Ramsar COP7 DOC. 13.3
"People and Wetlands: The Vital Link"
7th Meeting of the Conference of the Contracting Parties
to the Convention on Wetlands (Ramsar, Iran, 1971),
San José, Costa Rica, 10-18 May 1999
Ramsar COP7 DOC. 13.3
Agenda item XI: Issues arising from Resolutions and Recommendations of previous meetings of the Conference of the Parties
Issue 3:
Review of the official descriptions, conservation status, and management plans for Ramsar sites, including the situation of particular sites in the territory of specific Contracting Parties
Note - at the time of finalising this document (10 March 1999), the following Contracting Parties had yet to submit National Reports and therefore could not be considered in the preparation of Sections 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Belize (2 sites), Croatia (4 sites), El Salvador (1 site)*, Gabon (3 sites), Guinea-Bissau (1 site), Luxembourg (1 site)* , Madagascar (2 sites)* and Mauritania (2 sites).
* these are new Contracting Parties and were not expected to submit National Reports
1. At the 6th Conference of the Contracting Parties, a number of Resolutions and Recommendations were adopted relating to the official descriptions and management of Ramsar Listed sites. These were:
- Resolution VI.1 on Working definitions for ecological character, guidelines for describing and maintaining the ecological character of listed sites, and guidelines for operation of the Montreux Record;
- Resolution VI.13 on Submission of information on sites designated for the Ramsar List of Wetlands of International Importance;
- Recommendation 6.13 on Guidelines on management planning for Ramsar sites and other wetlands;
- Recommendations 6.17 and 6.17.1-5 on Ramsar sites in the territories of specific Contracting Parties.
2. Further, COP6 adopted a Strategic Plan for the Convention in which the fifth General Objective is devoted to the description and management of Wetlands of International Importance. More specifically within General Objective 5:
- Operational Objective 5.1 considers the maintenance of ecological character at Ramsar sites including the working definition of ecological character adopted in Resolution VI.1, the Montreux Record of sites where changes in ecological character have occurred, are occurring, or are likely to occur, and the application of the Management Guidance Procedure;
- Operational Objective 5.2 considers management planning at Ramsar sites;
- Operational Objective 5.3 insists that Contracting Parties should provide up-to-date and complete Ramsar Information Sheets and maps to describe designated sites.
3. Within this review the actions taken relating to a number of the above since COP6 are described. Based on these findings, a draft COP7 decision, Ramsar COP DOC. 15.12, has been prepared as provided. Note that the follow-up actions taken in response to Resolution VI.1 on the working definitions of ecological character and the change in ecological character have been undertaken by the Scientific and Technical Review Panel (STRP) and are considered in a separate document (Ramsar COP7 DOC. 15.10), which will be presented to Technical Session IV at COP7.
Official descriptions and maps of designated Ramsar sites
4. By Notification 5/1997, dated 9 July 1997, the Ramsar Bureau reminded Contracting Parties that through Resolution VI.13 of COP6 they were asked to submit by 31 December 1997 a map and completed Ramsar Information Sheet (RIS) relating to any listed site for which these had not been submitted previously. In the same Notification Contracting Parties were requested, also in accordance with Resolution VI.13, to review their site descriptions and provide updated site descriptions using the new RIS, for those sites designated prior to 31 December 1990. The deadline for the submission of such updates was 30 June 1998.
5. In a memorandum to all Contracting Parties in June 1998 the matters referred to in these notifications were again brought to the attention of all Administrative Authorities. At the time of finalising this document (10 March 1999), the response to these requests is as indicated in paragraphs 6, 7 and 8 below.
Sites for which Ramsar Information Sheets and maps have yet to be provided
6. At the time of COP6 there were 132 sites in 22 Contracting Parties for which adequate descriptions had not been submitted and 51 sites in 13 Contracting Parties for which a suitable map had not been provided. As of 10 March 1999 there remain 55 sites in 11 Contracting Parties where site descriptions using the approved Ramsar Information Sheet have not been provided and 10 sites in six Contracting Parties where a suitable map is yet to be forthcoming. The details of these are given in Annexes 1 and 2. Note that excluded from both categories referred to here are the former states of the USSR (Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan) which each have one site for which neither RIS or map have been provided. At this time, these are not considered Contracting Parties of the Convention as they have yet to submit instruments of succession.
Sites for which Ramsar Information Sheets in one of the official working languages of the Convention have yet to be provided
7. In addition to the above sites for which no information has been provided, there also remain a number of sites where the official description has not been provided in one of the working languages of the Convention. At the time of COP6 this applied to 71 sites in four Contracting Parties. As of 10 March 1999 this remains the case for 66 sites in three Contracting Parties. Annex 3 provides details of the these Contracting Parties and sites.
Sites for which updated Ramsar Information Sheets have yet to be provided
8. Of the 512 sites designated prior to 31 December 1990, revised information conforming with the new Ramsar Information Sheet format was required from 31 Contracting Parties for a total of 172 sites. As of 10 March 1999 this information had been provided by 19 Contracting Parties for 98 sites. Annex 4 provides the details of where revised information remains outstanding from 12 Contracting Parties for a total of 74 sites.
9. Recommendation
i) That those Contracting Parties referred to in Annexes 1, 2, 3 and 4 of this document be urged to submit, as a matter of urgent priority, adequate site descriptions or maps as appropriate.
Management planning at Ramsar sites
Preparation of Management Plans by Contracting Parties
10. Action 5.2.3 of the Strategic Plan of the Convention states that "by the 8th COP (2002), management plans or other mechanisms" should be "in preparation, or in place, for at least half of the Ramsar sites in each Contracting Party."
11. In the National Reports submitted for COP7, Contracting Parties were asked to indicate their progress with pursuing this goal. As of 10 March 1999, the status of progress with the preparation and implementation of management plans for Ramsar sites on a region by region basis was as shown below. The information provided up to this date indicates that management plans are in place for 168 sites (18%) and plans are being prepared or revised for a further 248 sites (26%). Further, Contracting Parties have advised that for 288 sites (30%) management plans are being implemented.
12. While it may seem an error to suggest that more plans are being implemented than are apparently fully prepared, this reflects, in part, the fact that some plans are being revised and others are being implemented while still undergoing preparation. Also, there are many instances where Ramsar sites fall within larger management areas, or are only partially covered by management plans for adjoining areas. These situations have been included in the statistics for "Plans being implemented" even though the circumstances vary greatly. The same explanation applies for the apparent anomaly shown for "Plans include monitoring" where Contracting Parties have advised that for 358 sites (38%) some form of monitoring regime is in place. It should not be assumed, however, that this suggests 358 sites have a comprehensive monitoring framework as encouraged by the Convention (Article 3.2 and Resolution VI.1). In many cases Contracting Parties have indicated a positive reply to this question when only one or a few suitable parameters are being monitored.
13. Closer examination of the table below indicates some apparent regional differences in the progress with management planning. Most notably, in terms of site management "Plans being prepared (or updated)" there is much activity in Eastern Europe, the Neotropics, North America and Oceania, but noticeably less in Africa, Asia and Western Europe. In terms of "Plans fully prepared" the highest percentages are found in Oceania, North America and the Neotropics, followed by Africa. Note that in this case also many Contracting Parties have included situations where a Ramsar site is partially covered by an existing management plan for an adjoining area, or forms part of a larger management area. Here again, the lowest incidence of fully prepared site plans is found in Western Europe and Asia, both at just 6% of sites. However, when the figures for "Plans being implemented" are examined, a different trend is obvious with Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa lagging behind the other regions.
14. Perhaps the most pleasing finding from this survey are the figures for "Plans include monitoring", which show this being under way at levels from 22% (North America) up to 52% (Neotropics) of sites in the various regions. This is an encouraging sign that Contracting Parties are taking seriously their obligations under Article 3.2 to "arrange to be informed at the earliest opportunity if the ecological character of any wetland in its territory and included in the List has changed, is changing or is likely to change." However, as indicated in paragraph 11 above, it should not be assumed from these figures that comprehensive monitoring frameworks are in place for 358 Ramsar sites, as in many cases Contracting Parties have advised that this monitoring is limited or restricted to only one or a few suitable parameters.
15. For more detailed information on management planning at Ramsar sites presented country by country, refer to the respective Regional Overviews, Ramsar COP7 DOCS. 6-12.

For Asia - four sites in the former USSR have not been included here.
* includes 20 sites in the Asian part of the Russian Federation
(1) includes sites in Greenland (11), and in the dependent territories of three Contracting Parties which are located in other regions
16. Overall, this review of management planning shows that encouraging progress has been made toward achieving the target set by Action 5.2.3 of the Strategic Plan. If it is assumed that all of the plans being prepared and revised at present are finalised within the not too distant future, then this will amount to a total of 416 or 44% of sites for which some form of management plan will be in place. It has to be hoped that the pattern of the present, where there are claimed to be more management plans being implemented than have been finalised, continues into the future. Based on this survey it would seem there may be grounds for COP7 to consider revising the target set in Action 5.2.3 of the Strategic Plan to a higher level as a way to further encourage activities in this very important area of the Conventions work. It is of concern that the extent of management planning in some regions is noticeably less than in others. For these regions it should be a high priority in the next triennium to increase the level of management planning.
17. Recommendations
i.) That COP7 consider reviewing the target for management planning at Ramsar sites, as set by Action 5.2.3 of the Strategic Plan, and setting a more ambitious target.
ii) That Contracting Parties be urged to continue their efforts to prepare and implement management plans for Ramsar sites, and further encouraged to ensure that these include appropriate monitoring regimes.
Review of the Management Planning Guidelines
18. The review of the Conventions Guidelines on Management Planning for Ramsar Sites and Other Wetlands (Resolution 5.7) was undertaken by the Scientific and Technical Review Panel in response to Recommendation 6.13 from COP6. Annex 5 provides a full description of the project and its findings based on two questionnaires sent to all Contracting Parties and other interested organisations in 1997 and 1998.
19. Recommendations
i) Refer to the final section of Annex 5, which provides the overall conclusions and recommendations of this project.
The Montreux Record and Management Guidance Procedures
Status of the Record of Ramsar sites where changes in ecological character have occurred, are occurring, or are likely to occur (the Montreux Record)
20. A summary of the current status of the Montreux Record is provided in Annex 6. This shows that since its inception in 1990, a total of 69 sites from 32 Contracting Parties have been entered into the Record. Note that excluded from this figure are the single sites in three former states of the USSR: Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. These states have yet to become Contracting Parties of the Convention. Of these 69 sites, 11 have been removed from the Montreux Record by the Contracting Parties, leaving, as at the date this document was finalised (10 March 1999), 58 sites. Six sites have been removed from the Montreux Record since COP6; these being sites in Algeria, Bolivia, Germany, Mexico, South Africa and Venezuela.
21. Of the 58 Montreux Record sites as at 10 March 1999, official Management Guidance Procedures (with a formal report submitted by the Bureau to the Administrative Authority) have been completed for 39 sites, and for four of these sites, two MGPs have been done (Islamic Republic of Iran for 2 sites, Tunisia and Uruguay 1 site each). Since COP6 MGPs have been completed for 9 sites (1 in Costa Rica, 1 in Denmark, 1 in Guatemala, 3 in the Islamic Republic of Iran, and 3 in Italy). In addition the Bureau has also visited and provided advice on a number of other sites as indicated in Annex 6. More detailed information on each Montreux Record site is given in Annex 7. Those Contracting Parties with Montreux Record sites were asked to include in their National Reports up-to-date advice on the situation at each. This advice, where provided, has been included in Annex 7.
22. Reference to Annex 7 reveals that a number of Contracting Parties, as stated in their National Reports for COP7, are giving consideration to the removal of sites from the Montreux Record. This is in recognition of positive actions which have been taken, in response to either the recommendations of Management Guidance Procedures, less formal site visits by Bureau personnel, or internal reviews. The Convention should welcome such attention to site management problems by these Contracting Parties and urge them to complete and submit as soon as possible the questionnaire designed for this purpose (Resolution VI.1). At the same time, the advice by some Contracting Parties is that while actions are under way to address management problems, it is premature to consider the removal of these sites from the Montreux Record. The actions of these Contracting Parties should also be acknowledged, and these countries are urged to continue to seeks ways to re-establish the ecological character of these sites. It is of concern that a number of Contracting Parties failed to provide an update on the status of their Montreux Record site(s) through the National Report process. It is hoped that they will be able to do so at the time of COP7.
Promoting application of the Montreux Record as a Convention tool
23. It is evident that there has been a marked slowing down in the entry of sites into the Montreux Record over the past four years; only three sites having been added after 1994, with all others added between 1990 and 1994. It is the view of the Standing Committee and Ramsar Bureau that this reflects the continuing poor image of the Montreux Record as a so-called red or black list of sites. At the time it was established by Recommendations 4.8 and 5.3, the Montreux Record was recognised as a suitable response to the obligations accepted by Contracting Parties through Articles 2.1, 3.1 and 3.2 of the Convention. It was also seen as giving Contracting Parties the option to request expert assistance in addressing management problems through a Management Guidance Procedure. In fact, there have been several "success" stories under the Montreux Record, and there seems to be a need to promote these more widely to assist in creating a more positive perception of this important Ramsar Convention tool.
Renaming the Management Guidance Procedure (MGP)
24. While recognising that the MGP was formerly known as the Monitoring Procedure, the Ramsar Bureau brought to the attention of the 21st meeting of the Standing Committee its view that the name Management Guidance Procedure still does not convey to those unfamiliar with Ramsar jargon what such an action under the Convention is truly about. The phrase "Management Guidance Procedure" is also difficult to express in French and Spanish. The Standing Committee agreed with the view of the Bureau on this matter and is recommending that the Management Guidance Procedure be renamed (for the final time) to Ramsar Advisory Mission.
25. Recommendations
i) That COP7 acknowledge the efforts of Algeria, Bolivia, Germany, Mexico, South Africa and Venezuela, which have undertaken actions resulting in the removal of six sites from the Montreux Record since COP6;
ii) Further, that those Contracting Parties with sites on the Montreux Record, and especially those for which a Management Guidance Procedures has been conducted, be urged to increase their efforts to address the management problems of these sites with a view to the early removal of these sites from the Record;
iii) Also, that those Contracting Parties with Montreux Record sites, and which have failed to provide an update on the current status of these sites as part of their National Reports or other appropriate means, be requested to do so as soon as possible;
iv) That the Ramsar Bureau be requested to promote the "success stories" of the Montreux Record as a way to demonstrate to all Contracting Parties the benefits which accrue from placing sites in the Record; and,
v) That the Management Guidance Procedure be renamed the Ramsar Advisory Mission.
Actions taken pursuant to Recommendation 6.17: Ramsar sites in the territories of specific Contracting Parties
26. In the National Report format for COP7 approved by the Standing Committee, question 5.5 asked that those Contracting Parties specifically referred to in Recommendation 6.17 and Recommendations 6.17.1-5 should provide advice on their actions to address the issues and concerns raised therein. These responses are presented in Annex 8.
27. Recommendations 6.17 and 6.17.1-5 drew attention to site management issues in a large number of countries, 11 of these being related to Montreux Record sites. The information relating to these latter sites is given in Annexes 6 and 7. For the remaining sites, most of the relevant Contracting Parties provided some information on the issues of concern addressed in Recommendations 6.17 and 6.17.1-5. In order of consideration in the Recommendations, and in Annex 8, this relates to issues in the Netherlands, Poland, Russian Federation, Vietnam, Hungary, Chile, South Africa, Bolivia, Peru, Austria, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Bangladesh, France, Germany and Australia. Regrettably, not all of these Contracting Parties provided a response to the issues raised in Recommendation 6.17 as indicated in Annex 8.
28. Recommendations
i) That those Contracting Parties referred to in Recommendations 6.17 and 6.17.1-5 and which did not provide, as part of their National Reports, comprehensive updates on the matters raised in these Recommendations, be urged to do so as soon as possible.
Responses to question 5.3 of the National Report format which asked Contracting Parties to identify those sites where "There has been a change in the ecological character (either positive or negative) at any of your Ramsar sites or is this likely to occur in the near future?"
29. In the National Report format for COP7 approved by the Standing Committee, question 5.3 asked Contracting Parties to identify those sites where "there has been a change in the ecological character (either positive or negative) at any of your Ramsar sites or is this likely to occur in the near future?"
30. From those National Reports submitted at the time of finalising this document (10 March 1999), 35 Contracting Parties had responded to this question by indicating that they had one or more Ramsar sites within their jurisdictions where a change in ecological character had occurred or was likely to occur in the near future. As detailed in Annex 9, these Contracting Parties were Albania, Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Belgium, Bolivia, Botswana, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Comoros, Czech Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Germany, Guinea, Honduras, Hungary, Ireland, Japan, Lithuania, Malta, Mexico, Mongolia, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Peru, Sri Lanka, The Gambia, Togo, United Kingdom, Venezuela and Yugoslavia. Thirty-three of these Contracting Parties identified a total of 110 sites and two (Mexico and Pakistan) referred to all or most of their sites. A summary of this advice is provided in Annex 9; however, in order to gain a full understanding of the threats and management issues concerned, reference to the full National Reports posted on the Ramsar Web site is urged in all cases.
31. A number of the Contracting Parties which provided advice on their so-called "sites of concern" provided extensive and detailed information on the issues and approaches being taken to rectify problems. Notable among these are Australia, Germany, Ireland, Japan and the United Kingdom, and these Contracting Parties deserve commendation for responding so forthrightly to this question in their National Reports. Reference to Annex 9 will also indicate that a large number of Contracting Parties did not give any indication of the actions they are taking to deal with site management problems and threats. While this was not requested by question 5.3 of the National Report format, these Contracting Parties are urged to provide this advice to the Bureau in accordance with Article 3.2 of the Convention.
32. Recommendations
i) That the following Contracting Parties be commended by COP7 for the detailed information they provided relating to management problems, and the responses to these, for a number of their Ramsar sites: Australia, Germany, Ireland, Japan and the United Kingdom;
ii) That those Contracting Parties which have advised through their National Reports for COP7 that changes in ecological character have occurred or are imminent at a Ramsar site (Question 5.3) be urged to consider entering these sites on the Montreux Record as a matter of priority.
Nine annexes follow. Please see the menu at the top of this page.

David Herring and Arthur Hellman on the U.S. Supreme Court and the New Health Care Law
Professors David Herring and Arthur Hellman discussed the constitutional nuts and bolts of a challenge to President Obama's health care overhaul bill that is likely to wind up this year before the U.S. Supreme Court. In a front-page article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Professors Herring and Hellman explained exactly where this landmark legal case fits in relation to the Court's long history of commerce clause jurisprudence. Professor Herring explained that he will be teaching these very issues to first-year law students in Pitt Law's new Lawyering course, and discussed what the students will see when surveying the constitutional landscape. According to Professor Hellman, it is far from clear what the Court will do. "You're talking about all of this case law interpreting the rather sparse language of the Constitution."

Rowling, J. K.
Children's Fiction ROWLING
Summary: This special edition of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire has a gorgeous new cover illustration by Kazu Kibuishi. Inside is the full text of the original novel, with decorations by Mary GrandPré. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the pivotal fourth novel in the seven-part tale of Harry Potter's training as a wizard and his coming of age. Harry wants to get away from the pernicious Dursleys and go to the International Quidditch Cup with Hermione, Ron, and the Weasleys. He wants to dream about Cho Chang, his crush (and maybe do more than dream). He wants to find out about the mysterious event involving two other rival schools of magic, and a competition that hasn't happened for a hundred years. He wants to be a normal, fourteen-year-old wizard. Unfortunately for Harry Potter, he's not normal -- even by wizarding standards. And in this case, different can be deadly.

German culture has had a major influence on the culture of the United States. More Americans (25%) can trace their ancestry to Germany than to any other country. German is closely related to English and 36 other "Germanic" languages, including Afrikaans, Danish, Dutch, Icelandic, Norwegian, Swedish, and Yiddish. Learning German will give you important insights into the history and structure of English, and it will help you learn any of the other Germanic languages.
German speaking countries (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) are among the most popular destinations for American travellers. Knowing some of the basics of the language before you travel will make your stay much more pleasant. Although speakers of German are generally helpful and understanding of language difficulties, not all of them speak English.
German is the most widely spoken language in Europe. More Europeans (approximately 93 million) are native speakers of German than of English, French, Italian (58-60 million each) or Spanish (36 million). German is the second most common language on the internet with 13% of all web sites (compared to 5% or fewer in other languages besides English).
Germany is our largest European trading partner, with more than 750 American firms doing business there. The former German chancellor, Willy Brandt, once said: "If I'm selling to you, I speak your language. If I'm buying, dann müssen Sie Deutsch sprechen (then you have to speak German)."
More than a thousand German companies do business in the U.S., and many have formed strategic partnerships with American firms. Some examples are Siemens, Daimler Chrysler and Bertelsmann (the world's largest publisher, recently merged with Random House and Sony BMG). There are several German-based companies operating in western PA (for example, Bayer Corporation in Pittsburgh). A recent search of an internet site that posts job openings (monster.com) revealed 233 jobs requiring a knowledge of German. The fields are diverse, including marketing, engineering, computer technology, customer service, translation, international business, intelligence, and law enforcement.
German is the language most often recommended or required for academic programs in all fields. For example, no less than 56 programs at the University of California require or recommend German -- far more than any other language. German is particularly valuable for the following fields: chemistry, physics, biology, engineering, psychology, theology, international law, and archeology. Also, since national boundaries are becoming less significant with the prevalence of television and the internet, a knowledge of another language is especially crucial to the field of communications.

We've come across some pretty terrible things on the Internet, but this might just top the list.
There's a website called PotentialProstitutes.com, and this is how it works. Basically, you can submit any woman's picture, phone number and location, and it will label her as a "potential prostitute."
It will post the information without the person's consent.
And, if you want to be removed from the site, it will cost you almost $100!
The founders of the website are anonymous, and the site was registered in October 2012 to a post office box in Stockholm, Sweden.
Attorney Amy Feldman joins "Good Day" to explain the myriad of legal issues the site presents.

ATHENS – The "Gurshall" phenomenon continues to grow.
That is the nickname Georgia receiver Tavarres King coined for the freshman tailback tandem of Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall, combining syllables from their last names to rhyme with the first name of Georgia's greatest tailback — Herschel Walker.
"At first it was just a little thing, but now it's getting big," Gurley said. "I guess everybody knows about it. We just try to come out there and play our game and try to be like nobody else. But it's a cool thing."
Marshall acknowledged "Gurshall" has gotten a lot of attention, especially on social media, "but we try not to focus on that. We try to focus on every day at practice, getting better and not letting that stuff go to your head."
Through five games, the "Gurshall" tandem has accounted for 964 yards rushing and 14 touchdowns — 536 yards and nine touchdowns by Gurley, 428 yards and five touchdowns by Marshall.
And if you're wondering, Walker had 463 yards rushing and five touchdowns in his first five college games back in 1980. He finished that season with an NCAA freshman-record 1,616 yards rushing and finished his three-year UGA career with 5,259.
Gurley and Marshall will get by far their biggest test Saturday against a South Carolina defense that has allowed only 77.6 rushing yards per game and only two rushing touchdowns this season.
"Watching film on them, they are a great defense," Marshall said. "So this should be a good matchup."
Noting that South Carolina ranks No. 2 among SEC teams (behind only Alabama) in scoring defense, Gurley said: "Numbers don't lie."
Lattimore … again
Georgia's defense gets a third attempt at slowing Marcus Lattimore on Saturday and hopes for a lot more success than in the first two.
South Carolina's powerful tailback ran for 358 yards on 64 carries in two previous games against Georgia, 182 on 37 as a freshman and 176 on 27 last season. He returned this season after knee surgery (torn ACL) sidelined him the final six games of last season.
"We played him well last year up until the fourth quarter, and then he had a couple of big runs," Georgia defensive coordinator Todd Grantham said. "We've got to understand that we've got to play four quarters on him. … I've got a lot of respect for him. … He plays that position the way you should play it."
Lattimore is averaging 88 rushing yards per game and 4.8 yards per carry this season. He topped 20 carries in each of South Carolina's first three SEC games and surpassed 100 rushing yards in two of them. He also has caught 16 passes, most on the team.
"I think we just have to gang tackle him," Georgia cornerback Sanders Commings said. "Everybody has to play their assignments, and once one guy gets a hat on him, then two, three and four more just got to bring that guy down."
Georgia announced the kickoff time for its Nov. 17 home game against Georgia Southern: 1:30 p.m. TV arrangements "are still being finalized," the school said. … Aaron Murray's next touchdown pass will tie David Greene's UGA career record of 72. … Michael Bennett's season-ending knee injury hasn't changed Georgia's plan to redshirt freshman receiver Blake Tibbs. … Amarlo Herrera is expected to start at the "Mike" inside linebacker position Saturday. He shifted to that spot after Alec Ogletree's return from suspension last week at the "Mo" position. "He's earned the right to play," Grantham said of Herrera. "We'll stick with it and continue to work it." Michael Gilliard and Christian Robinson also remain in the playing-time mix at inside linebacker.

Great RB tandem, and should be one of best combos ever before they're through.
One caveat, though: They are NOT interchangeable. Marshall is more of a speed back…lots of shake and bake in the open field…and if he gets half a step on the defense, he's GONE. While Gurley…though fast as well…is the better power runner of the two. And they should be used that way, in appropriate situations. Last Saturday…against Tennessee…when we started on the one yard line thanks to a mental mistake on our kickoff return team…we had Marshall as our only tailback because it was his "turn". But in the shadow of your own goalpost, we should have had our power team in. Gurley should have been the running back in that situation. I'm glad that Coach Richt is giving them both some quality carries…but let's use them wisely.
And I sure hate that UGA has…seemingly…just decided to sit Richard Samuel down and not use him anymore. He's been a DGD since he came to campus (as a 5-star running back prospect, ranked as the top RB prospect in the nation by some recruiters). He's a big strong guy, and a good power runner as well. Wish we'd sneak him into the RB mix now and again.

SC should be favored based purely on the way their defense has played. UGA's defense has played well enough to win, but they have not been very impressive to date. UGA must play much better tomorrow on defense. Shaw is a very good passer and an even greater running threat. UGA will have their hands full. Will be by Far the best team UGA has faced. UF is also looking very tough so probably SC, UGA and UF all have at least one loss in conference.

Herschel played against teams that were built to stop the run, and there were no cupcakes back when he played. What Herschel did was truly amazing. He gained 4-5 yards and plowed his way for first downs when everyone in the stadium knew who was getting the ball.
Having said that, these two freshman are phenomenal in their own right. Today's wide-open game makes it impossible for a defense to key on one player, and Georgia's o-line is run blocking great so far, but these guys are taking it to the house given the slightest opportunity. You can give a guy a big hole to run through but you can't teach him how to break tackles and go for 70 yards. These frosh have unreal natural talent.

Reading these comment from UGA funs has been fun. Lattimore is a stud and plays on a great team. He has looked and still looks plenty healthy to me.

By Tom White
Much as Soichiro Honda had done at the end of the Second World War, Ducati sprang to life by making a small bicycle engine to transport war-ravaged Italian citizens. The 1946 Cucciolo (little puppy) engine was sold in a box to be attached to a bicycle. Before WWII, Ducati had produced radio tubes and condensers, but with the Cucciolo's success, Ducati became a motorcycle manufacturer. Ducati's breakout moment was when engineer Fabio Taglioni was hired. Taglioni's big idea was to control valve float by having the valves positively opened and closed without valve springs. Taglioni's Desmodromic system prevented valve float. Valve float can cause both a collision between the piston and valve and valve seal. The Desmodromic system uses dual rocker arms on each valve (one for opening and one for closing the valve). The Ducati 450 R/T was the only motocross bike ever fitted with Desmodromic valves.
In 1969, desert ace Doug McClure won the Baja 500 on a 350cc Desmo Ducati. Following this success, U.S. importer Berliner Motors requested a 450cc off-road version of the 350 TSS being sold in Europe to compete against the popular BSA 441 Victor. The bright yellow 1971 450 R/T (road/trail) was built exclusively for the American market.
Though the engine was powerful, the frame was poorly designed. The engine was too far rearward for the short wheelbase chassis. The Ducati was difficult to turn. With American riders enamored with lightweight two-strokes, the Ducati 450 R/T Desmo would only be imported into America in 1971.
Just a few hundred 450 R/T's were ever sold in America. That would normally make them collector's items, but that said, collectors don't seem to be be interested in them (and vintage motorcycle racers rarely compete on them because of their poor handling). A nicely restored example sells for around $6000.
Though 250cc and 350cc street versions were quite popular in Europe, the 450 R/T was strictly a one-year U.S.-only model.
The fiberglass front and rear fenders are very unique and easily damaged. Same with the front (convex) number plate, fuel tank and side panels. If you're looking for a collector bike, you'll want these items to be in decent or repairable condition.
Most of the engine parts are still available from Ducati dealers?including parts for the complex Desmodromic valve train. Unfortunately, original equipment chassis parts for this unique machine are very hard to find.

The National Weather Service says the deadly tornado that struck near Oklahoma City late last week was another top-of-the-scale EF5 that packed winds reaching 296 mph. The weather service also says the twister's 2.6-mile width is the widest ever recorded.The weather service initially rated the Friday tornado that hit El Reno as an EF3. But the agency upgraded the ranking Tuesday after surveying damage. Eighteen people were killed in the tornado and subsequent flooding in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area.The weather services says the El Reno tornado tops a 2.5-mile wide tornado that hit Hallam, Neb., in
That 296 mph gust came close
to matching the highest wind speed ever measured on Earth. Joshua Wurman,
another leading tornado researcher who runs the Center
for Severe Weather Research, said his team recorded 301 mph winds in a tornado that
struck near Moore, Okla. on May 3, 1999
The update means the Oklahoma City area has seen two of the extremely rare EF5 tornadoes in less than a month. The other hit Moore on May 20, killing 24 people.

Abuse survivor and queer PoC here. I've been called everything under the sun…
And you know what? NOTHING BUT SEXUAL ASSAULT FEELS LIKE SEXUAL ASSAULT. NOTHING. NOT BEING CALLED A RACIAL SLUR, NOT BEING OPPRESSED BY THE PERMEATION OF WHITE PRIVILEGE, NOT BEING *CALLED* ANYTHING. Yes, words DO hurt… but the experience of being emotionally and mentally abused is NOT THE FUCKING SAME as being physically assaulted. If you think that, not only are you a horrible person but you're also buying into the very systems you seem to want to disavow.
That's a horrible conceit to make, and it's even more fucked up that you're trying your damnedest to defend it. IT IS FALSE EQUIVALENCE. You CANNOT use your being part of marginalized group as a coverall for being able to say whatever kind of nonsense you want. YES; EVEN IF YOU ARE A SURVIVOR. ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A SURVIVOR. YOU SHOULD FUCKING KNOW BETTER. There's really no excuse for it.
If you want to be a dismissive and offensive crapsack, keep doing what you're doing. If you actually CARE about being a decent human being, maybe you can stop trying to defend this disgusting idea and STOP COMPARING THINGS THAT AREN'T COMPARABLE. I mean, seriously… What the fuck?
Renamok, a whiteness upholding asshole who felt the need to police me on a post I made about MYSELF, AS AN SA SURVIVOR.
Don't FUCKING come for me, cause I will read you for blood.
1. The fact that you felt the need to insert that you're a PoC shows the ways in which you will use your ethnicity/race to defend whiteness and uphold its tenets, whether voluntarily/consciously or instinctually. You're disgusting right off the bat.
2. PEOPLE OF COLOR ARE SUCH A FUCKING MONOLITH, EVEN TO THEMSELVES, THAT TO CONSIDER THE IDEA THAT I MAY HAVE DIFFERENT FEELINGS AND DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES THAN YOU IS UTTERLY BLASPHEMOUS, UNTHINKABLE EVEN. *YOU'VE BEEN CALLED EVERTHING UNDER THE SUN* AND IT'S SOOOOOO *OBVIOUS* THAT I HAVEN'T, NOTHING HAS EVER FELT LIKE SEXUAL ASSAULT *TO YOU* SO FOR ME TO ASSERT MY FEELINGS ABOUT MYSELF ON MY BLOG, FEELINGS THAT DO NOT ALIGN WITH YOUR PERCEPTION OF YOURSELF AS AN SA SURVIVOR, IS JUST FUCKING RIDICULOUS RIGHT? Like how selfish can you be, how fucking inconsiderate and abhorrent can you be… That I don't get to feel the way I do about my own life if you haven't felt the same way.
3. Are you my fucking twin? Were we raised in the same household? Do you know the extent of my abuse in comparison to yours? Do you know how I've molded myself as an adult? Do you know what triggers me? Do you even know what the original post was in reference to? YEARS of sexual abuse within my own home, memories that came flooding back when a white man verbally assaulted me with his fetishistic nonsense. Fetishistic nonsense that I get on a regular basis, by the way, but today just happened to be the day that I was triggered by his words and decided to make a few posts about it on Tumblr.
4. Nothing feels like sexual assault TO YOU, so my experience and the experiences of SA survivors who agreed with me are automatically invalid. Nevermind that they sent me messages, completely understanding what I was saying, to the point that they themselves were triggered — YOU don't feel sexual assault through words, YOU don't feel the pain and relive the madness through specific sentences and tone inflections, SO FUCK EVERYONE ELSE AND THEIR LIVES. I'M JUST A SHIT PERSON FOR SPEAKING ABOUT MYSELF AND MY LIFE ON MY OWN BLOG. I'M PART OF A SYSTEM I WANT TO DISAVOW BECAUSE I MADE A POST ABOUT THE WAY I INDIVIDUALLY FEEL DURING PARTICULAR INCIDENTS. You seriously came out the fucking cracks and crevices of Tumblr to stan for whiteness upholding policing, you SERIOUSLY stepped up to SUPPORT someone attempting to silence me, but I'M a part of the system? Holy fuck, just how deluded are you cunts.
5. I forgot that white SA survivors and whiteness-upholding PoC get to decide what are and what aren't false equivalences about someone's individual life. You know, regardless of how I've lived and what I genuinely feel, I'm a shit person for making a post about myself because it doesn't align with the standards whiteness has set in place. Even though I was in no way stating that every SA survivor had to feel the same as I do. Hmmm… Okay.
I'M the dismissive crapsack, though the person who reblogged my post admitted that they didn't know I was an SA survivor and misinterpreted what I was saying because of their assumptions. I'M the bad person for not properly representing ALL SA survivors, but rather, expressing my pain as it pertains to my life through a three line post. I'M a crap person though all of you just derailed the original meaning, triggered me, policed me and refused to apologize.
A round of applause.
Bitch just so you know?
Don't come for me.
Now let me feel those tears soaking through your keyboard.

MILWAUKEE (WSAU-Wheeler News) Governor Scott Walker's job approval rating has taken a slight dip according a survey of registered voters. The Marquette University Law School poll released Wednesday shows that 47 percent of voters approve of how the Republican governor is handling his job. The same portion disapprove, and 6 percent are unsure.
A January poll found 51 approved of Walker's job performance.
The poll also asks how voters see Walker as a person. Forty-nine percent see him favorably and 47 percent unfavorably, about the same as in January. The poll interviewed 801 registered votes between March 20 and 23.
The margin of error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

Founded in 1415, this monastery formerly had a school teaching calligraphy and miniature painting. Its church (1530) has extraordinary wall paintings by Toma de la Suceava, in which a distinctive brick-red hue predominates. In this instructive cycle of virtuous scenes, the painter also includes more colloquial elements. On the south façade, note the scenes depicting the Life of St Nicholas and the siege of Constantinople, in which the Byzantine city bears an uncanny resemblance to Suceava.

Are you spreading viruses?
- Details
- Parent Category: Advice - Health and Healing
- Category: Kid Related Health
Hey All,
Thanks for those of you who are posting the Department of Health information about the EV-D68 enterovirus.
Here is more info from the NYC Department of Health about Enteroviruse
With school back in session and classes well underway, kids coming in contact a lot more with each other. It's important we talk and teach them about public health safety.
Regardless of which virus, remember:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Avoid kissing, hugging, and sharing cups or eating utensils with people who are sick.
- Disinfect frequently touched surfaces, such as toys and doorknobs, especially if someone is sick.
- Use the same precautions you would use to prevent the spread of influenza.
Here are some other ways to stop the spread of infection:
- Have kids wash their hands when they come home from school.
- Wash hands after being on the subway, going shopping, or being out and about. Make it a habit to wash when you get home..
- Wash dishes well and don't reuse glasses.
- Remind kids not to share things such as chapstick, towels, razors, toothbrushes, etc.
- Don't pick your nose (and keep your kids from picking theirs – or yours!).
- Clean the "green 11s."
- Keep tissues handy to clean off kid snot before they get it on their hand, to get it on the school banister, etc.
- Cover your mouth (not your hand) with your arm when you sneeze or cough. Teach your kids to do this religiously (have them practice)
- Use safe cooking (and sex!) practices
DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS TO SCHOOL SICK! It doesn't matter if they are in 4th grade and you fell the "but absences matter" pressure — keep them home for everyone's benefit.
Keep the pathways to infection clear to reduce the ability of "bugs" to get in your body.

When the snow falls and our jobs still call, Manhattan sidewalks really stress the "bump" in "bumper-shoot."
Even ambassadors from the drizzly nation that brought the first umbrellas to our shining shores recoil when they see these portable canopies carried along New York's crowded city streets.
But those we found packing umbrellas pleaded self-defense.
Etiquette expert Thomas Farley will excuse umbrella use in wet snow. But for a dry snow, Mr. Manners asks that we all leave our umbrellas at home.
"I think on a night like tonight we're all dodging puddles you need to be looking down and if someone's coming at you with a big umbrella like a prod it's almost like a weapon," he says.
The right to assemble, the right to speak freely and the right to bear umbrellas are all on display on the Upper East Side.

Caleb Linn is seen in this undated photo provided by the Arkansas State Police.(AP Photo/Arkansas State Police)
HARDY, Ark. (AP) — The family of a 4-year-old boy who had been missing since he traveled with his aunt to a cleanup day at an Arkansas Boy Scout camp says search crews have found his body.
Caleb Linn went missing Saturday near the South Fork of the Spring River in the Ozark foothills of northern Arkansas. Searchers in boats and on horseback, foot and four-wheelers scoured the valley for days before his uncle Chris Bruner announced Wednesday that the body had been found.
The South Fork was swollen after recent storms and authorities had feared the boy had somehow slipped into the water near the Kia Kima Scout Reservation.
Searchers used cadaver dogs in their search and also set up a net across the Spring River in an effort to find the boy.

A Sudanese man really did marry a goat.
In 2006, a man named in South Sudan named Charles Tombe was caught having sex with a goat when he was drunk.
As punishment for violating a farmer's livestock, he had to pay for the goat. The local elders of Juba, Sudan decided to have some fun at Tombe's expense.
Since local laws force men to marry girls that they have sex with, they decided to make Tombe pay the farmer a "dowry" and marry the violated goat to restore the goat's honor.
To go along with the joke, they even gave Mr. Tombe's bride a name, "Rosa". Essentially, Tombe's punishment was being forced to buy the goat, and the "marriage" was designed to embarrass him some more.
The story made the local news in South Sudan's Juba Post. Oddly enough, this local Sudanese joke story went viral and found its way onto major news websites all around the world.
The Juba Post's editor was surprised by this, and was concerned that this light-hearted and weird story would end up tarnishing the image of South Sudan internationally.
So, how long did the "marriage" last between Charles and Rosa Tombe? They had a lot of trouble early on: Rosa gave birth to a son and Charles was not the father (obviously).
Then, about 1 year into the marriage, Rosa died trying to eat a plastic bag. Charles Tombe currently takes care of Rosa's son.

Stampede Defenseman Picks University of Nebraska-Omaha
Thursday January 17, 2013
Sioux Fall Stampede defenseman Preston Hodge.
Sioux Falls Stampede defenseman Preston Hodge has committed to play college hockey at the University of Nebraska-Omaha beginning next season.
Hodge has collected 10 points (2g, 8a) and posted a plus-four rating in 13 games since being acquired earlier this season from Dubuque. In just his second game with the Stampede, he netted the game-winning goal in the 3-1 victory over Sioux City on December 9th.
The Stampede are 12-1-0 with Hodge in the lineup and have moved to first place in the Western Conference standings. The 20-year-old from Bloomington, Illinois recently put together a five-game point streak in which he scored one goal and six assists. His 10 points with Sioux Falls equal the total he collected in 50 games last season with the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders, his first season in the USHL.
Five other current USHL players are also committed to the University of Nebraska-Omaha, including Ian Brady (Cedar Rapids RoughRiders), Austin Ortega (Indiana Ice), Jake Randolph (Omaha Lancers), Jake Guentzel (Sioux City Musketeers), and Jake Montgomery (Sioux City Musketeers).
The University of Nebraska-Omaha is a member of the WCHA and has 18 USHL alumni on the roster this season; Bryce Aneloski (Cedar Rapids RoughRiders), Brent Gwidt (Indiana Ice), Brock Montpetit (Waterloo Black Hawks), Johnnie Searfoss (Fargo Force), Alex Simonson (Chicago Steel), Andrej Sustr (Youngstown Phantoms), Tony Turgeon (Waterloo Black Hawks), Ryan Walters (Des Moines Buccaneers), Matt White (Omaha Lancers), Jaycob Megna (Muskegon Lumberjacks), Dominic Zombo (Sioux Falls Stampede), Andrew Schmit (Lincoln/Chicago), Brian O'Rourke (Green Bay Gamblers), Dayn Belfour (Waterloo/Fargo), Brian Cooper (Fargo Force), Nick Seeler (Des Moines/Muskegon), Tanner Lane (Omaha/Fargo), and Aaron Pearce (Waterloo Black Hawks).
In addition, UNO head coach Dean Blais (Fargo Force, 2008-09) and assistant coach Steven Johnson (Lincoln Stars, 1996-2007, Fargo Force, 2009-10) both previously coached in the USHL.
USHL stats – Preston Hodge
Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, the USHL celebrates its 11th season as the nation's only Tier I junior hockey league in 2012-13. With 20 NHL Draft picks on team rosters and over 230 players already committed to NCAA Division I schools this season, the USHL has emerged as the world's foremost producer of junior hockey talent. For more information, visit us on the web at www.USHL.com or visit the League's social media platforms, including Facebook (www.facebook.com/ushlhockey), twitter (www.twitter.com/ushl), and YouTube (www.youtube.com/ushlinteractive). Fans can also watch USHL action all season long, live or on-demand via FASTHockey (ushl.fasthockey.com).
It's not just hockey. It's the USHL.
