Paris restaurant, food and wine experiences
This article about Paris restaurants, wine bars and food shops represents the personal favourites of the editors Foodtourist, Sue Dyson and Roger McShane. These are the places they haunt on their regular visits to Paris. (Updated February 2017)
Paris remains to us one of the most exciting and compelling food cities in the world. It is a city in which you can splurge hundreds or thousands of dollars on a single meal or where you can get a meal cooked by an expert chef for as little as 30 euros as you can at a restaurant such as Clamato, Au Passage, Les Papilles or Aux Deux Amis and for a little more at night you can eat in great places such as Saturne or Septime.
So, where do we head for when we first arrive in Paris? Usually we stay in the 11th arrondissement so our favourite hang-out used to be James Henry's fabulous eatery called Bones. Unfortunately this restaurant has now closed so we favour nearby Clamato which is a convenient no-reservations restaurant. Drop in here and put your name down and then head over to Septime Cave for a drink while you wait for your table.
Another great option is Achille, the latest venture by Pierre Jancou. Here the talented Svante Forstorp is cooking very interesting vegetable and fish dishes which Pierre will match to his selection of some of the most interesting natural wines available.
If you are near rue Oberkampf then there are a few great options available, namely Aux Deux Amis which is just opposite the Verre Vole bottleshop and further up is La Buvette in rue Saint-Maur, the tiny space where the hospitable Camille Fourmont dispenses interesting natural wines and tasty snacks. In the same street is Le Servan where the Levha sisters, Tatiana and Katia, serve interesting, modern comfort food with interesting twists.
If you want a Michelin-style experience but don't want to take out a mortgage on your house to eat there, you might want to try the excellent food and wine program at Septime in the 11th. The food is excitingly different to the mainstream Parisian fare and the wine program one of the best in the city. We like to go to lunch here because the light in the restaurant is delightful and sets a calming mood on the patrons.
If you are on a tight budget then there are three relatively new places that we have enjoyed. Head to Ellsworth for small plates at very reasonable price, Hero for great Korean fried chicken and Grillé for the best kebabs in town.
We often head to rue Paul Bert where Bertrand Auboyneau runs a mini-empire comprising Bistrot Paul Bert, Le 6 Paul Bert and La Cave du Paul Bert all of which serve interesting and comforting food in a convivial atmosphere. The selection of natural wines available is also quite impressive.
Paris is the city of unrivalled food opportunities where you can dine at some of the most expensive restaurants in the world, wander to some of the best food shops to be found anywhere or simply sip a cup of coffee while watching cafe society in action. If you want to splurge on a 3 star meal then options to consider are L'Astrance (where the food is very controlled and careful), maybe Pierre Gagnaire (where the food can be very uncontrolled), perhaps the quietly elegant Taillevent or the slightly more radical Arpege where we recently had one of the best meals of our lives.
More and more these days we are attracted to the less formal bistros and the tiny cave-à-manger that somehow seem more connected with the soul of French food. This style of food probably reaches its purest expression in the funky Le Comptoir run by megastar chef Yves Camdebourde.
The food here is deeply rooted in tradition and executed with flawless precision by the chef. A dish of tripe we ate there recently was one of the most soulful dishes we have enjoyed in a long time. Turn up exactly at 12 noon to secure a table if you have not booked an evening meal. And, of course, there are two smaller spaces next door called l'Avant Comptoir and Comptoir de la Mer where you can squeeze into for snacks and a great array of natural wine.
Other places you might like to experience include the laid-back Astier in the 13th, the frenetic La Regalade in the 14th, Ribouldingue in the 5th with their offal-oriebted menu and the Alain Ducasse bistro Aux Lyonnais in the 2nd where the pike quenelles in nantua sauce are wonderful.
If you want to go to somewhere on the spur of the moment you
could also check out L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon which has a no-bookings policy
most of the time. Our last meal saw some bad lapses in service but the food is
always interesting and it provides a chance to try the famous mashed potatoes.
Good wine bars include Le Verre Vole in the 10th just next to the Canal Saint Martin where the newly renovated kitchen turns out some very good food to accompany the extensive range of natural wines that are available.
In recent years we have noted the emergence of classy wine bars and special places known as cave-à-manger where you can buy a bottle of wine to take home or you can take it to the table and have a simple meal. Examples are l'Entree des Artistes, l'Avant Comptoir, Cafe de la Nouvelle Mairie, Les Papilles, Verre Vole, Vivant Cave and Coinstot Vino.
Paris also has some of the best food shops in the world. And some of the best are not the traditional ones that everyone knows about such as Ladurée and Fauchon. Rather they are tiny jewels such as Pierre Herme (try the ice creams as well) or Jacques Genin or Da Rosa where products of exceptional quality are available. The best place to buy fresh pasta and other artisinal products is Pastificio Passerini Other places are capturing the limelight such as the Verre Vole Epicerie where we bought some fabulous sandwiches which comforted us during a layover at Orly airport. Another place for sandwiches that has come to our attention is the aptly named Chez Aline in the 11th which serves sandwiches of considerable quality.
Our favourite Paris restaurants
We have chosen the restaurants that provide a wide range of interesting and exciting dining experiences from three star dining to out-of-the-way places that are little more than a bar with a couple of tables.
Septime is the hottest place in Paris at present. You will find it at 80 rue de Charonne in the 11th. We have now eaten there on a number of occasions and all meals have been of the highest quality (and getting better with each visit).
The space is interesting - almost rustic in a NOMA sort of way. The food is fantastic with flavours bursting from every dish. The wine list is a careful compilation of the most interesting natural wines from France and Italy (and beyond) with even rare and obscure wines such as the Belluard Le Feu being available. And finally, the waiting staff are efficient, friendly and knowledgeable.
Bertrand Grébaut is gaining a great reputation for his cooking. Certainly enough to entice us back on a recent trip. We thought the food had gained coherence and the evening was very enjoyable. We like the fact that they are very serious about the food and wine served here but they do it all in a relaxed and friendly way.

We have come to love this restaurant due to the excellent food and the amazing array of natural wines on the list. The food is cooked with imagination and flair and the produce is always of the highest quality. The wine selection is excellent also.
Read our review here: Saturne restaurant, Paris
Clamato is a new venue owned by Bertrand Grébaut and Théo Pourriat of Septime. This delightful bar concentrates on the very freshest seafood and interseting, low-cost natural wines. Our recent meal here was stunning.
Read our review here: Clamato seafood restaurant, Paris
We recently had one of the best meals of our lives at this Parisian establishment. The food was sensational, and all the more enjoyable for being centered around vegetables as the heroes rather than protein. Alain Passard seems to get more enthusiastic about cooking as he gets older. The dishes that he had recently designed that we were served were exceptional. One tip - if you go there order the degustation rather than ordering from the a la carte menu. That way you will experience the freshest of produce brought in daily from his two farms.

Le Dauphin
The little cousin of the amazingly popular Chateaubriand next door. Every time we have dropped in here we have been delighted with the quality of the food and with the natural wine selection. The food is small plates but the servings are cleverly put together and represent amazing value for money.
Read our review here: Le Dauphin
Achille is the latest of Pierre Jancou's restaurant adventures. He is well known for his dedication to the promotion of natural wines and the very best produce available. We have been visiting his restaurants for many years now and have never had a disappointing meal.
Jancou's collaboration with talented chef Svante Forstorp has taken the food to new heights. It is bold, innovative and delicious. And, of course, there is an interesting selection of natural wines available.
Read our review here: Achille
Au Passage
This restaurant and wine bar in our current favourite part of Paris, the 11th, is receiving a lot of attention. It is also unbelievably good value. The produce is of the highest quality from excellent suppliers such as Joel Thiabault and Thierry Breton from Chez Michel who supplies the bread. And the wines are suitably natural with offerings from luminaries such as Emile Heredia.
Currently, a three course lunch is a mere 16.5 Euros!! We had the four course offering and it set us back 19.5 Euros. This is a must-visit venue!
Read our review here: Au Passage
Les Papilles
Another very special place that we love is Les Papilles. Here you dine in a wine shop with many interesting wines lining the walls. The menu is fixed. Four courses with no choice. But what food! We enjoy the conversations we get into here as people stroll along the shelves trying to choose the best wines to go with their meal. You can choose any wine from the shelves and they will open it for you for a small surcharge. A dish of long cooked pork belly and vegetables we had there recently was superb as was a dessert of pannacotta served in a chunky glass.
Read our review here: Les Papilles
Ellsworth is a pleasant small restaurant in Paris serving small plate dishes designed for sharing. The food is cooked with precision and flair and the wines are mainly natural. The restaurant is an offshoot from nearby veteran Verjus.
Read our review here: Ellsworth restaurant in Paris
Hero in Paris is an exciting restaurant serving Korean influenced food and a fascinating range of cocktails and sparkling natural wines that fit like a glove with the spicy food.
Read our review here: Hero restaurant in Paris
Ribouldingue Restaurant
No visit to Paris would be complete without a visit to Ribouldingue Restaurant in the 5th. The area around this restaurant is infested by tourists and there are many really bad eating places in the vicinity. However this one is different! Some of the best offal dishes in France are available here. We order dishes such as lamb tongues or marrow bones or a main course of a stunning and sparsely presented whole veal kidney or a dish of tripes au vin blanc and potatoes. And there is the wine list. It is packed with organic and biodynamic wines from throughout France.
Read our review here: Ribouldingue Restaurant
L'Ami Jean
Here you can enjoy great Basque-influenced cooking while enjoying one of the best-selected wine lists in Paris.We love this restaurant! The food is cooked with passion and skill and the wine list is amazing.
Read our review here: L'Ami Jean
Aux Deux Amis
Aux Deux Amis is a newcomer to the Paris dining scene. It is informal, lively and serves some of the best biodynamic and natural wines from throughout France. And the food and wine are very reasonably priced. Friday night is a big party!
Read our review here: Aux Deux Amis
Le Chateaubriand
Le Chateaubriand is a wonderful, old-fashioned bistro serving 'new' food in the 11th. The food cooked by Basque chef Inaki Aizpitarte is excellent and sometimes exciting and the natural wine list is new and clever. Go here for the buzz as much as the food. Sometimes a dish can fail. On one occasion the dessert failed and on another the dessert was superb but the overall experience was still interesting.
Read our review here: Le Chateaubriand
Restaurant Itineraires
Some very good food here although we have had reports of indifferent service. The day we went it was very good.
Read our review here: Restaurant Itineraires
Le Comptoir
A regular spot for us. This is a great bistro with fair prices for the quality of the food. Here you can try many of France's great bistro dishes, many which include offal. The wine list has some of France's natural wine treasures. Have a drink at l'Avant Comptoir (see Bars section) while waiting for a table.
Read our review here: Le Comptoir
Cafe de la Nouvelle Mairie
This cafe in the 5th serves good, honest, traditional French food in a lively atmosphere along with a long list of organic and biodynamic wines from throughout France. We love the atmosphere here and often turn up here for a long lunch. We love the fact that this cafe was run by Nicolas Carmarans who is now one of the leading producers of natural wine in central France.
Read our review here: Cafe de la Nouvelle Mairie
Le Repaire de Cartouche
Repaire de Cartouche is a gem of a restaurant in the 11th. The engaging owner directs proceedings to ensure that guests have a great time. The food is wonderful while being relatively reasonably priced. You must go here to try the terrines - the chef is an expert in the preparation of these French gems! The wine list has a great deal of depth with some very interesting older vintages. They have recently converted the downstairs section into a wine bar.
Read our review here: Le Repaire de Cartouche
We also have a great deal of affection for Spring. This is a restaurant run by an American chef (Daniel Rose) who is receiving a lot of praise from Parisians for his cooking. We have eaten here on a number of occasions in both the previous venue and the new swish premises and it has been excellent on all occasions. The wine list highlights many of France's natural wine producers such as Antoine Arena from Corsica.
Read our review here: Spring
Le Baratin
Le Baratin was one of the first bistros in Paris to move to an all-natural wine list. The food is simply presented and very good and the wine selection is amazing. Just leave the selection to the sommelier and you won't be disappointed. On our most recent visit we thoroughly enjoyed a wine from rising star of Haut-Cotes de Nuits, Yann Durieux.
Read our review here: Le Baratin
A great place for natural wine and some very good food. Some of the produce is sourced from the Arpege garden.
Read our review here: Racines
Coinstot Vino
Another good value venue in the same 'passage' as Racines is the new Coinstot Vino. It specialises in tasty food from good producers and the best of natural wines. They also have some interesting musical events here.
Read our review here: Coinstot Vino
Astier is a very good place to experience a typical Parisian bistro. The food is very good and the wine list features wine from throughout France including Corsica.
Read our review here: Astier
Aux Lyonnais
The Alain Ducasse empire has taken over many restaurants in Paris. This is one of them. However, it has the feel of a 19th century bistro. The service is slick and the food an excellent representation of Lyonnais cuisine.
Read our review here: Aux Lyonnais
Le Bistrot Paul Bert
This venue has the feel of a traditional bistro while having a very modern wine list packed with the stars of the natural wine movement.
Read our review here: Le Bistrot Paul Bert
Paris Coffee
Good coffee is rare in Paris. The coffee served in most of the famous coffee houses is weak and insipid and not worthy of this great food city. Coffee appears to be an essential part of the day for most Parisians but they don't seem to care about the quality.
In fact, the coffee is Paris, in fact most of France, is universally bad and controlled by large corporations such as Cafés Richard who create mediocre coffee blends and market them to the millions.
Luckily the situation is changing slowly with a few serious coffee shops opening. We can only highly recommend one!
Ten Belles
Ten Belles is clearly one of the best coffee houses and breakfast/brunch venues in Paris. The young staff are passionate about the coffee that they serve. The food is simple yet delicious. A great venue and a good vibe.
We also like their new venue called Ten Belles Bread on rue Breguet.
Read our review here: Ten Belles
La Cafeotheque de Paris
La Cafeotheque de Paris is a vibrant coffee lounge quite close to the River Seine which breaks the stereotype of bad coffee in Paris coffee houses. The coffee here is seriously good and can compete with great coffee places such as Blue Bottle in San Francisco and Single Origin in Sydney.
It is such a relief to find a small, intimate place such as this in a quiet location near the Seine (52 rue de l'Hotel de Ville) which serves such exquisite coffee that is neither bitter nor bland but rather robustly flavoured and fresh from recent roasting.
Read our review here: La Cafeotheque de Paris
Bal Cafe
We managed to get to Bal Cafe on our most recent trip to Paris - but on the last day we were there so we didn't get an opportunity to re-visit. They did have a good wine list - we had a wine from one of the Loire Valley's most exciting winemakers Lebled. The coffee was very good!
Telescope is a venue we love to visit - and not only for the very good coffee here. We also love the simple food. And when we say simple we are not being dismissive. We are saying that this food appears simple but has lots of flavour and energy. We recently called in here and had a very good breakfast consisting of a dish with yoghurt with very fresh hazelnuts and a swirl of honey and a lovely toasted sandwich filled with tomago. Telescope is close to the Palais-Royal which is on the rue Villedo.
L'Arbre a cafe
L'Arbre a Cafe is both a brand of coffee and a venue in the trendy rue de Nil. But it is one for you to keep an eye out for because it is now served by some of the best restaurants in Paris. It is the brand of coffee obsessive Hippolyte Courty who we first met in Hong Kong where is is involved in a delightful wine store called La Cabane a Vin in Hollywood Road.
Formerly an historian, Hippolyte began researching coffee after failing to find good coffee in Paris and he started travelling the world searching for new and interesting varieties and then brining them back to Paris to roast.
One of his plantations is that of biodynamic producer Henrique Sloper de Araújo in Brazil (it is no coincidence as Hippolyte is also an ardent fan of biodynamic wines) where he sources the cult, complexly-flavoured "Jacu Bird" coffee beans.
We have found his coffee at Philou (a very nice bistro) and Le Verre Vole in the 10th, Saturne in the 2nd, Le Dauphin, Le Bistrot Paul Bert, Aux Deux Amis and Le Chateaubriand in the 11th, the laid-back Café de la Nouvelle Mairie in the 5th, Da Rosa in the 6th.
Outside Paris we had a very nice espresso made with this coffee at Un Ile in Angers, again at l'Herbe Rouge in Valaire and at La Cave Voltaire after a pleasant lunch in Chinon.
Paris food shops
Paris is unequalled in the quality of its food shops. Other cities might have more, other cities may have bigger, other cities may have newer, but rarely do they match the consistent excellence of places such as Pierre Herme and Jacques Genin.
Wine bars
Many of the wine bars in Paris provide an excellent selection of wines from small producers throughout the country. Some, such as La Cremerie and Le Verre Vole specialise in 'natural wines' - those wines made without the use of chemicals in the vineyard or additives in the wine making process. Our latest discoveries are l'Avant Comptoir and the amazing l'Entree des Artistes.
One note here. Many guides mention Willi's Wine Bar and Juveniles as places to drink, however our visits to these venues over the last two years have been desultory. There has been no spark from the staff, no excitement, no enthusiasm for taking you on a journey of discovery.
Wine Shops
There are many good wine shops in the Paris. We tend to go to those specialising in natural wines or at least who stock some natural wines.
One of the great attractions of the Paris is the range of markets you can visit. We particularly like the President Wilson market which is one of the best fruit and vegetable markets you will find anywhere.

In a report, the committee said it was "highly questionable" whether strip stamps were the best way to combat fraud.
It had urged the chancellor to scrap the controversial plan.
However, a Treasury spokesman said there was no "serious alternative" and if there was, "we would take it".
A strongly-worded statement continued: "But the simple fact is that through three years of detailed work with the industry no one has come up with such an alternative and nor has the select committee in this report.
"We are now working closely with the industry on the implementation of tax
stamps, and ways to reduce the costs for companies. "
The cross-party group of MPs sitting on the committee had said they were "far from convinced" that the government had fully considered all possible alternatives to tackle fraud.
Mr Brown wants to combat fraud on duty, which the Treasury estimates is worth £600m a year.
The industry disagrees with the figure, although it says it is willing to work with ministers to tackle the extent of the problem.
The industry had proposed an alternative system of guarantees which it claimed would be more effective.
It has warned that the stamps, which are intended to provide physical proof that duty has been paid on each bottle, will damage competitiveness while doing little to tackle spirits fraud.
However, the chancellor announced in his Budget that he would be pressing ahead with the plans.
The Scottish Affairs Committee's report said there was uncertainty about level of spirits fraud.
The issue is due to be discussed by MPs on Tuesday during the passage of the Finance Bill.
Scottish National Party MP Angus Robertson said the evidence given to the committee had been overwhelmingly against the introduction of strip stamps.
The vice-chairman of the all-party Scotch Whisky Industry group said: "There are a host of convincing reasons why strip stamps are a very bad idea, and any one of them should be reason enough not to be introduced on an industry which employs tens of thousands of people across the length and breadth of the country.
"It does not counter fraud in the most effective way and it is uncompetitive and will undermine the industry."
He said the industry had placed a fully-costed anti-fraud package on the table.


text: Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: GILD), together with Mylan Laboratories, Ranbaxy Laboratories Limited and Strides Arcolab, announced today that they have entered into agreements to collaborate on promoting access to high-quality, low-cost generic versions of Gilead's HIV medicine emtricitabine (FTC) in developing countries – including single tablet regimens containing emtricitabine, and fixed-dose combinations of emtricitabine co-formulated with other Gilead HIV medicines. Under the new agreements Gilead will provide a technology transfer for the manufacture of emtricitabine, together with funding to assist with investment in process improvements to reduce overall manufacturing costs. World Health Organization guidelines recommend emtricitabine, as well as tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), as preferred components of first- and second-line HIV therapy. However, cost is currently a barrier to broadening access to regimens that include emtricitabine when compared to other regimens, including widely used lamivudine (3TC)-based regimens. The new agreements are designed to enable Gilead's Indian generic partners to produce high volumes of FTC/TDF-based therapies, thereby establishing sustainable price parity to these alternative regimens. "More than 2.7 million patients living with HIV in developing countries are currently receiving a TDF-containing regimen, a medicine innovated by Gilead and subsequently licensed to our Indian generic partners as part of our efforts to increase global access to effective treatment. India's pharmaceutical industry is a world leader in process chemistry, and our ongoing collaboration will be critical for furthering access to affordable, high-quality, first-line HIV treatment for developing countries," said John C. Martin, PhD, Gilead's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Heather Bresch, Chief Executive Officer of Mylan Inc., commented: "An essential component of ensuring access to affordable health care around the world is providing access to high-quality, cost-effective medications. Access to affordable medicine continues to be a particularly acute need in tackling HIV/AIDS, and once again we are delighted to be collaborating with Gilead in these efforts. Partnerships like this one ensure that patients in developing markets have access to important, recommended treatment options, like emtricitabine."


text: 9:45 a.m. 15A01-1110-MI-537. The State filed a motion to transfer cash seized from Dante Adams to federal authorities for the purpose of commencing forfeiture proceedings. The State did not serve the motion on Adams. The Dearborn Circuit Court granted the State's motion and denied Adams' motion for rehearing. The Court of Appeals concluded that because the statute permitting the State to transfer seized property to federal authorities contemplates a lawful search, Adams was entitled to challenge the legality of the search and seizure prior to transfer of the cash to federal authorities. The State therefore erred in failing to give Adams notice of its motion. The error, however, was harmless because Adams could not show prejudice.

1. Life is a Bowl of Cherries. Cherries boast an alphabetical punch of vitamins A, C and E, as well as phytochemicals that help block the formation of breast, lung, liver, stomach and skin cancers. Add the fiber factor and the medicinal properties that help fight gout, and you can't say no to cherries!
2. Melon Mania. Cantaloupe, aka Muskmelon, is chocked full of potassium, vitamin C and beta carotene. If that weren't enough, how about some disease-fighting properties that help you control blood pressure, protect against cancer and lower your cholesterol? Cool sliced cantaloupe is a terrific way to start your day!
3. Beet It. Another colorful entry into the top skinny foods from summer is, believe it or not, BEETS. Yes, beets. Not the icky pickled kind found on salad bars that no one touches, the fresh variety. They're at their peak in summer months and both the greens and the bulb can be eaten. Yes, they can stave off cancer and are folate-rich, an essential nutrient for fighting birth defects. Grate the purple part into your salad and chop the tops, saut in olive and garlic for a satisfying side dish.
4. Big on Basil. Who can say no to fresh basil, sliced tomatoes and fresh mozzarella drizzled with olive oil in the middle of summer? Not me! But basil is more than a fabulous summer flavor; it too, helps prevent cancerous changes in cells. Add to that the digestive benefit of helping to quell gaseous spasms (you know what I'm trying to discreetly suggest!), you have one of nature's most powerful herbs.
5. Provocative Avocados. Don't freak out — I know they have a lot of fat. But a little goes a long way and the monounsaturated fats that are in there help improve triglyceride levels and bring down cholesterol. Bring on the guacamole — I make mine with minced red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice and a dash of chipotle salsa — viva los avocados!
6. Okra-at-Home-a. In the South, we deep-fry it, but don't you do that if you want the health and nutrition benefits of lovely okra. Try sauting it in a little olive oil with some garlic for a taste treat. Okra is full of glutathione, a compound that attacks cancer. Additionally, the vitamin C content is nothing to sneeze at, nor is the magnesium or fiber!
7. Onion Rings. Not the kind you're thinking. I'm talking fresh — the kind you chop, cook, saut or eat raw in rings. Onions may help lower blood pressure, relieve congestion and reduce inflammation as well as decrease your risk of cancer. And when you add to that the fact that they are both cheap and low in calories, let's eat onions on everything. Got Tic-Tacs?
8. Pick Parsley. Yes, plain ordinary parsley makes the list. You can chop this up, keep it in the fridge and scatter it atop anything. Did you know parsley can help relieve a urinary tract infection as well as help with PMS? Oh yes, but wait there's more. It's also full of vitamin C, folate and can help you freshen your breath (that's kinda important if you're eating lots of number 7!).
9. Pine for Pineapple. This wonderful tropical fruit is known for its digestive-improvement capabilities — supplement companies even sell pineapple enzymes. It's also helpful for keeping bones strong (lots of manganese), fighting colds (tons of vitamin C) and lowering the risk of cancer and heart disease.
10. Tons of Tomatoes. Tomatoes have been on my lists before, but I can't have a summer list of healthy, skinny foods without mentioning my favorite, the big juicy tomato (just make sure they're either homegrown, or the ones on the vine. Also, cherry and grape tomatoes are fine). Tomatoes are known for reducing the risk of cancer and preventing cataracts. The vitamin C content, A and potassium and iron, make it one big nutritional mega food that should not be missed, especially in the summer when they are in their prime. Go back to number 4 for my very favorite summer salad!

WALLA WALLA, Wash. -- In a Northwest Conference match featuring dramatic twists and turns, Linfield outlasted Whitman 27-25, 26-28, 25-12, 11-25, 15-9 in the season-ending match for both clubs Saturday night at Sherwood Center.
Linfield ends the season 4-12 in the NWC and 8-15 overall, sweeping the season series from the Missionaries. Whitman concludes 5-11 in conference action and 7-22 overall.
The first set was a back-and-forth affair that saw Whitman with a chance to win it with a 25-24 lead, before the Wildcats rattled off three straight points to take the set. The swing of momentum featured a Whitman passing error, a block, and a Whitman attack error.
Linfield nearly took a 2-0 lead in the match when the Wildcats built a 24-21 advantage in the second set, but the Missionaries staved off defeat by scoring three straight points to tie, the third coming on a kill down the line by Whitman's Jillian Davis, one of her 20 kills on the night. Linfield was at the doorstep of victory twice more but Whitman responded each time, finally closing out the set on a block and and a slicing kill by Alex Braverman.
Linfield went to work quickly in the third set, grabbing an early 14-8 lead and never easing up, winning going away 25-12.
An inspired Whitman team came out in the fourth set and dominated. With the Missionaries leading 15-11, Natalia Zea had a hand in eight of the next 10 points, delivering three kills and combining on five blocks as the Missionaries evened the match at two sets a piece.
The deciding saw the Wildcats dart out to an 8-3 lead. The Missionaries pulled to within 9-6 on a kill by Shae Kanakaole. Linfield won the three of the next four points to make it 12-7. Whitman cut the lead to 12-9 but could get no closer.
Kailana Ritte-Camara powered down two kills to give the Wildcats a 14-9 advantage. An attack error by Whitman ended the contest.
Ritte-Camara smacked a team-high 21 kills and added 16 digs. Sam Hammons had 11 kills and 10 digs. Victoria Thompson contributed nine kills and a pair of block assists. Casie Gaza (Sr., Mililani, Hawaii) totaled 28 assists and nine digs while Audrey Frazier had 15 assists and 11 digs. Freshman Molly McTaggart (Sr., Burlington, Wash.) was sharp at the net, registering one solo block and five block assists to go with three kills.
Taylor Aschenbrenner provided 45 assists for Whitman.

Gains in Asia and Africa are making up for losses in Europe among the world's 1.2 billion Catholics, according to Vatican statistics released Monday, signaling a shift of the church's center of gravity toward the Global South that was heralded by the election of the first Latin American pope.
Data published in the 2013 Statistical Yearbook of the Church also show that while the number of priests in the Americas and in Europe is declining compared to the overall Catholic population, those losses were offset by increasing ranks of permanent deacons.
There are now about 41,000 permanent deacons worldwide, a 40 percent increase over the past decade. The vast majority of them -- 97.4 percent -- live in the Americas or in Europe.
According to Maureen Tilley of Fordham University, the diaconate is becoming increasingly appealing to "older 'second-career' men" as younger men remain reluctant to take the vow of celibacy required by the priesthood.
"The number of second-career vocations has been booming not just among Catholics but also among U.S. Protestants," she said.
Moreover, according to Tilley, high unemployment may be another factor, leading men to consider a "broader variety of vocations such as volunteer service including a call to the diaconate."
According to Vatican data, the Catholic population worldwide surpassed 1.2 billion in 2011.
But while growth in the Americas and Europe mirrored the growth of the general population, Catholic growth in Africa and Asia was almost double the regions' population growth.
The world's 413,418 priests at the end of 2011 showed a slight increase from the previous year, continuing a trend of slow growth that began in 2000 after decades of decline.
A rapid increase in vocations in Africa and Asia -- to the tune of more than 3,000 new priests in a year -- balanced the shrinking ranks of the priesthood in Europe. In the Americas, the number of priests remained stable.
Data provided by the Vatican's statistics office doesn't distinguish between North and South America.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras' State Address
fellow Greek citizens,
During the last few months we all experienced difficult and dramatic moments.
The tough negotiation with the creditors was a difficult challenge for both the government and the country.
The pressure, the blackmail, the ultimatums, the financial asphyxiation led to a situation without precedent.
We all lived through this.
However, we did so with patience, composure, and the endurance of our people.
The determination of our people, as recorded by the referendum.
The decision to change, to change the country, to change all that led us to the crisis and the deterioration of social conditions.
Let's be clear:
Without this popular determination the creditors would have either completely imposed their will.
Or they would have led us to destruction.
This determination was present at each stage of the negotiations.
This determination reinforced our resolve, as we battled on a daily basis against the often-irrational demands and threats of the creditors.
Today, this difficult phase conclusively ends with the ratification of the agreement, the disbursement of the first instalment of the 23 billion euros and the payment of the country's obligations both abroad and at home.
The economy will receive a boost. The market will normalize. The banks will soon return to regular activity.
Of course, this is not the end of the difficult situation that we have been facing for the last five years.
It is my conviction, however, that it can be—through consistent work and effort on all of our parts—the beginning of the end of this difficult situation.
The decisive step towards stabilizing the financing of our economy.
A beginning that won't be easy, but that will hold prospects and possibilities.
As long as society is fully behind this.
Calm and determined, as during these past months.
My fellow Greek citizens,
I want to be completely honest with you.
We did not achieve the agreement that we were hoping to achieve prior to January's elections.
We also did not experience the reaction that we had been anticipating.
In this battle we made concessions.
But we obtained a deal that — given the overwhelmingly negative conditions in Europe and the fact that we inherited the absolute attachment of the country to the memoranda terms — was the best that one could achieve.
We are obliged to adhere to this agreement but, at the same time, we will fight to minimize its negative consequences.
Based on the interests of the majority.
In order to reclaim, as soon as possible, our sovereignty against our creditors.
Without accepting their interpretations as infallible truths.
Without accepting horizontal cuts, the destruction of labor, the permanent decimation of the weakest social forces.
And we have already proven that we can do this, that we can persist and achieve a lot of things.
Consider the position of the partners prior to this agreement:
A five-month extension of the previous programme, full implementation of the previous government's commitments and then new prerequisites.
At this time, following the referendum, we have an approved three-year deal, with secure funding.
Also bear in mind that the partners were asking for the immediate abolition of EKAS, the privatization of IPTO and of the secondary tier of the PPC.
The above were not accepted—a win for us on these issues.
The partners were also asking for the implementation of a zero deficit clause concerning the supplementary funds.
In the agreement there is an explicit reference regarding equivalent measures and we are ready to take up the charge on this.
Also, the restoration of labor relations and the prevention of the liberalization of collective redundancies in the private sector is our unwavering goal, and I believe we will achieve it.
The redundancies in the public sector are now a thing of the past and the school guards, the cleaners and the universities' administrative staff have been restored to their positions.
There is no longer a 5 euro fee in the hospitals, while the recruitment process for 4,500 medical and nursing staff that are direly needed is moving ahead through the Supreme Council for Civil Personnel Selection (ASEP).
Let us also not forget that we have agreed upon dramatically smaller surpluses than the previous government, so that the fiscal adjustment – the required measures – is lower by 20 billion euros.
Furthermore, the new loan agreement is not subject to the colonial nature of English law that the Greek governments agreed upon in previous agreements, but rather is governed by European and international law, allowing our country to maintain all the privileges and immunities that safeguard public property.
And finally, this is the first time that the procedure concerning the write-down of the Greek debt has been determined in such an explicit and unequivocal manner, which is perhaps the most crucial aspect to solving the Greek problem.
We gained considerable ground but this does not mean that we achieved what we, and the people, expected.
My fellow Greek citizens,
Now that this difficult cycle has reached its end,
And contrary to the usual stance of many who unfortunately believe that they are entitled to keep their positions, their seats, their offices regardless of the conditions and circumstances
I feel a deep moral and political obligation for you to judge all that I have done.
Both the positive results and the mistakes.
Both the successes and the missteps.
That is why I have decided to go to the President of the Republic shortly, to submit my resignation, as well as the resignation of the government.
The scope of the popular mandate that I received on 25th January has been exhausted.
And now the sovereign people must express their opinion once more.
You, through your vote, will determine whether we represented the country with the determination and courage required during the difficult negotiations with the creditors.
You, through your vote, will decide whether the agreement achieved provides the conditions to overcome the crisis, for the economy to recover and for us to finally begin the efforts to put an end to the memoranda and the resultant harsh conditions.
You, through your vote, will decide who should lead Greece—and how—in this difficult, but at last promising, path ahead of us.
Who can better negotiate the debt write-down, and how that can be done.
Who can move forward—and how—at a confident and steady pace, with the necessary, deep, progressive reforms that the country needs.
Finally, you will judge all of us through your vote.
Those of us that consistently fought for our country, both here and abroad, so that Greece would not to find itself at gunpoint.
And those that claimed that Greece should receive loans, i.e. a memorandum, but in drachmas—as a matter of ideological consistency—who converted the majority that the people gave us, the first government of the Left in the country, into a parliamentary minority.
As well as those from the old political system and those colluding with their efforts, who during these past months called on us and pressed us, in line with the strictest creditors' demands, to sign anything that was placed in front of us.
By even slandering our resistance as alleged stalling.
My fellow Greek citizens,
I rely on your judgment with a clear conscience.
Proud of the efforts made by my government, and my own.
During this entire period, I strived to remain faithful to what we had promised.
We negotiated decisively and persistently, and stayed the course.
We withstood pressures and blackmail.
It is true that we pushed matters to the brink for the people and the economy.
However, we also turned the Greek case into a global issue.
We turned the resistance of our people into an incentive of struggle for other European peoples.
And Europe will not be the same following these difficult six months.
The notion that an end must finally be put to austerity is gaining ground.
The differences among the democratic and progressive European forces are being increasingly felt.
And we, Greece, with a prestige and a scope much larger than our size, played, and are playing, a leading role in the forthcoming changes.
Greece will be at the forefront of the discussion concerning Europe's future.
Yesterday, I submitted a written request to the President of the European Parliament that the European Parliament, as an institution with direct democratic legitimacy, play an active role in the Greek program.
Transparency, open democratic debate, democratic accountability and impact assessment will be an integral part from now on of the implementation of our agreement with the partners.
My fellow Greek citizens,
During this period, despite the tough negotiation and the difficult conditions, we also managed to engage in a different way of governing.
The one hundred-instalment regulation, the measures on the humanitarian crisis, the opening of ERT, the bill concerning the broadcasting frequencies, the law regarding immigrants, the decisive intervention to stop the environmental crime in Skouries, and dozens of other measures and initiatives are proof of our commitment to governing in a new way.
These actions also attest to our decision to change the country with courage and confidence, by capitalizing on social support for reform objectives.
We still have many battles ahead, this time within the country.
The fight against collusion and corruption, which we have already commenced.
The fight to finally have those who have been perennially benefiting to also pay, a group that no one has dared touch until now.
The battle for justice to be applied to those who until now have been above the law.
The fight against tax evasion, for a fair and stable tax system.
The mother of all battles–to change the state mechanism so that it becomes more effective.
Friendlier towards citizens.
Unfriendly towards political favors, partisanship and corruption.
And all of this requires a clear mandate and a strong government to firmly hold the course without wavering.
And above all, it requires the support of society.
The support of those who want changes in line with democracy, progressive reforms, transparency and justice.
My fellow Greek citizens,
I remain optimistic, despite the difficulties.
I believe that we have not yet experienced the positive outcomes that lie ahead, trapped until now by the pressures of the negotiation.
I will ask for the vote of the Greek people in order for us to govern and apply all aspects of our governmental programme.
More experienced, better prepared, more practical, but always committed to the ultimate goal of a free, democratic, and socially just Greece, we will remain dedicated and consistent as we face the new conditions.
I assure you, I will not forfeit nor will we forfeit our ideas and values.
Regardless of the difficulties.
And I invite all of you, together, to calmly and decisively fight for a better future for our country.
In these difficult times, we must hold on to—and champion—what matters most: our country and our democracy.
Thank you.

In Puzzlewood you will find strange rock formations, secret caves and ancient trees, which have kept locals guessing for centuries as to what hand or force could have created such a unique and eerie landscape, aptly named "Puzzlewood".
How was the landscape formed?
The geological feature on show at Puzzlewood are known locally as Scowles. Scowles are a significant geological features and originated through the erosion of natural underground cave systems formed in the carboniferous limestone many millions of years ago. Uplift and erosion caused the cave system to become exposed at the surface. This was then exploited by Iron Age settlers through to Roman times for the extraction of iron ore.
The Puzzlewood Treasure
Evidence of Roman occupation of the area is supported by the discovery of a hoard of over 3,000 3rd Century AD Roman coins which were found in the Scowles of Puzzlewood. Once the Romans left, nature reclaimed the old workings with moss and trees, to create the unique landscape. The historical use soon became forgotten, and the folklore of "Puzzlewood" began.
In 1848 some workmen, after moving a block of stone in the woods, found a small cavity in the rocks. In this cavity, hidden away, were three earthenware jars containing over 3,000 Roman coins. No one knows why the coins were hidden away in the cliff face nor by whom. And could there be other treasures within Puzzlewood waiting to be discovered?
Are the paths natural?
In the early 1800s a local landowner laid down a mile of pathways which meandered through the trees and gulleys to open up this ancient forest originally for the amusement of his friends and children. Then, in the early 1900s, Puzzlewood opened to the public, with an honesty box at the gate for the benefit of the local church. Since then it is has remained essentially unchanged with the same pathways and bridges as in earlier times, but with the addition of visitor facilities on the Puzzlewood site.

Oliver Cromwell's male line surname was Williams. The family adopted the surname Cromwell after the famous Thomas Cromwell, a maternal relative, Bartrum takes Williams alias Cromwell back through Bleddyn ap Cynfyn and Gwaithfoed of Powys to Casnar who lived around 500 AD, evidently in Wales or Western England. I think it is the same male line as a Talley family and a Price family, but not the Vortigern descended Price family. There is no Cromwell in ysearch, but of the 49 with the name Talley the closest is 26 of 67 genetic distance from R1b1c7 modal. So rest your fears about Cromwell.

One game removed from an emotionally-draining, come-from-behind victory, Crescenta Valley High was predictably sluggish early, but used a 28-point second half to subdue host Glendale last Friday night, 35-14, in a Pacific League football battle.
For a portion of the evening, the two played on even terms until a muffed punt in the third quarter gave CV the ball at Glendale's 19-yard line.
Junior running back Marro Lee, who scored the game-winner the previous week against La Canada, carried the ball three times for 17 yards, with quarterback Zac Wilkerson (32 yards and eight rushes) getting the final two yards and 6:35 showing on the clock as the Falcons surged to a 14-7 lead.
"It was that mistake, that one mistake,'' said Glendale Head Coach Alan Eberhart. "It wasn't one touchdown, it was two and three touchdowns that did it. They say the breaks even out. Over the last three games, it hasn't gone our way yet."
Lee has tallied five touchdowns covering the last two games, and finished with 135 yards and 24 carries.
"We were in trouble,'' said Paul Schilling, the CV Head Coach. "That muffed punt was huge, because we did not play a good first half."
Glendale (0-4 and 0-1 in league) went three-and-out on its next possession, and a 15-yard punt set up the Falcons at the Nitros' 22.
Six plays later, with Lee scoring on a one-yard run as 3:04 remained in the third quarter, Crescenta Valley (3-1 and 1-0 in league) held a 21-7 advantage.
The Falcons scored on their third straight possession when Glendale was forced to punt after gaining one yard.
The drive began at the Nitros' 49-yard line, and using six runs and an incomplete pass, Lee carried the ball in from nine yards, forging a 28-7 lead with 10:02 left in the final quarter.
CV (351 total net yards) made it four consecutive possessions with a touchdown, this time driving 38 yards and consuming 10 plays, with running back Paul Perugini scoring from five yards and 2:52 showing on the clock.
When Glendale quarterback Alex Yoon raced 63 yards for a touchdown about a minute later, the lead was trimmed to 21 points.
Yoon didn't attempt a pass in the opening half, and connected on two of four for two yards.
The Nitros gained 196 yards on the ground, 122 in the first half, with Yoon churning out 83 yards on seven carries, and Alex Manukian accounting for 68 yards on 10 rushes.
After a scoreless first quarter, the Falcons took a 7-0 lead when Wilkerson (five of nine for 61 yards with one interception) orchestrated a 10-play, 67-yard march that he punctuated with a one-yard sneak as 8:05 remained on the clock.
Manukian's 43-yard punt return gave Glendale the ball at the CV five-yard line. Four plays later, wide receiver Alejandro Maravilla tied it at 7-7 when he scored on a one-yard dive and 17 seconds left before intermission.

They abandoned me, I thought they loved me, I thought I brought them happiness.

Then, one dark day, they changed.
The relationship turned sour.
I remained silent when they dragged me from the house, I knew words would be futile. I could wait. Revenge, as they say, is a dish is best served cold. I plan to choke them while they sleep.

Michael Craig spent the first three years of the new millennium obsessing about fridges. A minor law change, designed to protect the environment, resulted in the cessation of retailer take back scheme for refrigerators. This did nothing to slow the sales of new modern kitchen equipment. The old units, 90% of which were in full working order, were dumped on the streets. I started photographing these abandoned home appliances soon after the change in law. At first I needed to search for fridges. As the months past, the streets filled. local councils were caught completely by surprise. With nowhere to store these pavement squatters, they were left in situ. Some were cannibalised. Some were recycled into impromptu seating at bus stops. Some were used as much needed litter bins.

OPPOSITION councillors in Trafford claim the electorate was misled about a £6m shortfall in the announced budget for 2014/2015.
Labour councillors allege the Tory administration failed to reveal when it first knew of the additional savings requirement ahead of May's local elections.
This was disputed by the leader of the authority Cllr Sean Anstee, who admitted they informed both the Labour and Lib-Dem leaders of the potential miscalculation at the end of March.
Trafford Council revealed in June, that following a review of its original budget, cuts in the current budget of up to £17 million would increase to £23 million.
According to local authority bosses the underestimate was made in costs associated with caring for vulnerable people in the borough, particularly the elderly and adults with a learning difficulties, which it said had increased considerably compared to previous assumptions
At an extraordinary meeting held last month to discuss the issues, Labour demanded answers over what it termed as a "black hole" in the budget.
Labour's finance spokesman Cllr Tom Ross said: 'Clearly Cllr Anstee doesn't want to answer my question because his executive knew about this mess months ago.
"He should have been honest with residents from the outset rather than hiding the facts and acting out of crude political expediency, so I ask him again: when did his executive know and why did he keep it out of the public domain for so long?"
Cllr Anstee told the Messenger: " At all times, I had the same information as the leader's of both the Labour Party and Liberal Democrats, and we were informed at the end of March of an issue. It was at this point, I asked for an urgent investigation to commence.
"It was not known prior to the election the full impact of the ?issue nor would it have been appropriate to speculate. Labour in Trafford insist on twisting this very serious issue, dealt with professionally, into a story they can use for their own political interests. That in itself is staggering.".
Cllr Anstee said the authority would shortly publish its response on how the additional £6m demand cuts would impact on services adding: "it is committed to being open and transparent".

The federal government has outsourced defence jobs to overseas manufacturers at the same time as it imposes new requirements on miners to use local content.
The proportion of contracts awarded to local defence companies has fallen from 80 per cent to just 53 per cent since 2007, an analysis by the NSW-based Australian Business Defence Industry Unit has found.
The study comes at a sensitive time for the government as manufacturers continue to lay off staff, citing the high dollar and structural change, prompting the government's recent $1 billion manufacturing jobs strategy.
The defence analysis examined 83,742 tenders let by the government weapons purchaser the Defence Materiel Organisation through Austender, ranging from professional services through to the most expensive fighter purchases.
The DMO manages 170 defence projects worth more than $100 billion and maintains 54 per cent of projects are let to locally based companies.
The analysis also found the average contract awarded to Australian companies was lower in value, than contracts awarded to Britain, the US and European based companies.
"At a time when the federal government is releasing policies designed to boost Australian industry and jobs, Australia-based defence companies are being side-lined for foreign companies and most notably contracts placed with the US government,'' Australian Business Defence Industry Unit Manager Graeme Dunk told TheAustralian Financial Review.
"The federal government's awarding of contracts to Australian based companies has plummeted from 80 per cent to 53 per cent over the past five years," he said. That represents a cumulative loss of $8 billion in economic activity for the Australian defence industry – a major blow to a sector that is already dealing with a shrinking federal defence budget."
While there was anecdotal evidence of the shift to offshore purchasing, Mr Dunk said the increase in purchasing through US foreign military sales, which accounts for 40 per cent of total contracts, was stunning.
Though Australia's defence industry is now dominated by overseas defence giants if the tender was won by the Australian subsidiary it was classified as a local contract.
"Foreign military sales represent a valid approach for the acquisition of some defence capabilities, but it can't be allowed to be the norm at the expense of local skills and local jobs,'' Mr Dunk said.
The Gillard government is already under fire for axing or deferring defence projects worth up to $25 billion since 2009; last year's budget imposed the biggest cuts in percentage terms since the Korean war in 1953.
DMO's own figures show the industry has shed 5000 jobs since 2009 at a time when the government has signalled its intention to build up the skills base to take on the ambitious project to build 12 submarines in Adelaide at a cost of up to $36 billion.
Australian Industry Defence Network said smaller operators had been hard hit by the double whammy of budget cutbacks and more work going offshore. "This analysis only confirms a trend we already knew was underway anecdotally,'' AIDN president Graham Priestnall said. He said Townsville and Darwin had lost up to 80 per cent their defence sales.
Australian Strategic Policy Institute analyst Mark Thomson said "given the globalisation of defence industry, it's inevitable that work will increasingly go offshore''.
"Australia lacks viable economies of scale to maintain a defence production base,'' Dr Thomson said.
"Major defence projects only occur in Australia when the government is willing to pay a premium—either to retain strategically important industry capabilities or to supposedly 'create jobs','' he added.
Defence Minister Stephen Smith has continued to drive a robust weapons purchasing reform process within defence insisting all projects be benchmarked against a military off the shelf option in an effort to get better value for money for Australian taxpayers.
The government has also made a number of defence equipment buys where the capability was simply not available within Australia including pressing ahead with the $4 billion purchase of 24 Boeing Super Hornet fighters and $3 billion outlay on six Boeing C-17 transport aircraft.

A rolling dibble marker for easy transplant spacing
A series of tip sheets on labor efficiency for fresh-market
Hand transplanting seedlings into the field can be tedious and time-consuming. Some growers lay a tape measure or knotted string on the planting bed to space transplants evenly. Others just estimate plant spacing with their eyes. Many growers then use a hand trowel to dig holes for the transplants. A rolling dibble marker, or dibble drum, is a tool that helps you transplant seedlings faster and more accurately. The hand-pulled tool rolls across the planting bed, punching or scooping transplant holes into the soil at regular intervals.
How does it work?
You walk down the path beside the prepared planting bed, pulling the dibble drum behind you by its handle. As it rolls along, "dibbles", or scoops which are screwed into a PVC drum at regular intervals, create indentations in the soil for transplants. In loose soil, the dibble drum will dig holes but in heavy or compact soil it will mark locations for transplant holes. After rolling the dibble drum along your planting bed, plant transplants into the holes or scoop marked holes with a trowel.
Why use a dibble drum?
Saves time. You can set out, plant and water in transplants 24% faster when using a dibble drum to space and dig holes, compared to visually estimating spacing and using a trowel.
More accurate.
If you mark your planting bed with a dibble drum, you will ensure exact
spacing of your transplants in a grid pattern, even when the task is performed
by inexperienced workers. Consistent spacing makes weeding easier, since
you can use a hand hoe or wheel hoe in two directions or use a mechanical
cultivator. Accurate plant spacing will conserve bed space and maintain
plant quality. Even experienced growers tend to overestimate plant spacing,
which can waste productive land. If growers underestimate spacing, plants
can be crowded and yield might suffer.
It can be complicated and time consuming to explain how to space transplants
to inexperienced field hands. With a dibble drum, you can instruct workers
to simply roll the drum down the planting bed and set one plant in each

Any good card based RPG's out there?
Hey guys and gals.
What I am looking for I guess is kind of niche so I haven't been able to find the perfect game yet. After seeing http://www.cardhunter.com I looked for similar games but couldn't really find one. I am also following Mojangs (sp?) Scrolls which has some very nice potential. I tried Battleforge but couldn't really get into it (too much emphasis on spending $$$).
Any advice appreciated!

Google Takes Government Data Public
"The tool, called Google Public Data, is the latest in the company's efforts to make information from federal, state and local governments accessible to citizens. It's a goal that many Washington public interest groups and government watchdogs share with President Obama, whose technology advisers are pushing to open up federal data to the public.
The company plans to initially make available U.S. population and unemployment data from the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, respectively. Other data sets, such as emissions statistics from the Environmental Protection Agency, will roll out in the coming months.
Google is one of a number of Internet properties, including Wikipedia and Amazon, that has been trying to make it easier to find government information on the Web."

Climate change and international water conflict in Central Asia
We engage in a critical assessment of the neo-malthusian claim that climatic changes can be an important source of international tensions, in the extreme even militarized interstate disputes. The most likely scenario is conflict over water allocation in international catchments shared by poorer, less democratic, and politically less stable countries, governed by weak international water management institutions, and exposed to severe climatic changes. The Syr Darya corresponds quite well to all these characteristics. If the neo-malthusian specter of conflict over water is empirically relevant, we should see signs of this in the Syr Darya. The riparian countries of the Aral Sea basin have experienced international disputes over water allocation ever since the USSR collapsed and, with it, existing water management institutions and funding. The worst such dispute concerns the Syr Darya, one of the two largest rivers in Central Asia. Based on hydrological data and other information we find that the only existing international water management institution in the Syr Darya has failed. Based on a coupled climate, land-ice and rainfall-runoff model for the Syr Darya, we then examine whether, in the absence of an effective international water allocation mechanism, climate change is likely to make existing international tensions over water allocation worse. We find that climate change-induced shifts in river runoff, to which the Uzbek part of the Syr Darya catchment is particularly vulnerable, and which could contribute to a deterioration of already strained Kyrgyz–Uzbek relations, are likely to set in only in the medium to long term. This leaves some time for the riparian countries to set up an effective international framework for water allocation and prevention of climate-induced geohazards. By implication, our findings suggest that a climate change-induced militarized interstate dispute over water resources in Central Asia is unlikely.

2002 Annual Conference
National Association of Abandoned Mine Land Programs
Park City, Utah
Sept. 16, 2002
Good morning, everyone.
What a pleasure it is to be here today. As many of you know, this is all familiar territory for me.
I grew up and lived in Carbon County for many years, and after spending the last year and several months "inside the beltway," it's good to be home.
Don't get me wrong. Washington is an interesting, dynamic, exciting town.
But it's no match for this part of the country.
Nothing compares with our Red Rocks (which I understand some of you had the occasion to visit this past weekend), our national forests, the dinosaur quarries, and ghost and mining towns.
My roots are here, and my loyalties are here. The coal fields of Utah and Colorado have sustained three generations of my family.
My father and my grandfather before me were coal miners, and I have been proud to continue that tradition.
When I accepted President Bush's appointment to head up the Mine Safety and Health Administration in May 2001, well, that was the culmination of 30 years of working in the coal industry.
I hope I've done my family, and my fellow Utahns, proud. And I hope to effectively continue to carry out the mission of the federal agency I represent - for however long I am honored to hold this position.
It's not been without its challenges and surprises.
Certainly one incident in particular that occurred in late July has consumed a great deal of MSHA's resources and energy.
I think you know which event I'm referring to, and I promise to address it shortly.
But first I'd like to extend my thanks to the National Association of Abandoned Mine Lands Program for holding this conference, and for inviting me to speak to you today.
I understand all too well the necessity of returning abandoned mine land back to its original state.
And I believe that the mining industry realizes the importance - and the benefits - of being a good corporate neighbor.
The potential environmental hazards that must be mitigated are numerous -
- acid mine drainage
- clogged creeks and streams
- dangerously sloped highwalls
- waste impoundments and embankments
- equipment such as old engines, mine cars, rails
- explosive gases
- improperly sealed portals
- subsidence
- underground mine fires
Time and again, state, federal and private reclamation projects have demonstrated that the land can be renewed and returned to its citizens in innovative ways.
The benefits gained from reclamation of abandoned mine lands include the protection of life, health and safety.
The environmental and social conditions improve.
And there's a better use of natural resources.
Within MSHA, we are particularly concerned about the public safety ramifications that exist once a mining operation shuts down.
And we've devoted a lot of time and energy over the past few years to combat the safety problems associated with old mines.
As we all know, recreationalists love abandoned mines.
And it's not easy to squelch their spirit. They seem to have an unquenchable thirst for adventure.
All too often, however, such adventures may lead these people down the wrong path.
Especially here in the West. Thousands of unmarked abandoned mines plague our countryside.
Seldom are they easy to spot.
Their openings may be hidden by vegetation growing wild. Rotting timbers provide inadequate protection from gaping openings.
Fences and "no trespassing" signs do little to deter some people.
Suburban sprawl and new housing developments that creep onto once-remote lands have increased the chances that people will accidentally encounter old mines.
Just last June, the body of a hiker was found in an abandoned mine shaft in the mountains southwest of Wickenburg, Arizona.
Apparently, the young man and four friends had been four-wheeling in a rugged area and then got off their ATV's to do some hiking.
Somehow, he got separated from the group, and it took rescuers a day to find his body.
You may have heard about this next incident - it also happened last June and received national media attention.
Two brothers, along with one friend, were hiking along a trail in the Cleveland National Forest when they spotted an old, flooded mine.
Thinking it had treasure, they decided to try to swim through it.
The brothers never made it - it's believed they died in the murky, gas-clogged water from lack of oxygen.
This happened about 70 miles southeast of Los Angeles.
I'm no stranger to these kinds of accidents.
I've had personal experience with two such incidents right here in Utah.
One had a happy ending. The other did not.
It was 1989, 10-year-old Joshua Dennis was on a hiking excursion through the Oquirrh Mountains with his Boy Scout troup.
He got lost in one of the old silver, lead and zinc mines in the area that he and fellow scout troup members were exploring.
For five days we searched for him. Amazingly, two of my colleagues found him about 2,000 feet underground.
He suffered only from mild frostbite and dehydration.
Jeremiah Etherington was not so fortunate. He was an 18-year-old spelunker who fell to his death in a Tooele County mine shaft in 1996.
It was a family member who finally recovered his body, even though we knew this individual was putting his own life in serious jeopardy.
And let's not forget the risk to the rescuers.
I lobbied for several years to get changes to the law, and was finally successful - offenses against trespassers were strengthened, and restitution was made for rescue efforts.
It's tragedies like these -- and there are dozens that occur each year -- that prompted MSHA to launch the "Stay Out-Stay Alive" public awareness campaign.
Many of you probably are already familiar with SOSA, and may even be active partners in this outreach effort.
To those who are currently active partners, I thank you.
For those of you who aren't, please listen up.
I hope by the end of my talk I will have convinced you to become part of the partnership.
In 1999, MSHA began a concerted effort to track and catalogue the deaths that occur each year on mine property among children and adult hikers, bikers, swimmers, rock hounds and other types of recreationalists.
The numbers are astounding. In fact, over the past 4 years, more than 100 fatalities have been the result of recreational activity on mine property.
These numbers are hard to ignore.
Thankfully, dozens of other organizations heeded MSHA's call.
Today, we've got quite a network of state and federal agencies, as well as private organizations, that have rallied together to educate and enlighten the public about the dangers of playing on mine property.
For our own part, MSHA designates two weeks every April to saturate schools around the country with materials about the hazards kids might encounter.
I visited several schools myself this year, including one in Macon, Georgia. I also met with a group of middle school kids who took part in a tour of the Edgar Exhibition Mine in Colorado.
Our compliance specialists, educational field specialists and other mine safety and health personnel have really embraced this program, and their enthusiasm has paid off.
We're getting lots of positive feedback from teachers thanking us for taking the time to address these issues with their students.
More and more, they are being invited back to talk to additional groups of students in the same school.
But, as I said before, we're not alone in our efforts.
Currently, there are about 80 organizations that participate in the "Stay Out-Stay Alive" campaign.
And the number is steadily growing.
I am especially excited about a cooperative agreement MSHA signed this year with one of our campaign partners, the National Energy Foundation.
The NEF, a nonprofit organization, is known for its innovative educational materials about our natural resources, the environment, energy and technology.
They are in the midst of developing a poster and primer that addresses the hazards of playing on mine property.
A number of SOSA partners have signed on to this project as well.
When the poster and accompanying materials are completed, they will be distributed to thousands of science teachers around the country.
This will be an excellent way for us to get our message into schools nationally, and I thank the NEF for helping to make this possible.
The educational system can be one of our strongest allies in this campaign, and I encourage all of you to strengthen your organization's relationship with your local schools, because the numbers of recreational deaths is not showing signs of subsiding.
Quarries pose a particular hazard - since July, we've documented 13 drownings in quarries around the country.
To put special emphasis on this problem, we developed two public service announcements this summer that have been made available to interested TV and radio stations nationwide.
I'd like to take a moment now to show you the 30-second and 60-second clips.
[ video shown ]
Anyone who would like a copy of this PSA, please call our office of information at (202) 693-9400.
This afternoon, one of the panel discussions will be dedicated primarily to this safety issue, and I hope many of you will participate.
It's a public safety problem that can occur in any community around the country, so we all are affected.
To those organizations that are active in community outreach, that are working hard to make old mine sites inaccessible to the public, thank you.
The dangers that abandoned mines pose aren't restricted to trespassers or the unsuspecting public.
That became quite clear in late July, when workers at an underground mine in Western Pennsylvania inadvertently cut into an adjacent abandoned mine site.
That breach caused massive flooding underground and nine miners' lived hung in the balance for three long days.
The successful rescue of nine coal miners working in the Quecreek Mine in Somerset County may have been one of the greatest mine rescue efforts in the history of mining.
It certainly was one of the most satisfying moments in my career.
The ordeal of those nine men truly captured the attention of the entire world.
No doubt most of you here in this room were glued to your TV sets during some point of the 3-day (and night) odyssey.
I don't think I will ever get tired of talking about it. I am incredibly proud of the efforts put forth by so many people:
- The MSHA team, of course
- Pennsylvania's Bureau of Deep Mine Safety
- The Enlow Fork mine rescue team from Pennsylvania
- The Navy Seals
- Local law enforcement
- Drilling companies
- The Salvation Army
- The Red Cross
From start to finish, dozens of mine safety professionals worked collectively to determine how to rescue the nine men quickly and safely.
From the beginning, MSHA's mobile command center served as a central point for federal, state and company personnel to meet, review information, and to make critical decisions.
MSHA's seismic monitoring system was set up to check for signs of life underground.
The first bore hole we drilled, a mere 6-inch hole, proved to be life-saving.
It provided precious oxygen to the miners.
It provided some warmth in the cold, damp environment.
The compressed air even exerted pressure against the rising water.
Meanwhile, a 30-inch drill began slowly and methodically boring through the rock in an effort to reach the trapped miners 240 feet below.
At the same time, pumps had been installed to remove the millions of gallons of water that had flooded the mine.
These pumps, along with drilling, hoisting and other equipment, arrived on the scene from companies in neighboring states.
The outpouring of help and offers by companies and individuals around the country was absolutely inspiring.
Another critical decision was determining how much water had to be removed before it would be safe to penetrate the mine workings with the drill.
The big question - what would happen if the rescue "bubble" protecting the miners was pierced?
If air pressure was all that was holding back the water, as soon as the rescue shaft went through, would air rush out and cause water to fill the protected space?
Drowning was a very real possibility.
MSHA's engineering staff calculated how much water needed to be pumped out before we could safely pierce through the rock, and how much pressure had to be exerted against the water in order to hold it back from the miners.
There were a couple of setbacks along the way. At one point, the 30-inch drill bit broke, and we were forced to go to a smaller one.
Meanwhile, a second bore hole was being drilled as a backup at an adjacent site.
Eventually the moment we had all waited for, and prayed for, arrived.
At 10:16 p.m., Saturday evening, more than three days after this drama began, the drill broke through.
At 10:53, we sent a microphone down the 6-inch hole to establish communications with the miners.
And at 11:10 p.m., a time that will be forever embedded in my memory, we got word that all nine miners were alive and okay.
What a moment that was.
I can honestly say that, while our optimism about the process may have wavered somewhat during those 77 hours, not once - never once - did we give up hope that these men were alive.
I believe it is that hope that sustained us throughout those three days, that allowed us to keep pushing forward, to never lose focus, to do whatever it took to return those men to their families.
And as our now-famous capsule was lowered and raised 18 times over the next 2 and a half hours, the mood escalated from relief to jubilation to downright euphoria.
We will learn some valuable lessons from the mishap that occurred in the old Saxman Mine.
It certainly points to the necessity of assuring the accuracy of old mine maps.
Immediately after the inundation occurred, I ordered MSHA to conduct a risk assessment of mines throughout the country to determine their potential for similar breakthroughs.
Our district offices are working with individual mine operators to ensure that necessary steps are taken to protect against these incidents.
We are also developing an agenda for a major technical symposium on setting a better understanding of the extent of old mine workings, which will lead to the prevention of inundations. We plan to announce the agenda and date for the conference soon.
These are no small tasks.
As you well know, there are thousands of abandoned mines across this country, and the locations of many of them are not precisely known.
But MSHA will do whatever is necessary to make sure that what happened at Quecreek doesn't happen at any other mine site.
For all of us here today, whether our focus is protecting our nation's mine workers, protecting the environment or protecting the citizens who come to rely upon our open lands for resources and recreation - our ultimate goal is the same.
I hope the next three days will be productive, informative and enlightening for all of you.
Thank you for your attention, and now, if there are any questions, I'd be happy to take them at this time.

'I'm Running on Adrenaline': 'Snow White' Star Chris Hemsworth on Being a New Dad (EXCLUSIVE VIDEO)
Unfortunately for Chris, the hunky Australian had very little time to settle into fatherhood, since he had to be in London Monday night for the world premiere of his new movie, Snow White and the Huntsman.
Still, Chris was in very high spirits when Celebuzz spoke to the 28-year-old daddy at the premiere.
"It's been a lot of fun," he said, of his two-day-plus stint as a dad. "I'm running on adrenaline. It's fantastic."
Meanwhile, Chris — who plays the huntsman out to find Snow White in the film, out June 1 — wasn't the only person handing out praise to Celebuzz while we were in London; his co-star, Kristen Stewart, had plenty of kind things to say about him in part one of our exclusive interview, including details about their unexpected sexual tension on screen.
Check out the video below, then be sure to check back on Wednesday for part two of our interviews with Kristen and her co-star, Charlize Theron!
