We had an AMAZING time! Detailed review from a family of 6!: Carnival Spirit Cruise Review by slowdell
Overall Member Rating
We had an AMAZING time! Detailed review from a family of 6!
Destination: South Pacific
Embarkation: Sydney (Australia)
We chose to go on a 9 night Carnival Spirit voyage and departed on the 12.3.2014. We occupied rooms 4208 and 4210 (these are not interconnecting rooms). I had 2 kids in my room and my Husband had 2 kids in his.
We were booked in to be one of the first groups to board. Because it's us and we are late for everything, we got there an hour later than planned. Embarkation was smooth and efficient. My Husband had his power board taken off him by Customs as it was in his carry on luggage (this was returned to him a day or so later as it's a Port of Sydney rule that you can't have them on board, it's not a Boat rule). We also had the 1 that was in the checked luggage taken but this was also returned.
We had balcony Cabins. They More were quite spacious taking into consideration you are on a boat. They were very clean. They were filled with light and the furnishings were pleasant. The bathroom was clean and had plenty of places to put things. The beds and pillows were comfortable and there was plenty of storage. I did not unpack my Children's suitcases though. I found it easier to live out of them.
We did request that the door on the balcony between our rooms be opened so that we had a longer balcony and that we could access each other's room from the outside rather than having to go through the Corridor. Once this door is opened, it must stay open for the duration of the cruise. This suited us as we had some stuff in one room and the rest in another. If we weren't in the rooms and the Kids needed something, it was good to know they could access both rooms even though they didn't have a swipe card as we left the balcony doors unlocked.
My Husband has said that if you're worried about being in a tiny room because that's where you're going to spend your time, don't go on a cruise! We were really only in our room when we were sleeping, having some down time or showering!
The Cabins were very quiet. I wasn't able to hear what the people in the next room or corridors were doing.
My room Steward was Novi and my Husbands was Jefferson. Both came to greet us and introduce themselves when we went to see if our luggage had arrived.
They were always very friendly and took time to interact with our Children. Nothing was too much to ask. They always remembered our names. They did an amazing job throughout the cruise.
Our Children left some 'interesting' messes for them (for example, one of them spilt hot chocolate on their doona) and this was fixed up right away. They attended the cabins twice a day - once in the morning and once of an evening. The kids LOVED the towel animals!
One thing that we noticed from the moment we got on the Ship to the moment we left was that the Staff were always pleasant and FANTASTIC with the Children. Our Daughter made friends with one of the Staff in the Buffet and this lady would often help our Daughter carry her plate to the table or help get her a drink. Our twins are chatterboxes and it was good to see the Staff were not once deterred by this but responded to their conversations. They were always ready to dibs out the hi fives!
We didn't eat in the main dining room or the specialty restaurant. We found the Buffet to be easier to manage with the kids. It was never hard to find a table for all of us to sit at as Staff are very quick to clear the tables as soon as someone has finished eating.
There were always clean plates, knives, forks and cups available.
There were no main dishes in the Buffet that were repeated. There was always plenty of variety and the food was always fresh and hot. There was always plenty of fresh fruit and salad.
We did eat at Fat Jimmy's and this was nice. We also ate at the grill on the Lido deck near the pool and the cheeseburgers were fantastic. The kids loved the ice cream and frozen yogurt.
There were several drink dispensing machines around the place so you could always get a coffee (including decaf), lemon squash, ice, water, ice tea or a hot chocolate without waiting for too long. At breakfast time they had apple juice, orange juice and a guava tropical juice available.
We did eat the deli sandwiches that were recommended. They were delicious! And late night pizza became a ritual!
At the time of the cruise, our Twins were 5 and were due to turn 6 a few days after the cruise had ended. We asked if they could be moved up into the older group of 'Camp Carnival' as the activities seemed a lot more suitable for their age and given the fact they have older brothers, they are used to the likes of Xbox and Wii.
The Twins had an amazing time. We didn't put them into 'Camp Carnival' a lot but when they were there, they had an absolute ball. On the theme nights when we would pick them up, they had their face painted and freebies in hand. The kids club is free unless you want them to stay after 10pm (10pm - 3am is their 'Night owls' service and from memory was $8 each per hour). The Twins only stayed for the 'Night Owls' program once (until Midnight one evening) and came out carrying a bag full of things such as torches, a soft 'night owl' toy and a laser light pen.
The staff at 'Camp Carnival' were fantastic! They have a genuine concern for the Children and you could tell they really enjoyed their jobs.
Our older Children also enjoyed their program (Circle C and O2). As they are old enough to sign themselves in and out, they didn't spend a lot of time with the group as they'd prefer to wander with their friends but there was always something for them to do.
Be aware that if your Child is 12 or over, there is no sign out for the club. They are free to come and go as they please.
We attended several different shows - a magic show, a comedy show, an illusionist show, a hypnotist and a few broadway type shows.
The shows are quite popular and can get rather crowded quite quickly so get there early so you get good seats! The band for the broadway shows were fantastic and the performers (including the dancers) are very talented. We saw one comedian and he was very funny.
The Piano man was brilliant. He is in a marvelous setting. It's very intimate.
There's a duo who play at night in the Atrium (we can't remember their name but it was soul something). They were wonderful.
There is so much to do on board! Each night, you get given a list of the activities that are going to happen the next day.
We enjoyed the likes of Karaoke, 'build a bear' (for the younger ones and the young at heart), mini golf, basketball, table tennis and water slides.
There are several deck parties that take place on board. We didn't attend these but our eldest Son did and he had a fantastic time.
They had ice sculpting displays, bean bag toss, trivia, bingo, towel animal folding classes, limbo, hairy chest competitions and a cocktail making completion. With each competitive activity, there was a prize to be won and my Husband became quite obsessed with winning one (which he didn't!).
They had movies playing on the big screen at the front of the boat. We didn't go and watch any but they seemed quite popular.
There are 3 swimming pools on board. 2 on the Lido deck and 1 in Serenity (the Adults only part of the ship). There are also Whirlpools (Spas). The Whirlpools on Lido deck was ALWAYS PACKED with Children. I don't think many adults were brave enough to enter them to compete with the tiny people that seemed to overtake them. This may be due to the fact that the pools were quite deep. The pools were also quite crowded. They weren't too busy though. They aren't very big (you can't do laps in it or anything like that) but my Children enjoyed them either way.
We did visit Serenity once for about 20 minutes. I sat in one of the pods (which was rather comfortable). As we chose to have the Twins with us most of the time, we didn't spend much time there but it was very popular.
There are other things that we didn't participate in like the Casino, the games room, an LGBT gathering that met up quite frequently, an AA group and art auctions.
We didn't watch a lot of TV but I noticed they had a different movie on each day for the kids and for the Adults.
They also had 2 elegant nights. We didn't have the proper attire for these but everyone looked lovely! People really got dressed up! Get into the spirit of it and join in.
The shops on the ship had a lot of stuff available at reasonable prices. They had a fantastic watch sale and some jewelry specials that we took advantage of. I actually got 90% of the gifts for our family and friends from the shops on the boat. They had a lot of Alcohol available at duty free prices. Given the fact neither of us are big drinkers, we didn't know if the prices were good or not but I imagine they were considering the amount of people who bought alcohol.
We were pleased to see that they have birthday cakes on board as it was my Husband's Birthday on the second last day. The cake was about $14 and there was heaps left over after the 6 of us had eaten it.
Isle of pines was beautiful. The sand was white and the water was so clear. This was my favorite stop. The snorkeling was fantastic. The kids were excited to see coconut trees and coconuts over the ground. There were a few stalls set up for shopping. Make sure you cross check your prices as some people were unhappy that they paid $10 more for a necklace at one at one stall than what it was priced for at another. I got my Daughter's hair braided here. I'm glad I did as it stopped me having to worry about washing it! It was $15 but worth every cent. Make sure you bring some hair ties or some loom bands with you as the little rubber bands they use broke very quickly. I was able to replace hers as soon as we got back on board. She had her braids in for about 2 weeks.
Lifou was our next stop. It was a bit choppy on this day but the weather was pleasant. My Husband and eldest Son were in charge of the shopping on this Island. There were several food stalls and a tribal dance music display. It was wonderful being able to look at the ship from the beach. It's so big!
Mare was the next stop. There were about 2 or 3 little gazebo stalls when you got off the a Tender but when you get to the beach, there are several little stalls. You could also buy Noumea Beer! The snorkeling was amazing at Mare and the beach was superb.
Noumea was our last stop. It was very humid. It was a City (not an Island as such). It looked 'Ghettoesq'. It was quite slummish. If you go there, make sure you get a shore excursion to Duck Island or something like that so that you can see the prettier parts.
Drinks weren't badly priced. It's more economical to buy cocktails. Get the bubbles package ($7 a day unlimited soft drink). My Husband was surprised that they used actual cans of drinks rather than the post mix stuff. The frozen alcoholic drinks ware very yummy!
If you have Children and you don't want them spending money on their card, you can put a limit on it. Do this the moment you board! We ended up with a $120 charge to our account from one of our Children which was racked up from milkshakes and arcade games within the first few hours we were there. You can put a total cruise limit or a no charge request on it. This can be done at one of the kiosks so you don't have to line up.
Internet wasn't too badly priced. I purchased the 120 minute package to send Emails and check our bank balance! I did go through all of my minutes but you can purchase the internet at a minute by minute arrangement if you choose or there are several packages to pick from as well.
Photos! Get as many as you can done! They don't cost anything unless you wish to purchase them but they do put them on display so you can look at them. If you don't like them you simply throw them in one of the bins provided (at no cost to you). They have so many different backgrounds that the set up on the ship and that also take photos when you are at each port. Our favorite photographer was the man who says 'yoo hoo' (this will make sense when you are on board!). We purchased some lovely photos. The big photos (A4 size) were $29 each and the smaller ones were $14 each. We dressed our kids up one night and got a great picture of them together.
Get them to do your washing! We were going to do our own but as a treat, I got them to do it. I think it was $12 a bag or 5 bags for $50. The bags are quite big and you can fit a LOT of stuff in there. It was wonderful to have clean, folded washing returned to our room. Sigh. Luxury!
Get your Passport stamped! Make sure you bring them off the boat with you so you can get them stamped. Considering they don't stamp them in Australia now, it's fantastic to have as a memory. It does cost $2 or so to get them stamped but is a good Souvenir to have.
As mentioned above, you can get your door opened on your balcony. Mention this to your Stateroom Steward as soon as you get on the boat if your family are next door to you! I didn't read about this being available until around day 3 or 4 but would have loved to have had it opened the day after we boarded (they do it the following day after you request it be opened).
- roll of garbage bags. These came in handy when storing dirty washing, snorkels and goggles and rubbish that was too big for the bin located in the bedroom.
- ocky straps (the stretchy straps that you use to hold tarps down with). These will be fantastic for keeping your balcony door open. We forgot ours and had to use a chair!
- a highlighter so you can highlight the activities you wish to do. And pens!
- snorkeling equipment as this is rather expensive on board (to hire or buy).
- powerboards! As mentioned above, it does get taken off you but you will get it back. There is only one power point in the bedroom.
- air freshener.
- zip lock bags. These come in handy to put your phone, Wallet, passport etc... in when you get off the Boat to go on the shore.
- reef shoes for everyone! These are available for purchase on the
boat but you're better to get them before you board. I thought I'd get away with wearing thongs but I would've ended up with cuts all over my feet due to the coral.
- a beach bag or back pack to take with you on shore.
- a waterproof camera. These aren't all that expensive and you'll be glad that you did bring one when you see the photos you come home with.
- someone said business cards with your name on it to give to any new friends you make aboard but a own and paper will suffice!
- medicines! And a first aid kit. They didn't have a huge range of medicines on board so bring your Panadol, gastro stop, gastro lite etc... even if you don't use them (like we didn't), you'll have them with you just in case.
- Suncream and zinc cream (this goes without saying!)
- prepaid SIM with roaming access. We did this because it ended up being cheaper than having roaming on our post paid phone. We gave people the number so that they could text us in the event of an emergency. Not something we really used but is a good idea just in case it's needed.
- Stuff to keep the kids entertained if you have a rest time like we did each day We spent about an hour in our cabin doing some coloring in or playing iPad so that they could chill for a while.
- Walkie Talkies - we did buy some of these with the intention of using them but we didn't use them once. We didn't use them because we stuck together most of the time. If we were split up or we were part of a big group, would have been used.
- not a huge one but a postage tube or a document wallet to keep all of your programs and brochures in so they don't get damaged.
If you're a worried Mummy like me, the railings are very difficult for the little kiddies to climb over! I was so concerned about this prior to getting on board but once I was there and my Twins heads didn't even reach the top of the railings, I was relived. Just make sure that they don't stand on the chair or the foot stool out on the balcony and you won't have a worry!
The only other thing that I was a bit worried about was does the boat cater for bigger builds as my Husband and I aren't the smallest people in the world! Yes! They do! The deck chairs, the dining chairs and the chair on the balcony were all very comfortable.
Above all, don't have any expectations. If you go with an open mind and a positive attitude, you'll have a great time. If you go with a negative attitude, you'll have a bad time! These reviews are great to read to see what people have experienced and what they suggest but reading some of them before I boarded made me a bit worried! We had a magnificent time and can't wait to go again next year. Less

Who's going to the NY Auto show? BMW rolling out the M6 Converitble & US Spec X1
The BMW M6 Convertible and BMW X1 Sport Activity Vehicle will make their World Debuts at the 2012 New York International Auto Show on Wednesday, April 4th at the BMW Stand from 10:15 a.m. 10:40 a.m. at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center (655 West 34th Street at 11th Avenue) in Manhattan. The BMW M6 Convertible and BMW X1 and will be joined by the BMW M6 Coupe, BMW X6 M (North American debuts) and the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe (U.S. auto show debut) as the featured BMW vehicles in New York. The BMW i3 and i8 Concepts will also be featured providing a glimpse into the future of mobility.
The iconic BMW M6 Convertible and Coupe return from a two year hiatus more powerful, more athletic, more focused, more luxurious and more efficient than ever before. Since the M6 badge was first placed on a BMW back in 1987, this model has exemplified the luxury and daily usability of a top range BMW coupe combined with true super-car performance. Now, in its 3rd generation, the all-new BMW M6 sports a new 560hp M TwinPower Turbo V-8 mated to a 7-speed M-DCT transmission capable of propelling either model from 0 to 60mph in under 4.3 seconds.
The hotly anticipated BMW X1 Sport Activity Vehicle comes to the U.S. for the first time. Its rising horizontal lines give it a sporty, elegant profile, while the classic BMW kidney grille, distinctive headlights and L-shaped taillights are unmistakably BMW. The BMW X1 is also the latest BMW vehicle to offer the TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder engine which delivers BMW performance with reduced fuel consumption. The updated BMW X1 will be available in U.S. showrooms in summer 2012.
The recently updated BMW X6 M Sports Activity Coupe combines the athletic and elegant lines of a coupe with the character of a BMW X model and an outstanding driving experience. The new X6 M receives several design updates and innovative features intended to emphasize its width and track and road-holding prowess.
Introducing the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe a new 4-door, 4+1 seat addition to the 6 Series line that successfully combines the stunning proportions, design and driving dynamics of the 6 Series Coupe with interior room and amenities for up to five passengers. Harmonious proportions, precise lines and sleekly contoured surfaces give the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe the unique ability to satisfy the driver who wants a luxurious and sporty coupe yet needs a car capable of carrying four adults in comfort and luxury. The BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe will be offered as three distinct models in the USA. The TwinPower Turbo 6-cylinder powered BMW 640i Gran Coupe is the initial model and arrives early this summer. Later this summer, the TwinPower Turbo V-8 powered 650i Gran Coupe and the all-wheel drive 650i xDrive Gran Coupe will join the range.

driftwood's recommendation
so fabulously 80s
Ehlouie's recommendation
These glasses are so retro and stylish! plus they come in a variety of colors!
JMichelle's recommendation
Finally a pair of knock off raybans that are cute (at least the clear ones are)
lashaunda's recommendation
A pair of yellow sunglasses is a pretty safe investment if you are expanding your wardrobe and going Gabe-style. Any bright, neon color will do but yellow really makes a statement... and it goes best with purple!

mandarinette's recommendation
I love it. Simply but awesome, many colors and for boy and girl! (and very cheap) I couldn't buy them because I'm from out USA, but now I have a friend there and I'm waiting for his arrival to wear this cute sunglasses with my boyfriend.
My Collections:
samnarisa1's recommendation
what can i say? these are tempting, either to add a cute fashionable geek look or just to block out the sun. i think a plain black pair of risky business glasses would be perfect for that.
My Collections:
I say, more Weezer than Risky Business. Cool, nonetheless!

The Daily Dose: Sampling the Financial Buffet
What do market folk not obsessed with sub $5.00 stocks and scalping $0.05 on a long, such as yours truly, do in between earnings seasons? That's a good question.
You could ponder deeply some investor education tips, for example, like these on retail stocks. You could hold team meetings to unearth new ideas and keep everyone hungry off another hectic earnings season performance. You could boost the minutes spent out of the office and on the pavement talking with companies (as I did with J.C. Penney (JCP) on Monday, and, no, I can't share any of the information, sorry) and contacts and then grab a cocktail with like-minded individuals in financial services....557 more words left in this article.

The features list of m0n0wall suggest that the wireless can be used as an access point...
wireless support (access point with PRISM-II/2.5/3 cards, BSS/IBSS with other cards including Cisco)
i have a PRISM 2.5 card installed, and then assign this interface to the LAN side, i have allocated
it an IP address, but how do i connect to m0n0wall, and set this card to work as an access point,
setup wep key, ssid etc etc...i cant even connect to the monowall, as i dont know how to initiate a
wireless connection. (running a scan from my laptop does not show any wireless networks available)
The hardware is all tested as i have configured it on the WAN interface no problem.

Not long afterward came the world-shaking news of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Then, blackness again—and, like the closing click of this world-wide camera, there followed a world-shaking crash of thunder.
The world-shaking conceptions have always been won in profound experience.
All it needs is the electric spark to cause the world-shaking explosion.
A soil which even to Noah was the destined theatre of world-shaking war!
Shiva, maddened with grief, gathered up the bones of his unfortunate consort and danced about with them in a world-shaking frenzy.
Verily it was only a day of small things, of very humble ambitions, of far from world-shaking successes!
My Midshipmite, being a hardy veteran in world-shaking naval battles, permitted himself to smile.
When Jack cures his toothache with a box of soldiers, who knows what world-shaking evolutions are afoot?
And this is the way a large number of world-shaking passions begin, since at first we seldom apprehend our potentiality.

Business credit inquiries grew in the March quarter, but the mining states are dominating demand and there's been a big jump among small businesses in areas that appear to indicate companies in trouble, according to a credit check agency.
Overall, business credit inquiries across loans, trade credit and asset finance rose 8.8 per cent in the March quarter compared with the same time last year.
The total number of inquiries dropped 4 per cent across all categories compared with the end of last year, however, even though growth was higher, according to the Veda Commercial Credit Demand Index. But the March quarter traditionally records lower credit demand due to the holiday periods it covers.
For the small business sector, the majority of the growth in credit demand was in areas related to cash flow, with credit card inquires up 32.5 per cent and overdrafts up 76.8 per cent. Lending proposals rose 14.3 per cent and business mortgage applications 9.7 per cent.
"For companies [with] between five and 50 employees, albeit the size [of that part of credit demand] is not great, the growth is phenomenal," says Moses Samaha, Veda's head of head of commercial risk.
Veda's index indicates inquiries rather than approved credit. The Reserve Bank's monthly figures released on Monday indicate approved business credit grew by 0.6 in March, slightly up on 0.4 per cent in February.
Business credit grew just 1.3 per cent over the year to March, compared with 5.3 per cent for housing credit. But over February and March it has been catching up with housing credit growth.
In a note, JPMorgan economist Tom Kennedy says the firm expects credit growth to remain subdued for the rest of 2012, but business credit had expanded at an annualised rate of 3.4 per cent over the past three months.
Most of the rise in inquiries for credit ,according to Veda, came from the Northern Territory, growing 18.6 per cent; Western Australia, up 11.6 per cent; and Queensland, rising 10.2 per cent, compared with 7.5 per cent for NSW, 9.1 per cent for Victoria, 6.7 per cent for South Australia, 2.1 per cent for Tasmania and 5.6 per cent for the ACT.
Inquiries for business loans overall were up 16.2 per cent, driven by big jumps in 26.6 per cent for NT, 17.6 per cent for WA and 21 per cent for Queensland, with Victoria and NSW still showing 14.5 per cent and 16 per cent growth respectively.
Applications for trade finance rose by 68.5 per cent, but asset finance application growth remained flat, with growth in the mining states, but contraction in Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and NSW.
Samaha says a cut in the cash rate from the RBA on Tuesday could see a spike in applications for business loans as this occurred the last time there were cuts in October and November. "We definitely saw a jump last year across all categories".
Applications for asset finance have largely been depressed since the splurge following the stimulus packages that the Rudd government released during the global financial crisis.
"The coming quarter typically sees a pick-up in [asset finance] due to the financial year end," he said. "I would expect a pick up very soon. By the June quarter it is 2½ years since [the stimulus packages] by then and the activity should pick up."

Some commercial properties change names and tenants so fast that it's hard to keep up. What is a clothing store one day might be a vacuum cleaner repair shop the next.
But for many longtime Tucsonans, the building on the northeast corner of East Fifth Street and North Craycroft Road will always be known as Star Drug.
It's now the home of a civil and structural engineering firm. But for more than 40 years, the 10,000-square-foot building was part of a local chain of drugstores that popped up throughout Tucson between 1953 and 1986.
Of those stores, however, Star Drug might have been the most well-known because of its trademark star perched on a pole on the roof next to its drive-through window.
"That was probably Bob Jensen's idea," retired pharmacist Marty Ronstadt said about one of the co-owners of Defender Drug Stores, of which Star Drug was a part. "He was a very innovative guy."
The star is still there, as is the drive-through bay and a marquee sign on the corner that marks the location of the long-gone Burcham Plaza, which that shopping center was once called.
"We like having that star up there," said Marcia Grenier, co-owner of Grenier Engineering, which has occupied the building since 2007. "It's like a landmark. We've had offers from people wanting to buy it, but we've said, 'No thanks.' "
Jensen, according to his obituary that ran in the Arizona Daily Star in 2002, and partner Lyle Crandall at one time owned nine stores in the Defender chain. The two men eventually sold the stores in 1987 to SupeRX Drug Co., which eventually passed the stores on to other owners.
Star Drug's location was last a pharmacy in the early 2000s, when it was an Osco, according to city business records. That drugstore eventually moved a few miles west to Fifth Street and Alvernon Way, where it is now a CVS.
Grenier said the building housed a thrift store before she and her husband bought it in November 2006.
Despite the changes, she said, some people still stop by looking for the medical equipment that Star Drug was known for. "I remember one guy," Grenier said, "came in looking for a wheelchair."

Regional legal affairs bureaus dealt with a record number of cases last year in which the Internet was used to violate people's rights, the Justice Ministry said Friday.
Violations of individuals' rights using the Internet jumped 42.6 percent from the previous year to 957 cases, the highest count since officials started compiling comparable data in 2001.
According to the ministry, privacy violations such as posting a person's contact details or photographs without permission made up 600 of the cases, while there were 342 cases of defamatory posts on online bulletin boards.
The bureaus requested that Internet service providers delete such content.
The regional offices also dealt with record numbers of corporal punishment and school bullying complaints in 2013. They responded to 887 cases of corporal punishment by teachers, 2.4 times the 2012 figure, while bullying cases rose 1.1 percent to 4,034.
The rise in corporal punishment cases is attributed to heightened awareness of the issue in the wake of the 2012 suicide of a 17-year-old high school student in Osaka following physical punishment by his basketball coach, a ministry official said.
Overall, the bureaus took action on 22,437 cases in 2013, down 493 from the previous year, cautioning offenders and mediating between parties, the ministry said.
Ministry officials said improved public recognition of the bureaus as consultation desks may be behind the surge in the number of Internet-linked human rights abuse cases.

Units of Study
ECOS3011 - Public Finance
Semester 2, 2013 | Credit Points: 6
Coordinator: Stephen Patrick Whelan
Public Finance is about the taxing and spending decisions of governments. The unit covers a wide range of public finance topics. After an introduction to welfare economics and the role of government in the economy, the unit focuses on the revenue side of the budget: tax incidence, efficient and equitable taxation, the Australian system of revenue raising, issues of tax reform and the theory and practice of public utility pricing. It then focuses on the expenditure side of the government budget: public goods, externalities, and programs aimed at redistribution. It also introduces techniques of policy evaluation.

Pastoral Risk Management Strategy
Although mainly backstopped by SDAR there is a key haymaking component that is backstopped by the Grassland Group of AGPC.
Mongolian herding has been successful for thousands of years, but it has always involved weather-related risks. The most obvious risks come from periodic snow disasters (zud), which cause heavy animal and human mortality. However, in recent years, due to the combination of a severe, continental climate, extremely large distances and a nomadic system which has expanded dramatically since the break-up of the state farms and livestock collectives, and deteriorating services to the livestock sector, Mongolias pastoral system is subject to significantly increasing high levels of variability and risk from environmental, economic and social causes.
Snow storms killed an estimated 100 000 animals in May 1993, and in June 1995 heavy rain killed 60 000 recently-shorn sheep in a single night, impoverishing large numbers of herding households. The winter of 1999/2000 was the worst in thirty years and has reportedly killed two million livestock and many more are likely to be lost before the summer rains. The livelihood and food security of up to one- quarter of Mongolias population who depend entirely on animal rearing are seriously threatened.
[during the winter of 2000/20001 snow storms were even more devastating]
In addition to their direct impact, snow and other disasters undermine rural development strategies, and are a major cause of rural and urban poverty. Rural development will have to start afresh every few years if preparedness and management of such disasters are not improved. When household herds fall to below the minimum viable level, as a result of one or other type of risk, the household has to rely on support from relatives and neighbours. Where this is not available, for example because others are also poor, or because they all have lost animals in the same risk episode, households rarely have any other option but to move to bag (sub-district) and sum (district) centres where they remain destitute. Likewise poverty alleviation can only deal with symptoms until key risks are brought under control.
Risk management strategies, which were operational in Mongolia before its transition to market economy, have completely collapsed under the changed conditions of free market economy. During the collective period, roughly 1950-1990, the state organized herding management and made provision for those affected by bad weather and other misfortunes. With the disbanding of the collectives the associated welfare provisions were also removed. Traditional collaboration and risk-avoidance techniques had been severely weakened during that forty-year period. Since the start of economic liberalisation in 1990, market, social and some environmental risks to herders have substantially increased due to reduced support from central government to the countryside, and an explicit shifting of many risks from the public sector to herders.
However, there is no pastoral risk management policy and strategy enacted by the government since its transition to market economy. Herders risks are currently only addressed incidentally and partially. Key activities, such as the Ministry of Agriculture and Industrys programmes on development of emergency grazing areas and fodder supplies, the Ministry of Nature and Environments national weather forecasting system and the national Poverty Alleviation Programme (NPAP), are barely co-ordinated. The NPAP itself scarcely deals with poverty or risk management among herders. Co-ordinated risk management plans at national, provincial or district level between participants are inexistent. The development of the pastoral economy is regularly threatened by periodic major setbacks caused by natural and other disasters, and investments made by herders, the government and donors risk being lost; at each event, some rural households will be precipitated into greater poverty.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Industry recognises that dealing with risk is the main problem in the Mongolian pastoral economy, and that failure to deal with risk could jeopardise all progress in rural development and poverty alleviation. Risk also jeopardises major investments by government and donors. For example, IFAD and the Mongolian Government are investing US$5 million in Arkhangay and Khuvsgul provinces, principally by restocking poor herders; other donors have similar restocking programmes in other provinces. A single major snow disaster could not only threaten the success of these initiatives, but could wipe out the investments already made. These two provinces were partly spared in the 1999/2000 zud, although some provinces restocked by the Save the Children Fund (SCF) were severely hit. The occurrence of the 1999/2000 snow disaster and the limited ability of Mongolian authorities to prevent or mitigate the damage caused by the disaster underscores the outstanding importance of improved risk management strategies and plans in Mongolia as a means to secure herder livelihoods and food security. As a result, the Ministry gives the highest priority to the development of a co-ordinated national pastoral risk management strategy, linked to national poverty alleviation efforts.
As a pre-requisite for a national strategy, consolidated risk management plans at lower institutional levels are urgently needed, building on pre-tested new strategies for improved risk preparedness, mitigation and recovery after calamities. Strategies must be adapted to and operational under the changed socio-political and economic conditions in Mongolia after transition to market economy (A good example for the required type of technology adaptation and testing is, for instance, haymaking, a collective activity dealt with by special brigades, often highly mechanised, but which dropped off sharply after state subsidies ceased in 1990. In suitable areas, however, there is now interest in developing simple, herder-based haymaking, probably using draught animals, to provide some winter feed for weak and pregnant stock) .
The GOM therefore requested FAO assistance through the TCP programme in preparing risk management plans for selected pilot provinces, and pilot testing key components of the plans at field level, as a model of what can be done in the country as a whole. Through its focus on long-term strategic planning for improved disaster preparedness and management among pastoral herds, the project will build on and complement the emergency support initiated by FAO and other donors as a response to the 1999/2000 snow disaster and relief request of Mongolia. The TCP project results will also be of great value for the IFAD-funded Poverty Alleviation Programme in Arkhangay and Khuvsgul and the World Bank-funded "Sustainable livelihood project" which is expected to become operational in 2001. Both programmes have expressed a strong need for and interest in building on a pastoral risk management strategy, but emphasised, however, that they do not have the mandate to elaborate a risk management strategy themselves. The TCP project results will also be of use to the ADB Agricultural Sector Programme, which is concerned with rural risk.
The government is committed to pastoral risk management as a key element of national rural development policy, and wishes as a matter of priority to prepare and implement - based on the outputs of the TCP project which aims at provincial pilot risk management plans - an overall national pastoral risk management plan. The implementation of provincial and national risk management strategies and plans will significantly help to reduce the risk of future losses from environmental hazards, which are part of the natural conditions in Mongolia and which can be expected to occur regularly.
To improve and sustain the livelihood and food security of pastoral herders in three provinces (chosen to reflect different levels of risk, different ecological conditions and different experience of restocking shemes) and increase national, provincial and local institutional capacities and planning procedures for co-ordinated risk and disaster management in pastoral areas through:
The project envisages the following main outputs
1.1 Consolidated pastoral risk management plans for the three pilot provinces prepared and agreed upon with provincial and district government authorities in November 2001. The plans will give particular emphasis on strategies supportive to:
a) reducing negative impact of environmental calamities on herds, flocks and families;
b) operating a quick and effective response when a calamity or shock strikes the country;
c) re-habilitating livelihoods to normal levels after a calamity or shock.
1.2 National project counterpart staff and herders representatives trained in developing, co-ordinating and implementing management plans.
2.1 Selected key strategies for risk management pilot-tested by selected herding communities. Strategies will include:
2.2 Selected herders trained in the application of new, pilot-tested risk management strategies.
2.3 Improved collaboration mechanisms established between herders, herders groups and local governments regarding risk management related tasks.
2.4 Guidelines for broader use of pilot-tested strategies elaborated by January 2001.
2.5 A study on options for improved access and modalities of insurance and savings services to herders conducted, reviewed and results integrated into risk management plans as appropriate.
Project implementation was delayed from 2000 to 2001 and the first missions were undertaken in the period May - September 2001. A number of local contracts were initiated and reports submitted including those on the status of haymaking and storage and haymaking potentials in target sums of Uvs and Tuv aimags. Further missions were undertaken in the summer season of 2002, another mission took place in December 2002 and the project was extended into the first quarter of 2003.
5. MAIN OUTPUTS AND RESULTS (of the Haymaking Component)
In the considerable gap between the finalisation of the project document and its becoming operational the Government adopted important decisions on a strategy for dealing with drought and zud (Resolutions of the Government of Mongolia # 47 and 48 of 13 March 2001); project activities were redesigned to fit in with and provide inputs to the "National Programme on assisting the protection of livestock from drought and zud (a term covering various types of weather-related disaster - associated with winter precipitation, usually too much or too little snow and/or very low temperatures)" of March 2001. The project area was redefined to take in areas in the west and central zones.
It very soon became clear that the main key to winter survival of livestock is having them in as good condition as possible, adequately fat, by the onset of winter. Herd survival and herders' risk avoidance is not a seasonal activity, it depends on proper grazing management throughout the year. Grazing management principles are well known in Mongolia but, since the early nineteen-nineties, have been largely ignored. Preparation of stock for winter is not only an autumnal activity, it depends on proper herd and grazing management throughout the year. Proper seasonal use (and protection) of pastures is the key to good grazing management.
A system of estimating overwinter carrying capacity, suitable for use by local staff working with experienced herders, which takes into account livestock condition and general herders' preparedness was developed in conjunction with the High Mountain Research Centre, tested in the pilot aimags and thereafter demonstrated in the pilot sums. Even when good grazing management is practiced, however, herders have still no protection from trespass which is probably their most serious year-long problem.
Grazing reserves are potentially important for risk avoidance in severe winters but many traditional areas have been neglected in recent years. A survey by the Research Institute for Animal Husbandry, under the auspices of the project, found that there are vast tracts undergrazed or not used, especially in outlying areas. In many cases there is now a lack of infrastructure, especially water supplies; such areas can be developed for winter emergency and probably routine use.
The varied conditions of the pilot aimags showed that herder haymaking is very much limited by the availability and location of suitable land. In forest-steppe conditions, where much of the earlier FAO work with herders was carried out, several factors combine to make it suitable: there are many meadows in the mountain landscape; winter and summer camps are usually no more than a few kilometres apart so herders do not have to travel long distances to make hay nor does it have to be carried far for use; animal traction is traditional since herders use ox-carts. Haymaking with horse-drawn equipment is spreading in this zone. In Uvs, however, there is little or no rainfed hay land, winter camps are far from potential haymaking areas and animal traction is unknown (baggage being moved by pack-train). There is some excellent irrigated hay land and swamp hay can be made near the lake, but cannot be mechanised; much is made by settled people from sum headquarters. In Zamaar nearly all the hay land is harvested by commercial companies for sale elsewhere. Many of the drier parts of Mongolia have little or no haymaking potential so the initial enthusiasm for hay as an emergency reserve is slackening. Suitable horse-drawn equipment is no longer widely available but sources have been identified in China.
Hay is not a very suitable commodity for constituting an emergency fodder fund since it is generally of low feeding value, has a short storage life and is bulky to store and expensive to transport per feed unit. While hay will be used at herder and bag level, and perhaps at sum level, cereals and concentrates are probably more suitable for aimag reserves. The weakness of hay as a reserve feed in drought years was well demonstrated in 2002 - haymaking was impossible in many places and even in the commercial zones of the North harvest stopped very early for lack of herbage.

COLUMBUS (AP) -- Riding a bicycle on Ohio roads seems to be getting safer, according to state statistics.
The Ohio Department of Public Safety statistics show that fewer bicyclists were injured or killed while riding in the state last year compared with the previous year.
The agency said more than 1,500 bicyclists were injured statewide last year, down from about 1,900 in 2012. Last year, 19 riders were killed in crashes in Ohio, compared with 18 in 2012.
Bike advocates told The Columbus Dispatch they're gaining strength in numbers. With more bicycles on the road, motorists may become more comfortable riding alongside them.
But bicyclists still want more protections -- including a state rule requiring cars to give bicyclists a 3-foot cushion when they pass, and stiffer penalties for hit-skip drivers.
The League of American Bicyclists is asking the federal government to require states to set goals for reducing bicycle crashes. And groups say they are doing more to promote safety among their ranks.
When crashes do occur, they're getting more attention, said Steve Magas, a Cincinnati lawyer who represents bicyclists injured in traffic accidents.

I hope everyone had a good weekend and a happy Mother's Day. Here are the most interesting stories Monday the AFC East:
Miami Dolphins second-year quarterback Ryan Tannehill gushes about new wide receiver Mike Wallace.
Morning take: This looks like a very good pair in the making. Tannehill has many of the tools it takes to be a franchise quarterback, and Wallace has the elite speed Miami is looking for.
Buffalo Bills rookie free-agent receiver Da'Rick Rogers will only get one shot, according to head coach Doug Marrone.
Morning take: Rogers' off-the-field issues are well-documented. But Buffalo is in need of talent, and Rogers could bring that to the receiving corps. The key, as Marrone mentioned, will be for Rogers to stay out of trouble.
This is a scouting report on New England Patriots' seventh-round pick and linebacker Steve Beauharnais.
Morning take: Beauharnais is a long shot to make the team as New England's final pick. But he did play at Rutgers, which is a team that really impressed Patriots head coach Bill Belichick last year.
New York Jets rookie defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson looked impressive at this weekend's rookie camp.
Morning take: Richardson, a first-round pick, should be a starter in Week 1 for New York. Few doubt his physical ability and New York's need on the defensive line.

Peter Mandelson
19 November 2012
Britain is limbering up for another battle over Europe and those who take a realistic view of its future need to prepare, whichever party they support
Not so long ago, I was asked by a European head of government whether I thought David Cameron would be willing to compromise on increasing the size of the EU budget if, in return, his European partners helped Britain in future treaty negotiations on EU governance. I did not think Mr. Cameron would consider the two topics linked, either in substance or time. On matters to do with Europe, he tends to live day by day rather than year to year and on the budget his hands are tied.
The prime minister's unenviable position is starting to attract some sympathy amongst his continental counterparts but this is not stopping most of them, including Germany, writing off Britain's future in Europe – much to their regret. Having been angered over last December's 'veto' by Mr. Cameron, they concluded that, under Conservative leadership, Britain was consciously heading for the exit door, or at least something less than full membership. They may not think that Mr. Cameron has shown much, if any, leadership in standing up to his party. But the Commons' vote favouring a cut in the EU budget demonstrated to them his lack of freedom of maneouvre. They were taken aback by hardline Tory MPs' bullying and surprised by Labour's behaviour in supporting them.
Whether this particular tactical alliance will last is questionable. As opposition politicians, Labour's leaders are inevitably pre-occupied by domestic politics. They want to turn David Cameron into John Major – 'weak at home, weak abroad'. But Ed Miliband also knows that he cannot ignore the question of Europe's future and that he must differentiate Labour's position from that of the Conservatives.
The new generation of Labour leaders are not anti-Europe but nor are they anchored as firmly in the pro-EU attitudes of their predecessors. Partly it is an age thing. Memories of the world war and then the cold war drove sentiment in favour of European unity but these memories have faded. Many are only dimly aware of the former Labour leader, Neil Kinnock's Herculean efforts to turn round party opinion on Europe in the 1980s, one of the essential steps in Labour's return to electoral credibility. Kinnock's argument, still right today, was that as a progressive party, Labour has to recognise the importance of Europe acting together to realise economic, social and environmental goals. Now, Labour leaders are smelling the coffee of growing Eurosceptic public opinion and don't want to get too far on the wrong side of it.
On the other hand, there are very few in Labour's ranks who share the pre-dominant Conservative view that Britain, like Norway, should aspire to a free trade relationship with the EU and nothing more. Or the delusion of the hardliners that, by not being in the EU, Britain could become master of his own fate. That if only we could take ourselves out of Europe's mainstream, a wonderful new vista would open up of an off-shore Britain, providing a financial and service hub to the rest of Europe, trading freely with the rest of the world, a kind of modern day Hong Kong to Europe's China. But Britain is not Hong Kong (and Europe is not China). Britain cannot make its living by becoming an isolated, old curiosity shop tourist destination, adrift from its own continent and its own European domestic market.
It is some time since I had a conversation with David Cameron about Europe but when he came to visit me in Brussels he said two things that struck me at the time. That Europe should stop peering into its constitutional navel and get on with doing what it is best at, building continental responses to global problems. And that put two Conservatives into the same room and it would not take them long to fall out over Europe. Unfortunately for him, a very large number of his backbenchers are more determined than ever to raise the stakes over Europe and, like it or not, the Eurozone crisis has put governance issues firmly back on to the agenda. Burying Europe is no longer an option for him, as it is not for Ed Miliband. Together with Nick Clegg, they are going to have to take positions on successive frameworks, timelines and blueprints of EU reform, stretching into the next parliament, that attempt to formulate a new way of running the EU that works equally well for those member states in the Eurozone and those outside it. All party leaders are going to have to explain their policies. The time for fence-sitting is over.
The difference, I would have thought, between the Conservatives on the one hand, and Labour and the Liberal Democrats on the other, is that while the former will be seeking wholesale re-negotiation of Britain's place in Europe by means of a 're-patriation of powers', the latter will seek reform and an accommodation of Britain's interests firmly in the single market whilst we remain outside the Eurozone. This is the nub of the issue for those who think constructively about Europe: without closing the door on using the single currency assuming it endures, Britain, meanwhile, should help stabilize the Eurozone through its further integration and ensure Britain's financial service interests are fully safeguarded alongside it.
This need not mean Britain is declining in influence in Europe. We will not be part of the Eurozone core for the foreseeable future but, in itself, that does not mean taking up a lonely, aloof position on the EU's periphery. There are plenty of areas where Britain can take a leading role in addition to matters concerning the single market, for example on European competitiveness, energy, climate change, defence and foreign policy matters. But a key political task faces us: to persuade our partners that, amongst the ten present members of the EU not in the Eurozone, Britain is prepared to play a constructive role in finding policy and governance solutions to the Eurozone's problems - and that, in return, we expect full acknowledgement of our role in the EU's decision-making as a whole.
Actual new treaty negotiations are unlikely to get underway until European parliamentary elections and appointment of the new Commission have taken place by 2015. But what continues to spook British debate – and thoroughly alienate our EU partners - is the anti-Europeans' incessant demand, echoed by the Eurosceptic press, for an in/out referendum on Britain's EU membership, regardless of the European timetable and before any new EU plan has emerged. This can and should be resisted. The only justification for a referendum, surely, is to allow the British people to determine their position after new arrangements have been proposed. My view is that, then, some test of public opinion will become inevitable and that pro-Europeans need to abandon their complacency about this, acknowledge that, to date, their case has largely gone by default and that it needs to be re-articulated with fresh vigour. Britain is limbering up for another domestic battle over Europe and those who take a realistic view of Britain's future in Europe need to start preparing now, whatever political party they may support.

Well, this will be quite the collaboration!
E! News has confirmed that Lady Gaga and Metallica will be performing together at the 2017 Grammy Awards.
A fan site first tweeted an unaired promo for the Grammys in which Gaga and the metal group's performance was teased. Gaga's big news comes on the heels of what's already proving to be an incredible week for the pop star. After a critically acclaimed (and fan obsessed) performance at the 2017 Super Bowl, Gaga announced her world tour for Joanne.

This is far from Gaga's first time performing at the Grammys. Last year she was on hand to pay tribute to David Bowie, but it will be Metallica's first appearance since 2014. Mother Monster isn't nominated for any awards this year as Joanne was released after the deadline, but the metal group's "Hardwired" is up for Best Rock Song at this year's show.
Previously announced performers include Katy Perry, Kelsea Ballerini, Lukas Graham, Demi Lovato, The Weeknd, Alicia Keys, Maren Morris, Beyoncé, John Legend, Cynthia Erivo and more.

Icy sidewalks proving dangerous to pedestrians
It's been several days since the last snow and a week since the blizzard, but city sidewalks are still a problem in some areas, causing a slippery situation for pedestrians and property owners.
Indianapolis Code Enforcement is taking complaints and checking them out.
"It's just ice, humps of ice on top of ice, black ice, white ice. Very dangerous," said Patrice Tyler.
That's creating a serious hazard for Tyler, who's encountering a lot of slick sidewalks as she walks to and from the bus stop.
"I take my chances in the street, because it's ice, pure ice," she said.
That's a common practice Eyewitness News saw all over the city. When making the choice between slipping and falling on an icy sidewalk or walking in the clean street - with traffic - many chose to risk their lives in traffic.
But Ricki Havens will take her chances on the slick sidewalks.
"I understand why they don't get out and do it, because it is hard work, but they could always hire someone to do it if they don't want to do it themselves," said Havens.
"So far, we have received about 12 complaints," said Al Ensley with the Indianapolis Department of Code Enforcement.
He says inspectors are responding to plenty of complaints, but right now, are only issuing warnings. No tickets, yet.
"We recognize the fact that we, on average, get seven inches of snow to this point and we've received twice that. So, we're understanding that's been a slight issue for some of these businesses," said Ensley.
Eyewitness News confronted one business owner to find out why their sidewalks weren't clear and the manager said she thought it was the city's responsibility, until we showed her the code. That manager promptly sent an employee out with shovel in hand to clear up the problem.
According to the code, the occupant of a business or resident or owner is responsible for clearing the sidewalk.
"We usually do more," said Shareese Casey.
Casey cleared the sidewalk from her house to the street, but stopped short, also unclear of her responsibility she saw the code.
Suggested Links
While they're not issuing tickets now, down the road, code enforcement officers might. There's a maximum $50 fine if you don't clear your sidewalks.
"Oh wow! Well, I appreciate you coming and letting me know that," said Casey.
If you have a complaint about icy sidewalks, you can call the Mayor's Action Center at 317-327-4622 or go online at http://www.indy.gov/MAC.

Seal has launched a stinging attack on Sydney's The Star casino and Australia's media, vowing to leave the country after police allegedly discovered a small quantity of cannabis in the hotel room of his The Voice co-star Joel Madden.
The Grammy-award-winning singer claimed he could not stand by and ''watch you attempt to destroy my Brother, you gun one you gun us all!''.
In a series of furious tweets on Wednesday morning, Seal took aim at The Star and Australia's ''trash media'' after a cleaner allegedly discovered less than five grams of cannabis in Madden's room at The Darling hotel in the Star casino about 4.30pm on Sunday.
The hotel contacted police, however they did not arrive until about 10.30pm.
Madden, who had been staying at The Darling hotel for a few weeks, was present as police searched the room.
Fairfax understands the 34-year-old Good Charlotte frontman was asked to leave the hotel immediately.
Investigations are continuing but no charges have been laid. NSW law permits authorities to issue a simple caution over such a small amounts of drugs.
Seal claimed that The Star had asked Madden, who is also a coach on the hit Channel Nine series, The Voice, to meet a cancer victim at the hotel, before his room initially was searched.
He tweeted: "homeless shelters, provide time and love for disabled kids, represent at the Logies and not to mention bring hope to aspiring artists... across the nation with his authenticity and heart. Yet having a joint in the privacy of his hotel room is worthy of front page news??? cont.
"Way to respect a guest in your country trash media, way to make us feel welcome. Keep it up..sure we'll be back next year. and yes, I say we
"because it's just a matter of time before you gun us all down. Hell, you even it you're own @DeltaGoodrem who's a national treasure!!
"It's a shame. I for one will not stand by and watch you attempt to destroy my Brother, you gun one you gun us all! Shame one the Star cont..
"you ask him to meet n greet a cancer victim in your hotel then send police to his room?? Nice…very classy..keep it up Judas. I'm done here.
"can't wait to go home."
He deleted those tweets a short time later, before tweeting:
"I was NOT slamming Australia, I was and still am slamming the TRASH MEDIA! I stand by my Bro and WILL NOT BE BOUGHT!"
That tweet was then deleted, leaving the comment:
@thevoiceau @joelmadden All my Brother has done since he's been here is serve this country by attending numerous kids hospitals cont…..— Seal (@Seal) June 12, 2013
Later, he apologised for his outburst:
I want to apologise for my rant earlier. Joel is one of my best friends and I was really hurting for him.— Seal (@Seal) June 12, 2013
Madden said in a statement: "Sunday while I was at work, a hotel employee found a small amount of marijuana in my hotel room. The police were called and responded. Sydney is my adopted home and I appreciate the way the NSW police handled the situation. They have informed me there will be no charges. I hope this didn't cause too much drama for everyone."
A spokesperson for Echo entertainment said it was the company's policy to exclude anyone caught with prohibited drugs, and that rule applied to Madden.
"He was not afforded any special treatment and he's moved out," the spokesman said.
The regulator had also been notified, he said.
A spokeswoman for Channel 9 said that police had told the TV station that no charges would be brought against Mr Madden.
She declined to comment on whether he would be sacked.
The Voice grand finalist Danny Ross has defended his coach Madden's marijuana bust, saying only "conservative" Australians consider it a scandal.
"I mean even Obama's smoked pot," said Ross. "I don't know if he keeps it in the White House, but . . . yeah."
Ross said "[Joel's] just a legend, he changed my life. And I think his radiance will outshine this particular incident."
Ross said it was unlikely Madden's run-in with police would affect Monday's grand final of The Voice.
"It can't affect him because he is who he is," Ross said. "It's not going to change him, nothing's going to change who he is.
"I personally don't think Australia's going to write him off for it either," he added.
Ross is one of four singers in the grand final, alongside Harrison Craig, Celia Pavey and Luke Kennedy.
The singer said being on the show had exposed him to numerous mainstream opinions and Australia's conservative side, so he could see why some parents would be upset.
"It's one of those things, Australia's funny. I guess I've gotten to know what the mainstream opinion feels like a little bit and how conservative we are as a society," Ross said. "That's actually cool, I'm fond of that."
The news has been met with much more humour and support than outrage on Twitter.
A small minority expressed disappointment in Madden, such as @JohnJohnsonson, who said "So disappointed in Joel Madden for getting himself involved in that terrible business (Star City Casino)."
But a vast majority of fans were firmly behind their man, while most tweets from casual observers in the Twitter community saw it as no surprise and riffed on the news as fodder for jokes about pot smoking, Madden himself or The Voice in general.
@TBoner said: "Reporting that a rock star like Joel Madden has weed is like reporting that its snowing in Antarctica".
@adam_wilkinson tweeted: "All of a sudden people are shocked Joel Madden does drugs? Do these people not see his hair on the Voice every week?", while Ryan Fitzgerald (@FitzySA) followed that theme: "I think it's pretty obvious the weed belonged to Joel Madden's hairdresser".
@_BeckDavis was one of many to link the find to his appetite for KFC: "At least we know why Joel Madden eats so much KFC."

Impact of an extreme event on the sediment budget: Hurricane Andrew in the Louisiana barrier islands

AbstractThis paper examines the influence of Hurricane Andrew on the sediment budget of an 80-kilometer section of the Louisiana barrier islands west of the modern Mississippi delta. Because long-term bathymetric change has been extensively studied in this area, excellent baseline data are available for evaluating the impact of Hurricane Andrew. Results show that despite the high intensity of the storm and a storm track optimally positioned to impact the study area, the storm did not have an overwhelming influence on the sediment budget when compared to the changes occurring over the previous 50 years. For the Louisiana barrier islands, a 50-year record appears to be adequate for averaging the long-term contributions of both major and minor storm events to the sediment budget.

How Google's Rich Snippets Can Boost Your Web Traffic
Adding rich snippets to your website is a sure way to improve your company's local internet marketing. Because Google is constantly changing its algorithms, making your way to the top of Google's search results is difficult for most companies. However, you can add rich snippets to your website yourself. The process does take a little bit of work as well as some basic knowledge of HTML5, but the extra effort will likely pay off for your company. Rich snippets can set you apart from your competitor and will likely have a positive impact on your company's bottom line. Companies who have set up rich snippets get 30 percent more clicks. With a success rate like that, you can't pass up this opportunity to improve your web traffic.
How Do Rich Snippets Appear in Google?
Rich snippets add pizzazz to your basic website listing in Google. You may have noticed that some businesses have extra elements in Google search result listings. Most have a small photo, a star rating, and a short description of the company and its products and services, but you can add other items that relate to your business. For example, if you set up an author snippet, your listing can include other articles you've written.
Businesses like yours will probably want to include detailed information about their locations, hours, and prices. If there are customer reviews available for your businesses, your potential customers will find those helpful, too. Also, if you have a lot of great online reviews, you can create separate snippets for those.
How Do I Add My Own Rich Snippets?
Adding microdata to your website is the easiest way to integrate a rich snippet into your listing on Google. Although adding a rich snippet to your website requires some knowledge of how HTML works, you probably won't need to hire an expert web programmer to add your snippets. You'll only need to add a few basic <div> and <span> tags. Thankfully, Google provides great resources to guide you.
Test Your Rich Snippet
Be sure to test your rich snippet to make sure you've added the microdata correctly. You can preview your rich snippet on Google Webmaster Tools before it goes live.
Once you've added the microdata for your snippet and tested it, you'll see your snippet online within three or four weeks. Still a little confused? Check out our Google handbook to learn more about using Google to reach customers. It'll show you how to use Google's 6 resources to boost you to the top of search results, fast!
