kim's spell.

Does anyone know of an add on that will show my a numerical display of my Feral Druid's energy? I don't really want an energy bar as such, just the actual number (amount) of energy I have at any time in a format that's easy to see and can moved about on my screen. I do use Power Auras, so if anyone does know if that can done via PA, please also let me know.
Anyway, from what I can tell most swing timers are disabled for dual wielding. Tested Quartz and AzCastBar swing timers, and they won't work while dual wielding. Can't seem to find a swing timer that supports dual wield and is up to date.
Hello everyone,
I was looking through a bunch of old wow screenshots and came across this old UI i used back in wrath. I can't remember the name of the addon that i used for the spray paint sort of look behind all of my action bars and on the edges of the screen, etc. Does anyone know what it is called? or if it is updated for 5.0?
Thanks for any help!

Hey all.
Redoing my Unit Frames in Pitbull, and wanted my health text to be class colored based on Unit type.
In the custom LUA area, I've been trying:
local r,g,b = ClassColor(unit)
return VeryShort(HP(unit))
However, it's not changing to the appropriate class color, only staying white.
Additionally, I'm also attempting to color my energy bar by energy type: Rage, Energy, Mana, etc.
Currently It's set with:
return"%s", Short(Power(unit),true)
Thanks for any help, and for your time!
Code:local r,g,b = ClassColor(unit) return ("\124cff%.02x%.02x%.02x%s\124r"):format(r*255,g*255,b*255,VeryShort(HP(unit)))Code:local r,g,b = select(3,UnitPowerType(unit)) return ("\124cff%.02x%.02x%.02x%s\124r"):format(r*255,g*255,b*255,Short(Power(unit),true))

Anyone know of an updated font addon? Looking to change the whole UI font, not just chat text or specific player frame text. Example: default NPC name font, quest log, text on items. I believe fontain used to do something like this but it doesn't seem to be working correctly and oudated. I also tried creating the <wowdirectory>/fonts folder and renaming my desired font to the wow font, but that doesn't seem to work either.
EDIT: looks like fontain is editing everything but default NPC name plates?

I imported these in to Pitbull a moment ago. The first isn't working. It makes all texts disappear due to an error somehow.
The second does, in fact, change the power font color, but it unfortunately changes it to what appears to be black. Edit: I noticed now that on my previous post, I didn't specify the font, not the bar. >.< Any other workarounds you might suggest?
@Tygera: Fonter is great for this. http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/fonter

Hm, that's wierd. Could you post the errors, please?
Any suggestions for an addon to bind spells without placing them on action bars? Right now I'm using bindpad, but it has some conflicts with clique and has been generally acting out (like binds just decide to stop working midfight).
This one I tried first:
Bugcatcher did not give me a LUA error code however in the chat window. Just the text in the frame.local r,g,b = ClassColor(unit)
return ("\124cff%.02x%.02x%.02x%s\124r"):format(r*255,g*255,b*255,VeryShort(HP(unit)))
Just tried the second as well, and exact same thing happened. It did, however, post some LUA errors on startup, before I attempted to paste in the LUA codes you gave me. I'll relog and copy the chat log to see if there's applicable errors involved.
Edit: List of the bugs on startup:
The first bug is:
Second Bug is:5x PitBull4_HideBlizzard-v4.0.0-beta40\HideBlizzard.lua:133: attempt to index global "CompactRaidFrameManager" (a nil value)

I am currently fixing up my UI and testing out various addons. I am currently in the need of an addon that can manipulate/alter the appearance of my experience/reputation bars. Would anyone know of an addon that could do this?
Not sure if they are still working tho.
How can I make Gnosis cast bars count up rather than count down.
Example: Cast starts at 1.29 and ends at 0. I want it to start at 0 and count up to 1.29

I guess some do not understand the "laws" dealing with "public record" and "freedom of information" -- so I repeat myself -- There are still those that remind me of the old quote "don't bother me with the facts, my mind is already made up".
There was nothing said by this inspector other than, (1) SippyBees and Major stated the truth, (2) I will not speak specifics on a case, and (3) that "public record" documentation was sent to Barry since he is the moderator of the thread that has been involved.
Maybe some are unfamiliar with the terms "public record" and "freedom of information" as they pertain to the individual citizens, which also includes state employees. Those that know me personally and others that have dealt with me during business know how I stand (almost on a soapbox) about government in our lives. However, they also know that certain laws are needed to protect everyone. I have the duty to regulate some of those laws and I take it seriously. This thread has started down the same road others have and that is the reason I speak up. I will, however do as I have in the past and that is not address specifics in a case, but let me be clear, once a case has gone through the court system and settled it becomes "public record" and covered under "freedom of information". in most all states.

Since genomics burst onto the scene in 2008, the dairy genetics sector has been under constant flux. This seismic change brought on by genomics caused some leaders to investigate a new long-term approach to ensure that critical herd information flows into the data collection system so U.S. genetic evaluations can be accurately calculated far into the future.
Adding to the concern about data quality and quantity is the fact some industry segments could reduce or even discontinue funding data collection and simply rely on genomic evaluations. While this may be attractive short-term, genetic evaluation quality would erode without updated phenotypic data.
As these concerns unfolded, USDA officials who conduct genetic evaluations recognized a need to update the agreements with the industry. These potential updates would accommodate new participants and enable the industry to assume operational control over the database. With the explosion of effort involved in running data, there is a need to enable the industry to assume responsibility for more of the "service component" and allow AIPL to focus on research and development. Genetic evaluations fit into the service work category, and a new model is needed for genetic calculations. Part of that new model could include transferring the responsibility for calculating the genetic merit values from the industry's genetic database to a private industry consortium.
Developing a new agreement
With that as a backdrop, a healthy and interactive discussion over the progress of these investigations took place during the biannual gathering of the Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding on October 25 in Milwaukee, Wis. Much of the meeting centered on further developing a new nonfunded Cooperative Agreement (CA) between the shareholders in the U.S. dairy genetics community and USDA's Agricultural Research Service and its Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory (AIPL). It is AIPL which currently conducts a wide array of genetic research which results in U.S. genetic evaluations.
At this October's gathering were the usual Council of Dairy Cattle Breeding representatives who serve as advisors to USDA. They included voting members from the three major players: the National Association of Animal Breeders (A.I. companies), Purebred Dairy Cattle Association (breed associations), and dairy record providers (milk testing organizations). Also at the meeting were representatives from USDA's Agricultural Research Service and some other industry partners.
Topic dominated meeting
As the meeting unfolded, the majority of the discussion focused on a new CA which has been in various stages of development.
Two years ago, the Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding agreed to form a subcommittee to discuss and potentially develop a new long-term business structure to deliver genetic evaluations. That committee, known formally as the Dairy Data Working Group, came up with a series of industry-based recommendations that led to a formal draft of a new CA between USDA and the dairy genetics community.
As the draft of this new agreement took form, many breeders at the grass-roots level (who have supported information flow and depend on genetics sales for part of their income) have been unable to review original documents developed by the Council's committee and USDA. Instead, breeders have had to rely on various reports from different industry segments. As readers may recall, the brevity of the last Council meetings and lack of transparency on the group's activity was discussed in a July 2011 editorial on page 454.
This lack of public discussion has some in the industry concerned about current developments. Those with concerns point to the fact that when USDA developed a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement in 2008 with some members of the genetic industry, a moratorium was placed on the release of male genetic evaluations until April 2013. The moratorium only allowed members of NAAB that contributed to the Cooperative DNA Repository to access male genomic evaluations. Under the confidential five-year technology transfer agreement, it was decided those group members contributed vital genetic data to significantly enhance genetic evaluations.
The type of agreement that took place in 2008 between USDA and NAAB is not new. For decades, USDA has conducted research on a variety of agricultural issues. When solutions are developed, USDA routinely enters into technology transfer agreements that enable the research to move into the marketplace. The process does not allow an open and broad-based public discussion. It has to be confidential. What makes the current discussions different from those in 2008 is these talks involve transferring the responsibility of calculating genetic merit from the USDA to an industry consortium. It will be up to this group to establish access policies to the genetic merit values.
The need for transparency
Joining this October's Council meeting was Steven Kappes, deputy administrator for USDA's Agricultural Research Service. He oversees activity at AIPL which has calculated U.S. genetic evaluations for decades. Kappes shed light on future negotiations to reach a long-term agreement.
"Our goal is to have a new Cooperative Agreement (CA) in place by next July," said Kappes. "If it takes more time, we are willing to do it. However, there has to be enough time so the process can be open and transparent," he said.
"There is no reason this process should not be public. People want to see the details," he explained.
At the same time the CA between the Council and USDA is being developed, another Council committee is working on the Business Plan. Known as the Business Plan Working Group, Council leaders on this committee are hashing out details on how to fund future genetic evaluations. Factors such as past and future contributions, both data and financial, are being considered by the committee. Making this issue more difficult to resolve is the fact the group must ensure that new information flows into the system to recalibrate genomic evaluations. The Business Plan Working Group is comprised of six members with equal representation from breed associations, A.I. companies, and dairy records centers.
After two years of investigation, progress on both agreements has stalled somewhat. In part, this is because key details have not been fully developed and presented for public review. That led some U.S. senators and representatives to write letters to the Secretary of Agriculture questioning the process.
"When we get letters from senators, the Secretary of Agriculture takes them very seriously," said USDA's Kappes. "Before we turn over the responsibility of calculating genetic merit, we must have the majority of the industry in agreement."
Separate but simultaneous
How to move forward became a theme as the Council meeting continued on October 25. Many questioned whether the CA or Business Plan needed to be completed first.
"Legally, the Cooperative Agreement (CA) between the USDA and the industry and the Business Agreement within the industry are separate activities," noted Kappes. "USDA cannot get involved in private business matters. But, in reality, they must be worked on together," he suggested.
Some in the industry have asked why the USDA can't continue to run genetic evaluations. The short answer is USDA has funding to conduct research, not service projects.
"Because we have been productive with research, it has allowed us to provide more service work than we probably should have done," said AIPL's Duane Norman. "That cannot continue in the future."
Together, but separate
As Council discussion wrapped up, industry leaders gathered some consensus. It is the group's goal to have a Business Plan complete by April 2012 while the CA would be completed by July 2012. At that point, each stakeholder would have to decide to accept or reject it.
During the dialogue, all in attendance agreed that these formal documents, along with some explanation, should be on the Council of Dairy Cattle Breeding website along with other industry outlets for complete visibility, transparency, and industry review. Every dairy producer who chooses to review the documents will have an opportunity to review original versions, including the financial details of the Business Plan. It was also agreed that the Business Plan needs to be agreed upon by the industry before the Cooperative Agreement will be signed by USDA.
Towards the end of the meeting, American Jersey Cattle Association executive secretary Neal Smith summed up the meeting, "Change is hard. Genomics has certainly changed the game. Our vision is to have a better system for producers."
In closing comments, USDA's Kappes reminded those attending the meeting, "From some questions I have heard, we haven't communicated well enough. We need to do better before we can finalize the Cooperative and Business Agreement."
"When there is push back, ARS and USDA pays attention," says Kappes. "In the end, this agreement needs to represent the entire industry."

Fine craftsmanship and finesse are nothing new at the Institute of Contemporary Art, though usually they're contained within the Seaport District's monolithic museum. But Saturday, under a sunny late-summer sky, all eyes were on the outside of the glass façade, taking in the spectacle of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, plunging into the Boston Harbor for the second year in a row. It was the only North American stop on the seven-date tour, which routinely travels to such exotic locales as Corsica and the volcanic shores of the Portuguese Azores Islands. The event was met with enthusiasm by an audience of 47,000 onlookers gathered at Fan Pier, nearly twice the amount that came out last year.
>> SLIDESHOW: Red Bull Cliff Diving <<
"It was truly amazing," marveled four-time Olympic gold medalist Greg Louganis afterward. "It was so nice to see so many people show up; it really is an exciting event."
Louganis was one of the judges for the World Series, which involved 13 divers launching themselves off the ICA from a platform eight stories (about 90 feet) high, into the Charles River. The UK's Gary Hunt came in first, followed by Colombia's Orlando Duque and Michigan's David Colturi. While not as well-known in the diving community as more mainstream Olympic events, cliff diving generates interest that's a boon for the sport, says Louganis.
"We're in a tough space in diving because so many of the pools are getting shut down and a lot of the kids aren't being exposed to diving," he says. "Our success at the Olympics, starting with the women's silver medal and synchro getting two bronze, and culminating in David Boudia's gold medal — it really brings a lot of attention and focus onto where kids might have an interest and say, 'Mom, Dad, I want to try this stuff.'
