Published April 11, 2014
A state judge recently threw out a cruise terminal lawsuit that attempted to block plans for a new cruise terminal in downtown Charleston, according to court documents.
S.C. Administration Law Court Judge Ralph Anderson III ruled on a motion for summary judgment that a group of conservationists, preservationists and neighborhood groups did not have enough grounds to challenge the planned $35 million cruise terminal.
The suit surrounded the S.C. Ports Authority's plans to upfit an old warehouse at Union Pier into a cruise terminal. The groups filed last year to block state permitting of the terminal. The lawsuit stalled construction for more than a year.
Anderson granted the motion for summary judgment for lack of standing, according to a ports authority statement.
Blan Holman, senior attorney at Southern Environmental Law Center, said the group is working with its clients about an immediate appeal. Holman said the court's decision shows that citizens cannot defend themselves from pollution from the cruise ships.
"The court theorized that building a $35 million terminal designed to home-base much larger cruise ships won't lead to larger cruise ships coming there," Holman said in a statement.
In December 2012, the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control's Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management issued the permit authorizing the ports authority to make improvements to a building for a cruise terminal at Union Pier.
The environmental and historical groups filed in February 2013 to contest the merits of DHEC's decision to issue the permit. The groups said DHEC did not extensively review the cruise issue and terminal impacts on surrounding neighborhoods before issuing the permit.
In March 2013, counsel for the ports authority consulted with the coalitions' counsel saying that the "motion was frivolous" and the ports authority would seek sanctions if the plaintiffs did not withdraw the motion, according to court documents.
The plaintiffs did not withdraw their motion. In May, the Administration Law Court ruled the motion had no basis in law, according to documents.
More recently, Judge Anderson ordered the groups in March to pay the ports authority $9,300 in legal fees, according to court records. Anderson ruled that the groups were objecting the permit solely to delay the project.
The petitioners include: the Preservation Society of Charleston, the Historic Charleston Foundation, the Historic Ansonborough Neighborhood Association, the Coastal Conservation League, Charlestowne Neighborhood Association, the Charleston chapter of the Surfrider Foundation and Charleston Communities for Cruise Control.
This is one of three lawsuits that have involved the cruise operations in downtown Charleston in recent years.
The state Supreme Court threw out a lawsuit in January that alleged Carnival Cruise Lines' operations in downtown Charleston were a nuisance to city residents.
In September, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel ordered the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Charleston District to redo its study of the permit for the new cruise terminal, which is ongoing.

Sarah was very excited, never having seen a glacier before. But here it is, Fox Glacier.
|Places and people
We stayed the night in a DOC site at Lake Paringa, an unmodified lake in a glacial valley. The huge rock, which resisted the erosion of the ice, protrudes into the Lake. The aerial photographs show why it is called Fish Hill, the outline like a huge cod.
Bad sandflies in the morning though, and we left quite quickly.
|Places and people
The lowest pass over the Divide, the line of Southern Alps that cuts down the South Island, is called the Haast, after one of the first Europeans to come here. There is a great gorge here, which was only bridged in the 20th century, called the Gates of Haast.
From here we drove down to Haast township and then south to Jacksons Bay. This tiny place was the site of an ill-fated settlement in the 1870's, which gradually melted away as settlers found easier and more profitable places to settle. When you consider the astonishing challenges of bush and climate in Southland or the fringes of Fjordland, you can see that the isolation, topography and vegetation must have been daunting indeed. Now, there's a wharf supporting the whitebait and cod trade.
We didn't see any major wildlife, though a nice bush track to the even more isolated Ocean's Bay we heard a lot of birds.
|Places and people
There are quite a few of these bridges, where the wooden deck sits amongst wires suspended from the steep cliffs each side of the river. This one, crossing the Makarora, is on the way to the Blue Pools.
|Places and people
24/01/2008, Err!
Well, it's obvious why they have the name. At this point the Blue River flows into the Makarora river, and this colour is created by the way light refracts on the icy, clear water. Lots of trout live in these rivers.
|Places and people
The following morning was spectacular and only slightly marred by the sandflies. (According to legend, the goddess of the underworld introduced these to Fjordland to ensure that humans wouldn't linger there, seduced to idleness by the beauty of the landscape. It works!)
The scenery on Lake Wanaka was also amazing. We could see at least a mile down the lake, itself half a mile across. In the dark, we could not see a single light on those hills; the only illumination came from the stars and bright moon.
|Places and people
In Wanaka township we bought some oysters. That night we found a wonderful free camp on the shores of Lake Wanaka, a little foreshore down a gravelled track. And ate a meal fit for queens. Pip prepared oysters a gratin with eggs and pepper, and here is just sitting down to enjoy them.
They were followed by splendid lamb steaks bought in Invercargill and perfect with just a little mustard.
|Places and people
Little Fairlight had another unique experience. We had never been greeted by sheep that run ecstatically towards us, baaing loudly. But there they were, five of them in a small field behind the station.
It turned out that some of the staff in the gift shop in the station building regularly treated these sheep with sheep nuts and lettuce. The cry of 'lambies' confirmed their interest, but wasn't really needed. The generous Mags gave us a few sheep nuts. Their bristly lips, sharp pointed and so unlike the broad, flat face of a horse, picked them greedily off our hands, in a strict pecking order which left one elderly, thin lass at the back. We threw her some nuts, and she managed to snatch a few.
Bidding Fairlight a fond farewell, we sped through Kingston. Pip has fond memories of swimming there, in Lake Wanaka, when she was a child. But it was a cold day and we didn't bring the wetsuits.
We visited Arrowton, now a theme village to the gold rush. The shop fronts are all done up in a late 19th century style, to sell the latest in merino/possum wool, jade and paua carvings and lots of caf� latte. The museum, though, was excellent. It had some great displays about the history of the valleys, including the Maori presence before the Europeans arrived. There were lots of memories (diaries, possessions, oral histories retold) of the miners and farmers, from musical instruments to opium pipes.
Pip bought a gold pan; one step on the way to a long-laid plan to find her own alluvial gold in the rivers of Westland.
|Places and people
Fairlight was never big, but thrived on the explosion of settlement that followed the gold rush hereabouts. Now, most of the township is an Edwardian homestead ('built in the Georgian style' by one of the original runholders), and a tiny station. The building itself was bought from Otautau when the station there was closed.
Here it is still well in use. This is the Kingston flyer, emerging majestically from the bush. She was on a special run for a 'third age' holiday; her decks were crowded by older blokes grinning fit to bust their jaws.
|Places and people
You have to take the Highway both ways to Te Anau. West of the Homer Tunnel, the 20th century solution to the rigours of climbing the Southern Alps, the road is steep. On every side are walls of sheer rock, some even too steep for the limbing agility of ferns and rata. During the rain (which was still falling as if from a hose), these run with enormous waterfalls, hundreds of metres high. Every turn in the road is a shock and delight. (We're not sure this picture realy conveys it but it's the best we could do.)
Someone is widely quoted (but we can't remember who) as saying that it feels as if there is too much scenery for the available space. The mountains and the water are competing for room. And the grandeur and sheer generosity of this landscape is astonishing.
|Places and people
22/01/2008, Still at Te Anau
The bell cry of the tui echoes everywhere we go. They are busy right now, feeding on the honey in the flax and other flowering plants. Pip was persistent in the woods at Te Anau and caught this one sipping. You can see the white collar feather that sticks out below the throats and the rich colour on the wings.
After that excitement, we made tracks north, our next destination the old gold mining town of Arrowton. On the way, we found a great space to free camp at Fairlight.

The tahake were believed extinct till a colony was found in 1948. Now they are very carefully managed, with small colonies now established on off shore islands. The wildlife refuge at Te Anau has had an important role in this resurgence. Amongst a few other injured birds, it has given a long term home to Alpine and Bruce, two birds now both over 20 years old.
As you can see, they're pretty used to cameras. This one wasn't leaving the food for anything. They are rather like the much more common (and very stupid) pukeka; the takahe is bigger and bulker, without the high step and kick to the legs that characterises the pukeka.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- After four days of intense work, the Alabama Crimson Tide football team is ready to don the pads.
First-year head coach Mike Shula will conduct his first full-pad practice on Saturday afternoon.
"The whole practice won't be tackling, but there will be some," Shula said in anticipation of the first day of pads. "We will really focus on the fundamentals of tackling. We will teach guys how to put their head on the ball, wrapping up and how to take care of the football when some is trying to take the ball away."
The Crimson Tide worked in helmets and shoulder pads each of the last two days, picking up the tempo on the field each day.
"We worked in the plus territory today and the guys handled that pretty well for the most part," Shula added. "There was a lot of new stuff for them to learn today. (The red zone) is the most important area on the field. We can't have any turnovers and we always need to score some points.
"Overall it was pretty good. It was the second day of hitting, so the guys will be pretty sore tonight and tomorrow."
Following Saturday's first full pad practice, the Crimson Tide will begin two-a-day practices on Sunday. The two-a-day sessions will be held Aug. 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18 while one-a-day practices will be conducted on Aug. 11,13, 15, 17 and 19 before classes begin on Aug. 20.
Alabama will begin the 2003 season on Aug. 30 against South Florida at Birmingham's Legion Field. The game will be televised nationally by ESPN, with kickoff scheduled at 2 p.m. (CDT).

I did not bother watching it to the end, i hate rap, it`s shite.Rappers are just talentless arse holes.
Sorry, but I'am brutally honest. Rap may be popular with the younger crowd and all but facts remain the same. It is not really music. It is only 3 maybe 4 chords over and over. if it actually had a melody it would be a different. But 3 chords over and over while talking or rapping as they call it does NOT constitute it as music by no means...Sorry but I call it as I see it....... Rap is for people who can't write a tune or sing...

Secure donations by Network for Good
By Douglas Smith When Arnott Folsom launched the Lincoln Children's Zoo in 1965 with personal funds and the energetic arm twisting of his friends, he envisioned a zoo designed for children, to instill in them a respect for all living things by introducing them to the wonders of the natural world. The plan was for an action place – a place where young and old could see, touch and do. The Zoo was initially constructed on three acres of city owned land. The animal collection numbered nearly 120 which were sold annually until 1974. Today the Zoo is three times that size with a professional staff, AZA accreditation, and 300 animals of 90 species. Our success attests, 43 years later, to the durability of Arnott's vision, and the staff's commitment to our mission: "to enrich lives through firsthand interaction with living things."
Arnott had a personal interest in dinosaurs and knew that kids felt the same. When he designed the entrance, visitors were greeted by a life-size (fifty feet and over a ton) brass and concrete sculpture of a stegosaurus skeleton, presiding over a small, but lovely, entrance fountain. "Stego" was an instant hit and became, over the years, first a landmark and then an icon. But anyone familiar with a 35' diameter sculpture fountain would know that Stego had a dark side. Children were drawn to it, climbed on it, stubbed their toes on the guy wires; make-a-wish money was thrown and then retrieved by later guests – everything requiring the attention of Zoo staff. The circle of sycamore trees surrounding the fountain overcame all efforts at skimming and cleaning. Hot days and unchlorinated water made a photograph of the fountain more pleasant than the real thing. Fast forward through forty-two years of maintenance and management of a beloved icon to the point where deep and expensive renovation was required and you understand the Zoo's dilemma and opportunity. Staff discussions on an appropriate exhibit and use for Stego took nearly three months, and revolved around the Lincoln Children's Zoo "Learn firsthand" motto. Discovery, engagement, safe play, learning and movement were all on the required list when a major donor joined the discussion with both cash and a request for a "dig activity." The donor's longtime interest in paleontology and successful gifts to the local natural history museum drove his request that we interest children in the science of paleontology. Mimi Wickless, the Zoo's director of education, was familiar with the museum's small, shallow "dig activity" where kids could carefully brush away the sand from bone shapes molded into the bottom of the dig. She appreciated the kid's sense of discovery as the bones were revealed, but saw an opportunity as their interest waned when they couldn't pick them up and handle them. She also realized that a strictly scientific exhibit with Stego was a stretch – Nebraska was under water at the time of the stegosaurus.
Design work for the adaptive reuse of Stego and the fountain progressed along side of activity planning, with the 4,500 sq. ft. Stego's Big Dig as the exciting result. Opened in late June 2008, and costing $250,000, nearly 70 percent from a single donor, with another $80,000 in donations, the exhibit has become the centerpiece of ZooVille commons at the center of the Zoo. Design credit is shared by Zoo staff and local firm, BVH Architects. Physically, Stego has retained his historic position – just fourteen feet higher in the air, supported by a single column from the center of the former fountain. The fountain wells have been filled with 14" of washed sand and 50 to 60 clean bones have been distributed and buried. A small building to house interpretive materials is adjacent, and shade structures both soften the look and cool the guests. All of the plantings and the lovely circle of sycamore trees were retained, forming a natural enclosure with clear sightlines to the commons area where the Safari Café, Bug Buddies building and the Camelot Commons Education Center are located. One could hardly imagine a better showcase for the renovated Stego, or a more inviting activity based exhibit. But the real excitement has centered on the activities, which appeal especially to two-to-twelve year olds but have proven engaging even for adults. Timed visits to the exhibit have ranged from two to forty minutes, with the average being 12-15 minutes. Stego continues to draw kids, and the expanse of sand beneath him takes full advantage of the "see sand – jump in sand" response you're familiar with. No introduction, explanation or orientation is required; children see others finding things in the sand and showing them to the attendant and soon they start digging. Discovered bones are taken to a "PaleoPal" and compared to a full animal skeleton for identification. Bones from a mouse, raccoon, dog, bear, horse and a replica dinosaur demonstrate that a femur is a femur, and help show the commonality of all living creatures. Younger children show great delight in just knowing where their treasure fits on the skeleton. Older children want to see each side of the same joint and conversation moves toward cartilage and connective tissue. It's not uncommon to see a PaleoPal wordlessly touch a child's back and witness the "aha" moment of recognition – the found scapula in their hand, in the skeleton before them, and in their own body. What better demonstration of our motto, "Learn firsthand." Children are invited to rebury their found bones, which most do, and the eagerness of their effort leads us to suspect that soon the active strata will be at the bottom of the fountain. As one of very few zoos focused solely on children, the Lincoln Children's Zoo works very hard in every part of the Zoo to engage children intimately with nature, as we have neither the acreage nor the finances for expansive exhibits. Our animals can mostly be experienced from within five feet, our butterfly pavilion encourages gentle touching, and Stego's Big Dig continues our forty three year tradition of active, engaging, hands-on learning. Douglas Smith is the Associate Director of Development at Lincoln Children's Zoo

I need a bent fork. I'm possibly going to have to do a steerer transplant for my cracked Gitane TdF fork, and I am just not comfortable sacraficing a perfectly good fork. I really need to find a bent french fork so I can just take the steerer off of it.
Here are the pics of the fork I picked up at the co-op. It's french threaded, and has campy dropouts. Can anyone identify this fork? It just might get saved if it's unique..

HuffingtonPost Blogger Feed for Daniel Stevens Good old fashioned elbow grease. The Home Office Needs to Treat International Students Better tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2013:/theblog//3.3545807 2013-07-04T08:58:37-04:00 2013-09-03T05:12:01-04:00 Daniel Stevens http://www.huffingtonpost.com/daniel-stevens/ You then send off your passport and all the documentation required to the Home Office, spending days scouring over it to ensure you haven't made any mistakes. This must be the fifth time you've rewritten it and you've made sure your handwriting is impeccable. Now you just need to wait. And wait. One month has passed. You continue to wait. Two months have passed. You start to get nervous. Three months have passed. You're now getting desperate. You've already booked flights from the UK to see your family for the first time in two years. Surely it can't be taking this long? Your parents are calling you daily enquiring over the status of your application. You call the Home Office and they respond "our staff cannot provide any information about your application if you applied less than 6 months ago." (Their emphasis. Not mine.) You're shocked. What type of company doesn't provide an estimated delivery time for an application? Heck, even dominoes gives a play by play for that pizza you ordered. You call the International Office but they are unable to help either. You have no clue when your passport will be returned. Two days come and you've been forced to miss your £600 flight home. You're now spending Christmas alone thanks to the service of the Home Office. This story isn't farfetched, it happens to international students all the time. Students were stuck in the UK due to ridiculous visa processing delays last July and again last Christmas. NUS received hundreds of case studies and emails from worried students and parents. One University told us that the length of time taken to process an application ranged from 63 days (9 weeks) to 189 days (27 weeks). The average processing time for their applications was 106.93 days (over 15 weeks), meaning if you applied for a visa last October you were likely going to miss Christmas at home. Even worse, a sizeable number of applications come back with mistakes, meaning that they have to be reprocessed. That's why the NUS gave the Home Office the Yellow Card and worked to develop a set of expected service standards to present to the Home Office, as it develops its functions following the disbandment of the UKBA. It is one thing to say we are open for international students, and it's another to take responsibility for the service students are receiving - a service they pay a premium price for. Students deserve better. That's why NUS is calling on the Home Office to developed clear service standards for their treatment of international students. They need to make it far clearer to applicants what costs and documentation will be required of them and to provide greater flexibility in the case of genuine mistakes. We also think keeping applicants properly informed about the status of their visa throughout the application process is a basic right. And finally, we want to see the Home Office tackling the unacceptably high level of application processing delays. Developing clear and fair service standards for the treatment of international students would be a great initial way of demonstrating a new approach from the Home Office, after a number of years which have seen international students treated terribly following a raft of confused policy changes. And it would do a huge amount to meaningfully show that the UK really is open to international students. Let's hope that they take this up.]]> Speaking Out for International Students is a Step Forward tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2012:/theblog//3.2197324 2012-11-27T19:00:00-05:00 2013-01-27T05:12:01-05:00 Daniel Stevens http://www.huffingtonpost.com/daniel-stevens/ publicly highlight the damage the government's policy to reduce net migration is doing to international students. On Monday, he wrote to both Theresa May and Vince Cable backing a campaign to exclude students from the government's targets. Johnson should be thanked for publicly campaigning on this and I support the aims and objectives laid out by him in his letter. It's so important that politicians reach a broad consensus on the issue and that the UK changes its policies for international students. It is for this reason that, tribute should be paid to the cross-party work that both Labour MP Paul Blomfield and Conservative MP Nadhim Zahwai have done on this issue. Immigration has become a hot potato for all political parties and international students have been inadvertently placed at the heart of the government's policy. The only way the government can meet its net migration target is by reducing the levels of legitimate students. Given the immense negative impact this policy has had on international students and universities - it is imperative that the issue be approached and reviewed in a non-partisan manner. Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives need to find a way to get out of this together. Boris Johnson's actions should be treated as an olive branch by the Opposition. Boris has laid out three important policy changes which should be supported. First, international students should be removed from the government's net migration targets. Second, measures should be introduced to protect international students if their institution loses their sponsor license. Third, an education exports commission should be set up. The first two policy recommendations are uncontroversial. The government's net migration target has been the reason for a raft of extraneous changes which has severely limited the rights of international students studying in the UK. The IPPR think tank highlighted this in quite detail in a recent report. The second is long overdue given what happened at London Met and more importantly- what's happened at dozens, if not hundreds, of private colleges. The third policy recommendation needs to be picked apart more. What the UK urgently needs is not just a commission to examine the overseas impact of policy, but a coherent strategy from government for international students. The UK had a successful and coherent strategy under the Prime Minister's Initiative for International Education which brought together all stakeholders under a common goal and quantifiably improved the lives of international students in the UK. What's important now is how these recommendations by the Mayor of London will be taken forward by the Home Office. Whilst the change in rhetoric is refreshing, the reality is the same gloomy narrative for international students. Real change is needed soon before the UK's reputation is irreversibly tarnished.]]> Let's Talk UK Government Immigration Policy tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2012:/theblog//3.1378422 2012-03-25T19:00:00-04:00 2012-05-25T05:12:02-04:00 Daniel Stevens http://www.huffingtonpost.com/daniel-stevens/ The government's long list of new regulations price international students out of a UK education through visa fees, added maintenance requirements and the requirement to pay university fees up front, tighten English language requirements, and remove a variety of rights from international students. In addition to being economically disastrous, their target is unachievable. Net migration was around 252,000 last year, the vast majority from students: 238,000 visas were issued last year to students coming to study at UK universities, colleges and schools. Surely students, almost all of whom return home after their courses, shouldn't be included in the count? No such luck. Students are being hit the hardest. Private colleges have been sacrificed with 250 stopping the recruitment of international students and the sector seeing a 70% drop in applications. Now the UKBA is threatening to ban public colleges from recruiting international students. It's not just colleges. Middlesex University expects a 50% drop in students coming from India. Teesside University was reported yesterday as having their license temporally suspended. The government's own impact assessments predict this might cost the sector £3.6 billion a year - on top of the £6 billion in cuts they're already introducing. Nevertheless, Immigration Minister Damian Green and Home Secretary Theresa May have insisted that this policy of drastically cutting down student numbers still conforms to the policy of attracting "the brightest and best" and insisting Britain is open for business to "genuine students." Something is fundamentally wrong with government policy when the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University attacks the new visa rules and worries about their impact. He's not the only one. Universities UK, the Russell Group, the British Council and the Institute of Directors have joined a long list of institutions opposing these changes - for the first time in recent memory, all on the same side as the National Union of Students (NUS). The changes will be brutal, not just for the sector, but for international students who have had their rights stripped away from them, from students in private colleges to PhD students in Russell Group Institutions. The NUS International Students' Campaign have launched a new social campaign called "Share Your Story." Our goal is to paint a narrative about what's really happening due to government migration policies. Over 1,200 international students have already engaged with the campaign with many sending in their personal stories. One student missed his uncle's funeral because the UKBA held his passport for weeks. Several mentioned the minor mistakes on visa applications which meant entire applications had to be redone and the visa fee repaid, costing thousands. Another discussed a friend who had to refuse a job and return home because his visa was rejected on trivial grounds. A SOAS student told us a company reneged on her job offer when they learned she was an international student. The public don't even want these changes. A recent poll by the Migration Observatory found only 30% of respondents favored reducing international student numbers. International students are being victimized purely for political reasons. We're an easy target; but we're not defenseless. We need to have another public debate on immigration - do UK citizens want a creative, multicultural Britain leading the world in research, or do they want a country that looks like the Conservative back benches? Before we do, let me clear up some popular misconceptions: International Students Only Come Here to Work. The majority of international students study and return home. A very small percentage stay for work experience, then go home. The government's own report on which it launched its policy found that of international students who arrived five years ago only 7% of international students were still in the country working legally. The minute number of bad apples who are reported using the system illegally should be dealt with individually. International students in HE courses can only work 20 hours a week. Those in FE colleges can only work 10. International students in private colleges now have no working rights. International students Take University Places from Home Students This simply isn't how the UCAS system works. International students pay absurd fees. If anything, International students actually subsidise home students. According to the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants, tuition fees alone from international students bring in between £5.3bn and £8bn to the UK economy every year, with further benefits generated by money spent on food, housing, travel and entertainment. International students also bring academic benefits to UK universities. The diverse perspectives we bring to classrooms enrich the learning experience for all and enhance the employability of UK students as global graduates in a highly competitive global marketplace. If this is not what you want from the government's immigration policy, then help us build momentum with our campaign. Encourage your friends to "Like" the Facebook page. Write your MP.

AMERICAS ZONE GROUP I: There was no room for surprises in the first day of the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas Americas Group I final. Brazil managed to play their best tennis and also took advantage of the crucial absence of Ururguay's Pablo Cuevas. The Brazilians lead the tie 2-0 at the Carrasco Tennis Lawn in Montevideo.
World No. 135 Rogerio Dutra da Silva made a flawless debut for the Brazilian team in the opening rubber defeating Marcel Felder 62 62 63.
Next up was Thomaz Bellucci, who didn't give his rival Martin Cuevas a chance, earning a straight sets win 61 64 75 that made the numerous Brazilian fans that travelled to the Uruguayan capital city cheer in the stands.
The two-point lead means that Brazil is only one point short of qualifying for the World Group play-offs for the sixth consecutive time.
The knee injury to Uruguay's No. 1 player was, as expected, a major handicap for the local team as it forced Marcel Felder to play a rival that he had very little hope of beating.
"Joao Zwetsch (Brazil's captain) was very clever in choosing him. His playing style is really difficult for me," declared Felder.
Bellucci was happy with his victory but not completely satisfied with his performance.
"I have not played my best tennis today but luckily, I managed to win. It's not easy to play away," said the world No. 35 who complained about an interruption at the start of the third set that made him lose momentum.
The action resumes today from 11:30 local time (14:30 GMT). The Uruguayans Felder and Cuevas play the Brazilian pairing of Bruno Soares and Joao Olavo Souza.
It came as a surprise to many, but Ecuador managed to beat the Canadians in the first two rubbers of their Davis Cup Americas Group I tie and are now only one point short of getting a ticket to the World Group play-offs.
According to the rankings, the visiting team was clear favourite to win both matches but the Ecuadorian players were determined to defy the odds. The locals took advantage of the slow surface that neutralized the service/volley playing style of the Canadians.
The first rubber saw Ecuador´s Iván Endara Campozano take on Canada´s Vasek Pospisil. The atmosphere in the stands was very lively with the locals supporting their local player in every point. The 23-year-old Endara made his plan very clear, he played very long rallies and did not let his rival take the initiative at any moment.
Everything worked very well for the Ecuadorian in the two first sets. The heat started to take its toll on the Canadian and Endara´s service was improving game after game. The local player took a two-set lead 63 64. The third set saw Pospisil fight back to take the set in the tiebreak. The Canadian started to connect with some very good forehands and reduced his unforced errors percentage. It seemed that a comeback was possible.
Pospisil took an early break in the fourth set to lead 3-1 and the tension started to be visible in the stands. However, Endara would not lose another game in the match and secured the first point for the locals. The final score was 63 64 67(6) 63.
"This victory is very special for me because yesterday night I couldn't sleep thinking that I would be playing the opening match. I´m very happy with how I played from the beginning," said Endara.
The first two sets of the second rubber were very tight and both ended in a tiebreak, one for each player. The third set was also very even but this time the Ecuadorian Julio Campozano managed to break Philip Bester´s service to take the set 75. The Canadian could not cope with Campozano´s intensity in the fourth set and the Ecuadorian completed a crucial victory for his country 76(4) 67(4) 75 62.
Campozano was overwhelmed with emotion after the four-hour long match. "I think I´m crying because I need to relieve the tension that I accumulated during the match. These hours have been very mentally intense for me; I could not relax at any point in the match. I think these tears show my happiness. But there are still three points to be played and now I have to recover and secure the victory in the tie."

In early 2006, a dozen staff members from the California Department of Health Services received extensive training on how to administer antibiotics from the Strategic National Stockpile in the event of an anthrax attack.
Unlike previous exercises the state had run, however, this simulation didn't involve recruiting mock patients or setting up a staging area. The setting - and patients - were all virtual. Researchers from the University of California-Davis Health System re-created a 3-D model of the California Exposition and State Fair in Second Life, an Internet-based world in which people are represented by virtual body doubles called avatars.
"The aim of the exercise was to see if the state could constantly train people in setting up emergency clinics," explained principal investigator Dr. Peter Yellowlees, a professor of psychiatry at UC-Davis, whose research interests include the use of virtual reality for health education on the Internet. "One big advantage is that they could do this training 24/7 from wherever they are, and you don't have to recruit patient volunteers."
Yellowlees isn't alone in seeing the potential of using virtual reality simulation to train first responders, medical personnel and emergency management officials. Across the country, researchers are exploring how simulations can augment training efforts. Much of the impetus is coming from the growing use of simulation in medical training. Most medical schools are incorporating simulation in their curricula and measuring its effectiveness.
Another driving force is the U.S. Department of Defense, which for years has been funding research about computer simulation for war fighting and medical purposes. Research to support military operations done by organizations such as the Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center is being customized for homeland security exercises.
Robert Furberg, a research analyst for the Center for Simulator Technology at research institute RTI International in Research Triangle Park, N.C., noted that virtual reality simulations are appealing for emergency response training.
"A full-scale exercise takes a lot of advanced preparation and requires daylong drills - it is expensive and time-consuming," he said. "With simulation, we can run through a mass casualty event and change the parameters. Each case is a little different, and it is available 24/7."
Virtual Patients
With an $80,000 grant from the California Department of Health Services, Yellowlees and his staff sought to determine if they could make the training in Second Life realistic and worthwhile for emergency medical personnel.
Two years ago, they went to a real-life simulation held at the Sacramento Exposition Center, with 250 state employees and 1,000 members of the public volunteering as trial patients. Yellowlees and his crew taped the exercise as patients were registered, signed consent forms, were examined and given simulated antibiotics.
They then worked to re-create the environment in Second Life. Virtual patients flowed through the clinic, while staff members role played. The program can be adjusted to simulate different numbers of patients. For instance, it could be ramped up from 100 to 150 patients per hour. Yellowlees said his team also built quiz tools to assess how well people have grasped what they've learned.
He said he believes the project was a success because they made the virtual environment look reasonably like the real thing. Also, feedback from state employees indicated the program worked quite well. Nevertheless, California has yet to expand its use. "That was 18 months ago and they haven't taken us up on it yet," he added. "They are trying to see how it fits into their long-term goals."
Virtual Reality Triage
With funding from the Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center, RTI has been working for several years on a simulation platform for primary care doctors, nurses and paramedics. A virtual reality simulation that runs on a basic laptop computer allows medical workers to study and

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. ?? Former University of Alabama All-American linebacker Barry Krauss will join the Crimson Tide Sports Network broadcast team for the 2007 football season, CTSN general manager Michael Alford announced today.
Krauss, a three year letterman (1976-78) for the Tide, will replace Tom Roberts as the network's sideline reporter, while Roberts will serve as the host of the network's game-day broadcast.
Former quarterback Tyler Watts will take on a larger role with CTSN this season as well. He will join Chris Stewart for the network's pregame and postgame shows and will also work with Stewart as the color analyst for CTSN's delayed telecasts of Alabama games.
The voice of the Crimson Tide, Eli Gold, enters his 20th season as Alabama's play-by-play announcer and will once again be joined by former All-American quarterback Ken Stabler, who returns for his tenth season as the network's color analyst.
In addition to his new role with CTSN, Krauss will also join the Indianapolis Colts broadcast team as host of its radio pregame show for the 2007 season.
Krauss is remembered by most Tide fans for stopping Penn State running back Mike Guman on fourth-and-one in the 1979 Sugar Bowl, the play simply as the "Goal Line Stand." Krauss was named the Most Valuable Player of that game, the only time in Sugar Bowl history that a lineman has received that honor.
In 1976 he was voted the Liberty Bowl's Outstanding Defensive Player and game MVP. He led Alabama in tackles in 1977, with 91 and was second on the team in 1978, with 112. He was a member of the Alabama All-Century team, a 1978 All-American and two-time All-SEC selection (1977 and ??78.) Krauss was the sixth overall pick by the Baltimore Colts in the 1979 NFL Draft. Over his 11-year NFL career he was the Colts' team MVP (1984), Dolphins' team MVP (1989) and accumulated more than 1,000 tackles.

The NAIOP National Capital Challenge is an intercollegiate real estate case study competition organized once a year by the Maryland/DC Chapter of NAIOP (Commercial Real Estate Development Association). Each year, this prestigious competition is sponsored by a developer, who provides a parcel of real estate the company is in the process of developing. The teams of students representing each of the region's best real estate masters programs spend the next six weeks to formulate a winning development strategy for the designated parcel.
The NAIOP Capital Challenge has always seen fierce competition amongst the schools. This year, along with the usual suspects: University of Maryland, Georgetown University and Johns Hopkins University, you guessed it, George Mason University's MS in Real Estate Development program is also a contender.
William C. Smith Company, a prominent real estate developer deeply rooted in the Washington D.C. area provided two sites in the booming Capitol Riverfront area in South East D.C. for the teams to work on. During the competition, students get to step into the shoes of a major developer, use their imagination and analytical skills to devise a project that is both creative and economically viable. In return, WC Smith will benefit from the focused and creative efforts of all the competing teams.
Real estate development is an interdisciplinary sport. In addition to playing developer, each team is provided with a group of world-class consultants in the various fields that are necessary to making any real estate development project successful. Working with the George Mason team are WDG Architecture, Cassidy Turley (Brokerage), Charles P. Johnson & Associates (Civil Engineering), Balfour Beatty Construction (Construction), Trammell Crow Company (Development) and Eagle Bank (Finance). In addition to these consultants, each team also reaches out to experts in retail, marketing, hospitality, urban planning and government to gain specialized knowledge in order to develop a project that is creative yet grounded in economic reality.
This intense competition is already underway. On March 29th, after reviewing written submittals and oral presentations, a panel of distinguished judges selected from the region's real estate industry will pick a winner.
Students representing George Mason University are Alexandra Bettius, Ken Jonmaire, Roger Lin, Jeanne Skinner, Erik Taylor, Parks Underdown, Malcolm VanDeRiet and John Zemlan. The team is advised by faculty members Mark Hassinger and Robert Wulff.
Go Mason!
