Oh, good, finally, a voice of reason.

Now that you're here, we can get this group cleaned up, and back on
topic!

Iraq Car Bomb Kills American Activist

SAN FRANCISCO (April 17) - A woman who founded a humanitarian group to aid
civilian casualties in Iraq has died in a car bombing in Baghdad, officials
said Sunday.

Maria Ruzicka's latest mission was to help families of civilian victims make
claims against the U.S. military.

Marla Ruzicka, founder of Campaign for Innocent Victims in Conflict, died
Saturday in the blast, which also killed an Iraqi and another foreigner,
officials said. She had been in Iraq conducting door-to-door surveys trying
to determine the number of civilian casualties in the country.

Ruzicka, 28, founded CIVIC in 2003 to "mitigate the impact of the conflict
and its aftermath on the people of Iraq by ensuring that timely and
effective life-saving assistance is provided to those in need," according to
the group's Web site.

Ruzicka's parents said Sunday they were notified of her death just hours
after the explosion. U.S. Embassy officials publicly released Ruzicka's name
Sunday.

"We've been very worried about her but we know better than to tell our
children not to do anything. We were supportive and just reminded her to be
careful," said her mother, Nancy Ruzicka, of Lakeport.

She said her daughter had left her a telephone message the night before her
death that said, "Mom and dad, I love you. I'm OK."

"She cared about people and gave people her love and help," Nancy Ruzicka
said. "I'll remember the love she spread around the world and the good
ambassador that she was for her country."

Ruzicka got her start working for non-governmental organizations 10 years
ago at the San Francisco-based human rights group Global Exchange.

"It's a terrible tragedy and a tragic irony that somebody who devoted her
life to helping the victims of war would herself become a victim of war,"
said Medea Benjamin, the group's director.

Hi, you must be new to rec.scuba. Welcome.

And, pretty much open to whatever the regulars want to discuss.
About the only thing a majority agree should not be posted are those of a
commercial nature (spam).

The way newsgroups work, is that someone posts something, and another person
replies, and others reply to that, etc.
If y'arent interested in something, feel free to ignore the thread(s).
By responding, you're nearly guaranteed a response too - particularly if
folks see yu playing newsgroup cop over something thats been discussed to
repeatedly. But what the heck, we can flog that dead pony some more.

Here are a few other dead ponys who may be worthy of some additional
attention
a) use of spare air for bailout.
b) DIR vs stroke vs Stroke vs Team 3.
c) the decline in training standards.

Feel free to start a thread on any of the above, or anything else scuba
related (or not).
If its worthy, folks will reply. If not, they won't.
