With billions of dollars destined for the Gulf Coast from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, it's no surprise to see a vigorous debate over how to make the best use of this unique opportunity.
With billions of dollars destined for the Gulf Coast from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, it's no surprise to see a vigorous debate over how to make the best use of this unique opportunity. But many of us in the business community believe the best solution is clear: We can use Restore Act money to spur the economy while we restore the environment and protect our communities. And we can employ local workers while we do it — a win for everyone.
I'm proud to join a diverse group of business leaders from across the Gulf Coast to say we can do it all. We can invite the nation to enjoy our seafood, one-of-a-kind culture, world-class fisheries, outdoors sporting opportunities and tourist destinations; and we can bolster all of this through focusing on investing in ecosystem restoration projects in all five states. We recently sent a letter to Gov. Bobby Jindal and to the governors of Alabama, Mississippi, Florida and Texas to encourage the use of Restore Act funds to strengthen job opportunities by restoring our coastal and marine ecosystems. We represent over 120 companies, spanning more than 800 locations across the region, who generate over $20 billion in revenue annually.
Here in Louisiana, Gov. Jindal and Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority Chairman Garrett Graves have crafted a tremendous coastal master plan that acknowledges the importance of a healthy coast for our economic future and sets an example for the entire region. Together with our Legislature, they had the vision to ensure Restore Act resources go into restoring our coast. The master plan also took a forward-thinking approach that acknowledged the value and supported the idea of preparing local workers with job training and placement opportunities to access these new jobs in constructing, designing and administering coastal restoration projects.
As a construction firm with years of experience along the coast, Phylway Construction knows these restoration projects create a demand for work from a wide variety of private sector companies. Engineering, construction, transportation and manufacturing firms along the Gulf are prepared to conduct the work of coastal restoration projects, and I have witnessed firsthand that investments in coastal restoration and protection can mean jobs for local workers and economic growth for our businesses and communities. When the public pictures coastal restoration, they sometimes think of volunteers planting sea grass and marsh plants. But coastal projects are more often akin to heavy civil construction projects involving barges, dredges and other heavy equipment and a whole range of different kinds of workers with various skill levels.
Studies have found ecosystem restoration projects create between 17 and 36 jobs for every $1 million invested, on par with highway or other infrastructure investments. In Louisiana, environmental projects (like those in the master plan such as building barrier islands, natural shorelines and oyster reefs) are projected to create thousands of local jobs.
These projects offer a range of jobs, from high-skill jobs like coastal engineers and geologists, to skilled work like boat captains, welders, construction workers and supervisors, and heavy equipment operators. Many of the jobs in restoration do not require a four-year degree and are well-suited for vocational, short-term and on-the-job training opportunities.
Louisiana will benefit from investing in preparing local, low-income and disadvantaged workers for these new restoration jobs through the Restore Act. We have a chance to bring industry, communities, training institutions and government agencies together to identify the skill sets and training necessary. These are the kinds of jobs that can provide hard-working families with good wages and a shot at economic mobility all while ensuring and protecting our local resources and ways of life.
As communities continue to suffer the impacts of this spill, Gov. Jindal and the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority have a chance to set an example for our region through investing Restore Act funds in both our environmental and human resources. We can tackle the economic and environmental challenges and opportunities by using these funds sensibly and wisely by investing in both restoring our barrier islands, wetlands and fisheries and training the next generation of workers to design, construct and administer these projects that are so essential for ensuring our way of life.

Bears coach Marc Trestman wants Devin Hester focused on what he does best.
Trestman said at the league meeting today that he views Hester as a return man, not a wide receiver. As a result, Trestman said, Hester will be spending his time in practice working with the special teams.
Although Trestman hasn't totally ruled out Hester playing some receiver, he said he's not even sure if Hester will practice with the wide receivers this season, let alone play with them.
When the Bears drafted Hester in 2006, they initially listed him as a cornerback, and it wasn't until he burst onto the scene as the best return man in the NFL during his rookie season that the team decided to try to put the ball in his hands more by playing him on offense.
The results on offense have been mixed: Hester has had his moments as a receiver, but he's never been a game-changer on offense the way he has been on special teams. And there's been some talk that the time Hester is spending on offense is detracting from what he does as a returner.
That won't be the case this year: Trestman is making returning kicks Hester's top priority.

Another Day of Sweat and Swelter in New Jersey
New Jersey's oppressive heat wave continues with another day of sweat and swelter along with unhealthy air.
An Air Quality Alert has been issued for central and south Jersey counties including Monmouth, Ocean, Salem, Gloucester, Camden, Burlington, Cumberland, Atlantic and Cape May counties as the hot air may be unhealthy for children, people with asthma, heart disease and the elderly.
An Excessive Heat Advisory is in effect for Mercer, Gloucester, Camden and Burlington counties but the entire state faces temperatures in the 90s which combined with the humidity will create a heat index of 105 to 115 degrees. The highest heat of the day is expected between 1 p.m. and 6 p.m.
The worse of the heat wave comes tomorrow when humidity levels will increase tomorrow as the high pressure area responsible for the heat wave will begin to weaken.
Trenton and Newark reached high temperatures of 95. According to WeatherUnderground.com, the high reached 93 in Farmingdale, 91 in Morristown, 93 in Atlantic City and 96 in Woodbridge.
Two fronts will move through the area Saturday with the second one getting 'hung up" to our south. Heavy showers and thunderstorms will form during the day on Saturday continuing into the evening. Sunday will be "cooler" with high temperatures in the upper 80s with less humidity and the threat of thunderstorms.
National Weather Service Heat Safety Tips
- Slow down and reduce strenuous activities. Reschedule strenuous work for early morning or evening.
- Wear lightweight and light-colored clothing to reflect heat and sunlight.
- Drink plenty of water and nonalcoholic and non-carbonated beverages.
- Spend more time in air conditioned places.
- Avoid protein rich meals such as meats that increase metabolic heat production and increase water loss.
- Never leave children, disabled adults or pets in parked cars -- beat the heat, check the back seats.

Shelby American is following up its 950- and 1,100-hp anniversary edition Super Snake models with something a little tamer for 2013. Two new versions of the Super Snake are now being offered, one with 662 hp and one with an upgraded supercharger and an output of 850 hp. And, for the first time, a wide-body kit for the pony car will be offered.
The new Shelby GT500 Super Snake—set to debut at the Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas auction Sept. 20-22—starts with a base 2013 Ford Mustang GT500. Shelby American adds a short-throw shifter with an optional 3.73:1 rear-axle ratio, an upgraded suspension and Shelby-designed 20-inch wheels. Underneath, the Snake gains a Borla exhaust system; Wilwood brakes with six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers; and a new cooling package, including a new radiator, heat exchanger and aluminum cooling tanks.
A fiberglass hood is installed—with the Shelby Super Snake design—to reduce weight. Super Snake stripes are available in satin black, gloss white, silver or blue. Super Snake badges with a Shelby registry number are added, while the headrests and floor mats are embroidered with the Super Snake logo.
The full wide-body kit costs $17,995; the rear alone costs $11,995. Both include 14-inch-wide wheels and tires. The kit includes front brake cooling ducts behind the door side scoops.
Optional boxes to check include the Ford Racing/Whipple supercharger, which bumps output to 850 hp, an Eibach coil-over suspension and sway bar kit, premium Shelby interior and special delivery of the car at the Shelby Museum in Las Vegas.
The base package costs $28,995 for 662 hp. The 850-hp package jumps to $39,995. The post-title packages do not include the price of a GT500 donor car, which currently stickers at $54,995.

Probably Nos. 1, 8, 23 are accurate but I can't verify the rest as being anything more than rumour chit chat... it might be true, it might be a diversion to keep us away from looking at something else, or it might be a load of old bull.
Anyway, here goes!
WHERE WE ARE AT FROM SUZY STARHi everyone,I am so tired of the hype and disinfo and misinfo, that today I specifically went to my highest and finest source to get an appropriate perspective that I could share. I also don't want to send out misinfo thinking it is true and then finding egg-on-face. Here's what I got:1. Calm down. You and the planet, all of us, are being taken care of.2. Change is happening. Good/great change. No matter what you see, know that significant and effective change is in the works and moving forward every day.3. Don't believe anything, even "confirmed" stuff, until the EBS (Emergency Broadcast System) says it. No matter who says what.4. That (EBS) will happen before Summer.5. The goal of the good PTB is "best solution(s) with minimum chaos".6. The details change hourly/daily. The details are NOT all worked out! They are flying seat-of-pants.7. That is why not to believe anything till EBS comes on. You can be told something that is true in the moment and then 5 minutes later it changes and you don't get that word.8. We are getting lots of help from the ETs/Galactics etc. They know what they are doing.9. The WH is empty of significant decision-makers. The O family has moved to Dubai with all personal belongings.10. Dunford is in at the moment. Ham has bowed out by his own choice. Ryan is also in.....again, changes every 5 seconds. It's all interim anyway.11. What little is left of the cabal is like a mortally wounded tiger. They are lashing out anyplace they can.12. The principles of the Declaration of Independence stand and are timeless.13. The Constitution was the practical rule book on how at that time in history to put the principles of the D of I into reality. The Constitution will not be restored as is, as there will be some changes.14. The Republic will not be restored in its original form. Of course the US Corp is dying/dead.15. There will be no November election as we are accustomed to.16. Democratic and Republican parties are dead and will be dissolved as they stand now.17. Elections will be held within 3-4 months after EBS announcements. They will be with paper ballots counted by hand. Pretty much new people will be running, people you may not have heard of.18. The new form of governance will be people-oriented, people-empowering, cooperative, balanced male-female principles, transparent, accountable to all, local as much as possible.19. The principles of NESARA and GESARA will be put into play but maybenot by those names, and in stages rather than all at once.20. The new global monetary system will be/is honest and transparent.21. The currencies' reset will happen, actually has been going on in select places, and probably in stages, because countries' monetary values of their currencies are out of balance globally. Currencies will be gold-backed and asset-backed as well. Money has to be based on real value and all in balance globally.22. Abundance will increase exponentially and be available to all.23. All life is of value and to be honored. Human, animals, plants, devas, all.SO keep up your faith, know all is well and you have a beautiful life ahead of you!Blessings, love and aloha,Mary

Noodle Tuesday: Season's Ice and Eatery
Taiwanese beef noodle soup (left), egg and green onion bing
In my constant quest for a decent bowl of Taiwanese beef noodle soup, I headed to Season's Ice and Eatery, a little snack shop in the Chinatown Cultural Plaza. I was the only one there in the late morning, but by the time I sat down to my bowl, 10 people had arrived, all after the same thing—beef noodle soup. The kitchen—more like a counter—at Season's is so tiny that the orders have to come out two at a time.
While I enjoyed the slippery white noodles, the soup was disappointing—a flat beef broth with little spice or heat. Two spoonfuls of chili paste help. But don't write off Season's: the egg bing is my favorite of all the Chinese flatbreads around. The thick sesame dough is rolled out to order and wrapped around scrambled eggs and chives—think of it as the Chinese version of a breakfast burrito. The beef and veggies shao bing, which almost tastes like beef noodle soup in hot pocket form, is also a winner, especially with a dunk in Season's house garlic sauce provided on every table. The owner boasts it has ten secret ingredients in it; I'm guessing in addition to garlic and chili, there's also pineapple, to give it a sweet tartness. Now if only there was all that punch and flavor in the beef noodle soup.

About firefly
It certainly has the potential to remove some open pollinated plants from the public domain, which is why the OSGATA (Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association) has filed suit against Monsanto. Their suit was rejected but is now on appeal, with oral arguments having been heard on January 10, 2013. It's an uphill battle for them to get standing in the case, though. Organic growers aren't in the habit of spraying RoundUp on their plants, so even if they're at risk for contamination, Monsanto is arguing that the organic growers have no exposure to litigation for infringement of the RoundUp Ready patent. The oral arguments make for an amusing, albeit sad, read.
I need to correct myself - that's not the argument Monsanto is making this time. The best summary I've found is this argument preview. Basically, the prediction is that they'll be found to big and important to be held to any basic standards of decency in their dealings with little guys. Also of interest, who's weighing in on which side.
Actually, much as Monsanto would prefer you not believe it to be the case, farmers do continue to develop their crops without large, patent protected, corporate budgets. There's the American Chestnut Foundation, which has spent well over a decade developing a blight resistant American Chestnut, and Badgersett Research, a little Mom and Pop place that's been working on developing better hazelnuts, chestnuts, and hickory trees for food production, just to name a couple of the longer term projects that supposedly can't take place without the protection that patents give.
It gets even more convoluted - I've been following this. It's the act of benefiting from the gene that is illegal regardless of whether you've signed a license or not. It's OK to replicate (hence the plants are off the hook), and you can even plant the seed, but as soon as you spray the round-up on it and the plant doesn't die, you are in violation. I kid you not.
I've noticed the copyright maximalists are so afraid of that apt word that they really can't think straight when it is uttered. Makes sense though. Given a choice between a monopolist and a pirate, which do you think is the more politically damaging term? Especially since the public can recognize (or read in the US Constitution) that copyright maximalists really are monopolists.
Arguing in favor of the Pirate name, it is associated with unprecedented political upset: the defeat of legislation that conventional wisdom said couldn't be defeated. This has made me realize that we really aren't powerless, as those who are trying to maintain their hold on power would prefer we believe.
Also, there's a long history of underdogs embracing derogatory labels (eg geek). A negative label which can be associated with such a great success is a treasure in the P.R. world which I don't think we should lightly squander. We fight censorship, and they call us pirates. Maybe the label pirate is one that we should embrace?
Actually, I think the comment makes some sense. The Germans most definitely have not forgotten how easy it is to completely lose freedom and come under the rule of a totalitarian state. Don't forget how enlightened pre-Nazi Germany appeared to be, and you might see some parallels with how the U.S. now sees itself as a haven for freedom.
Those who live in countries that were on the side of freedom in the war have a dangerous hubris about how "it can't happen here." We aren't as likely to notice signs of an impending police state such as "your papers please." I remember my mother, who was a Wave officer in the Navy during WWII, explaining how in the United States indefinite detention is illegal, supposedly one of the freedoms she fought for. Japanese detention camps aside, I still think she's been turning over in her grave about the fact that after Obama signed NDAA, indefinite detention has become the law of the land here.
News articles notwithstanding, OpenCongress shows Ron Paul on the abstain list. Nays were Keith Ellison [D, MN-5], Justin Amash [R, MI-3], and Paul Broun [R, GA-10].
I've been a little lazy in my opposition to the Cybersecurity Act of 2012 (S. 2105), but the jotform takedown has energized me to voice my opposition to my senators today.
This is still a live issue: Spectrum auctions included in tentative tax deal from the Hill's Hillicon Valley on 02/15/12 a 11:41 AM.
I wonder what has happened to the other spectrum related riders.
Does this bill permit packet sniffing by cable companies in the name of detecting cybersecurity threats? If not, what does the following language in the bill mean?
"Title VII Information
Notwithstanding chapter 119, 121, or 206 of title 18, United States Code, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (50 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), and the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 151 et seq.), any private entity may
(1) monitor information systems of the entity and information that is stored on, processed by, or transiting the information systems for cybersecurity threats;"
(The referenced Title 18 of the United States Code has to do with pen registers and interception of communication. Notwithstanding means in spite of or despite)
I found this while trying unsuccessfully to sign one of these petitions:
"USTR is committed to President Obama�s OpenGov Initiative, helping to create a government that is transparent, participatory, and collaborative with the American people. USTR�s OpenGov page will allow for the American public to ask USTR questions, review Annual Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) reports, and contact USTR officials. As USTR works to create trade policy that benefits American workers and families, the OpenGov initiative will be a vital tool in maintaining an open dialogue with the American people.
Share Your Ideas
"USTR has created a comment form where you can comment on USTR's open government plan and priorities."
I also downloaded the USTR transparency plan (pdf) from this page, which says about the TPP: "This new initiative presented an excellent opportunity to engage more robustly and in new ways with the American public to gain input as the Administration crafts its trade policy." and refers to this page:
The whole experience of trying to sign this petition is just a bit too Kafkaesque for my tastes. I think I'll wait 'till tomorrow to read the TPP information which has been posted to make it, not just in compliance with, but exemplary of the OpenGov Initiative. YMMV
Dunno if it's just me, but when I went over to Hillicon Valley to find out more about this, there was a banner ad placed by CTIA (members include AT&T, Verizon, etc.) which read
(in large all caps) CONGRESS
(in smaller all caps) Auctioning spectrum could mean as much as $30 billion to fund payroll tax cuts.
Learn more.
America's Wireless Companies
Could someone else take a look, and tell me if they see the same thing?
Heaven forbid, can say whatever they want with no "fact checker!" This has got to change (and it will when ACTA gets passed in the EU Parliament later this month, starting debate tomorrow).
Will Jon Stewart agree to be a write in candidate in the upcoming Democratic primaries? It's our only hope.
Sorry Google, I'm not quite ready to hop on board the OPEN Act yet. I think at this point we can ask for more than that - like real copyright reform. The legal interpretation of the balance between the interests of rights holders and promotion of progress (Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 of the United States Constitution) has shifted way too far towards rights holders. Until some balance is restored, you're going to have as much trouble combating piracy as they had enforcing prohibition. And, I fear, we're going to get some really entrenched criminals as a result, just as we did with prohibition.
Here's the press release.
Here's the press release. Not sure when the change takes place. I do believe that Leahy honestly believes in PIPA and would not disagree with anything in Obama's press release. The same may go for Ed Pagano. Please, everybody, spend more time talking to your legislators and their staff, and less time in the echo chamber.
I'm not sure, maybe SOPA supporters know more than we do.
On Thursday, Leahy backed off on DNS. On Friday, Leahy announces that his Chief of Staff Ed Pagano is leaving to be Obama's liaison with the Senate. And here we read that Abramoff "would talk to staffers -- especially chiefs of staff -- and just let them know he had a job opening for them whenever they wanted it." Also, there's the big splashy White House announcement supposedly against SOPA/PIPA. Anyone want to speculate on how these dots are connected?
I, for one, trust Leahy, who took very unpopular stands against both the Iraq and Vietnam wars. I think he really views piracy as stealing and has been blinded by his passion against stealing to the nuances of this issue. I think Vermonters might be getting through to him that eating Gilfeather turnips isn't stealing. John Gilfeather of Wardsboro, VT, and the developer of the Gilfeather turnip, would cut the bottoms and tops off them before selling them, so that no one else could grow them - DRM for the 19th century.
Full disclosure: I'm from Vermont.

In preparation for Salem's Haunted Happenings, the MBTA partners with the city of Salem to discuss additional train service and how best to meet the needs of people traveling to and from the festivities. "Each year gets better and better for travelers opting to take public transportation to Salem's Haunted Happenings," said MBTA general manager Daniel A. Grabauskas. "To better serve customers traveling to Salem, we review prior travel patterns and make adjustments to accommodate their needs. By providing options, customers have no excuse but to leave their ear at home and, leave the driving to us."

Earthquake overview : An extremely dangerous shallow earthquake occurred in the border area
of Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan at 01:35 AM. At least 14 people have been killed. Theoretical casualty calculations reported that there would be a moderate number of deaths & injuries. Let us hope for the best! The epicenter is located near the Kyrgyzstan / Uzbekistan border.
Most of the historic information we are reporting in this article is derived from James Daniell CatDat, earthquake disaster database.
We can say that in Kyrgystan for housing loss:
* 176.4 million soms (houses with heavy damage) = $3.94 million USD
* 65.1 million soms (houses with medium damage) = $1.455 million USD
* 17.67 million soms (houses with weak damage) = $0.395 million USD
* Total damage to residential locations (reconstruction) = $5.79 million USD in Kyrgyzstan.
* 186 welfare projects, 4190 of private houses and 21 multi-storey houses have been surveyed in 9 districts and Batken and Osh cities.
* According to the survey, 175 facilities, 21 multi-storey houses and 3911 private residences have various degrees of damage. (around 93% have some form of damage).
* In Uzbekistan, it is unknown what the cost will be but it could be assumed that it could be similar to Kyrgyzstan.
* The CATDAT estimate of $30 million still seems reasonable for the total loss once other building types, utilities and other losses are included.
- 13 killed in Uzbekistan with 86 injured (35 hospitalized).
- 0 killed in Kyrgyzstan with 15 injured.
- 1 killed in Tajikistan (jumping out of window).
- There has been much damage and each of the ministry of emergency situations in each country are still undertaking reports for the damage.
- At least 800 houses are reported to be damaged and a number of old buildings destroyed in Uzbekistan.
- In Kyrgyzstan, 200 buildings were destroyed and more than 400 houses and 50 buildings were seriously damaged.

IMPORTANT UPDATE 25/07-08:51 : Witness reports from the Hamza area are saying the shaking went on for approx. 4 minutes. "Dust from he collapsed buildings was covering the moon!". As the power went out, people had to escape in the dark of the night. Elderly people did mention that this earthquake was the most severe they experienced in their whole life. When the shaking stopped a lot of people were yelling to find relatives. The community people helped each other like real rescuers, carrying wounded people out in the open spaces.
UPDATE 25/07-08:51 : Doctors of a hospital in Rishtan have carried a lot of people into the streets and have provided first aid to the earthquake victims also on the street. The hospital personnel was afraid of damaging aftershocks. The hospital was, just as so many places in the area, without electricity. They seemingly had NO backup generator which lead to aid being given to patients by candlelight.
UPDATE 25/07-08:51 : The Uzbekistan Fergana - Rishtan area has been seriously damaged by the earthquake. In some villages, almost every house is damaged and some houses are even uninhabitable. People in the damaged villages are starting to complain that authorities haven't even visited their village and that they will need a lot of assistance to repair houses.
UPDATE 23/07-16:20 : A fracture is reported on a dam under construction in Tajikistan. The project has been stopped until engineers are coming up with a solution. The July 19 earthquake and the following aftershocks are sais to be the origin of the fracture.
UPDATE 21/07-13:54 : Click here for a Russian spoken video from PIK.tv. The video footage shows part of the damage.
UPDATE 21/07-10:50 : Based on the damage in the villages below, we can conclude that the mountain villages have been more severely hit than the valley towns and villages.
UPDATE 21/07-10:24 : 125 houses were damaged in the Chong-Alay area (Kyrgyzstan). In Zhekendi 67 housesrevealed cracks (52 of these houses will need to be repaired). In Siva 58 houses were damaged and 49 of them need to be repaired. Additionally a lot of houses were damaged in Sulukta, Batken, Kyzyl-Kiya, Toolos, Zulpieva, Yntymak, etc.
IMPORTANT UPDATE 21/07-08:30 : The Ministry of Emergency Situations of Kyrgyzstan has reported that the earthquake destroyed over 200 buildings. More than 400 houses and 50 public buildings were seriously damaged. Medical care was provided for 15 people.
In the region of Kyrgyzstan Kadamzhai, tens of thousands of residents remained without electricity. Emergency services erected 115 tents to accommodate people who's house has been destroyed. In the mountainous areas roads have been blocked by rock avalanches. Experts are continuing their assessment work into underground facilities like mines and mine pits to prevent accidents.
UPDATE 13:21 UTC : Power has been restored in the Kadamzhai area
IMPORTANT UPDATE 11:58 UTC : The impact of the earthquake is becoming more apparent and unfortunately gradually more damaging.
Among others Gazeta.UZ reports that at least
5 13 14 people were killed (13 in Uzbekistan and 1 person who jumped tragically out of his window at the second floor in Tadjikistan) and 40 86 90 injured (86 in Uzbekistan and 4 in Kyrgyzstan) (among them 35 people are hospitalized) in the Uzbek Fergana valley. Most of the people hospitalized are coming out of the mountains. More details are still missing. We think that the earlier reported victim in Tadjikistan is not counted in this number.
Additionzally, at least 800 houses are damaged and a number of them are inhabitable (red stickers). The area surveyed so far is the Kadamzhai area. Some old residential buildings have been destroyed in the Fergana area.
Video : The video below has been recorded in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. It shows the shaking in the apartment. The shaking is not violent but is lasting a very long time.
UPDATE 11:45 : Earthquake-Report.com just called a travel agent in Tashkent with trusted contacts in Rishtan and Fergana. He reported that the situation is normal in both cities and that there was no serious damage reported. One part of our concerns has luckily a happy end.
Whas there an earthquake in Uzbekistan earlier today?
We agree that this is a very strange question in an earthquake reporting site, but ...
Contrary to Kyrgyzstan who is openly informing their people on what happened since the last several hours, the Uzbekistan newspapers and TV stations are almost silent, like nothing happened.
We especially would like to read the outcome of locations like Fayziabad, Altyaryk, Hamza, Amir-Ravat, Rishtan, Pandygan, Akbilyal, etc. Almost all these villages and towns are located in the valley and have several thousands of inhabitants. Rishtan for example has a population of 22,580 (last census)
UPDATE 10:37: Russian news reports said the quake was felt as far away as Tajikistan's capital, Dushanbe, some 300 kilometers from the epicenter.
UPDATE 10:35: Uzbekistan TC - not 1 word on the news overview !
UPDATE 10:25: According to Kyrgyz officials and press, the Kyrgyz area has only suffered minor damage. Even in Kan (Kadamzhai district), only 7 km from the epicenter, the damage is mainly cracks in walls. The Kyrgyz area of the earthquake is mostly on top of a mountain range. The most disturbing reports are coming from the Uzbek side of the border, where the valley is much more vulnerable for this earthquake. We have however NO reports from the Uzbekistan authorities.
Appeal from Lubica Urminska (we print this message as her call for information is typical for people living in another country with relatives in the earthquake area - we have Lubica her Email address, if you know the whereabouts of her brother, please let us know) :
"Hello, I have a brother in Kyrgyzstan, somewhere close to Osh - or on the way to or back to Lenin Peak, I cant get in touch with him, please do you know if there was an earthquake in the mountains too? Are there many injured? Any dead people? I have no idea whom to contact, I will be thankful for any info. THANKS A LOT!"

UPDATE 09:15: One person is reported killed in Khujand, Tadjikistan. The person was killed while jumping from the second floor of his building. Khujand experienced a VI MMI shaking (strong shaking)
IMPORTANT UPDATE 09:09: More than 13 hours after the earthquake hit the Fergana Valley, we have still NO detailed damages reports. Kyrgyzstan Ministry of Emergencies is winding down the earthquake to minor damage. Uzbekistan officials have not reported yet to the press.
Earthquake-Report.com is not convinced at all from a happy ending. The UZnews report from below is talking a totally different language and the reported "full hospital" is not even in the direct epicenter area.
IMPORTANT UPDATE 08:42 : UZnews.net is reporting : According to a resident of the city Hamza, Altyaryk district, local hospital is full, "so much that are not enough places. " In the city, as told by other people, many houses are partly destroyed . (ER : Hamza (Uzbekistan) is approx. 40 km from the epicenter)
UPDATE 08:35 : Even with so called "minor damage", the bill will go into the millions US$, according to CatDat. As the current information is very thin, it is too difficult at this time to make a more precise estimate.
UPDATE 08:30 : The quality of the buildings in the region is similar to the village of Nura. At October 5, 2008 there was an earthquake of 8 points, which killed 70 people and destroyed about 200 houses.
Based on these data, there will be clearly some damage at this time. A special group has been send to the epicenter area.
UPDATE 08:11 : One of the small towns closes to the epicenter is Sovetskiy / Kiyan-kul (Kyrgyzstan), which has also an airport. We have measured that this small town is at only 10 km from the epicenter.
UPDATE 07:59 : More earthquake-Report.com felt reports :
Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan (moderate shaking indicated) :we were on the 9th floor in Bishkek, in our appartments, I woke up because of shaking, while usually i do not even feel anything. this time earthquake was more obvious and notticable.
UPDATE 07:47 : The Kyrgyzstan Ministry of Emergencies reports that the earthquake reached intensities of 7 to 8 near the epicenter. Batken experienced a 6 intensity. The ministry also reported that so far only minimal damage was reported, mostly cracks in walls.
UPDATE 7:37 : The transformer substation "Steel" in Kadamdzhayskom (Kyrgyzstan) area has faulted and shut down the light in the villages Kadamjay, Tulgone, Kyzyl-Bulun, Halmion, Ohne, Yargutane, Tamas.
UPDATE 7:27 UTC : Residents of the city of Shymkent, located in southern Kazakhstan, spent the night outdoors for fear of aftershocks. Shymkent is far away from the epicenter
UPDATE 6:58 : NewsOK writes : The highway linking Batken to the biggest city in the south, Osh, was closed off because of falling rocks, but was later cleared by emergency workers.
UPDATE 6:48 : Although it is still too early for the final outcome, it is a good sign that NO people have been reported killed so far. This enables us to conclude that at least the worse case scenarios will not come true.
UPDATE 6:45 : In southern Kyrgyzstan, tens of thousands of residents were without electricity. Some hospitals did also lose power.
UPDATE 5:58 : Felt reports as received by Earthaquake-Report.com
Shymkent, Kazakhstan : long shaking at 1.38 a.m abt a minute, many woke up and ran out to streets
Osh, Kyrgyzstan : Very strong it was in Osh, Kyrgyzstan. It lasted for about a minute. People spent the night outside.. Musa + Strong shakes, coming over and over, continuing for about 1 minute. Several light aftershocks. People left their houses? spent the nght outside. Musa
Khujand Tajikistan : I was asleep but woke up suddenly and turned the light on. Parents and my brother were already near the house exit door and ready to go outside if anything. But we didnt leave the house because the shaking stopped, however it lasted real long. Everyone started calling each other amd asking is all okay. My papa recalled the similar earthquaqe of 1985, saying it was almost like that. There werent any wall cracks on the walls of our apartment, however my workplace had several cracks on second and third floors.
Osh, Kyrgyzstan : MMI VI indicated
Tashkent, Uzbekistan : it was like nightmare, I am living in Tashkent, and whole flat was shaking like hell. I took my wife and infant and ran away to road, I never felt like that earthquake in any of the country where I lived. My parents called me from my home country that they saw news on channel, but on local channels here its nothing, Govt. doesn't want to report any damage, why not because they don't care about citizen, Ferghana is in Uzbekistan, same country, but logically that regions are separate parts are Andijan incident in 2005. So don't expect any news from Govt, and local media, they are not going to report any thing.
UPDATE 05:30 : From Fergana, people are still on the streets fearful of aftershocks. Ferghana valley is a major centre of cotton and silk production.
Reporting through Reuters, "local residents also reported damage to low-rise apartment blocks in the nearby town of Margilan, a silk production centre. "It's an old town and some of the old houses have been destroyed," she said, requesting anonymity."
Ismat, a resident of the Kyrgyz city of Batken, close to the border with Uzbekistan, also said buildings had shaken violently and that cracks were visible in the walls, although he had not seen any buildings collapse.
From Russian sources, the intensity was felt at approximately 7-8 on the MSK-64 scale across the border in Kyrgyzstan. Tremors were felt: in epicentral villages 7 - 8 points, and the cities Aydarkene - 7, Batken - 6 , Kyzyl-Kiya and Nookat - 5.5, Osh - 5, Tash-Kumyr - 3 - 4, Bishkek - 2 - 3 points.
Earthquake-Report.com comment : From all this we can expect some destroyed houses, and a low amount of casualties. In the area of the epicenter, MES (Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic.), sent specialists of the Institute of Seismology of the National Academy of Sciences of the Kyrgyz Republic. According to the Director of the Institute Kanatbek Abdrahmatova, since the earthquake damage has been mainly found in rural areas with slight damage or cracks in buildings. We still are waiting for news from the Uzbek border side.
8 on the MSK-64 scale refers to this :- (Medvedev-Sponheuer-Karnik scale) - VIII. Damaging Many people find it difficult to stand, even outdoors. Furniture may be overturned. Waves may be seen on very soft ground. Older structures partially collapse or sustain considerable damage. Newer constructions with slight damage. Large cracks and fissures opening up, rockfalls.
The important update below is the first testimony report which is fairly close to the epicenter.
Earthquake-Report.com short video based on the content from our own reporting
UPDATE 05:35 : Reuters is reporting that In Kadamzhai, a Kyrgyz city close to the epicentre, local resident Seitmurad Kozhoyev said by telephone that windows had been shattered and at least one multi-storey apartment block had been badly damaged. He said he was not aware of any casualties.
The important update below is the first testimony report which is fairly close to the epicenter.
IMPORTANT UPDATE 02:01 : Earthquake-Report.com has just received a Felt Report with a testimony from Margelan City in the Fergana Valley. It was MMI VI indicated (strong shaking).
Hi all, i just talked to my family in Fergana Province, Margilan City. They have said that it had suddenly started shaking around 12...My brother, his wife and their baby were in the bed, and the bed start shaking so strong that they couldn't get off and walk outside. They were describing that the house was moving from one side to another...they heard lots cracking sound..I think it's a concrete foundation of the house. Our home phone number is very similar to EMS, so people were dialing our number by mistake asking for help..they said they rec'd a lot of phone calls, and directed them to EMS of the city. Thanks god everybody in my family is safe.
Beck (Margelan City is approx. 40 km from the epicenter : ER)
Margilan City is located in 100km from Kyrgizstan border. It seems there were 2 shakes, first one is about 1-3 minutes, and and stopped for a bit, then started another one..which was longer. Within this break most of the people were able to come outside. According to my family, houses which weren't strong enough couldn't handled that earthquake. I'll find out more in a bit, and let you know.
UPDATE 01:35 : AFP is referring to a man in Och, a city in the Fergana valley, stating that "We were woken up by a noise and strong jolts which lasted for about 40 seconds. The house began to shake, I thought it was a dream, a nightmare. I went out in the street like my neighbours. Everyone is afraid, panicking. Och is still at a distance of 125 km and not representative for the epicenter area.
UPDATE 01:21 : Still no news from Uzbekistan or Kyrgyzstan or Tajikistan. We expect that it will take another 3 to 4 hours before the first reports will gradually arrive out of the epicenter area. We will keep you of course updated.
UPDATE 00:06 : USGS has only received felt reports from at least +100 km from the epicenter, mentioning an MMI V. EMSC closest report is 214 km from the epicenter.
UPDATE 20/07 - 00:03 : @ earthquake-report.com we do not like the fact that we get absolutely NO information from the epicenter area. No news neither from emergency services.
UPDATE 23:43 : The local press is talking only about Tashkent. No word on Fergana or the other towns and villages at risk.
UPDATE 23:13 : A lot of people in Tashkent are talking in Russian Internet social media about cracks in the wals of their apartment buildings.
UPDATE 23:07 : 1 hour and 10 minutes after the mainshock, a 4.4 magnitude aftershock shook the epicenter area again.
Experience report from Tashkent : We live in Tashkent in an apartment building on the second floor. The shaking was very badly. Vibrations with weak twitching, and then everything was shaking in the transverse direction. Horror.
UPDATE 22:57 : Favorable evolution in the outcome (although no news so far). USGS has recalculated the earthquake data and is reporting a 6.1 magnitude (originally 6.2) at a depth of 17.8 km (earlier 9.8 km). Both revisions will weaken the impact considerably, but the danger is still very much present (also at these lower numbers).
UPDATE 22:54 : Still NO news from the dangerous circle around the epicenter. The outcome of this earthquake will be the exact location of the epicenter. Closer to the valley damage will be considerable. More into the mountains there will be less shaking damage but the chance on big landslides is very much present.
UPDATE 22:52 : Local seismological reports are talking about a V MMI in Tashkent (+200 km from the epicenter).
UPDATE 22:50 : Uzbek sources are talking about a VI MMI (strong shaking) near the epicenter.
UPDATE 22:24 : Depending on the source and the places where the reports come from, the shaking lasted for 30 seconds to a minute, a very bad sign for the epicenter area.
UPDATE 22:22 : Houses are very vulnerable to earthquakes in this area of the world. They are mostly made of bricks and are mainly NOT earthquake resistant.
UPDATE 22:07 : Just like in Tashkent, also Fergana is out in panic on the streets. Everybody is afraid to go back into their houses. People are scared as they remember the catastrophic earthquake of 1966, which destroyed the city. Fergana is 42 km from the epicenter.
In Tashkent people are reporting cracks in their houses.
UPDATE 22:00 : We are now 2 hours 20 minutes after the earthquake hit, and so far NO news from the area most at risk during this earthquake. Earthquake-Report is especially interested in the 30 km radius.
UPDATE 21:57 : The people who should tell us what happened in a radius of 100 km around the epicenter are all in open air, scared for aftershocks. No word so far on electricity and the telephone network.
UPDATE 21:55 : Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan has also felt the earthquake very well. the sources there are mentioning that the shaking lasted for 30 seconds (very long time). Bishkek is located at 404 km from the epicenter.
UPDATE 21:47 : Until now we only see reports from Tashkent, too far away from the epicenter to find out the real damage of this earthquake.
UPDATE 21:38 : The earthquake was also felt in Almaty, Kazakhstan (566 km from the epicenter)
UPDATE 21:35 : Everybody is reporting that the shaking went on for long time, which is a bad sign for potential damage.
UPDATE 21:31 : Some EMSC felt reports from the greater earthquake area (we warn our readers that the real focus of this earthquake should go to a radius of max. 30 km around the epicenter.
Tashkent (Uzbekistan) (214 km NW from epicenter) : It was unusually long. Very long earthquake.
Talas (Kazakhstan) (294 km NW from epicenter) : My parents ran into my room and got me and my 9-month old son up. The floor was shaking and the furniture was trembling. We all rushed to the entrance door and stood under the door aperture for 5 min, being afraid of after-shock jerks. I couldn't stop my hands from shaking for these 5 min of waiting. Btw, my usually calm child was very restless and capricious 1 hour before the earthquake, could that be a coincidence?
UPDATE 21:20 : Russian correspondents living in Tashkent are reporting that almost 2 million people are on the streets of the Uzbek capital out of fear of powerful aftershocks. It is currently in the middle of the night in Tashkent.
UPDATE 21:20 : According to the seismic station in Tashkent, the epicenter of the earthquake was located in Kyrgyzstan near the Uzbek border, at a depth of less than 10 km.
UPDATE 21:12 : Uzbekistan media report that the Tashkent capital area and other felt the earthquake very strong. Reports are telling that the shaking lasted "quite long" . In Tashkent, the tremors woke most people. Many people ran into the street. In the houses chandeliers started swinging, car alarms went off and dogs were barking.s. The distance from the epicenter to Tashkent, where this report comes from is 225 km.
IMPORTANT UPDATE 21:11 : In 1822, some people were killed when a M6.2 earthquake struck at 40.3, 71.5 at shallow depth. The CATDAT median is thought to be around 55 dead as a result.
The CATDAT historical records tend to agree with the PAGER estimate, only if landslides were triggered will there be higher fatalities... given historical records.
UPDATE 21:09 : Of course all the Tashkent people remember back to the 1966 earthquake which destroyed much of Tashkent, despite the "very low" loss of life.... (one of the great unknown earthquakes due to government censoring). But of course that is far away from this earthquake.
UPDATE 21:08 : Awaiting more news from the earthquake area, CatDat is also telling us that 30km away in 1977, Damage reported at Oftobru and Isfara. Injuries. Maximum intensity VII to VIII (approx. the values expected today).
UPDATE 21:06 : CatDat is also telling us that a 5.5 Mb earthquake occurred around 10km away in 1982 and caused Light damage in the Sokh-Kuybyshevo region.
UPDATE 20:59 : Back in 838AD, 15000 people are said to have died to a massive earthquake at around the same epicentre, around Fergana.
Over 25 damaging earthquakes have occurred within an approximate 100km radius of this hypocentre through history. (James Daniell CatDat database)
UPDATE 20:56 : GFZ has done a lot of work in this area, and has lots of instrumentation, therefore we would put a lot of emphasis on their data, epicenter and focal depth (luckily they are the best we have seen so far). Click here to see the (far better) epicenter of GFZ (red arrow)
UPDATE 20:53 : Landslides are common with earthquakes in this area of the world.
UPDATE 20:46 : With these extremely dangerous earthquakes we are looking for better numbers to remain positive. We gave found the GEOFON numbers which are a little better tan the others. GFZ reports a depth of 27 km, which is a lot less dangerous than the 10 km depth from USGS and EMSC
UPDATE 20:46 : Relatively better (theoretical) calculations from USGS : PAGER says that there is a 91% chance of less than 100 deaths.
UPDATE 20:36 : We truly hope that the epicenter of USGS will be the final one, as it is below a mountain of 2,000 meters high. The valley with a lot of villages are at a height of 500 meter.
UPDATE 20:30 : On top of the VI MMI values for Oltiariq and Khaydarkan, we have to report the cruel MMI values for the smaller villages.
27 will experience a IX violent shaking
2,000 people a severe VIII shaking
65,000 a VII very strong shaking
1,055,000 a VI strong shaking
7,172,000 a Moderate V MMI shaking
UPDATE 20:25 : The earthquake has occurred in the border area of Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan
UPDATE 20:19 : WAPMERR a theoretical damage calculation engine has just reported some cruel numbers (which we truly hope will not become true) : ESTIMATE OF HUMAN LOSSES : Injured Exp. min/max: 1000/15000 ; Fatalities Exp. min/max: 500/8000
UPDATE 20:14 : Strong shaking expected in the following cities : Oltiariq 26,000 people, Khaydarkan 12,000 people
UPDATE 20:13 : Let us really hope that some early earthquake parameters are reported too strong, because the current looks to be extremely dangerous.
UPDATE 20:11 : The greater epicenter area is very populated.
UPDATE 20:09 : We fear for at least some serious damage iff the preliminary location of the epicenter would be confirmed.
UPDATE 20:06 : As the earthquake occurred at 01:35 , we are almost sure that electricity will be off and it will take a couple of hours before SAR (Search and Rescue forces) will be detached on the scene.
UPDATE : All seismological institutes are reporting a Magnitude of 6.2, but the shallow depth of only 10 km is our main concern.
An extremely dangerous shallow earthquake occurred in Kyrgyzstan at 01:35 AM.
The locations at HIGH RISK can be seen if you click on this map

Flutterby Wednesday is hosting an Open Challenge this week - Anything Goes as long as your creation has a butterfly or a fairy on it!
I've been going through my old stamp sets lately and have one of the first techniques I learned on my card today too - the chalkboard technique. I stamped the solid image of the butterfly with craft white ink on black cardstock. After I gave it a few minutes to dry, I colored over it randomly with my chalk pastels before stamping the butterfly outline over it. Then the sentiment is stamped directly onto the organdy ribbon.

ber_put_boolean, ber_put_bitstring, ber_start_seq, ber_start_set,
ber_put_seq, ber_put_set - OpenLDAP LBER simplified Basic Encoding
Rules library routines for encoding
OpenLDAP LBER (liblber, -llber)
#include <lber.h>
BerElement *ber_alloc_t(int options);
int ber_flush(Sockbuf *sb, BerElement *ber, int freeit);
int ber_flush2(Sockbuf *sb, BerElement *ber, int freeit);
int ber_printf(BerElement *ber, const char *fmt, ...);
int ber_put_int(BerElement *ber, ber_int_t num, ber_tag_t tag);
int ber_put_enum(BerElement *ber, ber_int_t num, ber_tag_t tag);
int ber_put_ostring(BerElement *ber, const char *str, ber_len_t len,
ber_tag_t tag);
int ber_put_string(BerElement *ber, const char *str, ber_tag_t tag);
int ber_put_null(BerElement *ber, ber_tag_t tag);
int ber_put_boolean(BerElement *ber, ber_int_t bool, ber_tag_t tag);
int ber_put_bitstring(BerElement *ber, const char *str, ber_len_t blen,
ber_tag_t tag);
int ber_start_seq(BerElement *ber, ber_tag_t tag);
int ber_start_set(BerElement *ber, ber_tag_t tag);
int ber_put_seq(BerElement *ber);
int ber_put_set(BerElement *ber);
These routines provide a subroutine interface to a simplified implemen-
tation of the Basic Encoding Rules of ASN.1. The version of BER these
routines support is the one defined for the LDAP protocol. The encod-
ing rules are the same as BER, except that only definite form lengths
are used, and bitstrings and octet strings are always encoded in primi-
tive form. This man page describes the encoding routines in the lber
library. See lber-decode(3) for details on the corresponding decoding
routines. Consult lber-types(3) for information about types, alloca-
tors, and deallocators.
Sockbuf implementation of the sb parameter. If the freeit parameter is
non-zero, the supplied ber will be freed. If LBER_FLUSH_FREE_ON_SUC-
CESS is used, the ber is only freed when successfully flushed, other-
wise it is left intact; if LBER_FLUSH_FREE_ON_ERROR is used, the ber is
only freed when an error occurs, otherwise it is left intact; if
LBER_FLUSH_FREE_ALWAYS is used, the ber is freed anyway. This function
differs from the original ber_flush(3) function, whose behavior corre-
sponds to that indicated for LBER_FLUSH_FREE_ON_SUCCESS. Note that in
the future, the behavior of ber_flush(3) with freeit non-zero might
change into that of ber_flush2(3) with freeit set to
The ber_printf() routine is used to encode a BER element in much the
same way that sprintf(3) works. One important difference, though, is
that some state information is kept with the ber parameter so that mul-
tiple calls can be made to ber_printf() to append things to the end of
the BER element. Ber_printf() writes to ber, a pointer to a BerElement
such as returned by ber_alloc_t(). It interprets and formats its argu-
ments according to the format string fmt. The format string can con-
tain the following characters:
b Boolean. An ber_int_t parameter should be supplied. A
boolean element is output.
e Enumeration. An ber_int_t parameter should be supplied. An
enumeration element is output.
i Integer. An ber_int_t parameter should be supplied. An
integer element is output.
B Bitstring. A char * pointer to the start of the bitstring is
supplied, followed by the number of bits in the bitstring. A
bitstring element is output.
n Null. No parameter is required. A null element is output.
o Octet string. A char * is supplied, followed by the length
of the string pointed to. An octet string element is output.
O Octet string. A struct berval * is supplied. An octet
string element is output.
s Octet string. A null-terminated string is supplied. An
octet string element is output, not including the trailing
NULL octet.
t Tag. A ber_tag_t specifying the tag to give the next element
is provided. This works across calls.
v Several octet strings. A null-terminated array of char *'s
is supplied. Note that a construct like '{v}' is required to
[ Begin set. No parameter is required.
] End set. No parameter is required.
The ber_put_int() routine writes the integer element num to the BER
element ber.
The ber_put_enum() routine writes the enumeration element num to the
BER element ber.
The ber_put_boolean() routine writes the boolean value given by bool to
the BER element.
The ber_put_bitstring() routine writes blen bits starting at str as a
bitstring value to the given BER element. Note that blen is the length
in bits of the bitstring.
The ber_put_ostring() routine writes len bytes starting at str to the
BER element as an octet string.
The ber_put_string() routine writes the null-terminated string (minus
the terminating ' ') to the BER element as an octet string.
The ber_put_null() routine writes a NULL element to the BER element.
The ber_start_seq() routine is used to start a sequence in the BER ele-
ment. The ber_start_set() routine works similarly. The end of the
sequence or set is marked by the nearest matching call to ber_put_seq()
or ber_put_set(), respectively.
Assuming the following variable declarations, and that the variables
have been assigned appropriately, an lber encoding of the following
ASN.1 object:
AlmostASearchRequest := SEQUENCE {
baseObject DistinguishedName,
scope ENUMERATED {
baseObject (0),
singleLevel (1),
wholeSubtree (2)
derefAliases ENUMERATED {
neverDerefaliases (0),
derefInSearching (1),
derefFindingBaseObj (2),
alwaysDerefAliases (3)
sizelimit INTEGER (0 .. 65535),
timelimit INTEGER (0 .. 65535),
attrsOnly BOOLEAN,
if ( ber == NULL ) {
/* error */
rc = ber_printf( ber, "{siiiib{v}}", dn, scope, ali,
size, time, attrsonly, attrs );
if( rc == -1 ) {
/* error */
} else {
/* success */
If an error occurs during encoding, generally these routines return -1.
The return values for all of these functions are declared in the
<lber.h> header file.

WASHINGTON — Two top Department of Veterans Affairs officials are stepping down, the beleaguered agency announced Wednesday as it continued reeling from complaints that thousands of veterans have endured long waits for appointments and poor medical care.
The agency said in a written statement that Will A. Gunn is resigning as general counsel. Also leaving a top post is Dr. Robert L. Jesse, who has been acting undersecretary for health.
The statement said the changes were "aimed at accelerating veterans' access to quality health care and rebuilding the trust of America's veterans."
Acting VA Secretary Sloan Gibson made the moves less than a month after he replaced Eric Shinseki as head of the agency. Shinseki resigned May 30 after apologizing for the agency's problems.
"What Gibson is trying to do is bring people in who he thinks will be as responsive as possible," said Senate Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.
Jesse has been acting undersecretary for health since May 16, when Robert Petzel resigned under pressure months before he was set to retire. He was principal deputy undersecretary for health since 2010, and has a medical degree and a Ph.D. in biophysics.
Gunn, a retired Air Force colonel and military lawyer, has been VA general counsel since May 2009.
For weeks, the VA has been under scrutiny of investigations and congressional hearings.
Just this week, the Office of Special Counsel — an independent investigative agency — found "a troubling pattern of deficient patient care" that it said VA officials were aware of but downplayed. That included canceled appointments with no follow up, contaminated drinking water and improper handling of surgical equipment.
Investigators have also said many patients faced long waits for treatment, including some who died while on waiting lists. And they said that some officials created fictitious appointment lists to cover up lengthy delays.
The VA said Dr. Carolyn Clancy will become its interim undersecretary for health. Clancy has been at VA since last August, serving as an assistant deputy undersecretary for health.
"Dr. Clancy will be charged with the department's top priority — getting veterans off of wait lists and in to see their doctors," Gibson said.
He said Clancy will also lead the search for "immediate national reforms to accelerate access to care and restore trust among our veterans."
Tammy Kennedy, VA's principal deputy general counsel, will be acting general counsel after Gunn's July 3 departure.

Welcome to the home of
The Alaskan Independence Party
For ALL Media contact. Please contact Lynette Clark, Alaskan Independence Party Chair
Was Alaskan Statehood a Fraud?
2012 Convention needs workers, please contact Lynette Clark for more information.
We are the only Alaskan political party that is entirely composed of Alaskans, staffed by Alaskans and financed by Alaskans. We are not affiliated with any political party on a National level. We believe and hold a firm footing in the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and following the Constitution of the United States and Alaska. We are a States' Rights party, as is reflected in the AIP Platform. We stand on a firm Constitutional foundation. The continual growth of membership of the Alaskan Independence Party has created one of the largest third parties in the United States. Join us as we lead Alaska to the Prosperity, Freedom and Liberty that Alaskans expect, deserve and should enjoy. We look forward to your membership!
There is a commonly held belief across Alaska, that the US Constitution has been set aside, and other then ourselves, there are no protections to the liberty and freedoms we are to have as our continued inheritance since the formation of the Union of the "several States". Our main "goal" is a legal vote and ballot; one that was not given in 1958 and was in violation of International Law and Treaty. Alaskan were robbed of the choices we were to have as a non-self-governing territory, and steam-rolled into the current classification of a State. The Native population of Alaska, in a large percentage, did not even receive a ballot because of the Federal Voting Rights Act in place, at the time requiring the ability to read and write English, and for the first time in any Statehood vote of a Territory entering this "Union", the military and their of age dependents, through a special act of the US Congress, were allowed access to the Statehood ballot. Then, as today, corruption abounds. The US government is far and away outside the bounds placed on it by the 9th and 10th amendments and is operating illegally for all .
The AIP was proud to support Bob Bird for the Senate of the United States. For more information you can visit his web site www.birdforsenate.com. We also supported Don Wright, running for the U.S. House of Representatives. His contact information can be found on our Links page. Both men took over 4% of the Alaskan Vote which worked out to over 13,000 votes.
The Alaskan Independence Party can be summed up in just two words:
Until we as Alaskans attain our Ultimate Goal, the AIP will continue to strive to make Alaska a better place to live with less government interference in our everyday lives.
1) Remain a Territory.The call for this vote is in furtherance of the dream of the Alaskan Independence Party's founding father, Joe Vogler, which was for Alaskans to achieve independence under a minimal government, fully responsive to the people, promoting a peaceful and lawful means of resolving differences.
2) Become a separate and Independent Nation.
3) Accept Commonwealth status.
4) Become a State.

Rihanna - Russian Roulette
Uploaded by Rihanna.
Take a breath, take it deep
Calm yourself, he says to me
If you play, you play for keeps
Take a gun, and count to three
I'm sweating now, moving slow
No time to think, my turn to go
And you can see my heart beating You can see it through my chest And I'm terrified but I'm not leaving Know that I must pass this test So just pull the trigger
Say a prayer to yourself
He says close your eyes
Sometimes it helps
And then I get a scary thought
That he's here means he's never lost
As my life flashes before my eyes
I'm wondering will I ever see another sunrise?
So many won't get the chance to say goodbye
But it's too late too pick up the value of my life...
