Hello, sweethearts.
Welcome to my new monthly column, in which I plumb the depths of the Previews catalog and separate the nuggets from the turds. The ultimate goal is to point out good books that may be flying under your radar, while occasionally taking advantage of the platform to mock and sneer at stuff I don't like.
Remember, no retailer can afford to order everything that is solicited every month, so letting your favored store know that you're interested in a certain title will go a long way toward ensuring that it recieves the appropriate attention. Otherwise, it might not get ordered, and, thanks to Diamond's new cut-off policies, it might never come out at all.
I'll start with the covers:
The cover to the August 2009 Previews catalog announces the final issue of Planetary by writer Warren Ellis and artist John Cassaday, which is probably a wise move by DC since most of the world has by now forgotten that this was still coming out. Call me fickle, but after three years I find it hard to muster up a lot of excitement for this, apart from the pretty Cassaday cover, especially considering how silly the previous issue was.
Speaking of silly, the flip side (or: the cover for people who like to read Previews upside down) features something called Cowboy Ninja Viking by Image Comics (apparently Monkey Pirate Zombie was taken). Seriously? From the writer whose only memorable accomplishment was having the most forgettable run on a Batman title in recent history, and the artist of that one book my Jewish friend liked because it had a Golem in it or something. Seriously? This is your cover feature? Oy vey.
Moving on:
SUGARSHOCK by Joss Whedon and Fabio Moon (Dark Horse, pg. 22, $3.50) The Eisner Award winner for Best Web Comic, originally appearing in MySpace Dark Horse Presents, and published here with never-before-seen material. The story is fun and kinetic, if a bit slight, but it's Moon's art that sells it for me.
BATMAN #692 by Tony Daniel (DC Comics, pg.73, $2.99) Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse for the Caped Crusader, Tony Daniel returns to the title as artist and writer. But hey, maybe he'll be able to interpret his own scripts better than he did Morrison's?
WARLORD #7 by Mike Grell (DC Comics, pg. 94, $2.99) Mike Grell takes over pencilling duties from local boy Chad Hardin, likely in order to appease the nostalgia-driven fanbase who has been pretty vocal in in their distaste for Hardin, presumably for not being Grell-like enough. Which is exactly the kind of reactionary knee-jerk behavior aging comics nerds seem to do best, as if that 70's shit was really all that good to begin with. Then again, we might actually find out just how good it was, because between Grell writing and illustrating Warlord, and Gerry Conway, Doug Moench, Walter Simonson,Jim Starlin, and Marv Wolfman all doing something for DC this month, these solicitations read like they're about thirty years late.
HELLBLAZER: SCAB TP by Peter Milligan and Giuseppe Camuncoli (DC Comics/Vertigo, pg. 115, $14.99) I haven't read this, but according to some, this is a return to greatness for both Milligan and Constantine, from which they've both been absent for far too long (I dropped Hellblazer sometime during the dismal Denise Mina run, and Milligan has been on auto-pilot since the cancellation of Human Target, if not earlier). So, I will probably give it a shot. As usual, a new writer on the title signals a good jumping-on point for this Vertigo mainstay.
SHADE THE CHANGING MAN VOL.1: THE AMERICAN SCREAM TP by Peter Milligan and Chris Bachalo (DC Comics/Vertigo, pg. 119, $17.99) A new printing of the first half of the first storyline of what is one of my favorite series of all time, with a new cover by original cover artist Brendan McCarthy (yay). It's a bit rough in places, and Bachalo's art certainly isn't as refined as it would become later on, but it sets the stage for some of the most innovative and mind-bending comics Vertigo has ever produced, and that includes the majority of Grant Morrison's output.
SHADE THE CHANGING MAN VOL.2: THE EDGE OF VISION TP by Peter Milligan and Chris Bachalo (DC Comics/Vertigo, pg. 119, $19.99) The concluding half of The American Scream, reprinted here for the first time ever. Further collected editions probably hinge on the sales of these two trade paperbacks, so please, do us both a favor and pick this up, valued reader!
X-MEN: ASGARDIAN WARS HC by Chris Claremont, Arthur Adams, and Paul Smith (Marvel, pg. Marvel 90, $34.99) Chris Claremont's words usually make my eyes bleed, but the pretty artwork from Art Adams and Paul Smith in oversized format might be worth a look. Hopefully, the recoloring only goes as far as that unfortunately defaced cover.
GHOST COMICS by various (Bare Bones Studios, pg. 208, $10.00) Themed anthology featuring a solid line-up of indie cartoonists, including Jeffrey Brown, John Porcellino, and that guy from Low. A Xeric Grant recipient AND a benefit book, you practically HAVE TO buy this.
THE BOX MAN HC by Imiri Sakabashira (Drawn & Quarterly, pg. 261, $19.95) Described as a surrealist scooter trip featuring animal people and weird sex stuff (which, along with the preview panels posted here, suggests all kinds of awesome). I have never read any Sakabashira, but if Red Colored Elegy and the Tatsumi books are any indication, D&Q knows exactly what kind of manga appeals to the discerning art comics reader (right, the filthy kind).
THE BEST AMERICAN COMICS 2009 HC edited by Charles Burns (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, pg. 269, $22.00) I usually have a hard time recommending these, for the work they reprint is often not in its original length or context, but anyone looking for a very broad sampler of some of the best work currently being done in comics could probably do no better than picking up one of them. The line-up for this year, featuring work by Kevin Huizenga, Adrian Tomine, and Chris Ware, strikes me as particularly strong.
ACT-I-VATE PRIMER HC by various (IDW, pg. 282, $24.99) New stories by the web comics collective, featuring Nick Bertozzi, Dean Haspiel, and Roger Langridge. If you've spent any time on the Act-i-vate website, you know this is not to be missed.
BINKY BROWN MEETS THE HOLY VIRGIN MARY HC by Justin Green (McSweeney's, pg. 287, $29.00) A classic of sorts, and the first long autobiographical work to appear in underground comics, this is a gloriously fucked-up study of OCD and Catholic guilt. And the incredibly corruptive power of penis rays.
STUMPTOWN #1 by Greg Rucka and Matthew Southworth (Oni Press, pg. 294, $3.99) With Queen & Country indefinitely on hold, Rucka trades in international intrigue for neighborhood crime watch, with a new creator-owned crime series set in his current city of residence. If by now you aren't aware that Rucka does crime as well as anyone else in comics, a mere $3.99 are likely going to correct that.
GOGO MONSTER by Taiyo Matsumoto (Viz Media, pg. 310, $27.99) Another brick of a book by one of my favorite comics auteurs, creator of the boldly original No. 5 and Tekkon Kinkreet, who draws equally from American, European, and Japanese influences to create a uniquely gorgeous style of his own, and one whose work has been criminally underrepresented here in the States. Billed as a tale of a young boy with an overly active imagination, this is bound to be as wonderfully imaginative and surreal as anything he's done, but hopefully not as overlooked. Seriously, if there is a book in this catalog that I wish everyone reading this column would give a chance, it's this one. Check out the pictures of the Japanese edition!

Report: Microsoft Preparing Google Glass Competitor
Shane McGlaun

Actor Kunal Nayyar wearing Google Glass
No details on Microsoft's product are available
When Google unveiled its
Google Glass wearable electronic device
, it caught the imagination of many people with its futuristic looks and premise. Following the initial buzz created by Google Glass, word has now surfaced that Microsoft is currently testing prototypes of its own internet-connected eyewear.
The tip comes from people who "claim to be familiar" with the plans at Microsoft according to the
Wall Street Journal
. "Technology companies can't afford to wait," Canalys analyst Daniel Matte said. "But device vendors will face a number of tough challenges including strict power constraints which limit the number of sensors."
The market for
wearable smart electronics
is expected to grow to $10 billion by 2016. Microsoft missed out on the big smartphone market shift that occurred when the original iPhone launched in 2007. It also missed the boat after Apple found success in the tablet market with the iPad and saw its first generation,
first-party tablet hardware flop
. Microsoft doesn't want to get caught flat-footed again in the wearables market.
Internet connected eyewear is expected to remain a niche category for at least the next 3 to 5 years, but products like Google Glass are expected to do well in specialized markets such as security and healthcare.
One key factor for wearable electronics such as Google Glass and competing products is the price. Google Glass is expected to sell for around $1,500. Those prices obviously need to come down significantly moving forward to attract a large consumer market. Consumers will also have to get past the "
creep factor
" of connected eyewear.
"We don't know how to make a $500 computer that's not a piece of junk." -- Apple CEO Steve Jobs

USER EDITORAJMeredith
This episode marks return of Beth Greene since her disappearance in "Alone".
This is the fourth time Carol's fate is left unknown by the end of the episode.
Michonne reclaims her Katana in this episode.
The title of the episode comes from Gabriel's objecting to the violence just committed in the House of Lord, to which Maggie replies, "No, it's just four walls and a roof."
Goof: When the remainder of the party is being besieged in the church, Father Gabriel is seen clutching a Rosary. This is incorrect. He is a priest in the Episcopalian Church, which while very similar in it's rites and practices to the Roman Catholic Church, do not venerate Mary, as Catholics do;
There are five bible quotes on display in the church (Romans 6:4, Ezekiel 37:7, Matthew 27:52, Revelation 9:6, Luke 24:5). Most are references to dead returning to life.
This episode marks that Tyreese did not actually kill Martin as he is seen in the end of the episode eating Bob's foot.
Goof: During the scene when Rick prepares to ambush a team of Terminus residents and take their weapons. Daryl saves Rick from a walker with a crowbar, however, Daryl didn't have a crowbar for a weapon but a metal pipe handle he broke off a machine before leaving the slaughterhouse. He then no longer has the crowbar, but has the metal pipe again from earlier.
Goof: When Rick shoots several Terminus residents with the assault rifle, the ejection port doesn't open during any of the shots.
Goof: The train car where the group is locked is in a different position than it was in "A".
Goof: When Carol was about to shoot the gas tank at Terminus, we could see two Terminus residents run past the tank. But when the camera zoomed in and Carol fired the first shot, those two Terminus residents could be seen running past the tank again.
It is revealed that the Terminus residents turned into a group of cannibals after being attacked by a group of anonymous people.
The title of this episode comes from the fact that Terminus isn't a sanctuary as it claims, and also from Rick's repainting of the Terminus sign so it reads "NO SANCTUARY".
This episode features the most deaths for a season premiere, with a total of at least 24 casualties.
Before Rick and his group enters Terminus, he buries a bag of weapons that includes:
Colt .357 Python
Two 9mm Uzi
12 gauge Remington Shotgun
Lightweight Colt Commander 1911
45 Bowtech 101st Airborne
A total of eight confirmed Walkers that were killed in this episode. Glenn had the most Walker kills with five.
The song playing in the pre-credits opening sequence is "Maybe" by The Ink Spots. It is also featured in other post-apocalyptic fiction, namely in the role-playing video game series Fallout.
There were nine confirmed Walker deaths on the show. Carol had the most kills with three.
Carol's handgun is a .38 Caliber Colt Cobra. It is the same type of handgun used to kill Lee Harvey Oswald.
After Carol kills the Walker that came after the girls, Mika tells Lizzie to count to three and look at the flowers. The first time Mika had Lizzie do this was when Carol had to kill their father in the episode "Infected".

Telecommunications wholesaler Telcoinabox has signed a reseller agreement with VoIP provider Engin in response to the results of a franchisee survey.
From April, Telcoinabox's 110 service providers will have access to white-label VoIP and hosted PBX services from Engin.
Telcoinabox chief executive Paul Line said the deal was Telcoinabox's "most important yet".
"Our service providers are now equipped to offer the small and medium enterprise (SME) market with an internationally-recognised platform for VoIP services," he said.
The deal followed Telcoinabox's internal survey which found over 90 percent of its franchisees felt the time was right to go to market with these products, Line said.
The VoIP platform product is based on Broadsoft with hardware and Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) from Cisco, Netcomm and Polycom.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Here is the second part of a two-part series detailing the life of Justin Matthews Sr. Matthews was responsible for many landmarks and developme snts in the North Little Rock-Sherwood area, including Park Hill, The Old Mill, The Roundtop Filling Station, and The Sylvan Hills Country Club (now The Greens at North Hills).
During the same time that Matthews began the Edgemont project, he began building homes in the area on the Ark-Mo Highway (now State Highway 107) north of North Little Rock, which he name sz ld Sylvan Hills. As part of his plans for the Sylvan Hills subdivision, Matthews began building the Sylvan Hills Country Club in 1926, which was completed and officially opened in 1927. The country club was envisioned and built by Matthews to provide recreational opportunities for residents living in both Park Hill and Sylvan Hills. The country club is now known as The Greens at North Hills and is owned by the City of Sherwood. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.
In 1927, Matthews was appointed to the Arkansas State Highway Commission by Gov. John Martineau.
Unfortunately, Matthews' timing for the opening of Edgemont in Park Hill and Sylvan Hills proved to be terrible. Only sixteen houses in Edgemont and handful of homes in Sylvan Hills were built before the Great Depression, which began in 1929, and brought construction to a halt.
In 1932, Matthews developed a park in the Lakewood subdivision which he named T.R. Pugh Memorial Park in honor of Thomas R. Pugh of Portland, Arkansas, who was a close friend and benefactor of Matthews. Today, the park is more commonly known as "The Old Mill." The park featured a recreation of an 1880s water-powered grist mill and other structures, which were designed and created by Mexican sculptor, Dionicio Rodriguez. The structure is most famous for its part in the opening scenes of the 1939 film, "Gone With The Wind."
In 1936, Pierce Oil Company contracted The Justin Matthews Company to build a uniquely-shaped filling station along the old Highway 67/167 between Jacksonville and North Little Rock. This building would become known as the Roundtop Filling Station. The Roundtop was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.
Justin Matthews passed away on March 21, 1955, at his residence on Cherry Hill in North Little Rock. He was survived by his second wife, Robin. Matthews was buried in Little Rock's historic Mount Holly Cemetery alongside his first wife, Agnes Somers Matthews, who had passed away i churches and service establishments." Noting Matthews' roles in street-paving and bridge-building, the editorial concluded by saying, "His works will always remain to testify to his imagination and vision, his boldness, his dynamic energy and his driving force that prevailed against formidable obstacles."

Faye and Family- Faye you had a wonderful husband – I enjoyed working so very much with Ernie and knowing his great family. He was a wonderful guy and we loved him very much. Take care and love to you. Jane Hurd
Ernest Clive Fortner Jr., "Ernie," 77, of Pulaski County, peacefully ascended into heaven on April 17, 2013, at his home, with his family by his side.
Ernie was born on January 7, 1936, the son of Ernest Clive Fortner and Sarah Johnson Fornter and was raised in West Virginia. He graduated from Concord University in 1960. After graduating college, he spent his early years with his wife Faye working as a teacher in Florida. He then worked for RCA at the Cape. He worked as a computer analyst and mathematician for the Federal Government at DDPC/Ardasia. Ernie loyally served his country and veteran of the Korean War. Not only did he take pride in his work, but he truly cherished the close friends he made along the way.
Ernie is predeceased by his son Ernest Clive Fortner III.
He leaves his loving memories to be cherished by his beautiful, devoted wife of 55 years, Deloris Nunn Fortner (Faye), his daughter Charissa Fortner Massie (Chari), his sister and brother-in-law Kathleen and Dale Bailey. He is also survived by his three precious grandchildren, Brown, Emma and Olivia Massie, who loved him more than words can describe.
Anyone who knows Papa and or Ernie knows he was an angel on earth. He had a God-given gift of light that could brighten up any situation. He enjoyed spending his time at his lake house nearby at Claytor Lake. He absolutely loved the sun and took any opportunity to escape to his beach house in Daytona Beach, Florida. He appealed to the young and old alike and was truly the life of the party. His many loving memories will remain with his family, extended family and friends forever, and he will truly be missed.
Ernie's final wishes have been carried out to the last detail. Therefore, no funeral service will be held. We will have a memorial service at Claytor Lake at a date yet to be announced.
Faye and her family wish to extend our deepest gratitude for all the prayers and support from friends and extended family. They also would like to thank the Carilion Hospice staff for all their care and support in his final days.
Faye and Family- Faye you had a wonderful husband – I enjoyed working so very much with Ernie and knowing his great family. He was a wonderful guy and we loved him very much. Take care and love to you. Jane Hurd
Earnie and I went to school together he was a good friend mine . My deepest symphony to his family, he was a great man I am sure will be sadly missed.
Betty French Hughes
Speaking for all our Princeton High School Class of 1953, we are saddened indeed to learn of our classmate, Ernie's passing. You two attended all our class reunions and he was such a joy to know. Please accept our deepest sympathy and we wish you God's Blessing.
Phyllis (Conner) Posey & PHS Class of 1953
Ernie was a great guy! We were classmates in High School. I spoke with him several times at our last reunion at Pipestem State Park. Faye, my prayers are with you and the rest of your family at this time. Rest in the knowledge that Ernie is now in a much better place.
Jim Johnson, PHS Class of '53
So sorry to hear of Ernie's passing. We'll miss seeing him here in Daytona Beach. Our most sincere condolences to Faye and family. ~Your neighbors, Pete and Lori.
I was so very sorry to hear about Ernie. Thoughts going out to Faye and Chari. I had known Ernie my whole life, him being one of my dad's very best friends. He was such a great person and so fun to be around. Ernie came to visit my dear mother when she had a stroke and was in the hospital and that meant alot to her and my family. Mom always said that Ernie was the best dancer she ever danced with. Sadly she passed away just a couple of weeks ago. But I know that they are on the other side dancing and having a good ole time and we will be with them again when it's our time.
I grew up with Ernie, starting with grade school and through high school. He was a wonderful friend and we will miss him. He always had a smile on his face. It was always so good to see and talk with him at our class reunions. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Jane Bird (Claytor)
PHS classmate of 1953
We are saddened to hear news of Ernies passing.
He was a greast guy and we always enjoyed seeing him & Faye at our class re-unions. They were great dancers and he was always a real joy to be with. We will miss him on Claytor Lake.
Verna Lou Conner – Class of '53 & Ken class of '52
I have many fond memories of the entire Fortner family throughout my growing up in Pulaski and being friends of the family. He will be greatly missed by many. My thoughts are with you all.
So sorry to hear about this passing. I remember him as helpful and upbeat cheerful. He will be missed by all who shared parts of their lives with him.
Thank you for your kind comments about Ernie. He was my love and will be missed greatly. Love to you, Faye

Caldwell to retire as Army North commander
Updated 10:35 pm, Tuesday, March 12, 2013
U.S. Army North commander Lt. Gen. William Caldwell IV, who oversaw missions at critical junctures in Iraq and Afghanistan, will retire from the Army this year.
He'll leave San Antonio for his native Georgia, where he'll become president of Georgia Military College.
"We have made some absolutely wonderful friends and relationships that will endure well beyond our departure," Caldwell said in a letter revealing his retirement from Army North, also known to many here as the 5th U.S. Army.
A former 82nd Airborne Division commander, he oversaw the dramatic growth of Afghan security forces from 2009 to 2011. Those forces in his tenure went from 190,000 soldiers and police to about 330,000.
Caldwell, a 37-year veteran, also grappled with the now-familiar pattern of "insider attacks" launched by Afghan troops against coalition forces. In the winter of 2010, six GIs were killed by Afghan border police in one incident.
A study later showed that most of the attacks were carried out by "lone wolfs" and weren't systemic.

Caldwell got the idea of joining the Army after his father, who headed the 5th U.S. Army from 1978 to 1980, was assigned to West Point.
The younger Caldwell couldn't be reached Tuesday but said last year in an interview, "I thought, 'Gosh, I want to be like them.'"

10 home health care myths debunked- part II
10 home health care myths debunked- part II
Posted on January 16th, 20121/16/12 | No Comments
The need for homecare is growing, and so are the number of questions people have about it. In a recent blog entry, we faced five common misconceptions about home health care head-on, and now we're topping it off with five more because, when it comes to your health or that of a loved one, there is no room for compromise.
6. If I get home health care, I have no say in who my caregiver should be. Caregiver compatibility is imperative due to the personal nature of homecare. When you arrange for a care professional to come into your home, you must ensure that you find someone you can trust. Each family should be matched with a caregiver with whom they are comfortable, which is why family members should must identify what they would like in a caregiver and be upfront about this with your homecare provider.
7. I may need homecare, but it is unsafe to invite a stranger into my home. From a security standpoint, if you are dealing with a qualified, reputable agency, you should feel safe in arranging for help in the home. From a medical standpoint, studies show that the home can be a safer than the alternatives and not only because of the one-on-one care. One study indicated that half of infections could be linked directly to hospital care. Another studyreported that, given they are seeking the appropriate treatment for their condition, patients with chronic heart disease fare better at home versus the hospital. And, ultimately, remaining home can be less stressful because it is familiar, which can foster a sense of calmness and comfort for patients.
8. I only need help with basic hygiene care, so I don't qualify for homecare. However basic your needs, there should be no limit for a homecare provider to assist you. Be sure to find ahome health care agency that can provide the full range of homecare, from basic peer-level companionship and hygiene assistance to highly skilled nursing and therapy.
9. We had an emergency at 3 a.m., but we'll just have to wait until normal business hours to get help at home. When you and your family face an urgent situation, the last thing you want to do is wait around. Read these first time parents' story about finding newborn careat 3 a.m. Find a provider that can provide 24/7 customer service and assistance.
10. Until I know exactly what we need, I don't need in-home care. You don't need to know, that's what qualified homecare professionals are here for. Just make sure any agency you turn to offers R.N. oversight on every case to ensure all of your loved one's needs (from safety, health and everything in between) are accounted for. Take this case from one of ourhomecare agencies as an example:
An elderly woman who was looking for basic bathing and shopping assistance was found to have been suffering from cellulitis unbeknownst to the woman's daughter and hidden under her sock – all because an R.N. is required to perform an assessment on every case, no matter what kind of assistance is being provided.
Are we missing anything, or do you have a question about home health care? Ask us, or post a comment now!

Community FisheriesObjective
The objective of this program is to support the design, establishment, management and monitoring of co-management mechanisms for fisheries resources by organized groups of fishermen. In addition, it will support alternative community productive projects that can reduce the pressure on fisheries.
Pilot Program
1. Establishment of a co-management agreement between the fishers and the administrator of the Cuero y Salado Wildlife Refuge, Honduras.
This is the first project in Honduras that involves fishermen directly in the management of fishing resources in a protected area. The three fishing communities of the Cuero y Salado Wildlife Refuge have organized themselves to create the association called Asociación de Pescadores La Rosita Cuero y Salado (APROCUS) that represents them. They have signed an agreement between the association and the Cuero y Salado Foundation (FUCSA), co-administrator of the refuge, for the co-management of a fishing territory, which includes four no-take zones with a diameter of 1 Km each. This agreement will allow APROCUS to design and develop the management plan for their fishing territory and to monitor the no-take zones jointly with FUCSA. APROCUS has identified capacity building needs, and a training program is being developed with external technical assistance. The program will include the following topics: environmental education, alternative economic activities, natural resources protection and conservation techniques, and fisheries regulation enforcement.With external technical assistance, the training program for the members of APROCUS was implemented including the topics they had identified. FUCSA awarded APROCUS the administration of an ecological camping site, and is also looking to support the implementation of the action plan developed. The no-take zones total area declared is 314 Has, covering 17% of the co-management area. With funding from PROCORREDOR project, the action plan developed during the co-management project supported by MAR Fund has started its implementation. Two fish distribution centers have been built, one in La Rosita and the other one in Salado Barra fishing communities. Both communities are part of APROCUS. From September 26 – 28, 2012, APROCUS attended the workshop 'Planning for the Conservation of the Barras de Cuero y Salado Wildlife Refuge' in La Ceiba, Honduras. In the workshop, using the MIRADI methodology, authorities and fishers identified the Refuge's main threats and possible solutions to them. A meeting with Mariela Ochoa (consultant), Ana Paz (FUCSA), Cristian Pérez (Marine Governance Project from RECOTURH) and fishermen from APROCUS was held during the workshop. As a result of this meeting, specific training topics for APROCUS were identified: leadership, sustainable tourism practices, seafood commercialization and distribution center management.
2. Monitoring the ecosystem of the community marine reserves of the Arrecife de Puerto Morelos National Park, Quintana Roo, Mexico: Fishers and authorities working together for the co-management and sustainable use of the reef.
The Puerto Morelos Cooperative in Quintana Roo, Mexico has put together a team of fishermen that has been train in scuba and monitoring. The team has completed two full monitoring phases. Thirteen strategic monitoring sites were selected in the protected area, and within the sites 65 transects were setup to measure several indicators of reef health (fish, corals, key invertebrates, topographic complexity and substrate type). With the assistance from the Mexican NGO Comunidad y Biodiversidad (COBI) the Cooperative developed the baseline of the reef's status, and will now be able to measure long-term changes and restoration processes through a monitoring plan, inside and outside of the designated community marine reserves. Based on the data analysis, the Puerto Morelos Fishing Cooperative submitted a proposal to the National Commission of Natural Protected Areas (CONANP) to modify the Management Plan. Their recommendation is to expand an existing marine reserve (no-take zone) and to add a new fishing ground. The proposal was accepted.
As part of Phase II, a workshop was delivered to evaluate the monitoring techniques used during Phase I by the Puerto Morelos Cooperative for the registration of fish, corals, key invertebrates, bottom complex, and substratum type data. The Natural Protected Areas National Commission (CONANP), the Akumal Ecological Centre, and COBI conducted the workshop.After this workshop, the fishermen completed eight more monitoring exercises, which included data collection in 65 transects. Staff from CONANP and COBI verified the improvement in the quality of the data. Authorities are considering including some of the trained fishermen as part of their monitoring staff. Based on the data analysis, the Puerto Morelos Fishing Cooperative submitted a proposal to CONANP to modify the Management Plan. Their recommendation is to expand an existing marine reserve (no-take zone) and to add a new fishing ground. The proposal was accepted. CONAPESCA, the Fisheries Administration, extended its patrol activities to include the no-take zones. The no-take zones total area declared is 3,527 Has, covering 39% of the co-management area.

TOP STORY > >Officials find funds missing in Beebe audit
Leader staff writer
Missing money in the police drug-buy fund, unprepared budgets for special revenue funds and temporary checks not properly numbered were some of the problems uncovered in a state audit of Beebes 2006 city financial statements.
The nearly $5,000 in missing money is the subject of a state police investigation.
Jacksonville, on the other hand, received the highest ratings possible from the auditors of its 2006 financial statements and received an award for the 10th year in a row for its outstanding financial reporting.
State auditors found problems with Cabots financial statements, while Jacksonville and Sherwood passed without concerns.
A letter prepared by deputy legislative auditorJune Barron states that accounting records for the police drug-buy fund, maintained as a cash fund, indicated a balance of $3,292, but no cash was on hand.
Another $652 identified as seized by the Beebe Police Department was not on hand. Also a $150 rebate check, payable to the Beebe Police Department, was cashed by then Police Chief Don Inns, but not remitted to the city for deposit.
The letter states, These missing funds, totaling $4,727 during the period January 1, 2006 through August 7, 2007, are under investigation by the Arkansas State Police.
According to the auditors, lack of management oversight involving cash transactions contributed to these unaccounted funds. We recommend management monitor cash transactions on a periodic basis.
In the mayors office, the auditors said that the mayor did not prepare a budget for certain special revenue funds, including intoxi-meter, fire protection, radio equipment repair and replacement, drug control and court automation as required by state law.
Auditors also cited the clerk/treasurers office for issuing 59 temporary checks valued at a total of $47,715 that were not prenumbered as required by state law. Auditors also said that fixed assets records were not updated for the current year.
In another letter released by the legislative joint auditing committee, auditor Roger Norman said the citys financial statements do not present fairly the financial position of the City of Beebe or the changes in its financial position or its cash flows.
The auditors also said Beebes water and sewer fund statements did not disclose all the required information concerning deposit risks. The omissions, in the opinion of the auditors, are why the financial statements do not present a fair and proper picture of Beebes finances.
The auditors believe there was a deficiency in the citys internal control of fund management.
A control deficiency exists, according to the audit, when the design or operations of a control does not allow management or employees to prevent or detect misstatements in a timely fashion.
Auditors said that to ensure the proper safeguarding of assets, financial accounting duties relating to initiating, receipting, depositing, disbursing and recording cash transactions should be distributed among appropriate employees. Auditors felt this was not being done in Beebe.
In an audit of Cabots 2006 financial statements, auditors found noncompliance with state law and accepted accounting practices in the office of the clerk/treasurer.
According to Barron, five items that were considered capitol expenditures were not listed on the citys inventory record, and four items on the citys fixed asset records had been sold, but were still on the citys inventory list.
Auditors also found errors or omissions in the citys financial records.
According to the letter issued by Barron, when the city converted to a new accounting system in July 2006, the beginning general fund account balances under the new system was different then the ending balances under the old system. These differences in the financial records were not reconciled, wrote Barron.
Also cash and investments in the amounts of $82,112 and $205,863, along with receipts and disbursements of $301,699 and $278,064 were not recorded due to a failure of the city to record investment and loan activity.
The citys aggregate financials contained what Barron called misstatements for receipts and disbursements in the amount of $220,807 and $2,164,236 due to the city not recording receipt and disbursement activity in the debt service construction funds.
Misstatements for cash and investments in the amounts of $19,528 and $30,379 were discovered primarily due to the lack of record-keeping for investments.
Barron called these findings a significant control deficiency in the process of preparing financialrecords.

Derek Holland on Justin Bieber, being a Stars fan, video games
Texas Rangers pitcher Derek Holland recently joined Ben & Skin on KRLD-FM. Here are some highlights.
On the Stars poking fun at Justin Bieber:
"I had everybody showing me that on the Twitter world, and it was pretty cool so I decided to call that the 'Rally Bieber.' As soon as I saw the first one, goals just started flying. It was just unbelievable. I have no clue what happened (regarding Bieber's arrest). I don't care about that junk. I don't really care for too much of his music. I don't really listen to it."
On being a Stars fan:
"I feel like we don't talk about the Stars enough. I feel they need to get more publicity. I mean, it is Dallas' team. I'm pretty sure we're trying to make Dallas the place to be. That starts with all teams not just one. We got to get some support for these guys. I think everybody scored (against the Maple Leafs). They got the touchdown, kicked a field goal, they did it all yesterday. It was awesome."
On what he's doing to pass the time while he rehabs:
"Right now, it's a little NHL 14 and some Grand Theft Auto. I've been playing Grand Theft Auto religiously. Like I said, I've been having a lot of down time. All I'm doing is sitting in that leg thing and icing. I'm going to be the king of Xbox it seems like, the way that I play it everyday.

text: How to replace WVU's Big 3? By Dave Hickman December 24, 2012 Story Share MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - If Shannon Dawson were to get the Christmas present he wants today it wouldn't come wrapped.Instead, it would be in the form of some kind of assurance that come early Saturday evening - at roughly the time West Virginia wraps up its Pinstripe Bowl game with Syracuse and the 2012 season - he will have someone to replace the seemingly irreplaceable.Dawson is West Virginia's offensive coordinator. That means he's the one fortunate enough to be working with Geno Smith, Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey.It also means that after those three play their final game on Saturday, Dawson will be front and center in trying to figure out what to do next.Truth be told, though, Dawson doesn't seem too worried by what appears to be a massive rebuilding job. He's worked with head coach Dana Holgorsen in this offense on and off for a few years and at a few stops, and in every instance irreplaceable players were always replaced."It's been that way everywhere we've been. It's just the nature of our offense to get playmakers the ball,'' Dawson said, referring to the slew of passing records set by Smith, Austin and Bailey and the entire West Virginia offense. "Now what we've got to do is find people to replace those guys. And it's not been any different anywhere we've been. You have people you think are irreplaceable and then, all of a sudden, so and so steps out of nowhere and becomes a really good player."It'll happen. But we're going to enjoy this last game with these guys. They've meant a lot to this program and they've meant a lot to us. We appreciate those guys and we want to send them out the right way.''Smith, Austin and Bailey are certainly at the forefront of the group of offensive players who will make their final appearance Saturday against Syracuse. Smith holds every passing mark in West Virginia's record book - significant - and most of the insignificant ones, too. Austin and Bailey are 1-2 in most of the receiving categories. But the Mountaineers also lose tailback Shawn Alston, receiver J.D. Woods and the middle of the offensive line - center Joe Madsen and guards Jeff Braun and Josh Jenkins. In all, there are 11 seniors on offensive two-deep, plus Bailey, a junior who will leave early for the NFL draft.It's a group that was recruited by Bill Stewart's staff and endured that coaching change and the philosophical shifts that went with them."This group's been through a lot,'' Dawson said. "They've been through scheme changes, coaching changes, stuff like that. It's really just the nature of college football today. You have to be able to adjust."Kids are resilient and the one thing I give these kids credit for is they've bought in. They've bought into our philosophy offensively and, minus a couple of them, we haven't had a lot of problems. For a majority of the guys that have done a bulk of the work, I'm very appreciative of those guys.''None have been with Holgorsen, Dawson and the rest of the offensive coaches long, but they adapted well, obviously. The same players who were young parts of an offense that ranked 61st and 67th their first two seasons were crucial in an offense that was 15th last year and eighth this season."They've set a really good foundation for younger guys to grow on,'' Dawson said. "And that was really the point. Whenever you take over at a place you've got to win with the guys that are there. And then winning with the guys that are there, hopefully you can set a foundation for those young guys to come in and build off of it. And hopefully they've done that.''Reach Dave Hickman at 304-348-1734 or email@example.com or follow him at Twitter.com/dphickman1.

Wines a la Arte to showcase Altamont's rich and diverse art community
By Kristin Casey
ALTAMONT Natives are not surprised that a rich and diverse art community thrives in and around this hillside village, nestled at the foot of the Helderbergs just fifteen miles from downtown Albany. But for the rush of newcomers to the area and those livingoutside Altamont, the number and variety of art forms being produced by artists, many known for their work far beyond this region, is not common knowledge.
For this reason, the Altamont Free Library and the Beckmann family, owners of the Appel Inn, are hosting Wines a la Arte on Thursday, Oct. 16, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Appel Inn, 590 Route 146, just east of Altamont. The event will showcase over 30 local artists, displaying examples of their work, providing an opportunity to meet the artists and experience their work.
Guests also will be able to participate in a silent auction of select artists' works and a wine-tasting with local wine experts Greg Giorgio and Ted Neumann, featuring fine red and white wines with an artistic theme, and complemented with refreshments and hors d'oeuvres. Located in a beautiful country setting, the Appel Inn was established in 1765, and provides a unique and historic venue for the event.
Of the 30 artists participating, a broad range of art will be showcased.
Carly Wright, a studio jewelry designer who works in sterling silver and enamel, uses the ancient technique of champlévé, a process of inlaying enamel in recessed areas of metal. Wright markets her jewelry at upscale retail craft shows throughout the Northeast and wholesales her work to 75 galleries nationwide through the American Craft Council show in Baltimore. Her work can be found in galleries from Nashville to the Georgia O'Keefe Museum in Santa Fe.
Dietrich Gehring is a fine arts photographer, specializing in landscapes as well as horticultural and agricultural subjects. A selection of his landscapes and agricultural images are part of the permanent collection at the Albany Institute of History and Art, and his fine art prints are sold through galleries and exhibitions. Gehring's photography has included a study of Jamaican migrant workers at home and abroad and documentation of the transition of agriculture in Soviet Russia from collective farms to private enterprise. His latest body of work, a whimsical collection of images of garden gnomes at work and play in natural settings, will be on display at a Czechoslovakian museum.
David R. Miller, recognized as a leading architectural photographer, graphic designer and digital artist for the past 35 years, will also have his work on display. Clients for his fine-art photographs and illustrations include architects, contractors, editorial magazines, corporations, galleries and private collectors.
Mark Van Wormer, who teaches photography at the Emma Willard School, will display works from his regional and international travels.
Ron Ginsburg will showcase photography of a variety of area scenes.
Johanna Martin, a photographer formerly of Altamont, will present samples of her work.
Allan Ditton will show pieces of his high-fired stoneware pottery, featuring matte-textured, terracotta-colored glaze. His work is shown in over 50 galleries nationwide, including 10 of the top 100.
Lars Turin, who retired as an art teacher in 2007, is now focusing on his own art, and showing his fine pottery, ceramic sculpture and functional pieces in galleries in Albany, Troy, and Saratoga.
The Altamont area also boasts a number of well-known painters of oil on canvas and watercolors.
Ed Cowley, a long-time Altamont resident and celebrated artist, who chaired the University at
T.E. Breitenbach will be displaying "Proverbidioms IV: Who Missed the Boat?", a six-foot-wide painting that whimsically brings to life over 200 cliches and sayings. The piece is over six feet wide and has not been exhibited outside of the studio for 16 years.
Laura Provo-Parker (Marshall), an oil painter, has been described by Pablo Helguera of the Guggenheim Museum as among painters "who create abstract spaces of a highly evocative nature."
Paul David Kocsis, formerly of Altamont, is known for his colorful and striking surrealistic and abstract oils.
Loretta Martin, also a former Altamont resident, will feature abstract landscapes.
Mary Ann Brock, Betsy Whitlock and Joan Johnson, watercolorists, often paint together, with Brock known for capturing unique local scenes and buildings, Johnson for her Maine and local settings, and Whitlock for her botanicals.
Melanie Jakway will also be showing a nature study in watercolor, as well as an oil pastel landscape.
The DuBrin family of Altamont has a long history of artistic talent, and a variety of their artistic talents will be on display, including watercolors by Carol, pen-and-ink prints by Jane, copper enamel by Kerry, photography by Robin, sampler and crewel work by Susie, and oil paintings by the late Edwin Sanford and Marie DuBrin.
A medley of other art works will include:
Tom Kryzak's metal sculptures, including pure metals and mixed medium (metals with stone, wood, glass and fabric);
Forest Byrd's political cartoons and illustrations; his prize-winning work appears weekly in The Altamont Enterprise;
Joan Benson's decorative art; she is known for her colorful painting on functional pieces; and
Anne Cartmell and Barbara Quackenbush's art quilts.
Admission to Wines a la Arte is $25 per person and reservations may be made by calling 861-6939. All proceeds will benefit the Altamont Free Library's train station renovation.
Editor's note: Kristin Casey is the development coordinator for the Altamont Free Library.

NASA Has Found The Coldest Place On Earth
We've been dealing with temperatures in the single digits, but that's nothing compared to this…
Temperatures at "Valkyrie Dome" aka "Dome Fuji", on the East Antarctic Plateau, can reach minus 133.6 degrees Fahrenheit. A team of NASA and US Geological Survey scientists have now officially declared this ridge The Coldest Place On Earth.
Read that again, and think about it. Water freezes at 32 degrees. We've had temps that were about 20 degrees below freezing, but still above zero. This place features temperatures that go over one hundred degrees BELOW ZERO.

Just the Facts, Ma'am
When I mocked his reportage from Georgia, some readers protested. They liked his style, even if it invariably put himself front and center. At least it made them feel as if they were there, standing alongside him, they said. But alas for Lévy, Rue89 saw fit to check his facts and found them wanting. Indeed, even Lévy's companions, who were standing alongside him, report that they didn't see what he pretends to have seen. For one thing, they never got inside Gori. For another, the city wasn't burning, even if some fields around it had been set ablaze, perhaps to smoke out snipers. For still another, the shakedown of UN observers by Russian troops at a checkpoint was not something the visitors saw with their own eyes; it was reported to them by Georgian police.
I urge anyone who relies on BHL for information to read the Rue89 piece. Why Le Monde would feature his account as the gospel on the situation in Georgia boggles the mind. The rumor has reached my ears that The New York Times will publish a translation of this piece. If anyone from the Times is reading this, I hope that the editors will read the Rue89 article and reconsider their decision.
5 comments:
If you don't trust BHL, maybe Michael Totten will be able to shed some light on the situation. Right now he, too, has not made it into Gori, but tales of burning are being told by persons who allegedly were there. We'll find out soon enough I suppose.
I don't always agree with Totten, but he at least sticks his nose further into matters than many journalists do.
As for BHL, he wrote that he was outside Gori, so I don't understand the excessive space devoted to that issue. Rue89 obviously has an axe to grind: Marriott a "luxury" hotel (cough); driving an air-conditioned van (snort). Oh well, I would not put my hand in the fire for BHL, but I'd rather have him grandstanding for the right cause than not. I certainly would not read him if I were looking for immaculate journalism. He's better for op-ed.
Also check out Paul Berman's recent article in TNR (subscription).
Sarkozy has acquitted himself well during this bout. He (and, to a lesser extent, Merkel) is giving an example of European leadership that can work with the US and for which the US certainly should be grateful compared to the bitter sniping of past years.

BHL's piece was very ably translated on The Huffington Post, which usually devotes itself to Democratic Party politics of a certain faction. (John Edwards was a bit too hot for them to handle until he became the object of scandal.)
I tried to post a comment on it:
More vaporing from a typical French intellectual celebrity.
BHL's fawning attitude towards Saakashvili, the madman who jumped into this Russian trap, is more extreme than the Washington press corps' attitude towards Reagan. He believes every piece of nonsense he says, no matter how ridiculous. Russian tanks were suddenly massing on the Georgian border? Oh really? Just like that? Doesn't BHL read the newspapers? Georgian forces had just wreaked mayhem on S. Ossetia, killing a bunch of Russian troops in the process.
BHL shows absolutely no curiosity about S. Ossetia. He doesn't even visit the breakaway province or make a token gesture in recognition of its suffering at the hands of Georgian forces. Close your eyes, BHL, and it will go away.
Yes, BHL, we all know that Russia is brutal. But there is more to geopolitics than Russian brutality. Did the Americans play a role in any of this? He only mentions the BTC pipeline to say that the Russkies shot it up. Is there really nothing else to say about what the West is up to in that region?
I also demanded to know what HuffPo was doing publishing such an obvious fraud. It was not posted, although much along these lines, in fact, was.
Thanks for your efforts!

It's no accident that Rue89 chose to fact check BHL's "témoignage," since, as I noted in an earlier comment, previous investigations of his reporting have uncovered similarly important falsifications. The "droits de réponses" of Raphaël Glucksmann and Gilles Hertzog to the Rue89 article are also quite interesting. Both express their outrage at Rue89's low-minded attacks on BHL without contesting the substance of the Rue89 article, and, as the Rue89 responses to their responses reveal, in both cases, there seems to be a gap between the tone of their public declarations (outrage) and their private remarks (friendly encouragement). When the authors of the Rue89 article observe merely that "BHL n'est pas un journaliste," they are being kind; it's a way of letting him off the hook. But a "témoignage" that reports "choses vues" that weren't is a kind of lying. If real journalists are caught making things up in this way, their careers are normally over (the Slate Magazine media critic, Jack Shafer, has argued that Michael Finkel, who was fired from the The New York Times Magazine for inventions that, in my view, are less serious that BHL's, shouldn't have been given a second chance).

Unfortunately, we in France are used to the usual spin of Mr BH levy. It is not only about Georgia! He is not a journalist, but a writer, without discussing his ability and talent. he's also a liar since he does not hesitate to twist the truth in order to fit his view. After 2001, he wanted to give his "expertise" about Afghanistan, saying that he was a close friend of late cdr Massoud, but in fact, he spent a few hours in Afghanistan in the eighties, and just saw the cdr during 5 minutes or so. He invented stories about the death of Daniel Pearl, about Bosnia (same system as for Massoud, he spent a fex hours in Bosnia, then became a specialist)...he is always defending two lines: USA, and Israel. It is amazing to compare his account of Israel bombing of Lebanon two years ago, and the alleged bombing of Georgia this year. He defends money (he is an heir, worthing 150 millions of euros), power in place, and is very influent. But still a liar.

Birmingham, United Kingdom – China's Liu Xiang will face Dayron Robles for the first time since their controversial clash at last year's world championships when they meet in the 60 metres hurdles here on Saturday.
The duo's race, ahead of their expected showdown in the high hurdles final at the London Olympics, promises to be the highlight of the Birmingham Grand Prix at the National Indoor Arena this weekend.
Reigning Olympic 110 metres hurdles champion Robles was first across the line in Daegu in August but was subsequently disqualified for impeding Liu, who eventually took the silver medal.
Liu, the 2004 110m Olympic gold medallist in Athens, insisted he bore Robles no ill will as a result of their clash in South Korea.
"I don't think he did anything wrong in Daegu," Liu told the China Daily.
"Those kind of things always happen in a competitive race. It's normal.
"We are both professionals," the 28-year-old added. "And most importantly, we are friends. We have competed against each other so many times."
Liu, world champion outdoors over the 110m hurdles in 2007 and indoors over 60m in 2008, said he had been training particularly hard.
"This new year I didn't go back home at the Chinese new year on January 23, which was the first time for me," he said. "I stayed with my team-mates, training hard, preparing for the Olympics.
"I will compete in some indoor meets in February before the world indoor in Turkey, where I hope I could gain beautiful memories since this will be one of the most important IAAF competitions before the London Olympics."
Cuba's Robles, the reigning world record holder and world indoor champion after winning in Doha two years ago, was looking forward to testing himself against high-class opposition.
"Birmingham is due to have a good field so it'll be good for me," he said.
"This year is clearly important for me. I'm doing everything I can both in and out of competition to make sure that I'm competing at my best.
"I'm planning to run at the world indoor championships, and of course I want to hold on to the Olympic title. We'll need to see what the other guys bring to the race," the 25-year-old added.
Vivian Cheruiyot, the Kenyan world 5,000m and 10,000m champion, pulled out on Thursday with flu.
Cheruiyot, one of the favourites for gold in London, had been due to run in the 3,000m at the National Indoor Arena.
"I need to take a few days off to recover so I can resume training as soon as possible in this important year," Cheruiyot explained.
There will be plenty of British Olympic hopefuls on show for the home crowd to cheer, including men's world 5,000m champion Mo Farah and Hannah England, who won silver in the women's 1500m in Daegu.
British multi-eventer Jessica Ennis is set to take part in both the 60m hurdles and long jump events ahead of her bid for back-to-back world indoor crowns in Istanbul next month and her gold medal assault on the Olympic Games this summer.
Retaining her world pentathlon title in Turkey would set the 26-year-old up nicely in her bid for Olympic heptathlon gold in London, where she will look to turn the table on Tatyana Chernova, the Russian who took the world outdoor title from her in Daegu.
"There are some really good girls competing in the heptathlon at the moment and any one of them could step up their game at any time," said Ennis.
"But I'm happy with the way I'm training." – Sapa-AFP
