We also ensure that at all times we adhere to National Parks and Wildlife Regulations, Marine Parks Regulations and license conditions under the National Parks and Wildlife Act.

Adventure Bay Charters is licensed and operates under the Great White Shark Cage Diving Code of Conduct to promote shark cage diving in South Australia in a professional and responsible manner.
The ECO Certification logo is a globally recognised brand which assists travellers to choose and experience a genuine and authentic tour or attraction that is environmentally, socially and economically sustainable.

The marine area needs to be protected. Guests are given instruction not to remove or touch any marine grasses, rocks etc. We access the area by boat and therefore do not cause any damage to the seafloor.
Our vessel undergoes an annual survey and we have a strict preventative maintenance schedule that ensures that there is no risk of oil leaks, spills etc. Guests are instructed to swim with the Sea Lions and only interact if the Sea Lions approach them.
Interaction on our sea lion tour is guaranteed.
Adventure Bay Charters values the natural environment, where we swim with the Sea Lions is classed as a Natural Reserve and therefore we do not allow guests to access the Australian Sea Lion's breeding area or hall out beach.
However, you will find that as soon as we anchor at 'Seal Cove' the Sea Lions will bound out to greet you and spend the whole hour and a half swimming and entertaining you!
The Sea Lions are wild animals, we do not in any way condone touching these playful creatures but they often come within centimetres of you to say hello.
Adventure Bay Charters has a code of conduct that has been designed for your safety as well as for the safety and protection of these magnificent creatures and their environment. It is agreed by the major operators in South Australia that there are practices with in this code that are important to all activities relating to swimming with Sea Lions. There are also site specific codes relating to Hopkins Island, Blyth Island and Adventure Bay Charters.
Adventure Bay Charters does not visit a specific site more than 3 times a week to minimise the time that people interact with these wild animals. We do not want to alter their behaviour in anyway.

LivePochettino resigns as Saints manager - live updates and reaction
Enable automatic updates every minute? YES NO
- Mauricio Pochettino has resigned as Saints manager
- He has joined Tottenham Hotspur
- The 42-year-old signs five year deal at White Hart Lane
- Pochettino issues an 'open letter' to Saints fans
- He also takes all his backroom staff with him
- Saints have 'already begun' the hunt for a replacement
With that, I'm going to wind the live blog down for the night, although you are more than welcome to continue discussing the fallout of Pochettino's departure in the comments below.
We'll be back tomorrow morning with a new blog focusing on what Saints can do now - as well as what fans and experts have to say on who should be the next boss at St Mary's.
Very sad news about Mauricio Pochettino. My thoughts are with him and his family at this difficult time.— @RealMattLucas 27 May 2014
That's from comedian (and Arsenal fan) Matt Lucas.
That's Mauricio Pochettino's open letter to Saints fans. What do you think of it?
Mauricio Pochettino has asked us to pass on this message following his resignation from #SaintsFC: http://t.co/InOOovprPZ— @SouthamptonFC 27 May 2014
Would like to thank Mauricio For everything he has done for me. Great manager , great guy and has helped me a lot. Wish him all the best 👍— @LukeShaw3 27 May 2014
We all know who Spurs' first signing will be. http://t.co/xWOu20N32q— @NOT_MOTD 27 May 2014
Of course, Pochettino can speak English - it was only in his dealings with broadcast media that he used a translator.
It remains to be seen whether or not Tottenham will allow his to continue this practice, especially following their experiences with Juande Ramos seven years ago.
This is what Mauricio Pochettino said in a statement on the official Spurs website:
"This is a Club with tremendous history and prestige and I am honoured to have been given this opportunity to be its Head Coach.
"There is an abundance of top-class talent at the Club and I am looking forward to starting work with the squad.
"Tottenham Hotspur has a huge following across the world and I have great admiration for the passion the fans show for this team. We are determined to give the supporters the kind of attacking football and success that we are all looking to achieve."
There is no word as to whether or not the statement was via an interpreter.
Always a sense Pochettino saw #saintsfc as a stepping stone to something else. (Suspect he may see Spurs as that too). Shame to see him go.— @gordonsimpson 27 May 2014
Wonder what Glenn Hoddle thinks about it— @archiebland 27 May 2014
This graph shows a breakdown of Mauricio Pochettino's results as Saints manager.
It includes Premier League, League Cup and FA Cup matches ever since he took over in January 2013.
Earlier on today (10.23am) we posted how Pochettino's record at Saints compared to previous manager's the club has had during the Premier League era.
In case you missed it:
It includes all league and cup games, but only during seasons when the club was in the Premier League.
Pahars as next manager anyone??? #SaintsFC— @AlexSFC93 27 May 2014
As well as Pochettino, assistant first team manager Jesús Pérez, first team coach Miguel D'Agostino and first team goalkeeping Coach Toni Jiménez have left St Mary's.
5:54pm Tue 27 May 14
Barkered says
What a joke. If the board are worth anything they need to act quickly....Get a manager who will keep the players.
There we have it - it has finally been confirmed that Mauricio Pochettino has quit Southampton FC to join Tottenham Hotspur.
Chairman Ralph Krueger has released a statement via the club's Twitter account:
#SaintsFC chairman Ralph Krueger has issued the following statement following Mauricio Pochettino's resignation: http://t.co/lbuItdzz6r— @SouthamptonFC 27 May 2014
The Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino as our new Head Coach on a five-year contract.— @SpursOfficial 27 May 2014
#SaintsFC has today accepted the resignation of First Team Manager Mauricio Pochettino ahead of his appointment by @SpursOfficial.— @SouthamptonFC 27 May 2014
And as far as I'm concerned, no statement from Pochettino will repair the situation. He's been great for us, but disrespectful. #SaintsFC— @danbsfc 27 May 2014
Lets face it MP could have signed a new contract weeks ago. He has led us along suggesting he would. Then bang off he goes.— @upthesaints 27 May 2014
Maybe it's taking so long cos spurs have sacked him already #saintsfc— @mattcw0410 27 May 2014
Whilst we wait the official announcement, it's worth reiterating that Saints did indeed offer Pochettino a bumper contract following the Manchester United match at the end of the season.
For whatever reason, he decided to not sign it, but Spurs' interest in him has been known for some time.
#saintsfc http://t.co/tBmQ6xOtYs— @LewisTull 27 May 2014
There will also be a message from Pochettino to Saints fans, it is understood.
If Pochettino's contract at Spurs is for five years, the last Tottenham manager to have the reigns for that long was Keith Burkinshaw, who was in charge between 1976 and 1984.
It looks as if Pochettino has signed a five year deal at White Hart Lane, although that has yet to be confirmed officially.
The Daily Echo's sport reporters are getting word that an announcement is imminent about the the future of Mauricio Pochettino.
Create your own Southampton Transfer Rumour with these Dice #saintsfc http://t.co/DHrbNpAROt— @SadGoalkeepers 26 May 2014
It's beginning to look as if a deal has been done, although neither Saints nor Spurs are commenting officially.
A number of reports are swirling around now that Pochettino has signed a deal with Tottenham.
If that is the case, it is now just a matter of awaiting official confirmation from White Hart Lane and St Mary's.
As well as the list of votes below (see post from 3.27pm), Saints fans have named a number of leftfield suggestions.
These include:
- Claudio Ranieri
- Oscar Garcia
- Roy Hodgson
- Gordon Strachan
- Rafa Benitez
- Kevin Keegan
- Roberto Mancini
Obviously some Saints fans are prefering to be optimistic in what the future may hold for the club.
@SamMckinnon1 @liamje28 not at all. Theres other managers around who might do an even better job— @mattletiss7 27 May 2014

Rockhopper says
No chance this shambles would have been allowed to happen under Cortese.
3:50pm Tue 27 May 14
oil_beef_hooked says
It will be probable that the Saints' board will issue a statement once the future of MP is settled
The latest is that some sort of compensation is being worked out, between us and Spurs
The reason/s why he wanted to leave, well we can all assume at this time
To my mind, he wanted Champions League football and that he had taken us as far as he could
It was reported that we had offered him excellent personal terms, but ultimately could not give what he really wanted
since 1973 #saintsfc have had 24 managers and #thfc have had 25 managers— @Bridgey1982 27 May 2014
Here are the latest votes from Saints fans about who they would like to see as the next boss at St Mary's - provided Pochettino leaves, of course.
2:23pm Tue 27 May 14
BracknellSaint says
So, how exactly can the club just continue to sit there in silence?
It's like a bust up with a girlfriend-and if one of you can't stand up,and speak out to try and save it, then it means it's over, as you clearly don't care enough to try and make it work. So, why isn't the board fighting the Cortese/Daily Mail/ Spurs media campaign hammer and tongs ? Why not shout out loud that we refuse to accept? Or are they being Pu$$ies and allowing themselves to be run over??
To provide an idea of what will be expected of Pochettino at Tottenham, here are his league stats for the 2013/14 season, compared to those of outgoing Spurs boss, Tim Sherwood.
Away from Pochettino for a moment, here is Roy Hodgson talking though tactcs with Saints' Rickie Lambert and fellow England World Cup strikers Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck and Danie Sturridge.
Saints' legend Francis Benali has been on TalkSport talking about the Pochettino situation.
He said: "I wouldn't like him to go, full stop, to be honest. But I've said already that I would have liked not to be talking about this situation at this point of the season, or close season.
"His position should have been sorted out before now, and it would have quelled a lot of the rumours.
"But, if he wants to leave, and it's the same with players, if anyone wants to move on I would rather they go, and just have a squad of players that want to be at Southampton."
On who he'd like to see replace Poch, Benali said: "Someone like (David) Moyes or (Michael) Laudrup. If he does go, anybody who can take the club forward."
If Poch goes, I think we should appoint a caretaker until Poch becomes available again in September #saintsfc— @DanReardon76 27 May 2014
Nathaniel Clyne has said it would be "a real shame" if Pochettino leaves Saints.
Clyne said: "He has been so different to any other manager. He planted it into our heads that even if we were up against bigger teams and bigger players, we could compete at the same level as them.
"He taught us never to fear them or be intimidated just because of their big names or their big reputations.
"He'd have us pressing high, keeping a high line, receiving the ball in difficult situations, keeping possession and basically having the confidence to play football rather than being afraid.
"The understanding in our defence was down to our training. We worked really hard on our fitness and our intensity and it showed in the games.
"For me personally it took my game to another level. It would be a real shame if we were to lose him."

"@liamje28: @mattletiss7 you think pochettino will do a good job at spurs mate?" He'll need to #top4orsack #grassnotalwaysgreener— @mattletiss7 27 May 2014
As you can see from our latest post, we're running a poll among our Twitter followers on who they want to replace Pochettino.
Here are the latest results, showing each manager who has had more than one vote.
You can add your vote by tweeting the manager's name to @the_saints or adding a comment below.
We'll publish updates in the voting as the day goes on.
If Pochettino does leave, who do you want to replace him? Tell us and we'll put together a chart of who #saintsfc fans want.— @the_saints 27 May 2014
Players and Managers will go, but fans are forever! #saintsfc— @jamie_benjamin1 27 May 2014
Pochettino can not expect any extra cash windfall if he joins Spurs following the exploits of former Saints and Tottenham star Gareth Bale at the weekend.
It has been reported that Spurs did not include any clauses in the world record £86m deal that took the Welshman to Real Madrid, meaning the North London club will not be getting a cash bonus after the Spanish giants won their tenth Champions League/European Cup.
Not too fussed who the manager is/will be! As long as they get to Europe! And I get to go on European way days! #saintsfc— @DanFroudSFC 27 May 2014

Saint Jinx says
I am suddenly feeling positive. Poch moves to Spurs and takes them down.
Our players have such a fantastic world cup that de Boor comes aboard. No player leaves and we snap up some of the other international world cup stars. We win the League Cup, FA Cup and League and we are in the Chmpions league the season after. COYR
In other Saints news, Adam Lallana has spoken about his future.
Speaking on behalf of Vauxhall, the England team sponsor, Lallana said: "Whether my future gets sorted before or after the World Cup makes no difference to me.
"I am just fully focused on doing well for England and performing as well as I can."
You can read the full article here.
I still can't get my head round it though...... Spurs? Poch seems like the guy to cheat on his 8/10 with a 6/10 while drunk #SaintsFC— @MourinhOmar 27 May 2014
Of course, this isn't the first time Spurs have come in and gone for a Saints boss.
During the final season at The Dell, Glenn Hoddle was quietly transforming the club from perinnial relegation battlers to a sold mid-table outfit, after the club had given him his chance back after a disasterous end to his reign as England boss.
However, the lure of his spiritual home proved too strong when the North London side came calling - much to the ire of then chairman Rupert Lowe, who famously described the board at White Hart Lane as a 'bunch of North London Yobbos".
Rupert Lowe, with Glenn Hoddle and John Gorman
Despite this, Hoddle left in March 2001 after little more than a year at The Dell and was replaced by Stuart Gray.
Hoddle returned to by Dean Richards for £8.1m, but ultimately Saints fans had the last laugh, when a 3-1 win at White Hart Lane ended Hoddle's tenure as manager at Spurs.
I don't think Pochettino is the right man for the job, nevertheless il get behind any new manager that comes in 100 percent. #THFC #Spurs— @DavidMcCormack7 27 May 2014
Why cant we have a proven experience manager. All this pochettino talk. Im not so sure.. #coys #thfc— @Phooey_uk 27 May 2014
RT @TalkingTHFC: I've seen people say they don't want Pochettino because he was beaten by Sherwood, twice. 🙈🙈 #THFC— @Chendley777 27 May 2014
The win ratio of Mauricio Pochettino compared with that of the 10 previous Southampton FC Premier League managers.
Includes league and cup matches, but only during Premier League seasons.

redandy10 says
DeBoer WON'T come here. He's got Champions League football to look forward to, he AIN'T leaving Ajax.
With Moyes there is a possibility, if we lose some players it will be seen as a bit of a challenge. Considering he's looking for a bit of redemption it might appeal to him. He didn't do too bad at Everton and might be the best qualified of the bunch. Hoddle came here after falling from grace, for different reasons, but tactically he was as good as I've seen at the club and he did a good job while he was here.
McClaren..... Thanks, but NO THANKS!
Poyet, not a patch on Poch.
I miss the days when the #saintsfc hashing was full of "why fox?" and "wheres Forren?" #saintsfc— @ChrisIngram96 27 May 2014

smuggins says
Get De Boer that would really be one in the eye for the majority of Spurs fans who wanted him not Poch.
These are some of the names being touted by the bookies about who will replace Pochettino at St Mary's, should he go. Odds correct as of 9.23am.
- Gus Poyet 5-1
- Dan Petrescu, Neil Lennon 6 -1
- Malky Mackay, Tim Sherwood, Roberto Di Matteo 7-1
- Alan Pardew, Rafa Benitez 8-1
- Andres Villas-Boas, Paco Jemez 10-1
- Paco Jemez 10-1
- David Moyes, Murat Yakin, Eddie Howe 12-1
- Michael Laudrup 14-1
- Oscar Garcia, Marcelo Biela 16-1
- Christian Gross, Uwe Rosler 20-1
- Steve McClaren 24-1
- Glenn Hoddle, Guus Hiddink 25-1

Season-H-Warsash says
Okay, so he wants to go. If he ain't committed to Saints I'd rather have someone who is.
For their part, Saints offered Pochettino a bumper new deal when the season ended, in an attempt to secure his services beyond the 12 months on his contract that still remain.
Pochettino stalled on signing that deal and regularly dodged questions about the situation, refering journalists via his interpreter to the fact he was 'not worried' about the situation due to his remaining contract.
Woke up to hear Pochettino 1/10 for the Spurs job, I wept into my Sausage & Egg McMuffin #Saintsfc— @sijlaw 27 May 2014
However, the deal is not yet done.
Do you think Poch leaving St Mary's is ineveitable?
SAINTS fans are this morning facing up to the very real possibility of losing their manager to Tottenham.
The White Hart Lane outfit are in negotitations with the Argentinian to replace Tim Sherwood who they sacked at the end of the season.

Loaded chain email No. 9 reader favorite of 2012
By W. Gardner Selby
Published on Wednesday, December 19th, 2012 at 6:00 a.m.
A chain email forwarded to us by a reader suggested the U.S. Department of Homeland Security had mysteriously "executed an order for enough rounds of .40-caliber ammunition to kill every man, woman and child in the United States."
We confirmed that Homeland Security contracted to buy up to 450 million .40-caliber bullets--a total indeed exceeding the nation's population.
Significantly, though, the purchase contract covered five years; there was no indication the agency was piling up the bullets in a hurry. The size of the contract was explained as enabling the government to buy in bulk to save money on ammunition routinely used for training officers from a variety of agencies. The email, which had an element of truth, rated Mostly False.
You can read the full fact-check to the right along with our No. 10 reader favorite, a review of Ron Paul's flawed claim about the number of measures passed into law in 2011.
Look for our No. 8 reader favorite tomorrow.

We hear the stories of many fellow comrades who have fallen foul to that 'vampiric' institution of unpaid internships which appears to sap the elixir of life from aspirational go-getters. These people have watched The Devil Wears Prada one time too many. There's a whole corner of the internet dedicated to sharing these exaggerated cosmopolitan horror stories.
If there's one thing that never goes out of fashion, it's giving to a good cause. No wonder then that this autumn, designers from Paris to Milan, London to New York, have rolled up their sleeves to prove that not only has philanthropy never been so fashionable but that designer collaborations can have style and substance.
Technology has provided a new medium for labels, from heritage brands to avant-garde innovators, to explore and express their identity and style, and to take the stories, ideas and icons who that provided their foundation forwards into a new digital dimension. We take a look at the brands which are doing it best, through a few of the technological treats on offer.
Historically, the term luxury has always been a standard of quality, a mark of authenticity and shielded by a veil of exclusivity. But now the term is increasingly being owned by high street brands looking to squeeze a few more pennies via some nice packaging, leading to this dearth of 'luxury' options.
I was first bitten by the vintage bug in 1983, borrowing my grandma's 60s kitten heeled sling backs - they had toes so pointed you could have impaled anyone you kicked. I carefully borrowed a few of grannie's pieces - mostly shoes, jewellery and handbags to add to my puff ball skirts, explosive hair and wrist to elbow silver slave bangles.

WRIGHTSTOWN, WI (WTAQ) - Wrightstown Police have received crisis situation plans from the Wrightstown Community School District after intervention from the Village Board.
Concerns were raised last week about student safety and a lack of cooperation from the district during a Village Board meeting.
Superintendent Carla Buboltz and the district have trust issues with Police Chief Perry Kingsbury concerning student confidentially over past incidents.
A handful of Village Board members met with BuBoltz Tuesday where she aired out grievances the district has.
The next day, Wrightstown police received crisis situation plans.
The district also submitted plans to Brown County SWAT last week after WTAQ reported that the SWAT Commander had not received the plans after months of requests.

pool, staff, location
dirty carpets, breakfast at denny,s very limited
Everyone was so nice. The room was so nice and clean and roomy. Everything was perfect. I will definitely stay there again. The food at the restaurant was excellent. Loved the indoor pool
The rooms were good for what you paid for.They were clean. I would stay there again.
the wifi was terrible. The rooms were a little small.
+ we had some some issues with the AC ... less than 1 hour, the AC was repared. + awesome price/quality
- at the office more than 15 minutes for waiting to registration
Tasty food , clean room , excellent location
Economic place to stay. Good swimming pool.
If breakast is included, I can't understand why you have to pay for a glass of milk or an orange juice.... I missed a microwave as in all the Days Inn Motels I have stayed all around USA.
Almost everything is good but few things to highlight .
There should be some free shuttle rides to Vegas strips for people staying in your hotel. Security could be more improved. Plus there should be some more variety on complimentary breakfast.
Kind size beds and clean rooms.
The breakfast was included but there were always the same three choices at breakfast in Dennys Restaurant available without additional payment!
friendly staff, small casino, nice pool, good security, not for the partying crowd, family oriented
place is older and is being renovated, and needs it!
Heerlijk ontbijt bij Denny's
afstand naar the strip is niet te belopen
Breakfast is good
Fair price, good location
Pool ..clean
Location...inconvenient if without a car...
Free breakfasts at Denny's, the location is great
Air conditioning was poor and when we turned it off suddenly a smoke detector went off. Thankfully, we weren't charged for that. Room service is $6 per day and it's definitely worth less
Love it. Great location. It's near the strip (10 min walk). Big rooms with air conditioning, private bathroom, a pool. And you can have something to eat at Denny's. Very cheap.
It has Wifi but not all the rooms get it.
Check-in a bit slow next to slot machines with bed smell of cigarettes smoke.
Bed. Nice people
A lot of bums hanging around didn't feel that safe
comfortable bed and bedding-happy there is no bedspread- the comforter and white duvet is very comforting because I know they have to change it with every change of guests unlike the bedcover/bedspread that is never washed.The reception desk staff is bland- not extra helpful but not rude. Convenient to stay as not too far from airport so good jump off point-taxi fare is $17-20.. coming or going.Free coffee at the bar.
cigarette smoke in the casino is normal but the Denny's is inside the casino so the only way in is to walk into the casino. No wait area except for a bench by the reception desk-so waiting for a taxi means you inhale all that smoke in the casino.
i loved that it was close to the strip took a taxi to the cosmo, visited a few friends!
the ice machine was not close to our room and no refrigerator
The motel has a nice pool area. A complementary breakfast is provided at the Danny's restaurant inside the casino of the Motel.
The fact that drinks are not included in the breakfast. This makes the breakfast semi-complementary.
Price, swimming pool, fridge
The food was good even though they only give you 3 options but was great breakfast from Dennys. The location was pretty close to las vegas strip and the beds were super comfortable.
I have a 2 years baby boy and they put me in a room that smelled a lot like cigarettes they only had 2 towels in the bathroom and the toilet and tub were really dirty..
The bed was very comfortable. New curtains in the room.
The gambling hall is very much for local residents ( although hotel does give you credit ) The breakfast is from a limited menu ( but is ample) The walk to the strip was not very safe.
Lots of parking and a walk away to the strip.
Unfriendly staff, they make you feel unwelcome, suspiciuos and cheap.
The swimming pool From here to the strip is about 10 minutes walking With compliments to the helpful receptionist Dave.
The breakfast is too heavy. Pancakes, eggs, ...., The rooms are small, but that is something you know beforehand. It is part of the deal (not expensive). And after all, you only need your room to sleep.

Washington's 100-Degree Day of Contempt, Constitutionality & the Rule of Law
Gwen's Take
I can say quite honestly that Thursday was among the most dramatic days I've ever seen unfold in Washington.
Understanding that I was too young to witness the Kennedy funeral or the Nixon resignation firsthand, watching the Supreme Court uphold a sweeping health care law hours before the House of Representatives voted to find an attorney general in contempt of Congress -- for the first time ever--- was riveting.
Justice Kagan--Giving Liberals a Rhetorical Lift
On The Radar
During three days of arguments over the Obama healthcare plan, Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan put on a display of rhetorical firepower, reinforcing predictions that the newest liberal justice is best equipped to take on the conservative, five-man majority controlling the bench.
Judge Pokes Obama Over Court Comment
On The Radar
It seems President Barack Obama's challenge to the Supreme Court–in which he said overturning his health-care law would amount to an "unprecedented, extraordinary step"–is not going over well in certain conservative judicial quarters. On Tuesday, a three-judge panel in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ordered the Justice Department to explain whether courts indeed have the right to strike down a federal law.
Obama: Supreme Court Will Uphold Health Law
On The Radar
If the Supreme Court rejects all or part of the 2010 health reform law, the majority of justices will have heeded their political analyses and not their interpretations of the Constitution and legal precedent, President Obama suggested Monday. Five times the president described himself as "confident" or "pretty confident" that the court will uphold the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act this summer.
March 30, 2012
Weekly Show
The Supreme Court heard three days of arguments on the 2010 Affordable Care Act. What were the key issues before the court? Plus, a mic catches a private comment between President Obama and Russian President Medvedev. Also, Mitt Romney's latest endorsements and the GOP race. Joining Gwen: Joan Biskupic, Reuters; Pete Williams, NBC News; Jeff Zeleny, New York Times; Julianna Goldman, Bloomberg News
On Health Care, are Republicans Ready for Victory?
On The Radar
Three days of oral arguments at the Supreme Court have given Republicans reason for optimism that President Obama's health-care law could be heading for a legal defeat in a few months. But would such a victory for the GOP this summer mean political success for the party in November and beyond?
Tea Leaf Reading at Its Best: Eavesdropping on the Supreme Court
Gwen's Take
Updated 3/30/12 12:24pm
Because the courts remain the only branch of the federal government that still stubbornly bans cameras from proceedings, we rely on audiotapes released later in the day to hear history unfold. It's there where those of us who don't get into the room get to listen for cadence, eloquence, and even humor.
Obama Lawyer Asks Supreme Court to Save Healthcare Law
On The Radar
The Obama administration's top courtroom lawyer made an impassioned plea on Wednesday for the Supreme Court to save President Barack Obama's healthcare law, capping three days of historic arguments that left it unclear how the nine justices would rule. Having peppered lawyers for and against the law with questions for more than six hours over the three days, the justices withdrew to their chambers to begin up to three months of deliberation expected to yield a decision by late June.

... Then it's time for a Colonoscopy
Notable Americans who have suffered from colon cancer include President Ronald Reagan and singer/actress Eartha Kitt. The next colon cancer victim could be anyone, according to Dr. Chad Lewis, Colon & Rectal Surgeon at Minden Medical Center.
"Colon cancer continues to be the third leading cancer killer for both men and women combined in the United States, even though it is 90 percent preventable and 90 percent treatable when detected early," said Dr. Lewis.Subscribe to Read!

Faculty Christian Wulffen | Lane Cooper
This course will investigate the means by which various systems of drawing and representation function as methods of communication. How do historical, cultural and social contexts frame an artistÕs ability to send messages through their work? And, like in a game of telephone, in any system of communication it is inevitable that potential problems may occur- misunderstandings, errors, and falsehoods. Can these absorbed into the content of the work? Illusionistic, abstract, allegorical, diagrammatic, mathematical and idiosyncratic systems of drawing and representation will be investigated through this course, through studio practice, readings, critique and in-class discussion. Required of all Junior Drawing Majors.

For the AJC
Here's a look at how our Top 5's did Friday night.
1. Wilcox County beat Dooly County 28-14. In a game that was tightly contested, the difference was the Patriot duo of quarterback Mikail Grace and receiver Jonathan Howard. Grace was 22-of-35 for 319 yards, though he did throw two interceptions. Grace also ran for 29 yards and a touchdown. All but seven of his completions were to Howard, who caught 15 balls for 225 yards and two touchdowns, one of 17 yards and a 71-yarder in the fourth quarter that broke a 14-14 tie. Calling Paul Johnson and the Georgia Tech staff. Hello! Is anybody home? Is this thing on? The Patriot defense was solid as well, shutting out Dooly in the second half. The secondary, also led by Grace and Howard, held the Bobcats to just 11 yards passing. Wilcox moves to 2-1 and is off next week. (Note: Stats courtesy of the Macon Telegraph.)
2. Wilkinson County (1-1, No. 4 overall) was off this week. The Warriors will host Irwin County (1-2) on Friday.
3. Marion County (2-0, No. 7 overall) was off this week. The Eagles travel to Miller County (2-1) on Friday.
4. Dooly County lost to Wilcox County, 28-14. The Bobcats fell behind 14-0 early but rallied to tie the score at 14-14 by halftime after touchdown runs by Mark Clark (2 yards) and Chanin Hamilton (74), who finished with 105 yards on seven carries. The Bobcats 2-1, No. 8 overall, may fall out of the Top 10. The Bobcats are off next week.
5. Lincoln County beat Ninety-Six, S.C., 41-21. The Red Devils led 24-0 at the half and were never pushed by the AA school from South Carolina. Junior Mike McIntyre had touchdown runs of three and 53 yards and Lakeith Lockhard returned an interception 95 yards for another score. Lincoln County, 2-1 and No. 9 overall, is off next week. (Note: Stats courtesy of the Lincoln County Red Devils website.)
Trending: Charlton County (2-1), No. 10 overall, beat AAAAA Bradwell Institute, 12-0 … Commerce (3-0) beat AAA Banks County, 28-14 … Emanuel County Institute was off this week.
1. Eagle's Landing Christian Academy beat Hapeville Charter, 56-14. It was another laugher for No. 1 overall ELCA. The Chargers, who led 42-0 at the half, were led by quarterback Dalton Eldridge who ran for three touchdowns and threw for four more. On defense, Brad Moore and Chase Burdette had interceptions while Andrew Williams had a fumble recovery. All three turnovers resulted in ELCA touchdowns. The Chargers for the second consecutive week played the game without three of their best players – running back/linebacker Keyonte Green, lineman Isaac Rochelle and defensive back/receiver DJ Curl. They are off next week. (Note: Stats courtesy of the Clayton News-Daily.)
2. Prince Avenue Christian (3-0, No. 3 overall) was off this week. The Wolverines will host Glascock County next week.
3. Aquinas (2-0, No. 5 overall) was off this week. The Irish host AA Josey next week.
4. Calvary Day beat Montgomery County, 49-13. The Cavaliers (3-0, No. 6 overall) were paced by Jordan Walker's two touchdown receptions (2 and 64 yards) and Luke Stroud's two touchdown runs (1 and 14). Calvary Day hosts Truetlen (1-1) next week. (Note: Stats courtesy of the Savannah Morning News.)
5. Athens Academy (2-0, unranked) was off this week. The Spartans host Our Lady of Mercy (3-0) next week.
Trending: Brookstone (2-0) was off this week. The Cougars are AA Wesleyan's (2-1) homecoming guests next week … George Walton Academy (2-1) beat Holy Innocents (2-2) 45-14.

Maybe you've heard the news that shares of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) have now fallen firmly into bear market territory as they're down more than 20% from their recent high of over $700 a share. If you're an Apple shareholder it's probably of cold comfort to you to have just been on the receiving end of another dividend. While the $2.5 billion payout sounds like a large sum, when spread across their more than 900 million shares it amounts to a fairly small pittance to the average shareholder.
For a myriad of reasons shares of Apple have been beaten down pretty badly over the past month. Still over the past year shares are still up more than 35% and there is plenty of reason for investors to see the current selling pressure as a buying opportunity. In fact, that's exactly how I see it and it's the reason why I'm adding to my Apple position in my virtual "No Drip, No Mess" Portfolio.
First though, why the fall from grace? Just two weeks ago the company gave an update on sales of their newest iPads which doubled the previous first weekend sales by selling three million units. In the release CEO Tim Cook stated that, "Customers around the world love the new iPad mini and fourth generation iPad…We set a new launch weekend record and practically sold out of iPad minis. We're working hard to build more quickly to meet the incredible demand." What appears to be bothering investors aren't the heady first weekend results but the future of the franchise in light of increased competition in the space.
That competition is coming from Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT) new surface tablet which just debuted in late October and Amazon's (NASDAQ: AMZN) updated Kindle Fire. The problem it would appear is with the price point. An iPad with Retina display will set a consumer back $499 while the iPad 2 is just a hundred dollars cheaper; meanwhile, the new mini is priced at $329. For cash strapped consumers the Kindle Fire HD is a real value and just $199 while the larger 8.9" version is $299. For a family with a few kids that's a big difference and one that is justifiably concerning the market.
Microsoft went toward the higher price point by pricing the Surface at $499 for just the tablet and $599 with the touch cover. It remains to be seen how consumers will respond to this new tablet. Still, it's another entry into what's becoming a crowded field.
The market would appear to be missing the fact that the tablet industry is still in its infancy while Apple's other markets such as smart phones and PC's still have decades left of refresh cycles. Further, the company that's revolutionized the mobile market is unlikely to be done with future innovations. While Steve Jobs has passed on, the company's employees are likely to have more innovations in the works whether they be in the living room via the long rumored Apple TV or in other market's we've not yet considered.
That future of innovative potential combined with an inexpensive share price and more than a hundred billion dollars' worth of cash in their bank accounts are more than enough reason to entice me to take another bite out of Apple. With shares recently around $525 a share I'm effectively doubling my exposure to Apple with this third buy recommendation. Specifically I'll be buying another five shares for the portfolio which will bring my total allocation up to 5.75% for a slightly overweight position. While I'm not calling the bottom in the shares, the valuation that we're seeing thanks to the sell-off is just too compelling to pass up.

text:
Affiliation—The process whereby a group of employees joins a union and agrees to abide by the terms and conditions governing the rights and responsibilities of their relationship with that union. Also refers to agreements between two or more unions. An affiliation agreement is a formal statement of this relationship between organizations.
Agency fee—A provision that some states allow in bargained contracts requiring non-union members to pay their bargaining agent an amount equal to or slightly less than union dues for administering the contract.
Agency shop—Term applied to a work site where all employees in bargaining units covered by the collective bargaining agreement must either become union members or pay a fee, usually comparable to union dues for member employees, as a condition of employment.
Arbitration—A form of impasse resolution in which an impartial third party rules in favor of the employer or your bargaining agent either on specific issues or on each side's complete package of proposals; in some cases, arbitration may produce a compromise package. The American Arbitration Association is a provider of this service.
Authorization card—A card filled out by an employee authorizing a union to represent that employee for the purpose of collective bargaining.
Bargaining committee—The union representatives who meet with management representatives to negotiate a contract. The committee is often elected by the union membership, may include a union staff person, and speaks for the membership during negotiations. This committee may also draft the contract proposals and counter-proposals.
Bargaining Unit—Those employees and job categories that will be covered by the provisions of the contract. Often, not all employees at a work site will be included in the bargaining unit. Supervisors, typically, are excluded by law.
Caucus—An informal and private meeting of the bargaining committee during a negotiating meeting; a brief time-out to share reactions or to plan strategy in a closed and confidential setting.
Certification—A judgment by the National Labor Relations Board that a particular union is the sole representative of a group of employees. The NLRB makes its judgment after holding a secret-ballot election to determine whether or not the employees at a given work site want to be represented by a particular union.
Collective bargaining—The process whereby union and management representatives meet in good faith and attempt to come to mutual agreement on conditions of employment. In most situations, management is required by law to engage in good-faith collective bargaining with a union that has been certified as representing that organization's employees.
Contract—A written document that spells out the terms and conditions of employment as well as the rights and responsibilities of employer and employee. This document applies to a specified group of employees for a specified period of time. Adherence to the terms of the contract is enforceable under the provisions of the National Labor Relations Act or appropriate public sector law.
Dues—An amount of money, often a percentage of monthly salary, paid by union members to their local union. Dues usually go into effect after a contract is signed and are often deducted by the employer from the employee's paycheck and forwarded to the union office. Dues pay for a wide range of services.
Factfinding—A form of impasse resolution in which a third party reviews each side's supporting evidence and then issues an advisory opinion in favor of either side's package of proposals.
Grievance—A formal process for investigating and correcting an employer violation of the terms of the contract. Individual union members, with the help of their union representative, can file a grievance with their employer. The grievance procedure to be followed is one of the items to be negotiated and specified in the contract between the union and management.
Impasse—The point at which no further progress can be made toward a contract agreement.
Impasse resolution—Any one of several methods (including arbitration, mediation and factfinding) used to end a stalemate in contract negotiations. Laws on impasse resolution differ significantly from state to state.
Local—A local union that is affiliated with the AFT while maintaining full autonomy, for example, to hire or fire its own staff and set its own policies.
Mediation—A form of impasse resolution in which a third party does not issue a ruling or decision but simply attempts to bring both sides to agreement through compromise.
National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)—the government body charged with enforcing the provisions of the National Labor Relations Act, which was enacted to define, encourage and protect the rights of private sector employees to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing. The NLRB is the body that unions petition to certify that they represent employees of a particular employer. It is also the body to which unions appeal unfair labor practices. For public sector employees, the government body that enforces labor laws relating to organizing will vary from state to state.
Negotiations—The process of discussion between the employer and the union for purposes of coming to an agreement on the provisions of a contract governing employment conditions and the rights and responsibilities of labor and management.
Open Shop—An employment situation in which workers are not required to join the union and in which no fees or penalties are assessed for those who choose not to join.
Petition—A document filed by the union with the National Labor Relations Board or appropriate state agency for public sector employees, requesting that the NLRB or appropriate agency conduct an election to certify that employees wish to be represented by the union.
Proposal—A suggested resolution of a particular item in a contract. In the negotiating process, each side develops proposals addressing items to be covered in the contract. Proposals may be adopted, modified or rejected.
Ratification—The formal approval of a proposed contract by union members, often by secret ballot.
Recognition—The designation of a particular union as the sole bargaining representative of a group of employees. An employer may voluntarily grant recognition to a union that requests it unless another union is competing for recognition.
Steward—A union member, usually elected by the members of a particular workplace, who represents the members in dealing with management. The union often negotiates paid time for the steward to attend to union business on behalf of the members at a given work site. The steward often helps members handle grievances or understand the provisions of the contract. The steward is also the main conduit of information between the union and the members.
Tentative agreement—The final form of a proposed contract that is presented to a local union by its bargaining agent for a vote.
Unfair Labor Practice—Any activity on the part of an employer or the employee that violates the provisions of the National Labor Relations Act. A charge of an unfair labor practice may be filed with the National Labor Relations Board. The NLRB will investigate the charge, and if it is found to have merit, an NLRB attorney will prosecute the case on behalf of the charging party.
Union organizer—A paid employee of the union who helps build the structure and the resources necessary for workers to organize and negotiate a collective bargaining agreement with their employer. An organizer may help to stimulate interest, develop and implement organizing strategy and provide technical assistance to local volunteer organizers.
Union rep—A representative of the union who may or may not be an organizer. The union rep provides technical assistance and guidance during organizing and negotiations. Often the union rep has the responsibility to ensure that the efforts of the union local are compatible with the goals and expectations of the parent union. The union rep usually plays a major role in identifying and securing the financial resources necessary to support the local.

The Zora Neale Hurston Plays at the Library of Congress present a selection of ten plays written by Hurston (1891-1960), author, anthropologist, and folklorist. Deposited in the United States Copyright Office between 1925 and 1944, most of the plays remained unpublished and unproduced until they were rediscovered in the Copyright Deposit Drama Collection in 1997. The plays reflect Hurston's life experience, travels, and research, especially her study of folklore in the African-American South. Totaling seven hundred images, the scripts are housed in the Library's Manuscript, Music, and Rare Books and Special Collections Divisions.

|McKechnie Field / Pittsburgh Pirates / Bradenton Marauders
|Page 2: Concessions and More
|All Pages
Year Opened: 1923; last renovated in 1993 and 2007
Capacity: 6,562
Dimensions: 335L, 375LC, 400C, 375RC, 335R
Playing Surface: Grass
League: Florida State League
Parent: Pittsburgh Pirates
Parking: Local street parking.
Address/Directions: From St. Petersburg, take I-275 South across the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. Take I-75 South exit. Take Exit 220 for FL-64 toward Bradenton. Keep right at fork and merge onto Manatee Avenue East. Continue for approximately 6 miles. Turn left at Ninth Street West. McKechnie Field will be on your right.
It is authentically old, without the faux sheen of retro features so prevalent in new spring-training complexes these days. Built in 1923 for the St. Louis Cardinals and still known by many oldtimers as the former spring home of the Milwaukee Braves and Atlanta Braves, McKechnie Field is basically the same ballpark where Roberto Clemente gracefully patrolled the outfield, where Willie Stargell engaged the fans, and where Henry Aaron awed onlookers with his sheer power and determination. It's not the gaudiest of ballparks and the Pittsburgh Pirates aren't exactly crammed with superstars these days, but spring-training aficionados know McKechnie Field is a throwback to how spring training used to be: an intimate affair played in a neighborhood ballpark.
Still, McKechnie Field isn't exactly the same as it was 20 years ago. For starters: there are now lights in the place. McKechnie Field was the last spring-training facility to sport lights, and this season will see the return of Florida State League baseball in the form of the Bradenton Maurauders. But it's the sort of intimate place where the regulars know one another, and beer vendor Kevin Beauregard still leads the cheers on a slow afternoon.

In a more recent stunning move of theological arrogance, SBC leadership and the International Mission Board leadership in particular have revised their previously held position and asked IMB missionaries to sign a statement affirming the 2000 Baptist Faith and Message revision. A denomination established as a haven of Christian freedom and dedicated to the purpose of Christ-centered missions now finds itself requiring its missionaries to sign a creed that removes the person of Jesus Christ as the ultimate window through which to understand the Bible and God.
Stand With Christ explores and explains the history of, the problems with, and the biblical judgment of the recent Baptist Faith and Message revision and its uses as a force of control, internal purification, and conformity. Is this a balanced book? By no means. It tips the scales with a proud allegiance to "the freedom for which Christ set us free" (Gal. 5:1) and a disdain for all creeds save the Bible alone.

Boston Marathon Bombings top Google's annual Zeitgeist report
The bombings at the Boston Marathon was the most-searched event of 2013, according to Google's annual Zeitgeist report.
The annual list, which compiles the popular search engine's most common search terms, shows the marathon bombings topping the list of event searches, followed by the government shutdown, the MTV Video Music Awards, the tornadoes in Oklahoma and the birth of the royal baby.
The horrific events at the Boston Marathon, however, did not reach the number one slot of "top trending" terms. That went to "Fast and the Furious" star Paul Walker, who died last month in a fiery car accident.
In the city of Boston, the marathon was the third most-searched term, coming in behind the Red Sox and Bruins.
The Zeitgeist lists are meant to gauge the interests of Internet users around the world. To explore the rest of the Zeitgeist list, click here.
