WASHINGTON, May 31 — After vowing to steer a greater share of antiterrorism money to the highest-risk communities, Department of Homeland Security officials on Wednesday announced 2006 grants that slashed money for New York and Washington 40 percent, while other cities including Omaha and Louisville, Ky., got a surge of new dollars.

Homeland security officials said the grants were a result of a more sophisticated evaluation process

[King Prout]

hard to tell.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Considering I went back to bed for a couple of hours, I'd call it the last post...

GM, Bob.

i turned off the PC & "hit the sheets" before i saw this post of yours.

and i'm still "whipped" this AM. "assembling/moving office furniture" over at the embassy, at nearly 60YO, really "took it out of" me, yesterday. 12+ hours of that "fun & games" was TOO much for "these old bones", i guess. i hurt in "places", that i didn't know "i had places".(chuckle)

First or last?

Answer: both and neither simultaneously.

I used to live in a town called Ben Lomond (and yes, the reservoir nearby was named Loch Lomond). But it was a little weird -- Ben Lomond was at the bottom of a valley, it should have been Glen Lomond. ("Ben" is from Gaelic "beann": mountain, "glen" from "gleann", valley.)

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Yep. I knew that much gaelic but it's good to let the unwary know when they are being snookered!

I saw a photo of the Scots Ben Lomond, and if you get the angle right, my Ben Lomond looks a good bit like the other...it was named because of that resemblance. Wonder if someone was homesick?

[sionnsar]

It's quite likely. There's a story we learned in Gaelic class from the time of the Clearances -- of a shipload of Gaels that burst into tears when they reached Nova Scotia, because it looked so much like home.

Funny. Right next to "my" Ben Lomond (where I started learning pipes, btw), on the top of the ridge/hill/mountain, was the community of Bonny Doon. But Doon is a river in Scotland.
