ATLANTA (AP) — State labor officials say Georgia's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate has dropped to 8.2 percent in April.
That's down from 8.4 percent in March, and 9.1 percent a year ago.
The Georgia Department of Labor announced the new numbers Thursday morning.
State Labor Commissioner Mark Butler said Georgia's unemployment rate is now the lowest it has been since December 2008.
He said Georgia employers created more than 31,000 jobs in April.

Questar - Wednesday, August 24, 2005 - linkWhy doesn't Anand give the details of these CPU's? How many in flight instructions? How deep are the buffers? Do the 14 stages include fetch and decode? Micro ops fusion. Instruction cracking and grouping. Branch prediction.
All these are significant to overall processor performance, but the talk is still about Ghz and FSB.
Other sites analyze this info, why not Anand? Reply
IntelUser2000 - Sunday, September 11, 2005 - linkBTW, I am not sure if I am posting a little too late but I hope the editors notice.
The last pic is Montecito, not Monticeto. Its funny how you guys exactly copied the typo that Intel had. Reply
Jeff7181 - Wednesday, August 24, 2005 - linkThe Monticeto being such a huge piece of silicon is impressive. All that silicon, and it all has to work. I guess that explains the huge price tag. Reply
sprockkets - Tuesday, August 23, 2005 - linkEven though we know Intel rushed dual core out, at least I thought they were both together on one die.
But Intel really did just slap on two cores right together for the Pentium; both are separate dies! Is this the first time we get to see the actual die? Probably because I would be embarassed!
Wait, that is also the 65nm Pentium D. They still will make it like that? Sad. Reply
coldpower27 - Tuesday, August 23, 2005 - linkSlapping two Cedar Mill cores together instead of having to use 2 Prescott that are next to each other will enahnce yeids for the Dual Core Pentium D processors on 65nm, not to mention the decreases in costs for producing these reduced die size cores on 65nm, were looking at 150mm2 max probably for Dual Core Pentium D on 65nm, with 80mm2 or somewhere in that area for Single Core Pentium 4 on 65nm. Rememeber the experience on 65nm process used by these processors including Yonah will help with Conroe as well. So it's not all lost.
They still need to produce NetBurst up till the release of this new architecture, hence a few more cores on 65nm for NetBurst. Reply
bob661 - Wednesday, August 24, 2005 - linkI'll wait for the new architecture. Oh wait, I already have the "new" architecture. it's called AMD. :p Reply
Hacp - Tuesday, August 23, 2005 - linkLooks good. This should be able to get 3.4 with 65 NM process.......... Reply
Beenthere - Tuesday, August 23, 2005 - linkAs expected, Intel is just Jive Talking about future tech and products they can't deliver for years at the earliest. SOS, DD. About the only thing Intel is good at is pulling the wool over the eyes of naive consumers and cheerleading journalists. At least Wall Street is starting to wise up to Intel's bogus claims and obsolete product line. Have you noticed Intel execs have been dumping Intel stock lately??? Gee, I wonder why they'd do that... Reply
stateofbeasley - Tuesday, August 23, 2005 - linkYou're an f'ing moron. Intel had working demos of Woodcrest at 2.16 GHz, and if you look at the roadmaps, the release of the products is about a year away, not "years" away.
Clockspeeds of the demos mentioned here:
What the f is it with you and Intel anyways? Did they kill your dog or something? God damn you are stupid. Reply
Zirconium - Tuesday, August 23, 2005 - link
Did [Intel] kill your dog or something?
I almost sh*t myself when I read that. Reply
Leper Messiah - Tuesday, August 23, 2005 - linkI seeing deja vu from the IDF of 2000...tejas and the 10GHz... Reply
ChronoReverse - Tuesday, August 23, 2005 - linkWell, Intel does have far too much resources to NOT come back and at the very least match AMD.
Pentium M is proven to be quite excellent (note the qualifier that I'm using) and with more extensive modifications (such as those Intel has been doing to create Merom, Conroe, etc.) there's little reason why it ought not be a good performer.
It'll be very interesting to see if SMT (aka Hyperthreading) will be implemented and implemented properly on these chips. An integrate memory controller would be even nicer.
Imagine a chip combining multiplecores with unified caches on an integrated memory controller with SMT better implemented. It's not such an incredible thing really. Reply
Doormat - Tuesday, August 23, 2005 - linkI fully expect hyperthreading enabled on the "Extreme Edition" chips. Reply
Doormat - Tuesday, August 23, 2005 - linkOr maybe I just cant tell without some frame of reference in the photograph. Anand, can you give us some approx. sizes? Thanks. Reply
Anand Lal Shimpi - Tuesday, August 23, 2005 - linkSorry about that guys, I was uploading at 0.38k/s in the keynote hall. Now the connection is doing a lot better and thus you've got pics :)
Take care,

7 Foods You Can Use to Lose Weight
Who knew you could eat pizza and chocolate and still lose weight?
–Jackie Newgent, RD
Eliminate this! Avoid that! Way too often weight-loss diets seem to revolve around these temporary tactics. But some foods can help you peel off the pounds by eating them rather than deleting them. Incorporate these sumptuous "loser" foods into your cuisine to help you win at losing.
1. Eggs
Get cracking! New findings from a University of Connecticut study will have you dropping that doughy bagel for good and picking up a plate of eggs. The study concluded that choosing eggs for breakfast can help adults manage hunger while reducing calorie consumption throughout the day. And findings from a University of Kansas Medical Center study suggest that teens are less hungry and eat fewer calories at lunch when they choose a protein-rich breakfast. In fact, the protein-rich egg is the original perfectly-portioned food at just 75 calories a pop – including the yolk.
Tip: Always eat breakfast. Try this one on for size. Prepare one organic egg over-easy in 1/2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil and season to taste. Serve on a slice of whole grain toast, top with fresh baby arugula, and squirt with fresh lemon juice. 200 calories. (1 egg = 75 calories.)
2. Pistachios
It's OK to be a little nutty. Nut eaters tend to have lower body-fat levels. But not all nuts are created equal. One of the best picks: pistachios. Call them the "skinny nuts." Pistachios have a significant amount of protein, healthy fat and dietary fiber, all of which can boost your feeling of fullness and the length of time it takes before you get those pesky hunger pangs. Plus, UCLA researchers studied overweight adults who were able to lose the equivalent of 10-12 pounds over three months by cutting 500 calories and adding an afternoon 3-ounce in-shell pistachio snack.
Tip: Choose in-shell pistachios instead of those already shelled. They take longer to eat, slowing consumption time. Empty pistachio shells act as a key visual cue, encouraging "mindfulness" as one eats, ultimately curbing calorie consumption. 30 pistachios = 100 calories.
3. Pizza Slice
OK, so this idea is a bit of a stretch. Or is it? A large slice of plain cheese pizza on a thin or hand-tossed crust is a just-right portion for dieters. Pile on lots of fresh veggies, and it's a nutritiously-balanced entrée. Nutrition experts say that planning favorite foods into a healthful meal plan is a key for long-term weight management. Even the American Dietetic Association suggests pizza can be a nutritious pick! And in a brand new British Journal of Nutrition-published study, researchers found that including water, coffee, tea, diet soda, fruit, soup, cereal, pasta and, yes, pizza in the diet weren't associated with higher calorie intakes and, in some cases, were connected to lower overall calorie intakes.
Tip: Savor a cheese or veggie hand-tossed or thin crust pizza slice instead of overindulging in one (or more) meaty, way-too-greasy deep dish or thick crust pieces. One large slice of a 14-inch hand-tossed cheese pizza provides about 240 calories. Make it a veggie slice and you'll add just 10 calories – plus lots more interest, satisfaction and a big nutritional boost.

TRIBUTES have been paid to an assistant horse trainer in North Yorkshire, who has died at the age of 24.
Sean McGuinness, who was a graduate of the British Horseracing Authority, joined trainer John Quinn as a pupil assistant last March. He had previously ridden as a winning jockey in Ireland and worked in America.
Mr Quinn said Mr McGuinness, who died in his sleep on Tuesday night, had the attitude and talent to go far in his career.
He said: "He was a great fella, a really decent lad with a great work ethic and a real team player, and it's a fierce tragedy for his family.
"He'd been in great form on Tuesday, working away never complained, and went for a run after tea. We're very sorry for him, racing aside, he was 24 years old, with his life in front of him. I couldn't speak highly enough of him as a human being and all the lads felt the same."
Mr McGuinness was found in his bed this morning, and despite paramedics attempts, could not be revived.
Mr Quinn said his thoughts were with Mr McGuinness' parents, who live in the Blackpool area.
He said: "It's a tragedy to lose your life like that at only 24-years-old. I broke the news to the lads this morning after first lot and they were all devastated. I feel so sorry for his poor mother and father, especially as he was an only child."

Performance credits: List of notable performances by bagpiper Eric Rigler
A legendary bagpipe player is scheduled to pay tribute to fallen San Bernardino County Sheriff's Deputy Jeremiah MacKay during his funeral Thursday at the San Manuel Amphitheater in Glen Helen Regional Park. Eric Rigler, a 49-year-old Torrance resident, has contributed his talent to movie soundtracks including "Titanic" and "Braveheart," and to Josh Groban's hit song "You Raise Me Up."
He also played "Amazing Grace" before sunset while accompanying President Ronald Reagan's coffin at his 2004 funeral.
"It's an honor," Rigler said, of playing at MacKay's service. "I was contacted by some of his colleagues."
MacKay, a 35-year-old husband and father of two, was killed Feb. 12 in a gun battle with Christopher Dorner in the San Bernardino Mountains.
A decorated detective who lived in Redlands, MacKay was a member of the Sheriff's Honor Guard who played bagpipes at the ceremonies for fallen officers.
Rigler has played bagpipes for 42 years. His parents adopted him, but he has Scottish and Irish bloodlines.
"It was the sound of the bagpipes I heard as a (boy)," Rigler said. "The sound was definitely something I thought was amazing."
Rigler has played at numerous funeral services for officers in Los Angeles and Orange counties.
He hasn't grown numb to providing the soundtrack to a family's most painful moments.
"It doesn't wear off," Rigler said. "It still means a lot to me when I go there to do what I do. I'm being requested to be there as a professional. I don't tend to let the issues bother me. I'm there to do a part. There are occasions, and I'm sure this is one, where it's very tragic, where you hold your head up and do your best."
He is accustomed to watching others melt at the spirit-piercing whine of the bagpipes.
"I've seen the toughest-looking, biggest police officers lose it at many services," he said. "They've come up to me and said `I thought I was gonna be tough until I heard you start playing.' So it definitely touches an emotional note in people."

Cattle feeding margins declined $42 per head last week after a decline of more than $2 hundredweight in cash cattle prices, leaving average losses at near $142 per head, according to the Sterling Beef Profit Tracker.
Beef packers saw their margins improve nearly $5 per head, leaving losses at $45 per head. The Sterling Beef Profit Quotient declined 127 points for the week and the industry profitability index is now negative 439.8, according to estimates developed by Sterling Marketing, Inc., Vale, Ore. A month ago the Sterling Beef Profit Quotient was a negative 143.8.
Pork producer margins improved $7.84 per head last week, with margins now at a negative $13.01 per hog marketed. Negotiated cash hog prices increased $1.75 per hundredweight last week to $88.49. Pork packer margins declined $1.56 per head for the week, creating losses of $8.40 per head, according to the Sterling Pork Profit Tracker.
A year ago cattle feeders sold cash cattle at $124 per hundredweight, resulting in profits of $0.42 per head. Last year cash hogs fetched $88.14 per hundredweight, resulting in profits of $11.37 per head.
The Sterling Beef and Pork Profit Trackers are calculated using actual weekly prices for both cattle and hogs, feed costs, beef and pork cutout prices, drop credits and other factors that influence profit margins.
The Sterling Beef Profit Tracker for the week ending Jan. 26:
- Average feedyard margins: -$141.99 per head.

|Is France Really Sheltered From Creationism?
|An Atlas, Sent To All Schools In 2007 And That Refutes The Theory Of Evolution, Came Just Like A Cold Shower.
|Two Thousand Copies Of Atlas Of Creation Were Distributed Free Of Charge To French Schools And Universities In January 2007. A Poisoned Gift…
|A Propaganda Aimed At The Whole World
|Thick (770 Pages, 6 Kg) And Luxurious (With Thousands Of Color Illustrations Of Fossil Animals), Atlas Of Creation Takes Its Evidence From The Qur'an And Seeks To Reveal The "Imposture Of Evolutionists."
|... A Surprise: An Attack On The Darwinian Theory Of Evolution With A Religious Analysis From The Qur'an Is Taking Place In Our Country.
|Dominique Rojat, A Svt Inspector Of National Education, Says: "This Is The First Major Muslim-Based Action In This Area."
|Does This Mean That It Is Likely To Influence Muslims Alone? No. Patrick Tort, A Philosopher And Expert On Darwin, Admits That There Is No Doubt That This Message With Its Religious Content Will Be Heeded By Some Muslims. However, He Also Emphasizes That The Atlas Is "A Propaganda Book Aimed At The Entire World."
|This Means That Creationism Has Influenced All Religious Beliefs With A Considerable Success.
|Throughout Its 770 Pages Atlas Of Creation Seeks To Systematically Demonstrate "The Imposture Of Evolutionists" In Both Its Text And Illustrations…
|… It Seeks To Show That The Living World Never Evolved And Was Created By God In The Form It Possesses Today.
|The Beehive, The Eye-Shaped Butterfly Wing… According To Anti-Darwinists, Chance Cannot Create Such "Wonders" Of Nature…
|It Is January 2007. Two Thousand Copies Of The Thick-Volume Atlas Of Creation Have Been Sent Free Of Charge To French Schools And Universities. New Dispatches Have Taken Place In Holland, Germany And Poland. The Work Is Luxurious, Magnificently Illustrated And A Joy To Examine…
|That Is Because It Is Sufficient To Open A Single Page To See That The Whole Aim Is To Refute The Theory Of Evolution! One Example, Of Which Many More Could Be Cited, Taken From The First Few Pages Reads: "Fossils Reveal That Life Forms On Earth Have Never Undergone Even The Slightest Change And Have Never Developed Into One Another. Examining The Fossil Record, We See That Living Things Are Exactly The Same Today As They Were Hundreds Of Millions Of Years Ago."
|... The Catalogue [At The End Of Atlas Of Creation And Referring To The Works Of Harun Yahya] Lists Many Books Openly Intended To Oppose Darwin's Ideas And Show That God Is The Sole Creator Of Living Things.
|Having Been Warned, The Minister Of Education Demanded Establishments Not To Put This Work To The Use Of Students.
|Armand De Ricqles, Holding A Chair In "Historical Biology And Evolutionism" At The College De France, Has Issued A Call To His Colleagues By Stressing The Need To Show The Gaps Of Atlas Of Creation.
|... This Reaction Is A Sign Of A New Concern In France, Which Is Facing The First Broad Attack From Creationist Theses In Its Lands.
|Students Openly Anti-Evolutionists
That Is Because Increasing Numbers Of Students In French Schools, Particularly Muslims But Also Protestants, Catholics Or Jehovah's Witnesses, Are Refusing To Study The Theory Of Evolution.
|Adeline Lecot, Professor Of Life Sciences And Earth At One Paris High School, Sets Out Her Thoughts On The Subject: "... Opposition Is Much Sharper Than Before. I Have 5 Convinced Opponents Of Evolution In My Class. Some Are Excellent Students. They Back Their Replies Up In A Much Bolder Manner, Referring To The Arguments Of Harun Yahya, Which They Found On Internet."
|According To Annie Mamecier, Ministry Of Education Inspector General And A Senior Of Life Sciences And Earth Department, "Some Situations Sometimes Arise In Which High School Students Write The Answers To Exam Questions About The Theory Of Evolution In The Way They Have Been Taught At The School, But Also Write That They Do Not Agree With The Theory Of Evolution."
|This Is A Disturbing Situation.
|In Summary, This Intellectual Trend Says That The Living World Was Created By God In Its Present Form And Never Evolved.
|We Thought It Would Be Impossible For Such A Work To Appear In France. There Is No Need To Fear Such Revisionism; Are The Legacy Of The Enlightenment And A Long Secular Tradition Not The Walls Of A Dam That Represent Our Strongest Defense? Sadly, They Are Not!
|Corinne Fortin, A Professor Of Life Sciences And Author Of A Thesis On The Teaching Of The Theory Of Evolution, Comments: "In The Class, Students Prepare Presentations On The Subject Of Evolution According To Imagination, Their Own Sociocultural Environment And Religious Convictions, And Rarely According To The Contents They Have Been Taught."
|Increasing Numbers Of Creationist Web Sites On The Internet Are Added To This Prevailing View And Individual Inspirations. According To The Natural History Museum Biology Professor Guillaume Lecointre, "All You Need Write On An Internet Search Engine Is "Evolution" In Order To Be Faced With A Large Number Of Creationist Sites."
|"With Excellent Communications With One Another, Creationists Are Far Ahead Of Scientists In Terms Of Deterrent Force."
|There Is Today A State Of Emergency.
|We Urgently Need To Make Good The Gaps On This Subject Before They Are Filled By The Arguments Of [Those] … That Are Increasingly Gaining Supporters On This Side Of The Atlantic. Because This Subject May Achieve A Political Dimension.
|... This May Also Be The Case In France, And Religious Or Other Populist Ideologies Divert The Discourse Of Science For Their Profit. We Are Dealing With A Major Challenge.
|Anti-Darwinist Attacks In Europe
|France/January 2007: 2,000 Copies Of Atlas Of Creation – A Creationist Work Based On The Qur'an And Critical Of The Theory Of Evolution – Were Sent Out To French Schools And Universities.
|France/October 2007: Alarmed At The Progression Of Creationist Ideas, Some Members Of The Council Of Europe, Under The Direction Of Former French Deputy Guy Langagne, Proposed A Resolution Banning Creationist Intervention In Education...
January 2007: The Dutch-Language Copies Of Atlas Of Creation Were Sent Out To A Number Of Schools And Universities… Minister Of Education Maria Van Der Hoeven Admits To "Not Believing In Chance" In The Evolution Of Living Things...
Vice-Minister Of Education Miroslaw Orzechowski... Described Charles Darwin"s Theory As A "Lie."
The Creationist Lebendige-Vorwelt (Rhur) Museum In Hagen-Holenlimburg Began Displaying A Large Fossil Collection Aimed At Showing That Species Remain Unchanged Over Time And Therefore Never Evolved.
... An Increasingly Large Number Of Students Reject The Teaching Of Evolution And That Charles Darwin's Theory Should Enjoy A Monopoly Position In Education.
Minister Of Culture Ljiljana Colic Recommended That The Theory Of Evolution Be Removed From Primary School Lessons Or That, As An Appropriate Alternative, Creationist Education Should Also Be Provided...
Minister Of Education Letizia Moratti Signed A Decree Intended To Remove The Theory Of Evolution From Middle School Curricula...
Evolution Is Not Included In School Curricula.

Los Angeles - With his right hand, Phil Mickelson lifted his putter off the ground in a graceful arc, as if he were raising a rifle toward the 18th hole at Riviera Country Club, as if his ball were bound to hit bottom.
Lefty saved his left hand for punctuation, for an exclamatory fist pump reserved for a golfer's more magical moments. Bedeviled throughout his round by Riviera's stealthily sluggish greens, Mickelson had read this one just right from a distance ShotLink's computed at 26 feet, 9 inches. Mickelson had forced a playoff at the Northern Trust Open with a putt more than four times longer than any he had made all day.
"I was very tentative on the greens today," he said. "I wasn't trying to be. I was trying to knock them in, but they weren't as fast as I was perceiving them to be. That last putt was one, I just gave it a good aggressive roll and it went right in the middle."
In point of fact, this was not Mickelson's last putt. Nor was it Mickelson who would hoist the trophy Sunday afternoon at the Pacific Palisades theatre known as "Hogan's Alley." Bill Haas would sink an even more preposterous putt — 43 feet, five inches — to beat Mickelson and Keegan Bradley on the tournament's second playoff hole.
"I don't say this in a negative way, but everybody is cheering for Phil," Haas said later. "He just won this last week (at Pebble Beach). He's the man. And if I'm at home, I'm cheering for Phil. Everybody is saying, 'Go, Phil, go Phil.' ...
"I just was somewhat under the radar."
Better to be under the radar than in the path of Phil's Flock when Lefty's leading a tournament on Sunday afternoon. Fans stood seven-deep around the green when Mickelson birdied the par-4 No. 5, and the galleries barely acknowledged that any other player was on the premises.
Since Tiger Woods has recently avoided the PGA Tour stop at Riviera, and this despite the club's early embrace of his career, Phil Mickelson has effectively annexed Los Angeles as part of his burgeoning home base. Sunday's playoff loss marked the fourth time in six years that Mickelson had finished first or second at Riviera and raised his career earnings at the course past the $3.5 million mark.
And if he had been even slightly better on the greens Sunday, he might have won the tournament by three or four strokes.
Less than a month ago, when Mickelson missed the cut at the Farmers Insurance open at Torrey Pines, seasoned golf writers openly wondered whether age had overtaken golf's galumphing thrill-seeker. Though golf is a lifetime game, few players remain near its pinnacle past the age of 40. Since Mickelson's 42nd birthday coincides with the third round of June's U.S. Open at San Francisco's Olympic Club, the percentages would seem to favor gradual retreat over continued charges.
Yet if Mickelson's immediate emotion Sunday afternoon was disappointment — he had, after all, won 21 of the 30 previous tournaments he had led after three rounds — he should find further reflection to be reassuring.
Mickelson's confidence is beyond shaking. No one afflicted by nagging doubt or developing would continue to attempt so many outlandish shots in the middle of major championships. No other player has succeeded in locating so many silver linings without aid of a Geiger counter. Still, it has to be heartening for a player to have performed so well in successive weeks and believe he can do better. It has to help Mickelson to know the top of his game is still attainable and still terrific.
"I've got some work I've got to do and see if I can get my game sharp," he said. "I'll start at Doral (in the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship, March 8-11), and the week after I'll take off, but I'll still be practicing, getting ready for the run up to Augusta."
Sunday's round, Mickelson said, was more of a dress rehearsal for the U.S. Open because conditions forced defensive play. Mickelson and Bradley had shared the lead at the start of the round at -7, and that same score was still atop the leaderboard when the playoff commenced.
"I didn't think that would be enough," Haas said, who started the day two shots behind the leaders. "But it was playing tough. The wind — I wouldn't say it was up; I think that's a pretty common wind here — but it was enough that when you were into the wind it made a big difference. ... It made it difficult to get balls close today."
Yet tee-to-green, Mickelson was mostly marvelous. His difficulty was in exploiting the opportunities he created. In contrast to his finishing flurry in Woods' face at Pebble Beach, Mickelson missed three straight putts just within 10 feet on Nos. 14-15-16 — two for par, one for birdie.
Had he been able to save any one of those single strokes, Mickelson could have become the tour's first back-to-back winner since Woods did it in August, 2009. For his part, Bill Haas almost regretted spoiling the party.
"I like it when the crowd cheers," Haas said. "Honestly, 'Phil' sounds really similar to 'Bill,' so you just kind of pretend that maybe they're for you."

When the retail food industry demands meeting a price point and a profit margin that may mean there is not much left for the producer. It's exactly how we push producers to do unscrupulous things.
For example, feeding animals Hexane produced soybean meal, arsenic, and DDGS ethanol by products loaded with sulfur and antibiotics.
In the poultry industry the list of short cuts and cost cuts could fit the "pink slime" description.
Let's start moving the bar up. It starts with consumers demanding retailers to carry brands that follow strict quality protocols.

Topic: Oprah Letters Mailed-Teddy-Update
Hi everyone! Letters are in the mail to Oprah. Registered!
Teddy update: October 14th the Urologist will be inserting a permanent tube and hopefully he can diss the drainage bag. BUT, in the meantime, Teddy has started itching really bad like he did 3 years ago before diagnosis. He had LAB work Monday and I am calling the ONC tomorrow. My question is this: he finished 5 weeks of radiation September 5th. For those of you who have had radiation does it cause this severe itching that seems to be getting worse? I also noticed today, small white specks on his spine, which also itch really bad.

English 101 Section A08. Writing about Chocolates and Dragons
The course will be conducted as a workshop, with students completing assignments tailored to their individual writing needs and conferring frequently with the instructor. Most assignments will be analytic essays of the sort expected in other college courses (e.g., comparison and contrast, deductive essay, book review, and literary or quantitative analysis), yet some of the topics will allow for creativity (e.g., dragon fighting, eating chocolates, and personal experiences).

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados -- Trinidad & Tobago and the Windward Islands sealed semi-final spots in the Caribbean Twenty20 cricket competition in contrasting fashion on a rain-hit Thursday at Kensington Oval.
Defending champions Trinidad & Tobago were convincing winners over Canada by eight wickets on Duckworth/Lewis method, while Windward Islands snuck home in a much closer contest, scoring the winning run on the last ball to beat Guyana by five wickets.
Canada got off to a rousing start through openers Hiral Patel and Ruvindu Gunasekera, who added 43 in 6.2 overs.
But once Dwayne Bravo changed the course of the innings with three quick wickets and Kevon Cooper claimed a wicket and a brilliant run out, Canada slumped badly and failed to pass three figures, being limited to 99-9 off 20 overs.
Ravi Rampaul took 4-26 and Bravo 3-20.
In the run chase, Trinidad & Tobago lost two early wickets, and Adrian Barath to a controversial obstructing the field dismissal. But Darren Bravo (42 not out) and Denesh Ramdin (30 not out) shared a stand of 59 to see their side home, reaching the revised target of 91 off 18 overs with only two wickets down and with 17 balls to spare.

Draft Registration
May 9, 1942 — Greenwood Miss
N. F. Cole Jr. had a sense of humor, especially when it came to government red tape. His Enlistment Records asked for current Civil Occupation. He wrote down
"Actor(Motion picture actor) or Director, Motion Picture(Motion picture) or Entertainer"
That was funny. Dad was a simple farmer but was attending college at Mississippi Statue University. He was allowed to leave school 6 months early to join the Army. MSU mailed him his diploma--which was not in theater but in Agriculture.
This explains the Occupation recorded above.

There seems to be a lot of hand-wringing about this being a "down year" for college hoops. If you define the season by whether or not there is a truly dominant team, I guess that's a fair statement. However, if you define the season by sheer entertainment value, this one has been pretty damn good. The same kinds of upsets that are celebrated during the NCAA Tournament are somehow being used as an indictment of the 2012-13 season, but I have no complaints about such an unpredictable year. Well, maybe one. It makes putting together these bracket projections increasingly difficult since it feels like virtually everyone lost last week. Throw in oddball profiles like the one Virginia is building, and this becomes a tall order each Monday night. Maybe now that we are less than five weeks from Selection Sunday things will start to sort themselves out. But with the way this season has gone, I doubt it. The projections below take into account all games played through Monday, February 11th....

These are blooming fantastic. These are the ultimate, surprise appetizer for a party, people will be amazed at these little creative bundles of sweet, smoky bacon, green bean goodness. Guests will rave about them and ask for your recipe. And you will blush and acknowledge the praise and hand over the recipe with a little "oh really, it's nothing."
And truly, it is nothing, they are so simple to make. There are some recipes floating out there on the 'net that use canned green beans. DON'T use them. Don't make me come over to your kitchen and whack you with a wooden spoon. And for those of you who want me to whack you with a wooden spoon, trust me, you wouldn't like it.
Make these. Now. For company. For yourself for lunch when the kids aren't around to watch you eat 700 calories in one bite – estimate, not real caloric value but I am sure I am close.
Ingredients for 5 servings:
40 green beans (or 8 per bundle, however many you want)
5 slices of bacon (one per bundle)
1/4 cup of butter
1/3 cup of brown sugar
1/3 tsp garlic powder
Fresh green beans, is there anything better?
Wash them and remove the ends, placing them into a microwave safe container with a little water in the bottom, you want to nuke them for about 4 minutes to soften them just that wee bit.
Melt your butter, and mix in the brown sugar and garlic. I know that the garlic seems a little weird, but trust the Ukrainian girl on this one; the garlic just gives it that extra zing it needs to go from ordinary to extraordinary. I actually typed that without laughing!
Steamed and ready to be wrapped!
Take 8 green beans and wrap one bacon slice around it. Lay the bundles with the ends of the bacon tucked underneath, and make sure the ends are touching another part of the slice, the bacon will sear together and these won't fall apart, miracle of miracles!
Take that sauce, and drizzle it over the bundles, covering them as much as possible. The sauce amount would probably have done a good 8 bundles, but I only made 5 at this time.
Pop them into a 400 degree oven and cook for about 20 minutes, until the bacon is cooked. Remove, cool them slightly and then be amazed!

Norway blazed to the top of the medal table on day one of the Winter Olympics with a haul of four in Sochi, including golds for star turns Ole Einar Bjoerndalen and Marit Bjoergen.
Biathlete Bjoerndalen claimed a record-equalling 12th Winter Olympic medal by winning the men's 10km sprint at the Laura Biathlon Center above Rosa Khutor.
Bjoerndalen, who celebrated his 40th birthday last month, matched the total mark set by his compatriot, former cross country skier Bjoern Daehlie.
In holding off Austrian silver medallist Dominik Langertinger by less than a second, Bjoerndalen also claimed the eighth Olympic gold medal of his career.
Bjoerndalen said: ''I think this is one of my most important victories. When I missed a target on the last loop I thought I had no chance to win, but I believed I could make the podium if I continued with my speed."
Bjoergen's quest to win six medals, meanwhile, began with victory in the women's cross country skiathlon.
Bjoergen, who won five medals in Vancouver four years ago, also has designs on eclipsing the medal record held by her compatriots.
And that challenge began in superb fashion with the successful defence of her 7.5km + 7.5km skiathlon title at the dramatic Laura Endurance Center.
Bjoergen, 33, completed the gruelling race in 38 minutes 33.6 seconds to finish 1.8 secs ahead of Sweden's Charlotte Kalla.
Norway finished with three racers in the top four, with Heidi Weng (38:46.8) claiming the final podium spot ahead of Therese Johaug.
The Scandinavian nation also secured silver in the inaugural snowboard slopestyle event, which was won by Sage Kotsenburg of the United States - the first gold medal of the Games.
A nigh-flawless first run saw Kotsenburg register a score of 93.50, and that proved too tough to beat for his fellow competitors, with Norway's Staale Sandbech winning silver and pre-tournament favourite Mark McMorris of Canada bronze.
Holland also enjoyed a flying start to the Games with a one-two-three placing in the men's 5000 metre speed skating.
Sven Kramer broke his own Olympic record to retain his title, taking gold in six minutes 10.76 seconds and beating the time he set in Vancouver four years ago by almost four seconds.
The 27-year-old finished 4.95 seconds clear of compatriot Jan Blokhuijsen, while Jorrit Bergsma rounded off a perfect display from the Dutch trio.
The women's ice hockey also got under way on Saturday, with defending champions Canada routing Switzerland 5-0 in the qualifiers and world champions United States beating Finland 3-1 in Shayba Arena.
Jocelyne Larocque, Tara Watchorn, Hayley Wickenheiser, Marie-Philip Poulin and Rebecca Johnston were on target for Canada, with netminder Charline Labonte making 14 saves for her third career Olympic shut-out in only her fifth game.
Hilary Knight opened the scoring for USA after just 53 seconds, with goals from Kelli Stack and Alex Carpenter building a solid lead in the second period. Finland's late reply came from Susanna Tapani.
Slovenia's ski jumping medal hopeful Robert Kranjec fell during the men's normal hill qualification round and limped away to give his team a major cause for concern on the eve of the finals.
As one of the top 10 seeds for the event, Kranjec did not need to qualify but what should have been a low-pressure warm-up jump ended in drama as he lost balance and tumbled to the foot of the RusSki Gorki Center.
The 32-year-old, world champion in 2012, won bronze at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics.
Germany's Severin Freund and Austria's Gregor Schlierenzauer shrugged off any concerns to leap 104 metres - the longest distance on the night. No points were awarded to the top seeds as their jumps were not part of the qualification process.
Defending champion Simon Ammann of Switzerland recorded a distance of 100m.
Russia remained on course for gold after day two of the figure skating team competition at the Ice Skating Palace.
The short programmes, and thus the qualifying round, concluded with the ice dance and women's sections, then the free skating final - into which the top five nations had progressed - commenced with the pairs.
The Russians finished proceedings with 47 points, ahead of second-placed Canada (41) and the United States (34) in third.
The pick of the ice dancing duos was American world champions Meryl Davis and Charlie White, who were last on in the section and scored 75.98.
Canada's reigning Olympic champions Tessa Virtue and Scott Muir came second, while Russians Ekaterina Bobrova and Dmitri Soloviev took third spot.
In the women's section, the star of the show was teenage home favourite Yulia Lipnitskaya, recently crowned European champion and given a winning mark here of 72.90.
Just behind Lipnitskaya was Italian Carolina Kostner in second and Japan's Vancouver 2010 silver-medallist Mao Asada in third.
Russia, Canada and the United States advanced to the free skating in the first to third positions and were joined in the final by Japan and Italy.
In the pairs section that followed, the home nation once again claimed the highest mark as Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov, European silver-medallists last month, posted 135.09 - much to the crowd's approval.
The luge men's singles also began on Saturday, with Germany's Felix Loch leading the way after the first two runs at Sanki Sliding Center.
Loch produced a combined time of one minute 44.149 seconds to hold the edge over home hope Albert Demchenko and veteran luger Armin Zoeggler of Italy.
The third and fourth runs to decide who will win the gold medal take place on Sunday.
There was delight for Canadian sisters Justine and Chloe Dufour-Lapointe as they claimed gold and silver medals In the freestyle skiing women's moguls at the Rosa Khutor Extreme Park.
Justine, 19, went through a technically precise final run to score 22.44 points with her 22-year-old sister Chloe following with a solid run but coming up .78 points short of the winning score.
Justine and Chloe's 24-year-old sister Maxime failed to qualify for the final phase.
Justine, overwhelmed by the her gold medal and her sister joining her on the podium, said: "It just totally rocks. It's just really amazing.
"Today I gave everything I had inside. I haven't eaten since 12 this morning.
"I felt the pressure, but I tried to just put that away and I said, 'You know what, I'm going to roar and people will see me and remember who the real Justine is'.
"All the work I have done in the past summers and winters have paid off. I'm more mature, it's working and I made it. Even me, I don't believe it."
On the gold-silver sister double act, Justine added: "It feels amazing. It happened at the World Cup, but now it's at the Olympics. We had to do three runs and we did it together. We're just really happy."
Defending champion Hannah Kearney of the USA took the bronze medal after a disappointing final run and dismissed suggestions that nerves had cost her the gold.
"It wasn't the nerves, it was a simple kick out.
"I did everything I could. I fought back from a not very good run but that one turn got the best of me today.
"It's really unfortunate it's at the Olympics, but I'm sure something good will come of it. I'm just not sure what it is yet."
Japan's Aiko Uemura was beaten into fourth for the second successive Games.
Kearney scored 21.49 in what is set to be her final Winter Olympics.

The Lancaster Lady Bruins rolled to a 27-2 win in five innings over the Spartanburg Lady Vikings in prep softball action at Spartanburg on Friday night.

The surging Buford Yellow Jackets kept pace in Region IV-AA baseball play with a 6-3 road win over Cheraw on Friday night.
A four-run sixth-inning rally lifted BHS, 8-9, 6-3, to the decisive runs in the three-run win.
Kendrick Trapps, who had a single and a double, scored two runs and drove in a run, drew a bases-loaded walk to force home a run and aid the rally. Evan "Buck Shot" Flynn had a RBI-hit and Scotti Moser drilled a two-run single.

I know it's been some time since those ace recruits inked, but as they say, there's football season, football recruiting and then spring football.
Well, we're in spring football, so here's a little football recruiting news. This might be a tad old, but then you might have missed it, too.

Mental Health
More Than Just Depression?
I am a 17 year old female and my entire life I`ve suspected there`s something wrong with me. As a kid I suffered from horrible panic attacks nightly where I believed "ghosts" were in my room. My heart would feel like it was going to explode. Those thankfully lessened as I got older but I still have a lot of trouble sleeping. I am often restless and always exhausted. Sometimes I`ll convince myself of things that are ridiculous like mind reading, ghosts or even me having supernatural powers. Now I can look back and think how stupid that is but when it happens it feels so real. I find it so incredibly hard to be around people, I`ve never been close to anyone including my parents. I have a lot of trouble concentrating especially when writing because my mind has trouble focusing. When I was a kid I was very hyperactive and very aggressive. My parents were told I should be tested for ADHD but I never ended up being tested. When I was 13-14 this changed. I`m still agressive but now I have next to no energy and I very rarely leave the house. I used to cut myself and often think of suicide but not in a serious way. I have a terrible temper. I find myself screaming over trivial things. I have a little patience. I am physically repulsive. Most of the time when I`m thinking about suicide it`s because of my appearance. I have difficulty retaining information. only within the past year have I been able to go two days without crying. Sometimes I`ll "break" I`ll scream to myself and cry and do weird things like paint on myself or cut myself or take pills. And like with believing in weird things, I can look back when it`s not happening and see how weird it is but when it`s happening it kind of consumes me. People in my class believe that I think people hate me more than they do. Is there something wrong with me?
Anyways sorry for the long rambling question, I hope some of it made sense. Thanks
Thank you for visiting NetWellness. I think you likely have some significant mental concerns and that you need to see a mental health professional for a complete evaluation! I can't diagnose depression, anxiety or another serious mental illness over the internet, but I strongly encourage you to seek help soon.
Thoughts of suicide are often a sign of extreme distress but something that can be treated. I would strongly encourage you to do one or more of the following as soon as possible:
1. Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255 (website: http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/help/default.aspx), which is free, confidential and staffed by trained counselors who are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
2. Call or go to your local hospital emergency room.
3. If you are in treatment, call your mental health professional.
Take good care.

A ROUTINE eye test could have saved a woman's sight after it helped diagnose a detached retina.
Days before Ann Grove, 66, visited her optician for a long-planned appointment, she began suffering from flashes of light and blurred vision.
Colchester Specsavers optometrist Rayna Nandhra spotted some abnormalities with her right eye and sent her to Essex County Hospital for an urgent eye test.
The next morning – just 18 hours after visiting the optician – Mrs Grove underwent surgery under local anaesthetic.
If a detached retina, often part of the ageing process, is not treated a patient can lose sight in that eye.

Kountze Cheerleaders Can Keep Bible Verses on Football Banners — for Now
Here's an update on the story I posted yesterday concerning the cheerleaders and students using Bible verses on their football game banners and signs at Kountze High School. The banners raised questions of religious freedom and the First Amendment.
The cheerleaders and students were just wanting different ways to show their faith by putting Bible verses on the banner messages, instead of the usual messages like "Beat the Eagles" or "Go Team Go" on the banner that the football players ran through at the start of a game.
The cheerleaders and students, scored a victory when a judge overturned, for now, school Superintendent Kevin Weldon's order banning the religious-themed signs. Weldon had told parents that student groups may not display religious signs at events sponsored by the high school.
The Texas Association of School Boards is the one that called Superintendent, Kevin Weldon, and recommended that the school district enforce the ban, arguing that school- sponsored speech must not endorse any particular religion. Joy Baskin, the association's director of legal services, said the U.S. Supreme Court considered similar factors in a previous case involving Texas high school football games.
This was unnerving to the school cheerleaders who made the signs, especially cheerleader, Macy Matthews. Here is what Macy told the Houston Chronicle:
It was upsetting because it's what motivated the boys each week,. " was shocked, really. I didn't understand why it would be a problem."
Parents of the cheerleaders filed a discrimination suit this week. Thursday, state District Judge Steven Thomas of Hardin County granted a temporary restraining order forbidding enforcement of the ban.
The organization Freedom From Religion Foundation got involved when they received complaints from citizens. Annie Laurie Gaylor, a co-president of the Freedom From Religion Foundation, said she was surprised that Thomas had granted the restraining order. She declared the law is clear on the issue.
"It may be there is a climate that has evolved here where people are growing up in the school district and not learning why we have a First Amendment," Gaylor said. "We need to go back to civics 101 … The school immediately did the right thing and are now being penalized for it."
Now the entire town of Kountze has gotten involved! Some Kountze business owners have placed signs in shop windows supporting the religious signs along with a Facebook group that was created after the ban, Support Kountze Kids Faith, had more than 36,000 members as of Thursday evening.
A hearing is scheduled for Oct. 4, at the cheerleaders' parents' request for a temporary injunction. Until then, the cheerleaders will be allowed to display the banners at games. The nonprofit Liberty Institute law firm, which is representing parents supporting the banners, obtained Thursday's court order.
The cheerleaders' lawyer, Davide Starnes, said the signs were created through an activity that was led by students. The cheerleaders raised their own money and used their own materials to make the signs. As far as he was concerned, the school district was taking way the students' right to free speech.
Starnes even noted a U.S. Supreme Court case, Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, that determined students did not shed their constitutional rights when they were on campus.
Cheerleader Macy Matthews said the mood at school is very tense, with some students siding with the cheerleaders and others with the district. Macy's mother, Coti Matthews, said she feels confident the cheerleaders and their parents will prevail:
"To that person that complained, I would say, 'Thank you.' If they wouldn't have complained, it wouldn't have reached all the people it has reached. All you have done is give more glory to God."

Harlow Carr, Standard
David Austin Recommended Variety
A tough little rose that bears flowers of the most perfect formation - shallow cups of the purest rose pink. These hold their form to the end; the occasional petal falling back to give a pleasing effect.
The plant has an excellent bushy habit, maturing into an attractively rounded shrub with its flowers almost to ground level - a characteristic that we particularly favour at David Austin Roses. The young foliage is bronze at first, later becoming green - and the whole plant is of truly 'Old Rose' character.
There is a strong, pure Old Rose fragrance that has been described as reminiscent of rose-based cometics. Harlow Carr is the newest and most northerly of the R.H.S. gardens. A fine display of English Roses has been created there. 4 ft. x 3 ft. x 1.0m.

Yesterday I made my first try on hot wings.
Chicken wings rinsed and blot dried.
Simple rub made by...
Garlic powder;
Freshly ground black pepper.
Making marinade...
Butter, lemon juice, hot chili flakes
Pour the wings with the marinade for at least 4 hours
Better if wings are submerged by the marinade
Set up the Barby over medium high fire and put wood chips. I used beech chunks.
Indirect cooking for about 40-50 minutes
A lovely crips skin...
In italy I can't find Frank's hot sauce then I used another Brand...
Butter and hot sauce and coat the wings. A very thin layer of sauce...
And this was the result.
Celery ribs, blue cheese sauce (I made it using gorgonzola) and wings....
What's the verdict?:-D
Does anybody come from Buffalo??

Hi Amy. Love love love your blog!!!! I am a definitely stalking it :). Lol. Just entered the blogging world. It's fun but I feel like I'm talking to myself :). Lol.
I was wondering if I could ask you a question... I teach second grade and I just started selling some of my items on TPT. I notice that you do a lot of craftivities in your classroom and sell them on TPT in your kits.... So my question is.... When you add a craftivity to one if your kits, how do you make them? Do you use photoshop or ppt? And then when a teacher buys them is she making tracers from the pieces in your kit. I did a cactus craft in my class this week but I just drew it out on construction paper and made tracers for the kids to use and then thy used the tracers to make their own on construction paper. But I'm confused how to add this to one of my kits. Can you tell me how you do it? I would be forever grateful!!!! tracers from the pieces in your kit.

Can I just say that you are my favorite second grade blogger! My kiddos did one of your activities the other day that said "made by Amy Lemons" and they were all, "Who's Amy Lemons?" and I was all, "She's my friend who teaches in Texas and gave this to me for you!" haha (I teach in KY)
I noticed that you started your adoption process in early February and you are already anticipating your little girl's arrival. How amazing! I think we are soul mates, because my husband and I are wanting to adopt from the Congo as soon as he graduates from Seminary. We've heard the process usually takes 2 years...could you give me some insight into what agency you used? It sounds like they are efficient!

Teal Novelty Daisy Flower adju ArtFire Artisan eveillet handmade Jewelry Rings Adjustable
This ring is adjustable to size from 7.5 to 9 inches.

I then used sapphire wire to make a tight spring of wire, that I wrapped around a teal freshwater pearl. Would you see yourself with this ring on a nice hot summer day, wearing a delicate simple dress with spaghetti straps, sandals, and a beautiful smile on your face? I do :-)

Don't be surprised if P.K. Subban is back in the Canadiens lineup when they play the Washington Capitals tonight. Subban, who has been a healthy scratch for the past two games, had a heart-to-heart talk with coach Jacques Martin during the morning skate and it expected he'll be in the lineup. The big question is which role he will play.
He could be paired with Hal Gill if Josh Gorges is scratched. Gorges has been labouring with a right knee injury. He skated this morning and is a game-time decision. If Gorges does go, Subban will be dressed as a seventh defenceman for insurance and will be available for the power play.
Travis Moen, who missed the Islanders game Sunday because of the flu, is also a game-time decision.
A broken nose will keep Drummondville native Mathieu Perreault out of the lineup and the Caps have recalled Keith Aucoin from Hershery to replace him.

Topic: WOW! Talk about a rollercoaster ride!
I just want to start out by saying...I truly did panic this past weekend....Lee was as sick as I have ever seen him, and thought we were living our last days with him...he was feeling the same way....I am sorry for sounding like such a raging lunatic! But as you all know...every single day is a rollercoater ride....he might be great one minute and really, really down the in the next fifteen...Kris, you were right....the PET does not pick up the tumor cosidering its size and placement...we spoke to the radiologists and she said the exact same thing....we were just so hopeful and so excited we thought for sure God had given us a miracle...but what we have learned is that the miracle might no be immediate healing...but in the days to come...the miracles are the every day little things that if you stop the insanity long enough to look around and think about it they are there and happening all of the time. Our biggest miracle yet is that we are going to Rochester Mayo on April 12!!!! The doc's on vacation now {imagine that!!!!!}. 7-10 days of testing.....does anybody know what we can expect ....on the agenda...liver transplant, plan for attack and removal of cancer....that is all we know. This is not the time we will be getting the liver however. So, needless to say as you all know...up and down, up and down....I pray that all of you continue to have the strength and courage to continue on this crazy ride!! God Bless you all!

I love "kitchen sink" recipes — you know, the kind of recipe that you can just throw whatever veggies you have in the fridge into. A stir fry is classic, but when you have lots of root vegetables, as I tend to in the winter, a vegetable gratin-soufflé is my go-to. Even better, it's super-easy to put together with ingredients I always have on hand, like milk, cheese and eggs.
This all started when I decided to pull a carrot from our backyard garden this weekend. I planted tri-color carrots from seed this fall, and I'm always hesitant to harvest carrots, since you never really know how they're doing down there. Of course, there's only one way to tell: pull one up and see.
I was gleeful at the results. What a beautiful, straight, maroon carrot! How cool is that? I had to run around to the front yard, where the hubby was playing with Nora, to show them. My neighbors all think I'm crazy, I'm sure. But look how pretty!
In addition to the carrots, I roasted a parsnip, a couple of baby beets and small head of romanesco cauliflower to toss in. Of course, the whole dish turned pink (as is usually the case when beets are involved), but it was tasty! We ate the gratin-soufflé with a side of wilted kale from the garden* dressed with a little balsamic and topped with a sprinkle of parmesan.
* How much do I love eating all these food from our very own garden? Lots!
- 3 cups vegetables, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- ½ small onion, chopped
- ½ cup fresh bread crumbs
- 3 Tbsp butter, divided
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup grated Gruyère or other cheese
- 2 eggs, separated
- pinch nutmeg
- Preheat the oven to 375°. Grease an 8- x 10-inch gratin dish or other shallow ovenproof dish of similar size.
- Toss the vegetables with the olive oil and salt and pepper in a large bowl and spread on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 10-15 minutes, tossing once to ensure even browning. Remove from the oven when fork tender and set aside.
- Meanwhile, melt 1 Tbsp of the butter in a skillet and sauté the onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Combine the onion and the roasted vegetables in a large bowl.
- In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 Tbsp butter and brown the breadcrumbs. Stir in the milk and heat until bubbly and warm. Add the breadcrumb mixture to the bowl and stir in along with the cheese and egg yolks. Season with salt and pepper and add the nutmeg.
- In a stand mixer using the whisk attachment (or by hand if you're looking for a workout), beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the vegetable mixture. Pour into the prepared pan and bake until puffed and browned, about 25 minutes. Serve immediately.

Bull Shark Diver Community - for shark sightings and protection
20.619189, -87.060599
We are trying to build a community online and offline for the protection of the amazing Bull Sharks. Our aim is to gather as many divers possible, who had or plannig to have a personal experience with the sharks. These divers are the true ambassadors of Bull Sharks in the Playa del Carmen region. Bull sharks are still arriving to this area every year for the winter months, but less and less in numbers. In 2012 November, we saw big groups of them in our non baited dives, but after reports of extensive shark fishing from the town of Puerto Morelos, the encounters became more rare, and we only see one or two sharks on our dives, if seing any. We are trying to build, using online social networks (mainly Facebook) an active comunity which can share the sightings, making sure, the next generation of responsible divers still can enjoy these amazing sharks. Also using the same network, we will try to learn about allk the activities, which are endangering the bull sharks of Playa del Carmen.
