Caring for Homeless Cats in the Florida Keys.

Trap-Neuter-Return is successfully practiced in hundreds of communities and in every landscape and setting. It is exactly what it sounds like: Cats are humanely trapped and taken to a veterinarian to be neutered and vaccinated. After recovery, the cats are returned to their home—their colony—outdoors. Kittens and cats who are friendly and socialized to people may be adopted into homes.
Grounded in science, TNR stops the breeding cycle of cats and therefore improves their lives while preventing reproduction. It is a fact that the removal and killing of outdoor cats that animal control has been pursuing for decades is never ending and futile. Since feral cats are not adoptable, they are killed in pounds and shelters. With a successful program like Trap-Neuter-Return to turn to, it's hard to believe that animal control agencies continue to kill cats, even though that approach has shown zero results.
It is time to put an end to catch and kill. Trap-Neuter-Return provides a life-saving, effective solution for these beautiful, independent cats.

•Feral cats have lived alongside humans for more than 10,000 years. They are the same species as pet cats. Feral cats, also called community or outdoor cats, live in groups called colonies and can thrive in every landscape. They are just as healthy as pet cats, but they are not socialized to humans and are therefore unadoptable.
•Trap-Neuter-Return—a humane approach to managing and caring for feral cats—is the only effective method of stabilizing feral cat colonies. In the last decade, the number of local governments with official policies endorsing TNR for feral cats has increased tenfold, with hundreds of cities and towns successfully carrying out TNR.
•However, in the majority of cities, feral cats are still caught and brought to animal pounds and shelters where they are killed. The shelter system is the number one cause of death for cats in the United States. About 70% of cats who enter shelters are killed there, including virtually 100% of feral cats.
Forgotten Felines is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit cat rescue group in the Middle and Lower Keys, founded in 1997 with the mission of introducing and implementing a TNR (trap / neuter / release) program, helping abandoned and stray felines in need, and assisting low-income residents with food for cat colonies they were feeding.
Ever since Forgotten Felines founded and introduced, the TNR (Trap / Neuter / Release) Program, the homeless and stray population in the Florida Keys has decreased.
A couple of sad facts are that more cats than dogs enter shelters all year round and the euthanization rate at shelters for dogs is 30%, while it is 70% for cats. Also, abandoned and homeless cats not cared for suffer terribly from parasites and diseases, and often die slow and painful deaths.
We are always in need of volunteers to help at our Purrfect Thrift Sore and colony caretakers or colony sponsors.
If you would like to adopt a kitten or cat, please stop by our Purrfect Thrift Sore at 6303 Overseas Highway, or find us at Petfinder.Com
under "Keys Forgotten Felines" to meet our adoptable felines.
Forgotten Felines cannot thank everyone enough for all their help, support, and donations.
If you would like to take a more active role in our wonderful organization as either a volunteer, donor, sponsor or serve as a board member, please submit an application via this website, or call us at 305-743-2520.

Michael Jordan's 'flu game' shoes sell for record $104K at auction
Dec 12, 2013, 9:42 AM EDT
The shoes worn by Michael Jordan in Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals — the legendary "flu game" — have sold for a record price at auction.
The red and black Jordan 12s went for an astonishing $104,765, shattering the previous high paid for a pair of game-worn shoes in any sport.
The shoes, brought to the market by Grey Flannel Auctions and consigned by former Utah Jazz ballboy Preston Truman, were worn by Jordan during Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals in which Jordan scored 38 points for the Chicago Bulls despite laboring up and down the court from feeling sick that day.
The identity of the winning bidder was not immediately made public, but the amount paid blew away the previous record paid for a pair of game-used shoes, which were also worn by Jordan. A collector paid $31,070 just last month for a pair of that Jordan wore in his rookie season.
Truman was able to secure the shoes, after developing a relationship with Jordan, which started when he says he one day fetched Jordan's traditional pregame applesauce during the 1996-97 season.
Truman later told his story from that famous night in greater detail, which included the part about Jordan not having the flu at all, but instead being victimized by a bout of food poisoning.
Jordan's trainer, Tim Grover, said the same thing in his recent book. But that doesn't make Jordan's performance while physically ill any less iconic, thus making the shoes one of the more important pieces of NBA memorabilia.

are they washed, that could effect the sale price, good luck.

a new pair of Air Jordan 12 Taxi is $2-300.00 dollars, better deal.
- asimonetti88 - Dec 12, 2013 at 11:25 AM
With $104,765 you could buy a GT500, load it up with a Naim audio system and still have enough money left over to buy the second most expensive shoes ever.
Or you could buy this one pair.

Kebili — President Moncef Marzouki urged, on Friday in Kebili, Government, civil society, businessmen and political parties to honour their duties in speeding up the development process and guaranteeing the underprivileged regions' right to economic development through project-creations.
Meeting, in Kebili, with the regional executives, civil society representatives and the Revolution martyrs and wounded families, Mr. Marzouki spoke of the need to form a restricted and effective technocratic government, one able to energise the development pace and achieve an "honourable" growth rate which meets the people's expectations.
The President of the Republic also called to achieve a political and social truce and avoid critical situations which, he said, "may strike a fatal blow in some regions, which are still waiting for the arrival of economic promoters and new laws that would gradually break with administrative bureaucracy."
Participants in the meeting raised issues that hamper development in the region, pointing to the Rjim Maatoug solar energy project which has not been completed and the unsettled situation of some farmlands.
They also claimed regularisation of land titles, which is still hindering the achievement of several projects, stressing the need to find the necessary funding to carry them out, as well as solve the water issue in the region.
The attendees also emphasised the necessity to establish a date's office, identify employment and investment opportunities in the region, make the most of farm products and tourism and launch higher vocational training institutes.

Ugandan beach volleyball continued to receive support from the international governing body FIVB in the just ended season.
The support was geared at uplifting the technical and administrative departments of the Beach Volleyball Commission.
FIVB acted after indicating approval for the consistence shown by the commission in running their activities.
The commission, under Uganda Volleyball Federation, ended the season on a high after referee Hannington Nsubuga got international recognition from FIVB.
Nsubuga, the first to reach this level from East Africa, can now officiate at various world engagements including the Olympic Games.
The commission chairman Mofaht Masaba is optimistic Nsubuga's elevation will help the game grow on the domestic stage.
Elsewhere, the Club International championship that attracted players from the East African region, was the only one of it's kind held in the season.
But the Kenya and Rwanda legs of the same competition were not held because of lack of money.
There was an improved level of competition as different winners in both the men's and women's categories of the show emerged.
At different stages of the competitions, top players were shown the exit. They fell as early as the group stages.
The fourth leg of the National Beach Volleyball Circuit was a gripping contest in both the men's and women's categories.
Shilla Omuriwe Buyungo, who paired with Margaret Nambasa, emerged victors in the final with a 2-1 victory. The players' display in this event had those held before saw them finish the season as the joint top seed.
In the men's category, Emma Kato and new partner Dickson Limo outwitted Amon Ainebyona and Isaac Omedo in the final for the title.
The winners eliminated title favourites Dickens Otim and Ambrose Okello in the semi-finals.
However, the lack of funds accounted for failure of the youth and junior national teams to proceed to the next round of African qualifiers for the World Cup.
The teams had advanced to round one. At the same time, a 10-year strategic plan is being worked on.
The Beach Volleyball Commission will launch the plan in the 2013. Masaba said that the plan will spur beach volleyball development.

European review
Real Madrid slip further behind Barca, AC Milan pick up win in Italy and Old Firm reach Scottish League Cup final.
Last Updated: 31/01/11 12:07pm
Real Madrid slipped seven points behind Barcelona in La Liga while leaders AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund both won in Italy and Germany.
Lille secured a narrow victory in Ligue 1 to stay clear of Paris St Germain, PSV Eindhoven and FC Twente picked up three points in Holland while the Old Firm advanced to the Scottish League Cup final.
La Liga
Emmanuel Adebayor made his debut for Real Madrid but he was unable to make an impact off the bench as Los Merengues fell to a disappointing 1-0 defeat at Osasuna.
Barcelona now lead their rivals by seven points at the top of the Primera Division after thrashing Hercules 3-0 on Saturday, Lionel Messi netting a brace and Pedro also on target.
Elsewhere in Spain, Villarreal beat Espanyol 1-0, Athletic Bilbao earned an away triumph at Atletico Madrid while Deportivo and Sevilla played out a thrilling 3-3 draw.
Serie A
AC Milan stay four points clear at the top of Serie A following a 2-0 victory at Catania - the goals coming from Robinho and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
But second-place Napoli remain hot on their heels and they produced a fine display to thrash Sampdoria 4-0 and keep their title hopes alive - Edinson Cavani hitting a hat-trick.
Rock-bottom Bari lost out 2-1 to Cagliari, Juventus went down at home to Udinese and Inter Milan earned a 3-2 win against Palermo.
As the weeks go by Borussia Dortmund move closer and closer to glory in the Bundesliga and they thrashed Wolfsburg 3-0 away from home.
Dortmund are 11 points ahead of Bayer Leverkusen who beat Hannover 2-0 on Friday night.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich secured a 3-1 success on the road at Werder Bremen, St Pauli smashed Cologne 3-0 and bottom side Borussia Monchengladbach won 1-0 at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Hibernian's miserable campaign in Scotland continued as they were comprehensively beaten 3-0 at Dundee United.
Elsewhere in the SPL, Hearts managed a 1-0 success over St Johnstone while Hamilton and Kilmarnock played out a 1-1 stalemate.
In the League Cup, Celtic made it to the final after a 4-1 win over Aberdeen and they will take on Rangers who beat Motherwell 2-1.
Ligue 1
Ligue 1 leaders Lille had to fight hard against local rivals Lens but substitute Vinicius De Melo scored in the second half as they triumphed 1-0.
They stay four points clear of PSG but Les Parisiens nicked a 2-1 win at lowly Arles-Avignon.
Lyon fell 2-1 to Valenciennes, while Sochaux thrashed Rennes 5-1 and Monaco played out a goalless draw with Marseille.
All remains the same at the summit of the Eredivisie as the top five all earned wins, PSV beating Willem II 2-1.
Champions FC Twente are only one point behind them, however, as they overcame Feyenoord 2-1 at home thanks to a late goal from Bryan Ruiz.
AZ Alkmaar thrashed VVV Venlo 6-1, FC Groningen beat Heerenveen 4-1 and ADO Den Haag put five past Excelsior.
Best of the rest
In Turkey, champions Bursaspor secured a 2-0 victory over Galatasaray while Fenerbahce won against Trabzonspor by the same scoreline.
Olympiakos and Panathinaikos both triumphed in Greece, as did Standard Liege and Club Brugge in Belgium.

The Chief of Air Force, Air Marshal Geoff Brown AO, has reminded all Air Force members of the importance of their values and behaviours. Air Marshal Brown explained that the Air Force values are the beginning for cultural change, and they need to be translated into daily behaviours in all workplaces. "Commanders, Managers and Leaders at all levels – from our Leading Aircraftmen and Corporals, our Australian Public Service managers, through to our Force Element Group Commanders and myself – have responsibilities to set the highest standards and take appropriate actions when Air Force members fall short of our standards," Air Marshal Brown said. "I am absolutely committed to shaping Air Force as an organisation of people that have the courage to always do the right thing. Our Air Force is overwhelmingly made up of good people who do the right thing, but those people that display unacceptable values and behaviours are not welcome in our Air Force. "We must all live our values every day, to ensure that our Air Force is one that we can be proud to serve in, at all times," Air Marshal Brown said.

Giuliana and Bill Rancic Say Their Relationship Takes Precedence Over Baby
First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby, right? Giuliana Rancic — who is now in remission after her bout with breast cancer — and husband Bill followed this popular song's mantra all the way, but then, they told Us Weekly, they say they went back to the beginning. Now, they concentrate on themselves first and their 6-month-old baby boy Edward Duke second.
"We're husband and wife, but we're also best friends," the 37-year-old E! News host said, "and it's funny because a lot of people, when they have kids, they put the baby first, and the marriage second. That works for some people. For us, I find, we put our marriage first and our child second, because the best thing we can do for him is have a strong marriage."
We absolutely agree! A happy home makes for a happy baby, and as Hollywood's affinity for celeb divorce continues to grow, we would absolutely freak out if anything happened to this adorable couple.

Peter Beagrie
Football League Expert & Columnist
Mowbray the messiah
Peter Beagrie says a club legend has used the spirit of '86 to revive Middlesbrough's fortunes.
Last Updated: 08/09/11 11:13am
It seems Mowbray is the Middlesbrough messiah.
Tony is an old friend of mine and was best man at my wedding 25 years ago when he was Boro captain.
In fact, I remember one occasion when one of the managers, who shall remain nameless, told me I shouldn't keep his company because he was refusing to sign a new contract. I pointed out that even though he didn't want to sign, he never gave anything less than 100 per cent when he pulled on the red shirt.
He was one of the club's youngest ever captains and, like much of the squad in those days, he was Middlesbrough born and bred. Eventually I left the club because I'd been promised a contract that wasn't forthcoming and while I went on to have success, thankfully so did the club and so did Tony.
He led the club from liquidation back to the top division. Within a few years they had players like Juninho in the team and were playing in European finals! However, they couldn't reach the next level and become a fixture in the top seven and they were relegated in 2009. They've had to cut their cloth accordingly ever since.
Mowbray was always going to return as manager one day. He had great success at Hibernian and West Brom, but didn't have such a happy time at Celtic, his other big passion.
But he's done a remarkable job at the Riverside since returning last season, even though he didn't have as many resources as his predecessor Gordon Strachan. They had a horrendous start to last season, despite a huge wage bill, but Tony transformed them and has them playing in a way the fans like.
More importantly, they are producing results now. After a great finish to last season they're unbeaten in five games this term and sit in fourth in the table. He has balanced the books and injected pace into the team without compromising his football principles.
He's offloaded Didier Digard and Kris Boyd and injected the spirit of '86 into his new-look Middlesbrough. Local youngsters such as Matthew Bates, Tony McMahon and Joe Bennett have been complemented by the versatile Australian Rhys Williams, who is the jewel in their crown right now.
Malaury Martin, who has played in the France youth ranks, is a great acquisition from Blackpool, while Julio Arca is enjoying a second coming at Middlesbrough. Also, the 25-year-old Faris Haroun looks a good box-to-box midfielder and likes to arrive from deep to score goals, as he did against Birmingham.
There's a lot of quality in there, but it is a small squad and they lack numbers, especially in the centre-forward area. Scott McDonald has picked up an injury, which shows why it was so important to hold onto the on-fire Marvin Emnes.
It was rumoured they were chasing Ishmael Miller before he went to Nottingham Forest, but maybe it's good they missed out because he's possibly too similar to Emnes.
It also seems he wouldn't have fit into the new wage structure, which has been implemented for the good of the club's future. As was shown under Strachan's tutelage, you can't guarantee success by throwing money at it.
Everyone was looking at this as a season of stabilisation when Mowbray would have to slash the wage bill, but they've had a terrific start. They have an excellent academy and he isn't afraid to throw young players into the team if he thinks they're ready.
They had a brilliant win at Birmingham, but haven't been totally convincing at home yet. They let a lead slip twice to Portsmouth on the opening day and also drew with Coventry in their last game.
Middlesbrough have very demanding home fans and it's a harsh place to play sometimes, but they do like talent and hard work - principles that Tony's teams always adhere to.
If the supporters are patient I'm sure they'll turn their home form around.
What else we learned this week
Spare a thought for Conrad Logan in the Rotherham goal... he chipped several teeth and will be missing for several weeks with a broken nose. He didn't deserve to be on the losing side against Swindon.
Good news for Leeds fans... Luciano Becchio played and scored in a reserve game and they need him to regain match fitness as soon as possible.
It's a big week for the Blades... A big club with a point to prove, but it's all about getting points on the board and overtaking MK Dons. They travel to Scunthorpe, who beat them twice last year, and then entertain Yorkshire rivals Huddersfield on Tuesday.
The other Sheffield club have a big one too... Wednesday play leaders MK Dons in a key clash on Saturday.
I must mention Jim Bentley... the Morecambe stalwart has made a seamless transition into management. I was with him at Man City and I'll watch his career develop closely.
Crawley may have a bigger squad and budget than Morecambe ... but at the moment there's nothing between them. That'll be a great game in League Two this weekend.
Peter's Picks of the Week
League One Performance: MK Dons
The 3-1 dismantling of Carlisle, never an easy place to go, kept the Dons top of League One in style. Charlie MacDonald managed to get his third in three games too.
League One Game: Stevenage 4-2 Rochdale
This was a six-goal thriller that swung back and forward and Rochdale were never fully out of the game.
League One Player: Chris Beardsley
The player of the week operated in the game of the week and Chris Beardsley gets the nod for his two goals, the second one an absolute cracker.
League Two Game: Swindon 3-2 Rotherham
There's never a dull moment with Paolo Di Canio. After the fracas against Southampton there was no chance of a quiet afternoon. Three goals, two red cards, a melee in the dugout and a row between the managers. The ineffective defensive displays were great for the neutral, as Rotherham lost their 100% record.
League Two Performance: Crawley Town
The league leaders continue to set the pace with a 4-1 win over one of the pre-season favourites, Bristol Rovers, who keep showing their defensive deficiencies.
League Two Player: Tyrone Barnett
He scored twice in Crawley's 4-1 win over Bristol Rovers to take his tally to four goals for the season, all in the league.
Manager of the Month Shortlists
Championship: Gus Poyet (Brighton), Nigel Adkins (Southampton), Nigel Clough (Derby), Tony Mowbray (Middlesbrough)
League One: Karl Robinson (MK Dons), Chris Powell (Charlton), Danny Wilson (Sheff Utd), Les Parry (Tranmere)
League Two: Andy Scott (Rotherham), Jim Bentley (Morecambe), Steve Evans (Crawley), Graham Turner (Shrewsbury)
Player of the Month Shortlists
Championship: Marvin Emnes (Middlesbrough), Luke Steele (Barnsley), Adam Lallana (Southampton), Kevin Phillips (Blackpool)
League One: Steven Quinn (Sheff Utd), Graham Alexander (Preston), Ryan Lowe (Bury, now Sheff Wed) Luke Chadwick (MK Dons)
League Two: Tyrone Barnet (Crawley), Mark Arber (Dagenham & Redbridge), Doug Loft (Port Vale), Izale McLeod (Barnet)

Amy makes the most beautiful suits I have ever seen! The attention she gives to each and every suit is amazing. The service she provided me was awesome she made sure the color of my suit selection was perfect what I liked most about my experience besides having her make my suit was the fact that she cares about her clients and gives u encouragement when u are dieting. I also love that she is at the shows in Indiana to make sure everything is perfect with your suit!
Thanks you Amy for making me a winning suit!! Can't wait to order another one
Stacy Conner NPC Evansville 2010
"I want to share my thoughts on the 5 star
service I continually get from Suits by Amy, and more specifically the
owner and creative driving force behind the company, Amy Ardizzone. I
first contacted Amy 2 years ago and it was the greatest "lucky" find I
have had in all my six years of competing. Amy is outstanding (there
actually isn't a superlative of Amy or her work). Not only is she
dedicated, hardworking, loyal and honest, but she truly cares about the
quality of her work and the satisfaction of her customers. I not only
would recommend Amy to any girl competing, but I use her exclusively. I
always get my suits in time for a fitting before it is stoned, but I get
it in time for the competition (and not the day I am leaving for the
show like some designers). I never have to worry about a fit, design or
cost (for the quality of her work, you can't find a better price out
there) -- Amy takes all the hassle out of selecting and purchasing a
suit. I have now worn seven different suits made by Amy, and I can't
decide which one I like the most, they are all incredible. I haven't
designed a single suit. I always let Amy run free with the design and I
am always so ecstatic at how each one has turned out. However, she
always discusses her plans with me and I have always had the option of
changing the design if I choose (which I have never had to). to put it
very simply, there is no better suit designer or person in the market
besides Amy. You won't be disappointed! "

Obama Seeks $500 Million to Arm Moderate Syrian Forces
June 27 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama asked Congress to approve $500 million to arm and train "moderate" Syrian rebels fighting Bashar al-Assad's regime, as the administration seeks to rein in Sunni extremists whose fight has spilled across the Syrian border into Iraq.
"Appropriately vetted elements of the moderate Syrian armed opposition," would receive the aid through the U.S. Defense Department, National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said in a statement.
The money, for the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, would be part of Obama's $1.5 billion plan for a Regional Stabilization Initiative that also would aid neighboring countries Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey and Iraq.
It was made public yesterday as part of a broader $65.8 billion Overseas Contingency Operations request that the Obama administration submitted to lawmakers to fund wartime spending. It's $19.5 billion less than the placeholder estimate the administration had offered before Obama decided last month how quickly to draw down U.S. combat forces in Afghanistan.
Republican Representative Howard "Buck" McKeon of California, who heads the House Armed Services Committee, said in a statement e-mailed before Obama's request that "Congress is not a rubber stamp," and the funding request would be examined closely.
Fighting Assad
Republican lawmakers have criticized Obama for not moving more quickly to arm the Syrian rebels fighting Assad. The administration has expressed concern that some aid would fall into the hands of extremists such as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL, the Sunni militant group that has seized a swath of Iraq.
Perhaps the most effective weapon the U.S. could provide the Syrian rebels is Stinger missiles that can shoot down aircraft, said Michael Pillsbury, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute in Washington.
"It would have the same kind of dramatic impact it did on the Afghan rebels" who fought the Soviet Union in the 1980's, said Pillsbury, who as a Pentagon official in President Ronald Reagan's administration was responsible for military support of covert action.
Reagan's decision to send hundreds of Stingers to the Afghan Mujahideen in 1986 was the turning point of a decade-long war that finally drove the Soviets out of Afghanistan, said Pillsbury, who was a leading advocate for providing the weapons. "Even the Soviets told us that later," he said.
Psychological Boost
The Stingers provided a psychological boost to the rebels, made a political impact in Moscow, and forced Soviet aircraft to fly at higher altitudes, preventing accurate bombing missions, Pillsbury said.
The proposal Obama sent Congress also includes funds for the noncombat transition in Afghanistan and the creation of two programs he has proposed in recent weeks -- a $5 billion Counterterrorism Partnership Fund and a $1 billion European Reassurance Initiative aimed at responding to Russia's moves in Ukraine.
The regional stabilization fund, including the aid to the moderate opposition, "would help defend the Syrian people, stabilize areas under opposition control, facilitate the provision of essential services, counter terrorist threats, and promote conditions for a negotiated settlement," Hayden said.
ISIL's Threat
"While we continue to believe that there is no military solution to this crisis and that the United States should not put American troops into combat in Syria, this request marks another step toward helping the Syrian people defend themselves against regime attacks, push back against the growing number of extremists like ISIL who find safe haven in the chaos, and take their future into their own hands by enhancing security and stability at local levels," Hayden said.
As the U.S. draws down to 9,800 service members in Afghanistan by early 2015, the new budget request also will provide funding for 336,306 members of the Afghan security forces, the Pentagon's joint service office that counters roadside bombs and coalition support, Pentagon Comptroller Robert Hale said in an interview this week.
The new war request also would provide billions of dollars for the restoration of equipment in transit or still in Afghanistan.

We're broadcasting from Cork today, and we hear how our native and rare red squirrel is thriving at Fermoy golf club. We meet the UCC graduate of zoology who's just been awarded an OBE. And, new research suggests the population of breeding birds on this island could be TEN times its human population - an amazing 62 million!!
Now we always know when we come to Cork that Professor John O'Halloran will have some interesting news for us! He is the Head of the School of Biological, Earth & Environmental Sciences in University College Cork. And today he joins the panel in our Cork studios to tell us about Ireland's first population census for birds, the insects that like to live on our treetops and UCC: the first green flag campus in the world!
For more information about UCC's Green Campus initiative, visit www.ucc.ie/en/build/environment/greencampus.
Now with all the wet weather we've had here recently, especially in the south of the country, we worried how some of our wildlife was doing, in particular, the Dipper, which just happens to be the old Mooney Goes Wild programme logo!
Pat Smiddy has worked on the Dipper Project in Co. Cork, along with Barry O'Mahony, under the watchful eye of Prof. John O'Halloran of U.C.C. for 30 years now and last night, Richard, Eanna, Terry and Derek met up with Pat, Barry and Ph.D. student Dario Fernandez along the banks of the Glashaboy river to find out more...
Ringing a dipper
Weighing a dipper
You could hardly mention the remote island of South Georgia without reference to the great explorer Ernest Shackleton. The Irishman is actually buried on the uninhabitable island in the South Atlantic Ocean. South Georgia is also a haven for wildlife including King Penguins, fur seals and albatross.
Dr. Martin Collins
Dr Martin Collins is a former PHD student at UCC and he's now Chief Executive and Director of Fisheries with the Government of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
And at the start of the year, he was awarded an OBE honour in the 2014 New Year's Honours List in recognition of his outstanding contribution to science and conservation in South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
He joins us on the line today to tell us about his work and research, his time in Cork and his surprise at receiving the award!
We are also joined in studio by Colm Crowley, from RTÉ Cork, who was the Producer and Director of Secrets Of The Irish Landscape, which has just been nominated for a New York Film and Television Award! Congratulations to all involved!

Talking about death and dying is difficult, especially when the subject of discussion
is you or someone you love. But having these conversations can help ensure personal
wishes are honored and avoid additional stress as the end of life nears.
Kokua Mau means "continuous care" in Hawaiian and is the name of a statewide
coalition working to strengthen partnerships and increase awareness to improve end-of-life
care. Formed in 1999 through the Hawai'i Executive Office on Aging, Kokua Mau's
mission is to "ensure that Hawai'i's people may die in the place of their choice,
free of pain and suffering, and treated according to their beliefs and values."
HMSA has provided grant support for Kokua Mau projects and is on its advisory group
with other organizations and individuals concerned about end-of-life issues.
Along with providing direct assistance for people in Hawai'i, Kokua Mau offers its
research, education and outreach resources online. The Kokua Mau web site has guides and information for people
who are terminally ill and their families; health care, hospice and related service
providers; and others interested in the subjects of aging, dying and death.

Campobello, South Carolina
South Carolina Spartanburg County Campobello
Campobello is located in northwestern Spartanburg County. Before the Civil War the land was part of a large plantation owned by Joseph Davis. One day, as visitors were leaving on horseback, they stopped and looked back at the rolling farmland and someone in the group exclaimed, "Campa bella" meaning "beautiful field." Because it was such a fitting description, Davis adopted the Italian phrase as the name for his estate.
A room in Mr. Davis' home was designated as the area post office. The change from Campabella to Campobello probably occurred as a result of a postal clerk's poor handwriting.
Today, Campobello is surrounded by peach and apple orchards, and especially in the Spring when the fruit trees bloom, it is still "Campa bella."
Spartanburg is the largest city near Campobello. Here is a map of the Spartanburg area.

Youville Centre's Founder Receives the Order of Ontario
Youville Centre's Founder, Sister Betty Ann Kinsella, has been named as one of 30 appointees of the Order of Ontario. The ceremony took place on Thursday, January 27, 2011 at Queen's Park in Toronto.
The Order of Ontario is the province's highest honour. It recognizes Ontarians who have made an outstanding contribution to society in Ontario and around the world. Sister Betty Ann Kinsella was invested in the Order of Ontario in recognition of her wonderful work in establishing the Youville Centre, the first charity in Canada to address the need for education, child care, housing and support services for young, single mothers and their children.
We at Youville were happy to support the nomination of Sister Betty Ann for this prestigious recognition. Her vision of programs and services to assist young, single mothers in Ottawa has resulted in the successful founding of our Centre which has enabled hundreds of young mothers to acquire strong parenting skills and achieve high school diplomas.
During its 24 years Youville Centre has met the needs of at-risk clients and continues to provide support for young families. The foresight and wisdom of Sister Betty Ann's original mandate continues to this day as we strive to "motivate, educate and nurture young parents and their children to become self-sufficient, contributing members of society".
Congratulations for this well-deserved honor!

From the Volga to the Mississippi and Back
November 19th, 2011
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
In the period between the American Civil War and the Russian Revolution of 1905, American and Russian travel writers wrote home about their encounters abroad. At first the observations were mostly positive. But as time went on the writings became increasingly hostile. Margarita Marinova (Christopher Newport University), in her new book, says these negative characterizations became the basis for a mutual rhetoric of hate common during the Cold War.
Also featured: Charles Errico (Northern Virginia Community College) is the co-editor of a two-volume anthology of essays by some of America's most eminent historians. He believes that teachers should humanize American history by portraying it through the stories of real people to whom students can relate.

DWI Costs Arkansas OT Oden His Roster Spot
As a result of his second drunk-driving incident in the past year, Arkansas Razorback's offensive tackle Anthony Oden has been dismissed from the team.
On the morning of July 9, he was arrested on numerous (yes, numerous) charges. Take this all in and really digest it before continuing: driving while intoxicated, possession of a controlled substance, driving left of the center line, failing to yield to an emergency vehicle, no proof of ownership, driving on a suspended/revoked driver's license and no driver's license. Quite a rap sheet, and that's only one incident. Last July, he was arrested for driving while intoxicated, which led to a one-game suspension.
Razorbacks' head coach Bobby Petrino clearly wasn't willing to give Oden another chance, as he bid farewell to what appeared to be a promising young talent.
Oden, the younger brother of Greg Oden of the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers, was considered a likely candidate for one of Razorback's starting tackle positions during the 2011 season. Now, however, that won't be too much of an option considering he won't be a part of the team.
According to Petrino, Oden will still be receiving support from the Arkansas athletics department, although it's unclear as to what exactly this "support" involves. I would assume that they'll continue to pay for his academics until he either transfers or finishes school, but again, that's an assumption.
So sad to see a 6'8'', 328 pound mountain of football talent go to waste.

Spinal stenosis (or narrowing) is a common condition that occurs when the small spinal canal, which contains the nerve roots and spinal cord, becomes compressed. This causes a "pinching" of the spinal cord and/or nerve roots, which leads to pain, cramping, weakness or numbness. Depending on where the narrowing takes place, you may feel these symptoms in the lower back and legs, neck, shoulder or arms.
Usually, the narrowing is caused by osteoarthritis, or "wear and tear" arthritis, of the spinal column and discs between the vertebrae (the bones of the back). It may also be caused by a thickening of the ligaments in the back, as well as by a bulging of the discs that separate the vertebrae. Symptoms of spinal stenosis often start slowly and get worse over time. Pain in the legs may become so severe that walking even short distances is unbearable. Frequently, sufferers must sit or lean forward over a grocery cart, countertop or walker to temporarily ease pain.
Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of one or more areas of the spine. This narrowing, which occurs most often in the lower back or neck, can put pressure on the spinal cord or nerves that branch out from the squeezed areas. Typically, a person with this condition complains of severe pain in the legs, calves or lower back when standing or walking. Pain may come on more quickly when walking up or down a hill, a ramp or steps. Usually, it is relieved by sitting down or leaning over.
However, not all patients with spinal narrowing develop symptoms—and we still don't understand why. Because of this, the term "spinal stenosis" actually refers to the symptoms of pain and not to the narrowing itself.
The image above shows the narrowing of the spinal canal.
Some people are born with a small spinal canal. This is called "congenital stenosis". However, spinal narrowing is most often due to age-related changes that take place over time. This is called "acquired
spinal stenosis."
The risk of developing spinal stenosis increases if:
Some medical conditions can cause spinal stenosis. These include:
A rheumatologist will ask about your symptoms and medical history. If he suspects spinal stenosis, he will do a physical exam. Some symptoms he will look for include:
A rheumatologist will also consider other conditions that can cause similar symptoms, such as arthritis of the hips or knees; disorders of the nervous system; or disorders of the heart and blood vessels.
A rheumatologist may also order other tests to confirm the diagnosis and determine the seriousness of your condition.
These include:
Although there is no cure for spinal stenosis, regular exercise, medication and in some cases surgery can provide relief.
Exercise. Regular exercise can help you build and maintain strength in the muscles of your arms and upper legs (the hip adductors and abductors, quadriceps and hamstrings). This will improve your balance, ability to walk, bend and move about, as well as control pain. A physical therapist can show you which exercises are right for you.
Medications. Over-the-counter medications such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (commonly called NSAIDS) such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve, Anaprox), may also relieve pain. In addition, a rheumatologist may prescribe other medications to help with pain and/or muscle spasm.
Cortisone injections. Injections directly into the area around the spinal cord (known as epidural injections) may provide a great deal of temporary, sometimes permanent, relief. These injections are usually given on an outpatient basis in a hospital or clinic setting.
Surgery. Some patients with severe or worsening symptoms (but who are otherwise healthy) may be candidates for a "decompression laminectomy." This surgery removes the bony spurs and buildup of bone in the spinal canal, freeing space for the nerves and spinal cord. Afterwards, doctors often perform a spinal fusion to connect two or more vertebrae and better support for the spine.
Several recent studies have found that surgery produces better results than non-surgical treatment in the short term. However, results vary and, like all surgeries, this one also carries risks. These risks include blood clots in the brain and/or the legs; tears in the tissue around the spinal cord; infection; and injury to the nerve root. While surgery may bring some relief, it will not cure spinal stenosis or osteoarthritis and symptoms may recur.
Spinal stenosis can lead to the slow but steady loss of strength in the legs. The severe pain caused by this condition can be quite disabling, even if you have no muscle weakness, since it greatly affects your ability to work and enjoy life.
There is no cure for this condition but there are steps you can take to feel better. For example:
Spinal stenosis can seriously disrupt a person's life. The rheumatologist is often the one who makes the diagnosis and rules out other forms of rheumatic diseases. He or she will also help patients create a treatment strategy, which may include medications, exercise and physical therapy, or referral for surgical consultation.

What is the purpose behind the Book of James? What was the reason for James writing it? Here is a brief survey or summary of the Book of James.Who was James? The author of the Book of James was likely James, the half-brother of Jesus. Imagine growing up with Jesus and His never doing anything wrong or never sinning. It must have certainly drove Jesus' brothers and sisters a bit crazy. It was only after Jesus death and resurrection that James repented and trusted in Christ. Before he wa … [Read more...]

Up to date position information is available courtesy of 'sailwx/info' taken from our Metrological Observations.
It was March 20th, and very early in the morning. Sparkie Steve was the first to arrive at 05.30am on an early morning flight from Germany. It was only 1 hour later that the rest of the team arrived on a direct flight from England. By 07.00am we were all piling onto the Agent's mini bus on the way to a hotel in downtown Cape Town, for a chance to freshen up, sleep and generally recover from the 12 hour-plus-flight to join the RRS Ernest Shackleton.
The overnight stay in the Cape Town hotel was very necessary, but also allowed for some tourism and evening meals out and about in Cape Town. For some it was a quiet meal in the hotel before bed, and others went out to really sample the place they had last visited in December last year. But with the Halley VI building project due to last for the next 2 or 3 years, there will be plenty of opportunity to become familiar with the delights of this great city in the Southern extremes of Africa.
09.00am the following morning was the time the Agent returned to the hotel to transfer the whole crew back to their 2nd home, and the start of the handover period. Capt.Marshall's crew soon departed to the hotel for a well-earned leave after the rigours of 3-1/2 months down in the Ice of the Antarctic. The off-going crew were to stay in hotel accommodation for a few nights pending their flights back to the UK.
Not so for Mr.Pat, the Radio Officer, whose home is in Cape Town and who was able to see his nearest and dearest as soon as the vessel was tied up and secure in the Port. It was a very short handover indeed that saw Patrick heading off to start his holidays, and I wish him a pleasant leave period, and many thanks for producing some sterling web pages during the Antarctic season.
Handovers completed, and cargo lashings checked and secure, the vessel was ready for sea by the Saturday morning, and at 10.00am, the Port Pilot assisted us to slip away and head off once more to sea.
The weather was blowing from the South East as we departed which meant that for the voyage North, the wind was all from the stern. This produced a very pleasant departure on a gloriously clear and sunny day. A good start to the trip. The Table-Top Mountain nevertheless maintained it's 'table cloth' covering as can be seen in the photograph. We will not be re-acquainted with Table-top again until November this year.
He also asked me to take my time when typing this latest joke, for those readers out there who are slow readers !
Live from the bridge of the Ernest Shackleton, we are proud to present that Master of Mirth and Purveyor of Putrid Jokes, Wavey Davey !
He says, that there was an elderly couple who after years of happy marriage started to fear they were becoming very forgetful. So in anxiety, they took a trip to the Doctor who dismissed their fears and advised them to just 'Write little messages to aid your memories, and you'll be fine'.
Going home, they feel much appeased and the Husband offers his wife a cup of tea.
'No thank you, she says, but I really would like a bowl of ice cream'.
'Okay' says the husband, 'a bowl of Ice cream it is'.
'You'd better write it down' says his wife,
'No, no, it's okay, I'll be able to remember that, ... a bowl of ice cream'.
'Oooh, and can I have some strawberries on top ?' asked his partner.
'Okay' says the husband, 'a bowl of Ice cream with Strawberries on top it is'.
'You'd better write it down' says his wife,
'No, no, it's okay, I'll be able to remember that, ... a bowl of ice cream with strawberries'.
'Oh, and can I have some whipped cream on top of that ?' She asked.
'Okay' says the husband, 'a bowl of Ice cream with Strawberries and cream on top'.
'You'd better write it down' says his wife,
'No, no, it's okay, I'll be able to remember that, ... a bowl of ice cream with strawberries and topped off with fresh cream'.
He toddles off into the kitchen and takes quite a while before he returns with a
tray stacked high with a plate of fried Bacon, Eggs, Sausages, Tomatoes, and Mushrooms.
'Oh no'... said his wife.
'What's wrong ?' asked the perplexed husband ?
'You've forgotten the Toast' she said !
(Well done Davey !).
The crew returned to their duties as if they had never been away. Whilst folks at home think that 4 months leave is an awfully long period for a holiday, I think every man onboard would agree that it hardly seems like we had been away. It takes very little time to be back into the 'swing' of things, with planned maintenance, watch-keeping duties and Charlie-the-Bosun has even gotten back into his regime of exercise in the trimnasium !
Our proposed track to the UK takes the Shackleton North calling at St.Helena, past the Ascension Islands, up to the Canaries and finally home to England and our usual port of Grimsby on the East Coast. No sooner had we departed Cape Town, the temperatures started to creep upwards and we have been blessed with sunshine most of the way. It's great weather for getting all those outdoor jobs completed, and even a first BBQ on the aft deck this last weekend.
But it was only 1 weeks' steaming before the vessel hove into view of our first port of call, - Jamestown, St.Helena.
We had 3 St.Helenians onboard who have been busy all summer down in Antarctica, and now they are returning home for their period of leave. Since the RRS Ernest Shackleton was passing by the island, it was proposed that they should return home on the ship and therefore our crew got to see the island for the very first time - and we were not disappointed.
The Island is small, lush, and very beautiful and brings to mind images of Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Treasure Island' or perhaps more currently, 'Pirates of the Caribbean' ! As the island materialized out of the early morning haze, the weather again was kind and blue skies were very much in evidence as we made our way to the northern coastline of the tiny island where the main town of Jamestown is situated.
We anchored in the bay, welcomed our Agent onboard, and prepared for a most unusual - but pleasant occurrence - an afternoon excursion across the island. Capt.Harper had arranged with the Agent and the Governor of the Island for a mini-bus to convey the crew around the highlights of the island which boasted amongst others - the home of the Emperor Napoleon at the time of his demise in 1821.
To begin with, a motor launch came alongside at around 12.00 noon to take the crew ashore. A skeleton crew including the Chief Officer and 2nd Engineer remained onboard along with some other noble folks who all volunteered to remain at home 'holding the baby'. Someone had to do it, and it's many thanks indeed from the rest of the crew for volunteering to remain behind.
The Motor launch meant that we could all go ashore without having to don the usual amount of paraphernalia that usually goes hand in hand with boat movements. No need for survival suits and full life-saving appliances, and instead we donned some lifejackets for the transfer from the Shackleton to the Jolly boat, and then we set off for the small harbour at James Town.
As we departed, we got a good view under the bows of the National Geographic Ship, the Endeavour, which was also in town for the day. It was an excellent opportunity for a photo shoot as we went by. As soon as we made the shore, there was a mini-bus waiting to transport us all around the island.
The Island/Agent had provided a first class driver/guide who spent all afternoon with us to ensure we missed none of the marvellous sights. He was forthcoming with answers to our questions and was naturally quite knowledgeable about his island.
Topographically, the shoreline of St.Helena is largely steep cliffs and impossible landing sites. James Town was cut into about the only natural valley that worked down to the shoreline, and as we made our way up the small road at the valley-sides, we were again afforded some excellent photo opportunities of the 'layout of the land'
I shall not attempt to summarize the history of St.Helena here, as there is plenty written on the world wide web about the island that was discovered by the Portuguese in 1502. It fell to the colonisation of the English East India Trading Company in the 17th Century right up until the day it became Crown Property in 1834 But as mentioned, there is sufficient written on the web without me explaining it all !
For further reading refer to http://www.btinternet.com/~sa_sa/st_helena/st_helena_history.html
Perhaps St.Helena's largest claim to fame was that the Emperor Napoleon was exiled on the Island by the British and her Allies, after Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo. It was here that Napoleon fell ill and died at the age of 51 and here he was (initially) buried. Part of our tour took in the original grave-site of the Great Emperor as the sign attests.
You may need to 'click' lots because by report, he was not a very large man and could have benefited from a little enlargement ?
But you would never guess his stature from the size of his grave stone. This large, and largely untouched tomb has no engravings and no signs of pomp and ceremony, but is set in the most tranquil and secluded spot of a lonely valley. It took a good few minutes to hike down the lonely track to the single grave, but as a final resting place, there could not have been anything nicer. The flowers - including some indigenous to the island - were in full bloom, and birds and insects noisily singing and buzzing merely added to the tranquillity of the place. Poor Napoleon, I do wonder if he would have preferred eternal rest in that little bit of heaven rather than being exhumed and removed to a final resting place in Paris.
. . . Now this really WOULD be beneficial. Due to the topography of the place, donkey tracks that were once hewn out of the rock have become little more than single track highways with many switch bends and u-turns. The picture out of the front of the bus windshield hardly does justice to the 'zigging' and 'zagging' that the driver had to do as he drove us all over the place and up to 'Longwood' on a high plain of the Island. Longwood was the home of the Emperor whilst he was incarcerated on the Island for 5 years, and Longwood is open for public viewing. We spent a good hour in the museum surroundings of Longwood discovering the last years of Bonaparte, but I could have spent infinitely more time there - if time had allowed. Again it was an ideal spot and you can hardly imagine incarceration there as being anything but pleasant.
A visit to the Governors resident 'Plantation House' also allowed us a stroll around the grounds whilst the Governor Andrew Gurr and His Good Lady Jean, had only that very lunchtime been entertaining our own Captain and Chief Engineer inside. Outside in the grounds we were allowed an introduction to some long-term residents of St.Helena, 'Jonathon the Tortoise' and company. These are the Giant Tortoises presented over the years to successive Governors and the age of the oldest of them is reputed to be in excess of 175 years old.
Finally, we were all deposited on Ladder Hill, so named because it towers over the sleepy hamlet of James Town below and from the fortification above, there is a steep drop ladder of steps all the way to the town below. Famous for the many attempts to speedily ascend the steps to the top, the steps just had to be 'tried out' by some of the crew. Largely we all just descended down towards the town and refreshments, but some hardy folk remained on the bus to travel to the bottom so they could attempt the record ascent and climb UP !. I don't believe any records were broken in the attempt that afternoon, but quite a few muscles were sore in the succeeding days onboard ship as the long descent took it's toll on many a leg !
After a little refreshment and what shopping that the little town of James Town could afford, we all returned to the Shackleton on the 1800 Motor Launch and a very good day was had by all. Unfortunately, the day didn't end there, and the crew had to 'turn to' in order to lift the Anchor, point the ship North and proceed on our way towards Tenerife, the UK, and the North Sea Season.
By way of 'Farewell' we would like to thank the Governor, our Agent, and the People of St.Helena for a marvellous and hopefully, first visit to their Island. They were most welcoming and made a very big impression on all onboard.
'Farewell and see you again soon, St.Helena.'
Forthcoming Events: Continue on the Northern-bound passage to the UK, briefly visiting Tenerife, and doing a program of survey transects off the coast of Africa.
Contributions This Week: Grateful thanks to the Island of St.Helena, and to all the budding photographers who were present on the Crew Tour that day.
Antarctic Diary No.15 may be produced on Sunday 06th April. To be Published on Monday 07th.
