| Mid-December Fisheries Memo
Port Alexander, Alaska. Notice the haze from the surf out at Cape Ommaney, the bottom tip of Baranof Island. The sport fishing here is a closely guarded secret. Oops. Maybe the thousands of fishermen on the East coast and growing numbers on the Pacific coast, that have signed the petition, in hard copy and on-line, have struck a nerve. The Director of the National Marine Fisheries Service, Bill Hogarth just quit. U.S. fishermen are proposing to take NMFS to Congress, unlike the Canadian halibut fishermen who are taking their Dept. of Fisheries and Oceans to a court of law. "John, Am anxious to see if King runs rebound, Chigniks' run was acceptable but not great. Many places had none at all. Seems obvious that the harder they fish for less pollack the more kings they will intercept." I hear this a lot these days.

Once a quiet alternative to Sharm El-Sheikh, the Red Sea’s Hurghada ...
With its year-round sunshine, water sports and exciting nightlife, Hurghada has become one of the nation's top resort destinations. Basically a long stretch of resorts that somehow feel less contrived than Sharm El-Sheikh, Hurghada retains elements of the small Egyptian town it once was. .
The Hands of Esau
He wore Esau's clothes and covered his arms with hairy goat skins. The ruse nearly failed, when the father felt the arms of Jacob and his suspicion was aroused. That's when he uttered the famous words: "The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau." (Genesis, 27: 22). Yet Jacob, the impostor, did receive the blessing and became the father of the nation which was named after him (he was also called Israel). It seems that Ehud Olmert is a true successor: there is no connection between his voice and his hands. Anyone who listens to him - not just at the press conference, but also on every other occasion - hears words of peace and reason: The Palestinians must have a state of their own. The "vision" must be realized while Bush is president, because Israel has never had and never will have a truer friend.

The entry level MBP won't get Blu-ray, but I would expect it on the high-end 15″ and 17″ machines. It might be a BTO option until Panasonic gets volumes up, but Blu-ray is definitely coming to a Mac near you.

Baylor women's tennis prepares for championship
Zemenova (No. 15) and Broosova (No. 18) are two of five Lady Bears ranked in the ITA Top 100. Hamilton, Ontario, freshman Taylor Ormond (No. 23), Prievidza, Slovakia, junior Jana Bielikova (No. 47) and Poznan, Poland, freshman Karolina Filipiak (No. 87) are also ranked. Only No. 1 Georgia Tech, with six, has more players than Baylor on the list. "It's a good situation to be in to have this many players that play at the highest level," Scrivano said. "That's been a goal of a program -- to develop players one through eight. I think we are starting to do that." (C) 2008 The Lariat via U-WIRE .
