Coast Guard presents concerns

WASHINGTON — Citing broad gaps in U.S. intelligence, the Coast Guard raised concerns weeks ago that it could not determine whether a United Arab Emirates-based company seeking a stake in some U.S. port operations might support terrorist operations.
The disclosure came during a hearing Monday on Dubai-owned
DP World's plans to assume significant operations at six leading U.S. ports.
It also clouded whether the Bush administration's agreement to conduct an unusual investigation into the pending takeover's security risks would allay lawmakers' concerns.
The administration said the Coast Guard's concerns were raised during its review of the deal, which it approved Jan.17, and that all those
questions were resolved. Londonbased Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Co. now handles the port operations.
"There are many intelligence gaps, concerning the potential for DPW or P&O assets to support terrorist operations, that precludes an overall threat assessment" of the potential merger, an unclassified Coast Guard intelligence assessed said.
threats against a large number of potential vulnerabilities," said the halfpage assessment. Officials said it was an unclassified excerpt from a larger document.
In a statement, the Coast Guard said the concerns reflected in the excerpt ultimately were addressed and that other U.S. intelligence agencies answered the questions raised.
"The breadth of the intelligence gaps also infer potential unknown

"For anybody that was in a picture, it was open season that they'd get written up," he said.
"In general, we only respond to things that are reported to us." she said.
Griffith said that as his punishment he had to read an article online and write a paper to give to the scholarship hall director.
Wamelink said students are first given an opportunity for a hearing if they choose to do so, before any decisions are made regarding responsibility for the violation and consequences. Students in residence halls other than the scholarship halls have not gotten in trouble because of facebook.com pictures, she said.
The deadline for the paper and the presentation is before spring break.
He also has to give an hour-long presentation about the alcohol policy, in which he needs to get 10 residents to attend the meeting.

Since the inception of H.O.M.E.B.A.S.E., which stands for "Healthy Options for Movement, Exercise, Body Acceptance and Savvy Eating," in 2001, the group has aimed to increase awareness about the importance of body appreciation and the dangers of eating disorders.
While this week represents a good opportunity for H.O.M.E.B.A.S.E. to advocate its mission on campus, Chapman said a campus-wide, long-term program would work best in achieving the group's goals.
"One week is not going to change behavior in a dramatic way." Chapman said.
The Better Bites program, established to identify healthy choices in campus dining facilities, was one of the first programs H.O.M.E.B.A.S.E. launched.
Joni Warner, president of H.O.M.E.B.A.S.E. and Wichita junior, said she joined the task force her freshman year to promote healthy eating.
Now, she said the challenge is getting students to realize the resources H.O.M.E.B.A.S.E. has to offer.
This week will allow the organization to educate students about its mission, Warner said.
