.Mac users get Bookmarks service, new Backup, more
2003.07.09 . .
.Mac keeps getting better and better. I'm happy with the service so far.
Apple's .Mac subscription service has introduced .Mac Bookmarks, which lets you take your Safari bookmarks with you when you travel. Apple has also updated its Backup application that can be used with a .Mac account. To use .Mac Bookmarks, you'll need Safari 1.0 and the iSync utility (version 1.1). With the combination, you can keep your bookmarks in sync so they stay up to date while you're on the road. .Mac Bookmarks provides a surfer window via which your bookmarks open on any Internet-connected computer. You can use it on your home or work Mac, but according to Apple, you can also use it at such places as an Internet cafe. Change your bookmarks, and they'll be synchronized across multiple Macs and on the Web. [MacCentral]
CORAL SEX!

CORAL's Volunteer Network: Join the Project Reef Spawn Expedition at the Flower Garden Banks
(August 18 - 22, 2003)
Each year for the past several years, teams of volunteer divers have made the most memorable night dive of their lives. Coincidentally, all on the same night! As part of the Project Reef Spawn dive team, these divers were all in the water the one night each year the primary reef-building corals in the hemisphere spawned.
This year, volunteer dive teams will again conduct three nights of intensive night dives, at the same time, from the Bahamas to Roatan, to photograph and document what they see. Since it’s only been seen a few times in history, this is a chance for you to discover something unknown to scientists. Each year, our divers discover a new species spawning, or different effects of this natural phenomenon on reef marine life. Since spawning was witnessed at the Flower Gardens first in 1990, this is the project base expedition.
The Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary is found approximately 110 miles southeast of Freeport, Texas in the Gulf of Mexico. These Banks were created when salt domes rose from the Gulf floor forming peaks called seamounts. The peaks rise to within 60 feet of the waters surface. Thanks to the clear, warm waters, coral grew making the Banks the northernmost coral reef in the Western Hemisphere. This is an incredibly unique ecosystem with huge colonies of stony corals, schools of pelagic fish, and larger than normal reef fish species. Mantas, whale sharks and even schooling hammerheads visit the Banks at different times of the year.
The M V Sea Searcher is a 95’ liveaboard with space for 18 divers in small rooms with four bunks per room. Once aboard, your gear stays set up and fills are accomplished with hoses run to your gear. All meals and snacks are included and are delicious, home-style fare eaten in the galley or on the sun deck. This is a comfortable, stable and practical liveaboard with few frills but perfect for scientific expeditions. The Sea Searcher will also visit Stetson Banks, another unique seamount and offers the opportunity to dive on the famous Gulf of Mexico oil rigs as well.
When: August 18 - 22, 2003
Accommodations: SeaSearcher II has a small but air conditioned, comfortable bunk rooms, and great food. Overnight at a small comfortable motel in Freeport (double occupancy) on August 22nd.
Cost: $1,045.00 ($995.00 without transportation and over night accommodations on August 22nd.)

random interview bits
2003.07.09 . .
Coming soon to iceplant radio. Random interview bits from Aimée's digital bin. Stay tuned... I'll let you know when I throw them into rotation.
Aimée interviews so many interesting people, I'm always excited when one of her uncut pieces gets thrown into the mix on iTunes random play because suddenly you are listening to fascinating, focused yet unpolished work. Think about it. Most often, you are presented with the finished piece. Not here! Not on iceplant radio! We give you the stuff you don't get on the other radio stations. The un-finished product.
I'm so excited about this programming decision that right now I'm going to throw on some interviews that Aimée left on the iPod from her July 4th special edition of Making Contact, 'Code Red: Status of the Constitution' so tune in.
Oceana
2003.07.09 . .
I plucked Oceana randomly from the International Directory of Coral Reef Organizations for posting to The CORAL Report. I'll be doing this kind of thing more often to alert myself and others to many of the organizations listed in CORAL's online database.
Oceana is an international advocacy organization with the sole purpose of protecting the oceans to sustain our circle of life. We bring together dedicated people from around the world, creating an international movement to save the world's oceans through public policy advocacy, science and economics, legal action, grassroots mobilization, and public education.
Did you know....
2003.07.09 . .
Although they occupy less than 1 percent of the ocean floor, coral reefs are home to more than 25 percent of all marine organisms.

"Radio Mobilizing Communities"
Over the past several decades radio has played a vital role in informing and mobilizing communities around the world. On this edition, we'll hear about street children in India making and broadcasting their own radio shows in the marketplace, and a Native American-run radio station at the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. We'll also take a look at micro-radio. Proponents won the right in 2000 to have low-powered community stations in the United States.
Featuring: Rita Panicker, founder of Butterflies Street and Working Children in India; Sunil Kumar, head of the Butterflies Media Project; Esan and Pappu, street kids living in Delhi; Charles Aboureszk, KILI Radio News Director and Aboureszk Law Firm; Ron Walters, Native American Journalists' Association; Pete TriDish, Media Activist, Prometheus Radio Project
