12 Aug 2008: Divers discover history in Lake Michigan watersMost people don't expect to have any scuba diving experience in Lake Michigan, let alone an exciting one. While diving is usually synonymous with warm, turquoise water and dazzling marine life, scuba divers in the Great Lakes region guard a well-preserved secret. "If you're diving and you want to see fish you have to go to the tropics," says Cris Kohl, author of eleven books on the Great Lakes. "But if you want to see the best preserved shipwrecks in the world you have to dive here, because you sure won't see them in saltwater." Our lakes boast shipwrecks galore, from smaller tugboats to schooners resting less than one hundred feet below the surface, a treat for adventurous divers willing to tolerate the cold. Although the water temperature is a deterrent for many potential and seasoned divers, it prevents the deterioration of the sunken boats, products of the Great Lakes' extensive maritime history. …Source
11 Aug 2008: World's Deepest Swimming Pool - Purpose Built for DivingWhere would you imagine cruising around at 105 feet (33 meters) in warm (91F/33C) crystal clear tropical waters? The Bahamas or Fiji perhaps? How about Belgium? Though not in a typical tropical diving location, you can now do just that at Nemo33, a new swimming pool in Brussels, Belgium that is purpose built for scuba diving. Containing a whopping 2.5 million liters (660,430 gallons) of spring water, and reaching a depth of 33 meters (105 feet), Nemo33 is the world's deepest swimming pool. However, it's more than just a deep swimming pool, it's a scuba diving paradise that was built with the scuba diver in mind. Nemo33 has multiple levels for training and even features tunnels with breathing air so that instructors can talk to their students without having to surface. …Source
11 Aug 2008: Disabled kids learn to scuba dive at Cobalt Coast Dive ResortChildren with disabilities will get an opportunity to experience the amazing underwater world, thanks to the Shriners Hospitals for Children in Chicago, United States of America.

The teens spend three days in the scuba classroom including academic lessons, pool skills and completing ocean dives to learn all they need to know about scuba, the organisers said. Upon completion of the programme, teens will become certified divers and more importantly become more independent in their life skills. …Source

9 Aug 2008: Diving Bermuda's newest 'shipwreck'Recently scuttled tugboat "Forceful" the island's latest underwater attraction Swimming underwater across an open plain of ash white sand off the South Shore, you gradually begin to make out the faint outline of a great, metal structure resting slightly atilt on the seabed. Submerged 60-feet down in the azure sea beside a blossoming reef wall, a 75-foot tugboat called 'Forceful' has been sunk by a team of local divers. While not as big as many Bermudian shipwrecks, the good news for anyone wanting to dive to the vessel is that it has been placed just a short distance from the 55-foot Tug Boat 'King', making a visit to the two sites an inspirational 40 to 55-minute dive. …Source

The Marco Island Historical Society held its monthly meeting Tuesday night at Mackle Park and the keynote speaker was Geoff Fahringer, an historical society member and an instructor for the Public Safety Diving Association. …Source

Scuba divers discovered the rusting hulks of two Centaur CS IV tanks, complete with heavy guns, on the seabed eight miles off the West Sussex coast. After a seven-month investigation, involving more than 80 dives at the site 65ft down and painstaking archive research, Alison Mayor, a diving instructor, has identified them as two vehicles which fell overboard a landing craft capsized on its way to the Normandy beaches on June 6, 1944. …Source
7 Aug 2008: Shipwreck hunters still search for 'ultimate Grail'The recent discovery of a British warship that foundered in Lake Ontario during the American Revolution has many marine history buffs likening the find to the Holy Grail of the Great Lakes. But shipwreck hunters believe the ``ultimate Grail'' of the Lakes is still entombed in the cold, murky depths. Last spring, U. S. wreck enthusiasts Jim Kennard and Dan Scoville located HMS Ontario below the waves of Lake Ontario, not far from the New York shoreline. Kennard's quest to find the watery grave of the Ontario, which was lost with 130 people on board during a powerful gale in 1780, had spanned 35 years. The 64-year-old is one of many to call the 22-gun sloop of war the ``Holy Grail of the Lakes,'' but even he acknowledges the most treasured wreck is still out there. …Source

4 Aug 2008: 52 years later, ship still takes victimsIt was a graceful ship renowned for its safety. But lying on its side 240 feet below the ocean's surface, the wreck of the Andrea Doria has a much deadlier reputation. After 52 years on the sea floor about 40 miles south of Nantucket, the upper decks of the 697-foot vessel have collapsed onto the ocean floor, creating a labyrinth of debris. At its resting spot near the edge of the continental shelf, the waters are frigid and the currents fierce. Visibility can stretch as far as 75 feet or as little as 10 and can change in an instant. Divers, drawn to the wreck by the aura of one of the world's last luxury liners and the treasures it might hold, call it the Mount Everest of their sport. …Source

Of course, the folks near Green Lake will argue that their lake is a natural waterway while Wazee is a restored quarry. Scuba divers and others don't really care about that distinction. Most will tell you that Wazee is the deepest and clearest lake in the state, and they love it. …Source

Posted by Duncan Jones on October 18, 2011
I handle many inquiry calls from clients asking for help negotiating with large suppliers, and often they claim the supplier is a strategic partner. I've noticed that many clients use that term, but when I ask them what it actually means in practice, I get varying responses. So Forrester recently surveyed over 150 sourcing and vendor management (SVM) professionals to ask them what they expect to get from strategic partners, and what they offer in return. I was bit disappointed with the results. For instance, while 68% said they would always expect partners to give them the best possible discount, only 6% said they would always make the partner their sole source for specific technology categories.
What's wrong with this picture? Well, to quote Godfather 2, when explaining Hyman Roth's longevity, Johnnie Ola says, "He always made money for his partners." That concept doesn't seem to apply in the technology world. On the one hand, buyers complain about vendors' unfair policies (see my recent report Buyers Should Reject Unfair Licensing Rules) and transactional sales approach. Yet OTOH they want to squeeze their partners' margins while still expecting them to sell their wares site-by-site and product-by-product around their enterprise. As one senior software executive told me the other day, "Sure, I'll waive my usual policies for partners, but only if they let me off the huge cost of supporting individual, small product buying decisions."
Posted by Jan Erik Aase on October 14, 2011
I'm a Forrester analyst, but lately I've been feeling more like a marriage counselor. Not that I mind that role; you get to hear all sorts of juicy gossip and sordid tales of woe. But I didn't anticipate it in my job at Forrester. I've spent many 30-minute counseling sessions (inquiries) listening to Vendor Management dudes (professionals) complaining about their Procurement spouses (colleagues) and vice versa. It appears that both parties are approaching married life (work) from two different sides of the bed. It feels like this arranged marriage is doomed to fail. But enough with the marriage analogy; this is a serious issue that seems to be pretty prevalent in the corporate world today.
So what are the major areas of disconnect?

Last week The New York Times reported that Missoula County ranks fifth nationally in the number of RV registrations over the last three years. According to the Times, people are coming to Montana from all over the United States to set up limited liability corporations that allow them to avoid paying sales taxes on their huge purchases. And it's all perfectly legal in Montana.
The RVs these folks are buying aren't your grandpa's Winnebago. These modern day "diesel pushers" are high-tech houses on wheels costing as much as $350,000. Wondering what's so appealing about trading in a sedentary lifestyle for a home on the road, we visited a couple of Missoula's RV dealers this week for a tour of the plush mobile abodes.
At Bretz RV and Marine, Gregg Klepper showed us Alpha Leisure's top-selling diesel pusher (meaning the diesel engine is in the back of the rig), the Alfa See Ya!
The rig is similar in size and general outward appearance to a metro transit bus, but the similarities stop there. Once inside, the unit is more akin to an uptown apartment than a Greyhound. The driver and passenger seats are huge, oversized lounge chairs with built-in seatbelts. The floor features real ceramic tile, and the galley (that's kitchen for you non-mobile homers) is replete with oak cabinets, solid-surface countertops and a side-by-side fridge. The living room boasts a sleeper sofa, dinette and another reclining lounge chair.
At Gull Boats and R.V., salesman Grady Nelson offered a tour of the Western Recreation Alpine Coach Limited.
"These are what the big hitters are buying," Nelson said as we stepped into the coach. At $341,207, the unit features state-of-the-art accommodations, including a flat panel LCD-TV with HDTV satellite receiver and a computerized control console that would make Lone Starr drool.
With no special driver's license required, no lawn to mow, no house to paint and no property taxes to pay, it's no surprise snowbirds are pulling up stakes to drive through Montana's king-sized tax loopholes.

"During the HR grid activation I felt a very beautifully warm glow in my heart and throughout my body, as well as a harmonic tone.
The experience felt very sacred and I felt very grateful for being present for this special occassion and for this new tool that can be used to bring HR to the planet and world in a powerful way.
I strongly urge all in HR land to get the grid activation for personal, planetary, and as a means to share this gift to the people of this world at this momentous time in world history!!
It also makes a wonderful service vehicle.....catch you on the grid!!!"
Ken Salmon, Vancouver
"Since receiving the Heart Resonance grid activation I have experienced an accelerated purging of old beliefs, feelings, and emotions through physical symptoms, and in my dreams at night."
Goldie, Salmon Arm, BC
"I recently received the HR Grid activation from Trevor. It has been a powerful experience for me. The two changes I noticed immediately was the strength of the HR field within and around me. With it came a sense of expansiveness that I have never experienced before, yet I was and have remained very grounded.
With the new techniques the Grid Activation has both simplified and yet deepened the level of work, whether it is on myself or with clients. I feel this activation has taken HR onto a whole new level of energetic healing."
Susan Turner – Surrey BC
"During the Activation my body especially my head had responded in a mysterious way. I felt that the upper part of my body was elongated causing my head to rotate in some kind of an infinity symbol. My whole body stayed filled with warmth long after the activation.
Thank you for sharing with us."
Rifa Hodgson, Vancouver BC
"The activation of the personal orbital matrix grid connected to the planetary grid was a unique experience. During the transmission, there was a vortex of colour and a flow in waves folding out from the heart.
I felt like I was light and floating in the flow. During the activation, I felt light headed and out of the physical body. A crystal glowing light grid surrounded me. I am definitely more aware of thought and periods of non-truth. I trust that I will continue to grow in spirituality of truth."
Laura Whieldon, BC Canada
"Heart Resonance has changed my life for the better and I use it in my practice as a Hypnotherapist to improve and enhance my clients healing."
Saira Hansen, Vancouver, Canada
"The Heart Resonance system was truly a lifeline in my life. I have tried a gambit of spiritual and healing modalities, and nothing has came close in effectiveness in my life."
Ken Salmon - Vancouver, BC, Canada
"For those of you who, like I, find it challenging to feel, sense and work with energy, the benefits are still astounding. My heart is more open to unconditional love and feels energized. Life seems more gratifying and beautiful. My outlook on life is more open with less fear. Being in Trevor's company during his heart resonance master's course is life changing."
Nooshin Kiani - Vancouver, BC

LOUISVILLE - Police say an arrest has been made in the fatal shooting of a Kroger employee in November.
Aaron L. Cross, 18, has been charged with murder and robbery in the death of Jack Combs, 34. He pleaded not guilty in court on Saturday.
Police say Cross and Combs were employees of the St. Matthews Kroger when Combs was shot in the chest while walking to his car behind the store Nov. 23.
Police said robbery was a likely motive for the shooting but declined to say Cross had fired the shots. Police are still investigating.
Cross was already in jail on an unrelated robbery charge.
Rewards in the case totaling $30,000 from various sources are still active concerning information leading to an arrest and conviction.

The grass might be greener in the spring, but aquatic vegetation can still be a lush dwelling for bass to hang out in the fall. Fishing grass in the springtime can produce great results, yet the action in the weeds during fall can be as good or better since the water is usually warmer and the fish are more aggressive throughout autumn. "Usually there is a little more topwater fishing (in the weeds) than you have in the spring," says 2011 Bassmaster Classic contender Kelly Jordon.
Lipless crankbaits, spinnerbaits and other lures that produce in the weeds during spring also trigger strikes in the fall. However, Jordon opts for different lure colors when targeting bass in the grass during autumn. "Even though there are always crawfish around weeds, shad colors dominate in the fall," he says. "In the spring, the red lipless crankbait is the ticket. In the fall, it's more of the chromes and smoky shad colors."
The Texas pro's favorite lures for working on or near the grass include a buzzbait, Lucky Craft Sammy, Lucky Craft Kelly J and a Lake Fork Tackle Magic Shad that he reels quickly to make the jerkbait skitter across the surface. He also likes to throw plastic toads or frogs when the bass are in shallow lily pads. "That's a strong fall pattern too," he says. Jordon believes the topwater action is better in the fall than the spring because the fish suspend in the weeds more.
"The other cool thing about fall is that you should always keep your eyes open for a school of fish that push the shad up against the weeds," says Jordon. When the water temperature drops into the low 60s, Jordon relies more on his flipping stick and braided line to punch through the mats.
"A lot of times the fish are right on the bottom in those little drains or creek channels that go through the grassbeds," says Jordon, who punches through the grass with a 3/4- to 1 1/2-ounce Lake Fork Tackle Tungsten Mega Weight followed by a Lake Fork Tackle Craw Tube. Shad movement throughout the fall creates two weed patterns. "The backs of the creeks are always a great place to start," says Jordon. "Go as far back as you can go."
Main lake flats and points blanketed with weeds are also prime locations for autumn bass foraging on baitfish. As the water continues to cool in the late fall, Jordon starts keying on deeper weeds. "Some of the best flipping I've ever had was on (Sam) Rayburn in November," he recalls.
"I was flipping grass in 22 feet of water, and it was unbelievable. I was catching giant after giant after giant." By late fall, some aquatic vegetation starts to die on Northern waters, and, although the brown weeds look uninviting, bass will still be there, especially if it's the only cover available. "Don't be afraid of dead grass," says Jordon. "It can be harder to fish because it gets softer and gets stuck on your bait more. Of course if you can find some pretty green grass, that's always better." Whenever he's targeting milfoil or hydrilla in the fall, Jordon tries to avoid the vast stretches of uniform grass or solid mats. "Probably the best thing to look for is 'clumpy grass,' " says Jordon.
Whether he is looking at the mats on top or the submerged vegetation with his electronics, Jordon searches for holes in the mat or broken up sections of weeds. Factors that contribute to breaking up the mats include grass die off, lake drawdown that makes the weeds susceptible to waves, strong winds and coots that forage throughout the mats.
Jordon suggests fishing all the types of weeds available in a lake or river during the fall until you find the type bass prefer. "There will always be some fish around the grass," he says. "If you have so many different kinds of grass where you have to pick one that the fish are really on, I really don't even feel sorry for you. That's a great problem to have."

Google faces no EU-level fines if it ignores 'right to be forgotten' verdict
Google won't risk financial penalties from the EU's top court if it chooses to ignore a recent 'right to be forgotten' judgement.
"The [European] Court of Justice has no power to fine a company in this context, competition law yes, but not here," a contact at the Luxembourg-based legal arbiter told this website on Thursday (15 May).

Fines would instead be handed out at member state level.
The Court earlier this week clarified how national courts need to interpret the right from a two-decade old EU directive on data protection.
The decision means people in the EU can ask Google and any other search operator to remove content deemed out-dated or irrelevant.
It is final and cannot be appealed by the US-based company.
The Court's decision can only change if the EU law is modified.
The case stems back to 2012 when Spanish citizen Mario Costeja Gonzalez filed a complaint against Google.
Gonzalez demanded Google filter out his name from search queries linked to the repossession of his homes in a story first published in the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia.
The Court agreed with Gonzalez.
Vilified and celebrated
The verdict has been both vilified and celebrated by pro-rights civil society groups.
The London-based Index on Censorship says it will "open up the flood gates" with the BBC reporting the US internet giant has already received 'right to be forgotten' requests from a paedophile and a British former politician seeking re-election.
"Somebody who has an embarrassing photo, we are not saying 'tough luck to them', there should be a way for them to mitigate their damages but this particular case (the Gonzalez case) was in effect a public notice," said Sean Gallagher at the pro-transparency NGO.
Gallagher warned the implications could be severe because the requests block people from accessing something that was on the public record and not something that was slanderous or libellous.
He said the ruling means Gonzalez could also request Google to remove the Court's own judgement on the case which mentions his name from the search results if he so chose.
The right to privacy, according to the verdict, is now more important than the right for the public to be informed, noted Gallagher.
The BBC cited Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales describing the decision as "one of the most wide-sweeping internet censorship rulings that I've ever seen".
He said the Court's verdict makes no sense.
Not everyone agrees.
Joe McNamee, the director of European Digital Rights, a Brussels-based NGO, said that even though the balance is in favour of the right to privacy there are "undefined circumstances" where this is not the case.
He pointed out Google already engages in extensive removal of links from its search service.
Last year, the company pulled 214 million links from its search engine out of a total of 235 million requests, he noted.
"Google chose to remove these search results globally, even though they have not been subject to any legal process outside the US," he said in an email.
Some are concerned the ruling could create a system where people in the US would be able to access information on the search engine no longer visible in the EU.
But McNamee pointed out Google already de-indexes on a national level on the basis of various legal and ad hoc agreements.
"It removes, for example, sites accused of hate speech in Google.de, but leaves them available via Google.com," he said.
EU data protection reform
EU legislators, for their part, are overhauling the 1995 directive.
The European Commission upgraded it to a regulation in 2012, backed by the European Parliament, but negotiations are stuck among member states.
The reformed regulation says people can have their data removed when there are no legitimate grounds for retaining it.
It also states data can be retained "where it is necessary for historical, statistical and scientific (...) purposes".
Public interest in the area of public health, freedom of expression, and other exemptions are given when the data should be kept alive.
The Greek EU presidency, for its part, has yet to decide whether to include the Court's verdict as an agenda item at the June meeting on data protection.
"Now with the Court ruling, it might make things, depending on the reaction of member states, either more difficult or easier," said Greek EU presidency spokesperson Alexandros Vidouris.
Last year, both Spain and Germany suggested that people may abuse the right to be forgotten "with fraudulent intent" when it comes to finances.
Austria, Estonia, France and Ireland, for their part, welcomed the right in the new legislation.

I have the SRS catback system plus the SRS downpipe (Which I put on a couple of months after the CB). It is a very low and deep sounding exhaust and I would highly recommend it if you want something that sounds awesome and isn't overly obnoxious/loud.

Started using this product to clean my safety glasses at work. When I retired I was given a cleaning station as a gift. Uvex does a great job and never scratches. I am so glad that I found replacement cleaning tissues at DrilSpot. Price was right and service was great.
Cleans and does not scratch.
Nothing could be better - it is the best available
Wrong Product PicturedWednesday, February 16, 2011
The product description and photograph do not match the actual product -- a 500pk refill of lens cleaning tissues. The picture above is for the lens cleaning station. This isn't that. That being said, the product works just fine for drying eyewear lenses without scratching them. The individual cloths seem rough, but they don't scratch eyeglass lenses or coatings, and they are very affordable. Always rinse glasses with water to remove any particles that could prove abrasive when drying them.
Doesn't scratch eyeglass lenses; successfully wiped away fingerprints and smears even without water.
Very tightly packaged -- the first 20 will be tough to get out.

Harvard Dental Suspends Classes and Closes Clinic Because Student May Have Swine Flu
Harvard dental school's treatment clinic was closed Thursday night by local health authorities after a student developed a probable case of swine flu, The Boston Globe reported today.
The university has temporarily suspended classes across the Longwood medical campus as well. The Boston Public Health Commission is checking to see whether any patients were treated by the student, who is now recovering, while he was contagious. The student may have picked up the virus by coming in contact with someone who had been to Mexico, the Globe reported.
The Globe also reported that Northeastern University has asked students not to shake hands with college officials as they receive their diplomas today during graduation ceremonies, which are expected to draw about 21,000 people.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says more than 100 cases of swine flu have now been diagnosed in the United States.
The International Association of Emergency Managers has created a Google map of swine-flu cases, where staff members are tracking reported outbreaks of the virus on college campuses. —Beth McMurtrie
