One of the keys to the salvation of the 400-plus jobs at the Old Town Georgia-Pacific paper mill was supposed to be the installation of a new biomass boiler to generate the mill's electricity and lower its costs. The jobs were lost May 15 when the mill shut down after Governor John Baldacci failed to find a buyer for the facility.
But the boiler, it turns out, hasn't worked correctly since it was fired up a year ago, according to state officials. It was not given a state permit to go into full operation, and would need to be fixed at a cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars before it could contribute to making the mill economically viable, officials say.
G-P's spokesman, Robert Burns, while admitting the need to "continue to improve the efficiency of the boiler," says the boiler was "operating in compliance with start-up permits with the state." He would not directly answer the question: Does the boiler need to be fixed?
The intent was for it to burn cheap construction and demolition debris wood chips, which alarmed local environmental activists because that often releases poisons like dioxin and arsenic. (See "Toxinland," by Lance Tapley, May 12.) But the boiler has not been able to pass state Department of Environmental Protection smokestack pollution tests even when it burns clean chips, says the DEP, because it produces too much carbon monoxide.
In an elaborate save-the-mill deal in 2003, after G-P shut it down for the first time, Baldacci arranged for the state to pay G-P $26 million to acquire its big Old Town waste dump, which the state then leased for that sum for 30 years to regional giant Casella Waste Systems—an extremely low price, according to critics. (See "Dumping Ground," by Alex Irvine, April 2, 2004.) G-P then bought the boiler second-hand from a closed Boralex biomass plant in Athens. But G-P "bought something that needed to be fixed," says DEP commissioner David Littell. "I've called their senior people and said 'fix your boiler,'" but at a time when the corporation was getting rid of the mill he wasn't able to develop much interest.
Littell says that "there are other issues on the air [pollution] side" that are even bigger, having to do with the mill's pulp processes. Burns, the G-P public relations man, responds, "We're in compliance in that area as well."
Paul Schroeder, of We the People, a Bangor-area citizen activist group, is disgusted with every aspect of the save-the-mill deal. The only winner, he says, is Casella, which is "making out like a bandit" by opening a landfill that, under state law, the company would not have been able to have by any other means. (See "Enviro Update," by Alex Irvine, February 11, 2005.)
The governor's spokeswoman, Crystal Canney, says the malfunctioning boiler is "not a sticking point on the sale." Negotiations between G-P and a potential buyer for the mill are continuing, she says, beyond the May 15 shutdown deadline G-P had set in March when it announced the mill's closure.

Posted by Gordon Barnett on October 25, 2012
It is that dreaded time of year again where we have to report via the performance management system (PMS) on our individual performance and the value we bring to the organization. I say dreaded, because we all know that in reality the goals and objectives were set some time ago in the past, maybe a year ago, and a lot has happened since that time. The person you report to may have changed, you were redirected to other tasks, and so on. Everything seemed possible at the time of the objective setting, but now the reality hits that you were or may have been far too optimistic about your own capability. The self-assessment is difficult as you are not sure whether your manager has the same view as you. You believe you met the objective, but does their expectation meet your actual delivery? If a good performance relates to more money, the pressure and stress builds.
So whilst I was preparing for my Orlando Business Architecture Forum presentation I started to think about how business architecture teams measure and manage their performance. One of my next reports for Forrester's business architecture playbook addresses BA performance. It was also a hot topic for the EA Council members in Orlando. I had a number of 1-on-1's with clients who particularly asked about BA metrics and performance — in particular, "What do other business architecture teams do?"
I started listing the questions that, when answered by clients, would lead to a very valuable report for all BA leaders:
Do you measure your BA's performance? Clients often advise me that they have fairly mature BA practices. However, very few can articulate how they measure their performance, and often comment that the business asks them to demonstrate how BA adds value. So, it would be useful to understand whether BA leaders measure their team's performance and why they do or don't.

Im Lonely - Poem by katelin offord harper
I am all alone
In this dark creepy room
With no one to hold me tight or keep me safe
I see through the dark and scary night
When no one is looking or even breathing
I cry myself to sleep and I cry the light out of my mind or try to forget it
Whats wrong with me am I that scary or is it because of my darkness
I feel so lonely and confused
If no one wants me here then there is just one question
Why am I here in such a dark room?
All locked up by myself
Did I do something wrong
Is there something wrong with me
I am so lonely

Road Track Rally - Time Attack X
So, it all started with a Silver Evo X GSR 5 speed of my business partners, the idea was for him to have a safe and reliable car to do tracks days with as well as a daily driver, but of course we all know how long that was going to last. Just to make things clear, this is not my car however Ive been integral in it's role since day one and for what it's worth it's a car that is now our shop car for our business. Hopefully that makes sense.
The car was bought 2nd hand, it was a dealer demonstrator model with very low kilometers. At the time it had an ECUtek flash, a HKS cat back exhaust and some Ralliart Mud flaps with chrome trims. (baller)
Of course all those things were removed promptly. We replaced the HKS cat back exhaust with a TurboXS 3" turbo back and the only decent Dump pipe (at that time) was the HKS cast dump pipe for us right hookers. We blasted off the ECUtek rubbish and remapped the ECU, replaced the springs with a firm progressive rate spring package, replaced with foglights with the RS foglight delete kit to get more air on the face of the oil cooler. (good idea for SS-T owners because the SS-T cooler is on the other side) Replaced the pads with a Pagid RS19, changed the brake fluid to a Castrol SRF, removed the backing plates off the front rotors and finally fitted some brake cooling scoops on the bottom of the lower control arms.
Happy Days, so we did a few track days with the car.
(For the trainspotters out there, yes that is Mt. Panorama at the famous Bathurst Race Track)
The car was brilliant, a good tune, decent pads and springs and an exhaust is about where most Evo X owners should be in my opinion. Power, handling and brakes all upgraded and supporting each other. It's a good balance.
So the next round of parts was on the cards, and like most people it always seems to start with chasing more power and adding bolt on's like manifolds etc. I won't bore you all with a shopping list of parts, I'm sure you've heard and read it all before, and needless to say ours wasn't anything different. The usual AMS this, Grimspeed that etc.
It's from around this time or just after I took a little more control and interest in this particular car as I could see it morphing before my eyes. The car was now quick, very quick! It fast and powerful enough to get you into trouble and since this car was at a race circuit somewhere around Australia at least every month we needed to make it safe so...
I didn't realise at the time that this wouldn't be the last time I would be seeing this car stripped like this...Hindsight's a wonderful thing right?
More Roll Cage Photos:
It's a CAMS approved cold drawn steel Bolt in roll cage. Now while Bolt in's aren't the optimum choice available, there were solid reasons why we went down this path. The number one reasons is that this particular roll cage is very comprehensive and added to that it's road legal in the state where we live. Secondly, it's a bolt in - bolt out arrangement so if the car ever gets sold you could unbolt it and sell it without an issue. You could even just bolt it in for an event then un-bolt it, but in the real world that will never happen. We are just all too busy.
Driving interstate to Lakeside:
So, after a few more trips to different circuits the car was signwritten and used to promote my business partners other business. Nothing like offsetting income tax with motorsport eh?
By this stage we couldn't count how many times it had been to the track. It was a fast, SAFE and enjoyable car both on and off the road, and it had an outing any chance we could get.
We had some Aero Fitted and made a few other smaller changes to the car, even had the guards rolled a little.
It was at that the Evo Nationals at Eastern Creek that we killed the clutch, which was at that time still stock. Yes, that's right dead bone stock! I must point out at this time something that is really important.
My business partner is really easy on the car, he is all and all, a smooth drive. He has never launched the car and even though he had done over 40,000km's in the car, and been to a few score circuit events, he still had the stock Clutch Master Cylinder and Stock Clutch operating without issues.
Now that car had been operating at just under the 400whp mark (we talk in kW here in Australia, but to make it easier to understand I'll convert things for you) for quite some time, and it was only with the help of a fuel change and retune to 465whp that the stock clutch gave up. Who would have thought that 465whp would have stretched the friendship of the factory clutch.
So we changed that for an exedy twin plate hyper multi and went on our way.
So both car and co. came back from Eastern Creek realising something more had to happen and it's at this point we turned a corner.
I was at the time working at Team Mistubishi Ralliart (kinda why the car was what it was really ) and circumstances had let me start my own business together with my business partner doing our thing, basically building and tuning Evo's. Although we do have other cars in the workshop occasionally, and that's the last you'll hear about that from me because of forum rules and etiquette I won't discuss it any further out of respect, but it still is part of the story, not trying to do stealthy vending here. (plus, I'm in Australia for crying out loud!)
So, we started up shop and turned our attention to the car once again. First things first, we needed to pull some weight out of the car. I guess coming from a motorsport background, to me adding more power isn't always a good thing. As the old saying goes, add power you'll be faster on the straights, remove weight and you'll be faster everywhere!
That's what you get after using some dry ice to lift the sound deadener off the floor, a plastic crate with about 10kg's of tar and deadener. Of course with all that weight gone and just bare floors without carpet, it needed a spruce up so I tidied that up.
In case you are wondering what the holes are for on the passenger floor footwell, The big ones to the left are for the roll cage, there are some large plates that locate up underneath the car that support the leading roll bar down to the floor foot plates. The smaller ones to the lower right are for the fire extinguisher.
Now while we were preparing the body, we are also building two engines for this car, a 2.0 and a 2.2 litre. This is the trial fitment of what we are up to at present. Seems to all be okay, but you have to go through this when getting parts out of America. (when will you people start driving on the correct side of the car!)
And the rest of the car is having everything removed and inspected. (replaced if necessary)

Now, I should at this stage point out what we are aiming to do with the car. Our aim is for the world time attack series when it comes to Australia again next year, as usual Eastern Creek is to be the Venue and we are going to compete in clubsprint class, so while we are removing weight as per the rules, there will be quite a lot of weight going back in the car, we even have to run on road tyres!
Clubsprint Class rules are as follows:
Fitting the Magnus CMS isn't as straight forward for RHD vehicles, so while we have the dash and engine out it's a dead easy job.
So back to the engine build, and it's here that we came across a few suprizes. Firstly standard OEM rings gaps were average at best, this one was the worst offender. This explains the blow by that from time to time the car displayed. Seriously Mitsubishi, what are you doing...
And rods being bent suprized me, honestly the car was showing no signs or symptoms AT ALL to suggest what we found with the rods. It makes you shudder to think just how close we were to the thing going bang! It also bears testiment to how good the 4B11 is in stock form. In thinking back we reckon it would have done a few track days like this.
So after removing a tonne of weight from the car inside and out, it was time to start putting humpty dumpty back together again, at least on the inside. So, the dash went back in with the a few other bits and pieces. The seat is yet to go back in and the wheel still needs to be changed over for the new wheel and quick release.
Fuel system
Rear bulk head panel is in, and a clean up of the wiring loom
So now the car is in the workshop just waiting for it's vinyl wrap. We had to remove the previous vinyl for the wrap that is set to come, of course everything had to come off the car like the lights, indicators, door handles etc. And we had to clay bar the car just to make sure everything is ready for the wrap.
I have a heap more things that haven't covered yet like the brake upgrades that I lightly touched on earlier in this thread. Then there is the transfer and gearbox rebuild, the suspension and bushings, the fuel system, the seat, harness, wheel and quick release so on and so on. Hopefully this will help others out there trying to achieve the same or similar things.
Okay, so an update on where we are at currently. Been pretty busy at present with plenty of customers in the shop for vehicle servicing, motorsport prep and tuning. Almost collecting the set here with an Evo 6.5 TME, a VII, VIII MR, IX and a few X's.
With self imposed deadlines fast approaching, and we have a race at the end of October we believe would be a good test for us in preparation for the Time Attack series, we have our work cut out for us, all we need to do is Build an engine, gearbox, transfer. Then replace all the bushes, replace all the fluids, vinyl wrap the car, fit the seat and cage, steering wheel, tune the car and do some testing before this race we have planned at the end of October. Two weeks is all we have, so it'll be a few late nights I'd reckon.
In earlier posts I have glossed over the parts we have been fitting, only because it's the same thing that everyone else fits, but since I'm basically creating a Diary about this car, I may as well post up what is going back in the car, and more importantly why! First on the list is the seat. We've gone for a lightweight seat with head protection and I think that speaks for itself, and because the car has multiple drivers it has a slider as well. These pics just show the final test fitment before we start bolting the seat in. Half of the roll cage was installed back in the car just to make sure we have enough clearance, and all seems well in the world as you'll see from these pics.

More of the seat fitment:
So now it's just re-installation of the roll cage and fitting up the new ultra light weight 6 point harness.
As for the engine build, it's pretty much just a tidy up of the 2.0 stock block that was in the car. After the piston fiasco we had along with the bent rods, what seemed like the best thing to do was rebuild the stock motor and get the thing running again, It's what I'd call a tickle over with new pistons, pins, rods, springs and retainers, bearings and a light hone plus a few other basic housekeeping items. We do have a stroker on it's way after all, and I'm only chasing 500whp with the stock block, so all should be good in the world with what we are doing with the stock 2.0 litre engine.
Now, because the car will no longer be driven on the road (although it will still keep it's road registration) as it'll just be horrible, we are replacing all the bushes in the car, from the front and rear engine roll stoppers, trans mounts, all of the suspension, gearbox and diff bushing. Personally, I believe this will make a massive difference to the car, and it's only with all of that fitted we will be able to use see the full potential of the suspension we have.
Next on the list is a 76.c competition Thermostat. Although we don't have a heat issue, this is a good safeguard with what we are doing, it's more of a 'ticking all the boxes' exercise in a motorsport application.
Next is the Works Bell Rapfix II quick release hub and short boss kit. We haven't settled on a steering wheel yet for a few reasons, namely because we haven't found one we like as well as not being able to find one with the required amount of dish needed. Just on the Rapfix II quick release, I cannot stress enough how damn nice this unit is. Pictures don't do it any justice, it's a well made bit of gear... That you can be sure of.
Now the gearbox is 100% stock, and as good as the standard gearbox is... it simply wasn't designed to run twice the Hp and Torque (or more) that we have been running. So it was no suprize to me to find that the box being a little 'graunchy' getting into the third and forth actually means we needed all of these parts to re-instate it.
Should be a good thing after we pull out the rooted stuff and whack all those parts back in, this time though we will be running a transmission cooler and a different spec of fluid, plus there are some stealthy tweaks we have made when putting the box back together again. It'll be better than when it was brand new off the showroom floor and more robust to take the Torque. Ideally though, a dog box would have been the first option for us and we will do that next time.
And now for something really fancy, a Ralliart Supertraction front diff. Time to pull the transfer apart!
Okay, so yet another update on RTR TA-1
Humpty Dumpty is going back together, but we have found something interesting. Our car is an 08' model but we had an MY11 come in to the shop for camshafts, what we found is the older spec runs a chain guide on the top whereas the later spec does not. Have a look at this:
Anyway, it's just another thing to stick into the memory bank. On to the vinyl Wrap, started out this morning and so far it's looking pretty darn good I reckon, then again I am bias.
Trial fit of wheels
Engine has now been finished, and while it's not a bad thing, we do have a 2.2 litre coming so this was just a tidy up of the standard engine after the findings of bent rods and the rubbish rings. The idea of having the 2.0 engine means that we can use for regulatory motorsport events where a stroker is not permitted, so now all we will have to do is unbolt the big turbo and manifold and whack on the standard parts, then we will be legal for a Tarmac Rally event or production car racing which requires standard engine and turbo configuration, albeit with the a few other minor changes to the car like the removal of the rear wing and fit the standard one.
Basic specs:
So this week coming it's Engine, Gearbox and Transfer all back in the car, systems check with the MUT3, basic tune then the engine run in procedure. Spanner check of everything then off we go to do a shakedown at a local race circuit.
I did promise some more updates but the team has been so busy it's hard to think of all the things we've done in the last few days. All the stickers have been applied, fluids have have a bleed and now everything is back together. We even ran the engine for the first time this morning, and as far as reports go all good, currently we are still breaking in the engine and it's going to take a while given our procedure we have in place. The goods news is with the resting periods that the engine gets during run in we had some time to square away a few things. Two hooks are on front a rear although we didn't go down the path of the usual tow hook but rather a tow strap. I'm a big fan of these, lightweight, strong and hard to hook up to another car.
Then we started to tidy up the rear of the car which is pretty much finished.
Just a few basic things like some protection strips to the roll cage to prevent paint chipping when the seat buckles are undone and lets face it, green IS the new black.
Finally the interior is fully squared away, took some time to get where we are, but the finished product isn't bad, infact it's not to removed from what a normal road car is like, again we aren't entering in a class like unlimited, it's clubsprint class where the car has to remain road registered and I reckon we are sitting right on the fence with that one! Steering wheel is on with it's quick release, belts have been adjusted for the the driver(s) and we've done a systems check with a glowing report, infact it was kind of funny. We hooked up our MUT3 to the car and I'm sorry to say we did get 30 codes! All of those codes however are relating to having systems removed from the car, we cleared the codes yet one stayed... we do have a DTC relating to a CAN timeout for the Audio system.
All in all very happy with the way the car has been turned out, and with just the remainder of the engine run in to do, it's off to the racetrack tomorrow for a test and tune.

Here is the finished product of 'the office'
So, it's finished save some house keeping on the car.
Note: Wheels and Rubber are for transport duties only.
As for tyres, this is what are running currently.
Having run back to back tests against the Yokohama AO50's (yokies being the current benchmark) we were quite happy to find the Hankooks on par. Of course we cannot use these in clubsprint class at world time attack as we have to use road rubber (we'll use the Hankook RS3) we have found them to be a brilliant time attack styled tyre, plus it helps when you run a tyre in a 295/35R18.
It's a shame you blokes stateside cant get Hankook motorsport tyres, they really are good things. Plus their sizes are 'generous' to say the least. As an example here is what Hankook call a 235/40R18 infront of the OEM Dunlop which are a 245/40R18.
Notice any difference?
Moving forward the next thing for us is to remove some weight, while we cannot run these doors in World Time Attack clubsprint class they should prove to be a nice weight saver, and I have to say Seibon do make great carbon gear.
It's been a long time between updates, but then not much has happened. We've been very busy with preparing customers cars, so much so that we havent had much time for our own car. But this week we are taking time out with preparing both our Evo X and our Golf R. We have a two day event this weekend coming at Winton Raceway, it's just a club run circuit day but the track is demaning and very technical and it provides plenty of data for us. We have had some difficulty in recent times, namely heat issues with water temps starting to get a little high, enough for us to take notice of things. It was from that point a larger radiator was fitted.
Big difference between the stock Radiator and this koyo.
Again we went to the race track to do some more testing and temps have come back down to a more managable level. Happy Days!
From there it's all about Tyre pressures, they are just so damn imporatnt and when you are down to chasing half a PSI you simply need the right tools. If I'm honest I did get a little bit excited when this arrived in the mail late last week.
So today was about getting the fuel lines in a better shape than the were before and to fit the boomba fuel rail which has been on the shelf for a while now, so today was pretty preductive even as I right this now at 6:00pm there are still things being carried out on Stickers. (that's what we've called her since she is covered in Vinyl)
From there it's been about turning the cardboard templates we've test fitted ( the templates aid airflow across all of the cars coolers ) into more permanent arrangements.
Tomorrow it'll be fitting up the new brakes. Fun times.
So tomorrow has come and it's brake fitting time. To give you an idea of how much of a difference there is between the Alcon rotors and PFC's we had fitted, here is a few photos:
Nice huh.

st: update qenv available from SSC
Mon, 8 Apr 2013 11:38:32 +0200
Thanks to Kit Baum an updated version of the -qenv- package is now
available from SSC.
The -qenv- package is written by me and Nick Cox and contains programs
that each generate two numeric variables for later plotting on a
quantile-quantile plot that define an envelope of low and high
expectations for each quantile given repeated sampling from a
specified distribution with the same number of values and same
parameter values as the data specified. The programs are helper
programs designed for use with -qplot-, which must be installed
The package is changed in the following ways:
In addition to supporting the normal and gamma distribution, -qenv-
now supports the computation of reference regions for the chi-square,
F, and beta distributions by adding the -qenvchi2-, -qenvF- and
-qenvbeta- programs.
None of the -qenv- programs worked as advertised under Stata 9 or
Stata 10.0, this has been fixed.
We have added options to all programs that allows users to specify the
parameters of the distributions. We were thinking in terms of a
simulation where a user wants to compare the distribution of a test
statistic with a known distribution with known parameters. The
reference interval would than represent the variability that is to be
expected given the random nature of a Monte Carlo simulation, similar
to Ian White's -simsum- (also available from SSC and described in
(White 2010)). This background also explains our interest in the
chi-square and F distributions.
We have speeded up the Mata code for computing the overall reference region.
We have added "click to run" links to the helpfile.
We hope that some of you will find this useful,

Monte Carlo error". The Stata Journal, 10(3): 369-385.

Vodafone finance chief Andy Halford today hailed "the largest return of value ever in history anywhere" as shareholders voted by 99.76% to agree a bumper dividend from the mobile giant.
Investors gave near-unanimous support at the general meeting in the West End to approve the £51 billion payout as part of the £84 billion sale of Vodafone's Verizon Wireless stake in America.
The 104p-a-share dividend, worth about 30p in cash and 70p in Verizon shares according to Halford, is so large analysts expect it to boost the UK economy. Vodafone's stock-market value will drop from £110 billion to about £60 billion when the Verizon sale completes on February 21. Chairman Gerard Kleisterlee would not comment on "newspaper speculation" that Vodafone will be a takeover target now it is a smaller company.
The firm's shares fell 6% yesterday when US giant AT&T ruled out a bid for six months. Many reckon it is the start of a possible takeover move.

Preceded and followed by a triple paddling of Katherine St. James, Sam James, and Kisa Corvin on the seats of their tight shorts, this short features darling Scarlet Summers. Scarlet has gotten into trouble and anxiously awaits her spanking. Tubaman arrives and wastes no time in throwing her across his knee. First she is spanked over 200 times on the thin seat of her tight pants. She is allowed to take a break, which she does, gratefully rubbing the blazing seat of her pants. Tubaman is not finished with this naughty girl, however. He comes back and orders her to strip naked. Scarlet sadly obeys and takes another trip across his knee for another blistering spanking on her already red, sore bottom. Over 250 swats later, Scarlet has definitely learned her lesson. she is left to think about her behavior, which she does, ruefully rubbing her battered fanny. A stunning, petite brunette receives two bun-burning spankings, over 500 scalding swats, and ends up completely nude, her behind a bright scarlet. (Yes, I said it! Scarlet!) Burning spankings, a beautiful woman, squirming, leg-kicking, pleading, crying, along with a triple paddling of three gorgeous young women, all in this single video by Spanking 101!

This series of videos started out when a friend asked me to do a spanking demonstration for her BDSM group. My wife and I had so much fun doing it, that I decided to write a book, which then became a series of four books and a CD, soon to be available at www.spanking101thebook.com. When I was outted by an ex, I lost my vanilla job, so I decided to do videos that were also informative, to go along with the books. We have been very fortunate to have been able to work with some of the spanking Scene's most important icons, including Erica Scott, Dana Specht, Chelsea Pfeiffer, and Miss Chris. We have also been amazingly lucky to work with many of the Scene's current elite spanking models, including Sarah Gregory, Katherine St. James, Amelia Jane Rutherford, Leia-Ann Woods, Pandora Blake, Jennie Mack, and Ten Amorette. In addition to THAT, we have been able to work with some gorgeous new, er... faces: Sam James, Leila Hazlett, Amore, Millie, Purple, Rexie, Kisa Corwin, Sam James, Lily Starr, Sherie Taylor, Naughty Freckles, Jennie Mack, Skylar, Natasha Miller, Sasha, Nikki Rouge, Marie, Mira, Ashley Graham, Goldie Rosemont, Vivian, Galas Looner, Julianne Leigh, Scarlett Summers, Whitney Morgan, Emma Harper, and Rose Asteria. Our base set of models continues to grow, and we are always looking for more talent. Our models are well-treated, professionally spanked and protected, and are amongst the best-paid spanking models in the Scene. We have shot in Texas, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Nevada, California, Florida, the United Kingdom, the Cayman Islands, and Aruba. We plan spanking video ventures over the next 2-3 years that will include Japan, Australia/New Zealand, and Europe. If you are interested in working for us as a spanking model, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and put "model prospect" in the subject line. As for the videos in this store, you can expect absolutely the most beautiful women in the Scene, being spanked in everything from sexy outfits to totally nude. You'll see punishment spankings, fun spankings, sexy spankings, you name it. We have a large number of multiple-girl spankings as well. You'll see spankings, canings, paddlings, strappings, croppings, every imaginable type of spanking. While they are meant to be informative, they are absolutely worth watching just for the spankings alone. One other thing: while I have years of experience, and lots of advice to offer, I by no means claim to know it all. If you have suggestions for ideas I left out, please feel free to email me and let me know. I am not only open to suggestions, I welcome them. We are also glad to do custom video work. Just write me at email@example.com and put "custom job" in the subject line. One thing: these videos are my first attempts. while I am completely sure you'll be pleased with the content, I am still learning my way around the editing process. I am always open to honest, helpful criticism, but please spare me the nasty, unhelpful comments. I'll file them where they belong (up your kiester). However, I DO take helpful criticism to heart, and will use it to improve the product, so please don't hold back if it's honest criticism. I'm not made of glass. When I finally put them on the site, all of the 101 videos will have voice-overs, and they'll all be a more polished product, thanks in part to your suggestions.

Some of the least-known resources of the National Park System are the cultural and natural resources that lie below the waters within the boundaries of our park areas. While not as mainstream as activities such as camping and hiking, diving and snorkeling are increasingly popular ways to enjoy and be inspired by these resources.
I want to mention a couple diving situations that are kind of unique to the National Park Service and its divers. On several occasions, I dove in the pools at the base of the various falls in the valley of Yosemite National Park on body recoveries. The sensation of being underwater and hearing the thunder of the water plunging into the pool is like nothing else I have ever experienced. Needless to say, it was unnerving at best and downright scary at worst. One is never sure when a rock is going to come over the falls.
One of my worst dives was through the ice on a high Sierra Lake looking for the pilots of a plane that went down in the lake. Not only was the water cold, (we had no dry suits in Yosemite at the time) but the visibility was severely reduced by the presence of hydraulic oil in the water. Jagged pieces of the plane were everywhere, as were cables and wires. It looked a lot like a death trap to me, and our efforts to find the bodies were less than textbook SAR.
Finally, NPS divers do searches and body recoveries in rivers and lakes at comparatively high altitudes. I have dived in Tenaya Lake in Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite and in the rapids in the Yellowstone River a bit north of Fishing Bridge. These kinds of dives require special attention to the dive tables. And my experiences are not unusual for NPS divers.
Dan Lenihan, the former chief of the Park Service's Submerged Cultural Resources Unit (formerly SRCU, now SRC), and I have compiled a list of our ten favorite diving and snorkeling parks. Dan has dived in all of them; I, in five. In no particular order, here are our favorites.
Channel Islands National Park: Diving in this park has it all—giant kelp forests, thriving sea life, plenty of critters, and historic ship wrecks. Swimming through the kelp is a unique experience, almost like wandering through a pristine wilderness forest without gravity. Driven by the ocean currents and the surge on the surface, the kelp sways back and forth, giving the diver the impression that he/she is watching some kind of jungle in a windstorm.
Diving here is in the typical cold water off the California coast. Wetsuits or dry suits are a necessity. Even snorkelers swimming in the cove at Anacapa Island will welcome the warmth of a wetsuit. Charter with a reputable company. These can be found in Santa Barbara, Ventura and Oxnard.
National Park Service divers often did their recertification dives at Channel Islands. This is how I got to know the underwater wonders of this park.
Isle Royale National Park: Skin Diver, at one time the top US-based sport-diving magazine, listed Isle Royale as one of the top seven diving sites in the world. The extremely cold water in Lake Superior has created an ideal environment for the ten major ship wrecks that lie under the surface of the waters adjacent to the park. They are remarkably preserved due to the frigid, fresh water. All diving in the park is concentrated on these ghosts of the past. Diving inland in the park is prohibited; the many inlets and coves often have artifacts that the park is protecting for future archeological documentation.
Dan characterizes the dives in the park as ranging from moderately serious to semi-suicidal. The margin for error, particularly on some of the wrecks that lie in deeper water, is exceedingly small. Even very experienced divers have suffered a free-flowing regulator, the result of a frozen mouthpiece. Diving here is not for amateurs. Dan recommends that first-time divers use one of the park concessioners that has been in the diving business for a long time. You must register at the ranger station before diving.
I have never visited Isle Royale. I kick myself for not having gone to the park during the time the SCRU team was working there. I probably would have been able to scab a dive with them, even though one of them would probably have had to hold my hand.
Lake Mead National Recreation Area: This was our first National Recreation Area. It consists of two lakes—Mead created by Hoover Dam and Mohave, backed up behind Davis Dam. Diving here is affected by two external factors, the dry conditions and the altitude. Drink plenty of fluids to keep hydrated and remember that the air you are breathing through your regulator is dry. Both the places that divers normally stay, Boulder City or Las Vegas, are at higher altitudes than Lake Mead. You must convert the diving tables to compensate for the change of altitudes.
There are several dives at Lake Mead worth the price of admission. A B-29 crashed here in 1948 and the superintendent with the help of SRC has set up a special arrangement for divers to visit this stunning site with local guides. It was a 180' dive but now is around 135' due to the water level falling. Also, what has been called the "batch plant" by sport divers (really an aggregate sorting facility) built during construction of the dam is an excellent dive—depths vary from deep to too deep. Don't go in the tunnels under the aggregate unless you have some kind of under-ceiling certification.
You will need a wetsuit if you plan on going deep here as the water becomes much colder at depth. Ringbolt rapids is an exhilarating diving experience. The diver is dropped off above the rapids below Hoover Dam. After you enter the flow, you are no longer in control. You can easily be sucked to a depth of 70 feet and then shot back up to a shallower depth. You should only do this dive with someone who has done it before or through a nearby dive shop. Dan recommends not doing it and just telling everybody you did—it scared the bejesus out of him.
This is another area where NPS divers did their recertification dives. The Ringbolt rapids dive is one that I will never forget. My diving partner, Butch Farabee, and I tied a piece of parachute cord about 20 feet long to our wrists so that we could keep track of each other as we tumbled down the rapids. Some years later, I was knocked out of my raft while rowing through Crystal Rapids in the Grand Canyon. It was the same sensation as Ringbolt. The river was in charge; I wasn't. It's a spooky feeling.
Dry Tortugas National Park: I dived here when it was called Ft. Jefferson National Monument. It is on a chain of islands some 70 miles due west of Key West, Florida. The early explorers gave it the name, "tortuga"—Spanish for turtle—because of the abundance of this species. When later explorers discovered there was no fresh water source, the islands became known as the Dry Tortugas.
This is a beautiful spot in which to dive or snorkel. The reefs teem with fish species, including the menacing but mostly benign barracuda, a critter that always made me think of a swimming chain saw. There are shipwrecks to be explored here, also. The most popular dive and snorkeling site in the park is the Windjammer site, although the real name of the ship that wrecked on Loggerhead Reef in 1901 was the Avanti. SRC mapped this site in the 1980s and divers and snorkelers can pick up a laminated map of the wreck from the park staff. Beware of the fire coral on the reefs in this park.
This park is only accessible by boat or seaplane so it is a bit of a logistical challenge to dive there. And don't forget to bring everything you need with you. There's an area outside the fort for campers but I'd check ahead on this with the park. There is no 7-11 on the islands.
Biscayne National Park: Located a scant few miles south of Miami, Biscayne is a semi-tropical jewel, where the diver or snorkeler can count on seeing many of the more than 200 species of colorful tropical fish that inhabit the reefs and estuarine areas of the park. It is an area that is studded also with numerous shipwrecks due to the reefs that are scattered throughout the park and the adjacent waters. Most of these wrecks are in fairly shallow water that offer underwater experiences to both snorkelers and divers.
Diving is a delight here. The waters are warm, the depths are not particularly intimidating, and if one is careful, currents should not be much of a problem. Divers will need to have their own boats or arrange for dive charters that are available from the park concessioner. Please remember that coral is fragile. Even a slight touch can kill it. Coral reefs around the world have enough problems from climate change and pollution; divers and snorkelers don't need to add to their woes.
Amistad National Recreation Area: The NRA, located in West Texas on the Mexican border, is another one of the sites that the National Park Service used as a diving recertification area. Divers from around the park system came to the area maintain their diving skills, and practice techniques to be employed in home park search and rescue incidents. There is a deep cave here that you will hear about from locals (Goodenough Springs) that was relocated by park staff and SRC in 1995. Check with the rangers to make sure of any special rules but it can be exciting to drop through murky lake water with 2 or 3 foot visibility and emerge in crystal clear, 75 degree spring water at about 120 feet deep. There is a group of cave divers actively exploring here but it is an extremely difficult dive due to strong outflow current and other factors—we recommend staying out of the cave entirely but just seeing it down there is a gas. Again, rules change so check with the local park staff about doing this.
In the past we would have recommended the "ranch house" and some other sites, but due to radical changes in depth from drought one needs up to date information on these. The last either of us saw the ranch house you could walk into it and would look rather odd with a tank on your back.
Diving in this NRA has a couple special requirements. One is that divers should always carry a knife with them. Fishing lines are everywhere and the ability to cut oneself out of an entanglement can keep an inconvenience from turning into a tragedy. The other is that divers should check in any of the ranger stations for current information on diving conditions and regulations. Many of the rangers are NPS divers so they can help diving visitors find the best sites, many of which are accessible as beach dives without the necessity of owning or renting a boat.
Cape Cod National Seashore: The Cape was historically one of the most active shipping, fishing, and whaling areas in the world. Given the amount of maritime traffic, it is no wonder that disasters occurred with some regularity. Most of the diving in and around this NPS area is concentrated on the shipwrecks that dot the sea bottom. But, the sea bottom is rich in life (as evidenced by this week's park photo of the week) also and divers who concentrate on the communities of fish, barnacles, lobsters and crabs will be amply rewarded. This is one of the parks in which I have not dived. Most of the information for this area and others below come from Dan and from the information contained in a book co-authored by Dan and former NPS diver and photographer, John Brooks. The book is entitled [i]Underwater Wonders of the National Parks: A diving and snorkeling guide compiled by the National Park Service. The book is published by Fodor's Travel Publications, Inc.
Diving here presents special challenges and unique rewards. Since diving is not one of the mainstream activities at the seashore, information about the diving opportunities can be tough to find. Dan recommends that diving visitors contact local diving clubs or dive shops for information and even hiring local divers as guides. This is probably the only way for a visiting diver to find the most interesting wrecks. These include the Frances, a fairly intact old bark mapped by SRC in 1985. This wreck is in the breakers, making it similar to a meat-grinder at times. So depending on the tide you might want to follow Lenihan's approach to hazardous sites (see Ringbolt Rapids above). Then, there's the Flyer, a fishing boat that sank in 1972, the Margaret Rose, a 105-foot fishing trawler, and the Cormorant and the Barracuda. Visiting divers have little chance to finding the last two without local support. Other super wreck dives lie in waters adjacent to the seashore. Two of the best of these wrecks are the Pinthis, a 207-foot steel oil tanker that sank in 1930 following a collision, and the 108-foot Winsor that went down in 1946. There are dive charters that with their GPS systems will be able to take visiting divers to the exact sites of these wrecks.
War in the Pacific National Monument: Located on the island of Guam, War in the Pacific focuses on the reinvasion of Guam in 1944 by American forces to retake the island, held by the Japanese since 1941. The detritus of warfare is sprinkled along the invasion beaches in the waters that surround the park. Although the NPS does not manage this water area, NPS divers from SRC played an important role in inventorying the shipwrecks in Apra Harbor (not under direct park jurisdiction) and developing the packets of information that are available to visiting divers. The diving environment consists of warm water, a gently sloping sand bottom and lots of interesting, colorful sea life. There are ample dive shops and dive charters available or the visiting diver can dive off the beaches in some places. One special note of caution: there is still unexploded ordnance in these waters. Please stay away from such material. Ranger Jim Miculka told Dan of one visitor upset because he and his wife had taken some of the ordnance as souvenirs from one of the two invasion beaches and it started smoking on the way in. White phosphorous was used as fusing in some Japanese projectiles, and though our twisted humor rejoices in the notion of a self-correcting mechanism for stopping rip-offs, this would be a bit severe. If the primary charge went, Mr. and Mrs. Misdemeanor would have been vaporized.
Divers face a great choice here—whether to dive on the wrecks or on the reefs. Either way, the diver can't lose and most will want to do both. Check with Guam's Department of Parks and Recreation before diving on any of the wrecks in Apra Harbor. It is in this harbor that divers will find the most interesting wrecks. One site has two ships on the bottom. One is the German raider Cormoran, scuttled by her captain in 1917 on the day of the U.S.'s entry into World War I. In 1943, the Japanese armed transport, Tokai Maru, joined the Cormoran on the bottom. These wrecks lie in 130 feet of water, so the diver needs to be very aware of his/her bottom time or plan decompression stops on the way up. But just think: a World War II ship sitting on top of a ship that was from the "War to end all Wars;" that's pretty nifty.
Koloko Honokohau National Historical Park: Established in 1978, this park area preserves, protects, interprets and perpetuates traditional native Hawaiian culture and land use patterns. While the shore is rocky and steep, access by diving charter brings the visiting diver to excellent diving. Dan says that it is hard to have a bad dive here as long as the sea waters are relatively calm. The visibility is good, there are sea caves to explore, and large critters like sharks and manta rays visit the area. It is easy to charter a dive here through local dive shops and charter boat locations. What more could a diver want?
Buck Island Reef National Monument: Located in the Virgin Islands near St. Croix, this is a great site for both snorkelers and divers. Buck Island's famous underwater trail takes the snorkeler on a marked trail that leads across large coral heads. The snorkeler will also be able to appreciate the impact of hurricane Hugo on the reef as large pieces of elkhorn reef lie jumbled along the bottom.
Despite the impact of the 1989 hurricane, Hugo, Buck Island still offers spectacular reef diving, mostly in shallow enough waters for both experienced and inexperienced divers. These dives offer another special treat: the diver gets to watch nature begin to recover from Hugo. If the diver looks closely, he/she will see new coral growth emerging. Dan likens it to seeing new growth spring up following a forest fire.
The NPS Submerged Cultural Resources Center counts at least 61 areas in the National Park System with significant water holdings. Dan believes that almost all of them hold some interest to divers. Two of them, the USS Arizona, and Devil's Hole in Death Valley, are off limits to divers not involved in sanctioned research activities.
While almost all dives involve some hazards, there are special conditions that divers in NPS areas need to take into account. Diving at altitude—say in Yellowstone Lake—completely alters how the diver must deal with diving tables. At altitude, the diver has less bottom time and will more likely face decompression stops on the way back to the surface. The cold waters at park areas along the northern tier of the US present special problems. Divers will probably not be comfortable in traditional wetsuits. And please remember that hypothermia robs the diver of the ability to make rational decisions.
Caves are found in a number of park waters. Diving under ceilings takes practice, a clear head and special training. NPS divers are often forced to dive under ice as part of their job. Novice divers should always dive with an experienced person in such conditions. There is a right way and a wrong way to dive under ceilings. Those who choose the wrong way don't often survive. Finally, it's easy to get careless while diving in warm tropical waters. The diver must pay attention to bottom time and not let currents drift him/her far away from the boat. This last aspect can't be overemphasized—most divers drown in 'easy' places, not scary ones—there is no such thing as a dive you don't have to think through and treat seriously.

NBSA to examine Jindal Steel's extortion charge against Zee News
Earlier in the day, the Broadcast Editors' Association reportedly sacked the editor and business head of the TV news channel.
New Delhi: The News Broadcasting Standards Authority (NBSA) on Friday took up Jindal Steel's complaint against Zee News. Jindal Steel had filed an extortion case against the television news channel with the Press Council of India.
However, in a press release, NBSA said, "The complaint filed by Jindal Steel Ltd regarding telecast of news with regard to allocation of coal blocks and other issues on Zee News, Zee Business and Zee UP (channels of Zee News Ltd.) with Press Council of India (PCI) has been forwarded to Chairperson, NBSA, as the complaint does not fall within the remit of PCI."
The press release added, "On the basis of the material placed before it and considering the seriousness of the complaint, the NBSA has taken suo motu cognizance of the matter."
NBSA Chairperson Justice JS Verma will now examine the complaint. Earlier in the day, the Broadcast Editors' Association (BEA) reportedly sacked the editor and business head of the TV news channel. Last week, Naveen Jindal had filed a police complaint against Zee News charging that its senior journalists had demanded "advertisement commitments" worth crores of rupees to block airing a negative story about the company's alleged involvement in the scam-tainted coal block allocations.
Subsequently, Zee News also alleged that Jindal misbehaved with a team of its reporters after they sought clarifications from him on the allegations levelled against his company for alleged irregularities in allocation of coal bocks. Zee Group Chairman Subhash Chandra had also said his journalists were not involved in any wrongdoing and asserted that the accusations were false.

Ironman Triathlon won't return to NY/NJ
Completing the Ironman — 140.6 miles of murky tidal waters, closed highways and cramped urban roads in one of the world's busiest metropolitan areas — was difficult.
Planning it may have been harder.
Ironman organizers said Friday that the event would not return to North Jersey and New York for a second year, citing "unrealistic" logistical and financial hurdles.
"Producing an event in a large urban market is complex and challenging," Ironman's parent company, World Triathlon Corp., said in a statement Friday. "The combination of the ferries, transition in Palisades Interstate Park, and the difficulty for our spectators to watch much of the inaugural race all combined to create an experience that needed substantial improvement."
The Aug. 11 competition, officially known as the Aquadraat Sports Ironman U.S. Championship, took seven years and $4 million to put together, entailing negotiations with dozens of mayors, police departments and local agencies in two states.
Event organizer John Korff — who also runs the annual New York City Triathlon and whose dream it was to host a city Ironman – said he was disappointed, but not surprised, by the company's decision, which he discussed with Ironman officials Thursday.
"New York City isn't right for everyone, and everyone isn't right for New York City," Korff said. "It was overwhelming to Ironman."
Nearly 3,000 people entered the event: 1,200 from New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, Korff said.
The day began with a 2.4-mile swim in the Hudson River off the coast of Alpine and Fort Lee. After a 112-mile bicycle race up and down the length of the Palisades Interstate Parkway in Bergen and Rockland counties, the endurance athletes concluded with a standard 26.2-mile marathon, crossing the George Washington Bridge before finishing in Manhattan's Riverside Park.
Though many deemed it a success, the event had been marred even before it began. A sewage leak in Westchester County threatened to force cancellation of the triathlon less than 24 hours before its start. The quality of the river water was found to be safe, but the death of a 43-year-old Hong Kong police officer during the Hudson River swim cast a pall over the event.
Days after the race, Ironman suspended registration for the 2013 event, saying it wanted to review its plans. Contestants had bristled at an increase in the entry fee that topped 30 percent — from $895 this year to $1,200 for 2013 — to account for the high cost of running the event. The suspension also allowed Ironman to consider race logistics and feedback, officials said.
"Our conclusion: the race cannot be conducted in the way our athletes expect and deserve," Ironman officials said Friday.
Ironman events are typically held in less dense areas that allow for a loop course, with the beginning and end in the same place, to allow for easier transitions. In New York City, participants had to navigate a busy metropolis thronged with tourists and media, stay in far-flung hotels, manage bicycle delivery, take a ferry to start a difficult swim and run among pedestrians.
At the finish line, there was no party because a city noise ordinance prohibited music or use of a public address system after 10 p.m.
"We looked at these challenges as ways to make the race cool," Korff said. "Some people don't like running up stairs to cross the George Washington Bridge. Some people think, 'Oh, this is so cool.'Ÿ"
North Jersey participants acknowledged the unique difficulties of the race.
"There were challenges with this race, which is what made it so interesting," said Tom DiVincent of Franklin Lakes, who completed the Ironman in 11 hours, 23 minutes and 30 seconds. "I think it was a really well-run race."
"It comes down to dollars and cents," DiVincent said. "People do this to make money. This isn't a charity, and the cost of running just didn't get people to jump on the bandwagon again. And it's a shame. That's a lot of money to spend on something and, unfortunately, the costs around our area for people who were coming in and staying in hotels made it even more difficult."
Katie Feehan of Wyckoff, who finished the race in 12 hours, 34 minutes and 41 seconds, was also sorry about the decision to cancel the race. "I guess it's understandable given that they didn't break even with the money and it did sound like a logistical nightmare," said Feehan.
There were, Feehan said, some areas to "iron out," and Korff agreed.
"Yeah, the water wasn't as clear as New Hampshire, but what are you going to do?" Feehan said. "Other than that, I would say that just the amount of spectators out there and the views that you were getting and the dynamics of the race were probably the best I've had."
Korff said it is unusual to hold just one Ironman event in a location. "This is probably the first time that it's been a one and done," Korff said.
"We are very proud of what we did," Korff said. He would not rule out the possibility of a future Ironman event in New York City. "Never say never."

"We do this to serve the Lord by serving our fellow man.'' Moberley said. "We share the love of (Jirist with families, but oh, by the way, we cut down trees too." Thousands of volunteers flocked to Alabama and the region after the April 27 storms. The storms claimed hundreds of lives. Residents saw winds up to 190 mph that ripped apart wood frames of homes and knocked over trees. Moberley said he has spoken to homeowners who were quoted prices of up to $15,000 to have downed trees removed from their properties. Imkily, they benefit from the chainsaw teams come that around and do it at no charge. " I hese are massive, massive trees," Moberley said. "We come through in two or three days and remove them for free." He said his team has been in Tuscaloosa since May 1 and will he coming home Saturday. Charles Dean, a member of the chainsaw team from First Baptist Church New Braunfels, said he plans to go to Alabama this weekend and possibly meet up with another area team. A business trip to Ohio prevented him from going with the Canyon Lake team that works in conjunction with the one from First Baptist New Braunfels, Dean said. Dean said he hopes he can get to the wind-whipped area and do some good. "You can go out there and comfort people, show them the lord's love through your actions," he said. "Nothing else quite gives you that feeling of just sharing with these people and trying to help them through this terrible time in their lives." (The Associated Press contributed to this report,) DIARY CONTINUED FROM Page 1 They described the intelligence to The Associated Press only on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk publicly about what was found in bin Laden's hideout. Analysts are continuing to review the documents. I he information shatters the government's conventional thinking about bin Laden, who had been regarded for years as mostly an inspirational figurehead whose years in hiding made him too marginalized to maintain operational control of the organization he founded. Instead, bin Laden was communicating from his walled compound in Pakistan with al-Qaida's offshoots, including the Yemen branch that has emerged as the leading threat to the United States, the documents indicate. I hough there is no evidence yet that he was directly behind the attempted Christmas Day 2009 bombing of a Detroit-bound airliner or the nearly success-ful attack on cargo planes heading for Chicago and Philadelphia, it's now clear that they bear some of bin Laden's hallmarks. He was well aware of U.S. counterterrorist efforts and schooled his followers in working around them, the messages to his followers show. E)on't limit attacks to New York City, he said in his writings. Consider other areas such as Los Angeles or smaller cities. Spread out the targets. In one particularly macabre bit of mathematics, bin Laden's writings show him musing over just how many Americans he must kill to force the U.S. to withdraw from the Arab world. He concludes that the smaller, scattered attacks since 9/11 had not been enough. I le tells his disciples that only a body count of thousands, something on the scale of the Sept. 11,2001, attacks, would shift I J.S. policy. He also schemed about ways to sow political dissent in Washington and play {political figures against one another, officials said. The communications were in missives sent via plug-in computer storage devices called flash drives. The devices were ferried to bin Laden's compound by couriers, a process that is slow hut exceptionally difficult to track. Intelligence officials have not identified any new planned targets or plots in their initial analysis of the 100 or so flash drives and five computers that Navy SEALs hauled away after killing bin Laden. Last week, the FBI and Homeland Security Department warned law enforcement officials nationwide to he on alert for possible attacks against trains, though officials said there was no specific plot. Officials have not yet seen any indication that bin Laden had the ability to coordinate timing of attacks across the various al-Qaida affiliates in Pakistan. Yemen, Algeria, Iraq and Somalia, and it is also unclear from bin Laden's documents how much the affiliate groups relied on his guidance. The Yemen group, for instance, has embraced the smaller-scale attacks that bin Laden's writings indicate he regarded as unsuccessful. The Yemen branch had already surpassed his central operation as al-Qaida's leading fundraising, propaganda and operational arm. DRIP CONTINUED FROM Page 1 cold spell or a drought," Skasik said. "But drip irrigation waters deep and encourages plants to put down deep roots." Drip irrigation also prevents water from being wasted by running down streets, side-waiks and curbs. "It allows you to have a beautiful green yard without using more water than you should," she said. Gretchen Reuwer, New Braunfels Utilities' communications director, said the city is on Stage I water restrictions. Stage II restrictions begin when the aquifer dips below the 650-foot level, Reuwer said. On Wednesday, the well was measured at 651.3 feet — a one-day drop of three-tenths of a foot. Under Stage II water restrictions, landscape watering using a sprinkler or irrigation system will only be permitted one day per week based on the last digit of the customer's address. Experts estimate that about hail of resident ial water is used for landscaping and other outdoor activities, Reuwer said. So, NBlJ's water customers should try to make significant reductions in this less-than-essential areas. She doesn't know much about drip irrigation, Reuwer said, hut anything to help lessen the load on the local aquifer is a bonus. "Anything that anyone can do at this point to help conserve, especially on non-essential use, is going to help," she said. "Hopefully, we'll get some help with these rains. If not, GIUL t f Fried or HVVY Fried Ostfisi Oysters _ Grilled JRrimp Salmon we have to face the fact that Stage II is approaching." Fat chance, said Paul Yura, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in New Braunfels. He said a limited amount of rain fell Ttiesday and there was the possibility of similar amounts Wednesday and today. "If you got more than a trace (luesday) then you were lucky," Yura said. "I bet there was probably more lightning strikes than rain drops." In the meantime, Skasik said anyone can install a drip irriga-tion system. It only takes an irrigation kit, scissors and a couple of other around-the-home objects, Skasik said. Once installed, it's basically worry-free, she said. "You don't need a lot of technical equipment or know how,'' Skasik said. "You can hook this up to a timer, and you can go off and forget it. It comes on and waters every day, same time, same amount of water." No fuss, no waste, no problem, she said. "For water conservation, to be a good steward of the water and your community," Skasik said, "I think drip irrigation is a way you can make a difference." .01 inch of rain reported Tuesday and Wednesday By Dalondo Moultrie The Herald-Zeitung Traces of rain fell on the New Braunfels area Tuesday night and chances of more were forecasted for Wednesday and today. "Boy, it was a few drops in most locations," meteorologist Paul Yura of the National Weather Service in New Braunfels said of Tuesday night's dripping. "If you got more than a trace, then you were lucky." Yura said most totals measured about .01 inch in the area. He said hail described as penny- to nickel-sized was reported near Seguin. Storms were being watched Wednesday between New Braunfels and San Angelo, Yura said. But, he said, those were heading in a more northeasterly direction. Yura said today's chances of anything quenching the current drought are slim to none. "The chance of rain is still * before Î0a.m. and after 8 PJH. $9 ¡fi • if your address ends in (U4,$or8ÿ r ...... irrigation days are Monday and Thursday. •If your address ends in 1,3,5,7 or 9, irrigation days are Tuesday and Friday. • Hand watering and drip irrigation allowed any time. • Vehicles may be washed at home on assigned days and times using a handheld hose with automatic shut-off noale or 5-gafjpn bucket.

Oxfam Scotland volunteer political activism co-ordinator Meray Diner (pictured right with MPs William Bain and Ann McKechin MP) took part in the IF Camapaign Lunch and Lobby last week. Here are her thoughts on how it went, and how important it is to get politicians to support Enough Food For Everyone IF.
The first Scottish event for the IF campaign after its launch took place in Glasgow last week.
The IF Campaign Lunch and MP Lobby successfully hosted talks from Michael McCann MP, a member of the International Development Select Committee, and Patricia Chale, Director of SCIAF.
MPs William Bain, Ann McKechin, Michael McCann and Ian Davidson joined the lunch where constituents and campaigners had a chance for lobbying and discussing the responsibility of the UK to act on global hunger.
Organised by the Oxfam Glasgow Group, the lunch included some fair and unfair themed meals, writing a letter to George Osborne about the UK budget and other engaging activities.
People had chance to find out more about the IF campaign which highlights that 1 billion people go to bed hungry every night and 2 million children die from malnutrition every year.
The event has also aimed to make people aware that in 2013, the UK government has promised to provide 0.7% of national income for aid.
Overall, it was a fantastic event which inspired different discussions among the public but also pointed out that the more of us get involved, the greater pressure there will be on the UK government and world leaders to take action.
June is the best opportunity to tackle hunger when the world's most powerful leaders will meet in the UK at the G8 and we must make IF happen with more events and activities.
