Alvin Frame-Grabber : Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Alvin is a research DSV owned by the US Navy and operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The frame-grabber has dives listed (many with pictures) as far back as 1988. Alvin's been operating in the Gulf of Mexico within the past couple of months. I put this up here after reading a story discussing the recovery of the undersea environment/oil degradation after BP's blowout in the Gulf last year. Seems that the oil didn't get consumed by microbes as much as expected/reported...
Here's the Gulf Oil Blog. It's maintained by the University of Georgia marine science team that was researching the oil plumes from the failed well.

Fear and politics - Watson - Government secrecy related sites - Belle Chevre
The use of fear as a campaign tactic/political tool is not limited to one party nor is it a new thing. via archive.org
Go Watson.
Much debate has been given to secrecy and secrecy policy in the wake of WikiLeaks in the past several months. Lest we forget, there are some other great sites out there:
The National Security Archive - The FAS Project on Government Secrecy - Cryptome
In closing, here's a shameless plug. Check out Belle Chevre. In and around Huntsville, a selection of their products can be found at Publix, Earth Fare and Costco. There might be other places, but these are the ones I know for sure...
