Red Snapper Plentiful as Fall Season Closes
October 17, 2013
By DAVID RAINER
Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources
The final day of the special fall red snapper season yielded the expected results – plenty of big snapper hitting the docks in Orange Beach.
Because the 14-day season ended on a Monday, the number of boats that were booked for the final day was understandably modest. However, the previous three days were bonanzas for the marinas and charter services along the Alabama Gulf Coast.
"This past Saturday we had 48 trips, just out of here," said Tom Steber, general manager of Zeke's Landing Marina in Orange Beach. "From Friday through Sunday, we ran about 120 trips.
"This weekend was better than any weekend we had this summer."
The first week of the fall season was not what anglers had hoped. Tropical Storm Karen formed in the Gulf of Mexico and wreaked havoc on the scheduled trips for almost a week.
"The first week we had 16 trips because of the storm," Steber said. "It's all weather. This time of year is the best time to fish. Plus, the last weekend we had the Shrimp Festival, which is a big factor. I wish we had about five more of those weekends."
Despite running on just a few hours of sleep because of the busy weekend, Capt. Jason Vickers watched as deckhand Kyle Partain pulled big snapper after big snapper out of the ice box on the Legacy's stern.
"The fall snapper bite is always great," Vickers said. "This year we had the opportunity to take advantage of it. The main difference this year, as compared to last year, is we got to keep the fish. I guess it's the lower water temperature that makes the fish a little more aggressive than in the summer.
"We lost the first weekend because of the storm that thankfully wasn't much. It did make it rough offshore. But we ran the last six days, so we ended with a good week of fishing."
Another bonus about the fall red snapper season is that anglers were also able to keep amberjack and triggerfish. The triggerfish season, however, ended at 12:01 a.m. on October 15.
"That was like the old days," Vickers said. "It was fun. It was great for customers. I just hate to see it end."
But that doesn't mean Vickers is going to stop fishing.
"Snapper fishing is not the only thing that's good in the fall," he said. "Amberjack, vermilion snapper, grouper, everything is going to get better and better every week. Even when the hard cold fronts come through, if you can get a good weather day, you can catch plenty of fish."
Capt. Sonny Alawine, who runs the Intruder, echoed Vickers' assessment of the fishing.
"When you could get out there, the fishing was great," Alawine said. "There's plenty of fish out there, and they were biting. It's like it always is this time of year, except we had some business because people knew they could keep a red snapper."
Orange Beach's reputation as the Red Snapper Capital of the World still affects the charter business, according to Alawine.
"When you don't have tourists down here, people come to go fishing," he said. "When they know they can't keep something they like to eat, they're not going to come. If the weather had been good, we would have probably fished all 14 days.
"If we hadn't been able to catch snapper, we wouldn't have had a trip today (the last day). Most of the people were local, and the reason they went was because they could keep two red snapper."
Alawine said the charter fleet is just "barely getting by" because of the short red snapper season and its timing.
"It would really be better for us with the limited number of days if we had the main snapper season in May," he said. "You have your tourists here in June and July where you can go catch some type of fish. The fishing is better for other species then, so they're happy.
"We used to book 20-22 days in May when we could catch snapper, and we just don't do that any more. School is not out, so it's not tourists. People just come then to go snapper fishing. The real snapper fishermen have a hard time booking in June because of all the tourists, who may not even know what a snapper is."
Capt. Ben Fairey, who has been a mainstay on the Alabama coast at the helm of Necessity, said the fall snapper season confirmed what he suspected about the consequences of such a short season in the summer, when everybody with a Gulf-ready boat tries to catch snapper as often as possible.
"To me, inside of 20 miles, you can see that there was a fair amount of effort," Fairey said. "The fish weren't biting nearly as good. Outside of 20 miles, the fishing is still good and the size is still good. There are still a ton of fish out there. With such a short season, close in gets beat up pretty good."
Fairey has been one of the members of the Orange Beach Fishing Association to try to gain relief from the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council, which sets seasons and creel limits in federal waters in the Gulf. He's not optimistic about a solution that will help the charter industry survive.
"At this point, I don't see anything good happening right now," he said. "Florida still has another week of season in state waters because of their 9-mile limit. With our 3-mile limit, we don't have any snapper fishing in state waters."
Now that the fall snapper season has ended, Fairey said he has two more Saturdays booked for the rest of the year.
As it turns out, the 2013 fall snapper season was the last hoorah for Fairey, to a certain extent.
"To tell you the truth, this is our last year as a multi-passenger vessel," he said. "The owner of the boat and I have decided it's time to step back. We're converting this boat into a six-passenger vessel, and I will not fish nearly as much as I have been.
"I'll turn 63 next year, and it's time to slow up. I've been very fortunate that I have an owner who agrees with me. Having to fish on a lot of rough days, it's time for that to come to an end. If it was where we were making money, it might be different. For 60 days out of the year, we're busy. The rest of the time, we're not. It just doesn't make good business sense to keep doing it."
Fairey said the economics also don't make sense for customers whose main goal is to keep fish to eat, which is why many charter captains are trying to sell the "experience" of fishing in the Gulf more than what can be consumed later.
"We charge $1,800 for seven people," he said. "Today (the last day) we caught probably 50 snapper and kept 14. When you think about it, those snapper cost over $100 apiece. Snapper fishermen are having a hard time dealing with that."

Anglers on the Legacy not only caught a limit of nice red snapper but added a couple of amberjacks as bonuses to the charter's catch.

PLATTSBURGH — Despite a 28-21 halftime lead, the Clinton Community College women's basketball team was unable to overcome a plethora of turnovers in a 56-49 loss to Jefferson Community College Thursday.
Thirty turnovers and late foul trouble plagued the Cougars.
"We just came out flat," Clinton coach Donna Dixon said. "We allowed them to take 32 shots from the foul line throughout. We need to learn how to keep composure and move our feet on defense.
"(Emily Decker) played great and shot well from the floor. We need to do some things better."
Decker and Alisha Ducatte led all scorers with 18 and 13 points, respectively.

It was a good day on Monday for our weekly Evergreen Outreach meeting – not a cloud in the sky. We welcomed everyone with music, smiles and handshakes. All signs of good friendship.
Our refreshments gave us time to get re-acquainted, since for some it has been a couple of weeks since we've seen each other. We sang "Happy Birthday" to John Bollinger, and Randy Schukar gave us an update on his mom, Katy, who is in the hospital. We will pray for her.

The National Academy of Sciences Transportation Research Board released "Driving and the Built Environment," a study of the potential impacts of increasing density on carbon dioxide levels. (A very useful summary can be found here.) The results, as I told USA Today in an article reporting on the study's release, are underwhelming, to say the least.
According to the analysis in the report, if we funnel 75 percent of future land use into higher density settings--effectively doubling current regional population densities--we might reduce carbon emissions by 11 percent. But, the chances of that happening are so remote they almost aren't even worth considering. Anthony Downs, one of the study's coauthors, said as much and is quoted in a report on the study's release by Technology Review.
One of the study's authors doubts whether major increases in housing density are even possible. "I think the 75 percent figures are completely unrealistic," says Anthony Downs of the Brookings Institution. "Twenty-five percent is much closer to realistic and that may even be high. Nationally we've had no increase in housing density in the last 30 years; I don't see that reversing."
A more moderate scenario that assumes about 25 percent of replacement housing is built in high density settings suggest CO2 emissions will fall by about 1 percent. That's probably more plausible. But even this estimate may be high short of planning policies that dramatically restrict suburban development using acreage of one quarter of an acre or more for new housing.
But this assumes these studies are reliable. The TRB report points out that most of the studies examining the relationship between land use and transportation are weak and lack methodological consistency.
While many proponents of Smart Growth, including draconian policies such as urban growth boundaries that explicitly limit land available for development to force higher densities, believe the study vindicates their position, it doesn't. While the research shows that higher densities in the right place and with the right uses can reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT), this is a very blunt industry if the goal is to influence carbon emissions (and climate change).
It's not land use per se that produces carbon emissions; it's the fuel for the technology we use to get from place to place, heat our homes, and run the conveniences of life. The most direct and efficient way to reduce carbon emissions is to replace the fuel technology, not limit housing or transportation choices, or force people into "second best" alternatives.

Fast cars, legendary race tracks, and Jeremy Clarkson, oh my! Forza Motorsport 4 is here. Is the latest racing sim from developer Turn 10 worth it? If we can get The Stig to stop talking we'll get to the review.
Forza Motorsport 4 does not have a story. The closest it comes is the World Tour mode where you work your way through various races in a "season."
Controls and Gameplay
The controls for Forza Motorsport 4 are the same as they were for previous Forza games, with one slight change. The "rewind" feature during a race has been moved from the "Back" button to the "Y" button. The "Back" button now cycles through your different viewing choices.
While most of the game is played with the controller, a big control change is the integration of Kinect. In the main parts of the game (Career Mode, Freeplay, Online, etc.) you use the controller for racing while the Kinect optionally tracks your head for the cockpit view. You have to sit so the game can register your head, which is easily done. Once set, when using the cockpit view, you can turn your head and look around the interior of the car. The Kinect's microphones also come into use for navigating menus quickly with the mention of key words.
Forza Motorsport 4 also has section that allows you to play using the Kinect without the controller. to race you simply hold out your hands like you are gripping a steering wheel (at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions) and steer, the game handles acceleration and breaking for you.
The heart of Forza Motorsport 4's gameplay is racing, plain and simple. That said there is a lot to do. In the career mode you have World Tour, Event List, and Rivals. The World Tour has you globetrotting around the world from track to track in different races. If you want a little more control over which races you drive in you can go to the Event List and select whatever tickles your fancy. In Rivals various race events are presented to you with your friends, and others close to your skill level, posted times for you to try to beat. Choose a Rivals event and a "ghost" of car the person you are up against will be downloaded to race against. Beat them and not only do you get the credits for the event, but you also earn a bounty of extra credits. Not to mention the bragging rights of beating your friends.
Online you can compete in all sorts of races and games. The games include versions of Tag, "Cat & Mouse," and even Soccer all done in cars. Turn 10 has upped the number of players per race too from 8 to 16, so more motor mayhem for you.
Autovista mode allows you to virtually walk around a car can find out various facts about it. You can open the hood, trunk, and even the doors, and then climb into the car and sit behind the wheel. Inside you can learn even more facts and even "turn the key" to hear the actual roar of the engine. You can also listen to Jeremy Clarkson from BBC show Top Gear give his opinion on the car you are looking at. All of this can be done with the controller or if you want a little bit of "realism" you can do it with the Kinect and "walk" around a car.
Free Play has: Quick Race, allowing you to set up a race outside your "career"; Split Screen, where two players can race against each other on the same system; and Hot Lap where you can race by yourself to set your fastest lap time.
As you can see there is a lot you can do and that's just scratching the surface. I haven't even talked about the tuning, painting, and customizing your own vinyl art on the cars and more.
Graphics and Sound
While it would have been easy for Turn 10 to take Forza 3, add some nice window dressing and call it a day they didn't. Instead they started from scratch for Forza 4. Graphically they increased the amount of polygons on the cars to make them look even more realistic. They did the same thing with the tracks giving everything a familiar, but fresh look.
The sound was also redone. Turn 10 got the actual engine sounds for each car, so they sound as they should, from the low rumble of a classic Detroit muscle car, to the high rev whine of a Japanese drift racer. Interestingly they used a Tesla Roadster, as it has very little engine noise and no exhaust noise, to get all the tire sounds and straight clean tire squeals.
On my review of Forza Motorsport 3 I said it was on par with the de facto racing sim Gran Turismo, now I think there might be a new king. Forza Motorsport 4 is that good. Turn 10's decision to rebuild from scratch allowed them to focus on everything that worked well in past Forzas and make it better.
The ability for a person of any skill level to be able to pick up a controller, pick a car, race, and have fun is something that Turn 10 seem to have perfected. The game also helps you become better. They added rating system that gives you instant feedback on how well you perform certain skills. In turns for example, a little set of four boxes fades in, one box filled in means you went through the turn poorly, all four filled in means your took it perfectly. This same rating system is used for drifting, passing, and going flat out on straight-aways.
One really nice thing Turn 10 did is have Forza 4 be able to read your save file from Forza 3. When Forza 4 first does this it will import certain special cars and a portion of credits based on how much you had in Forza 3. It also allows you to import vinyl groups you created in Forza 3, so you don't have to spend hours recreating that cool design you made.
Another great highlight is teaming up with Top Gear. Not only do we get Jeremy Clarkson's opinions on select cars, but we get to race around the Top Gear test track. You can even create your own "Star in a Reasonably Priced Car" moment.
Social elements have also been integrated by allowing you to create or join a Car Club. This lets you compare times, scores, and rivalries easier, but there are other benefits too. A Car Club has a communal garage that allows members to share cars. Say you don't have enough credits to buy the Bugatti Veyron, but you really want race it in a World Tour event. If a fellow club member has added his Veyron to the garage you can "borrow" it.
The Kinect integration is really nicely done. While I prefer racing in a third person view, the headtracking in cockpit view is really fun, making it feel closer to really driving. I can see this working really well for players that own a driving wheel. Meanwhile I like how Turn 10 handled driving with Kinect and controller free. It's a lot of fun, but I wish they have some way of adding the ability to control acceleration and break yourself. I would say it felt like a very well polished tech demo, a look into something for future versions of Forza.
The list goes on and on of things they tweaked or added (more tracks, including the Indianapolis 500 Speedway, AI now has four selectable levels of difficulty now instead of 3,and more). I could write a book on it all and it would all be good. In fact I can think of only one piddly little fault. They did not include the hilarious Autovista review that Jeremy Clarkson did of the Warthog from Halo. Which reminds me of one other fault, too few cars in Autovista. There are a lot of cool and classic cars in Forza Motorsport 4 (Over 500 cars total) and while I know it would get repetitive after a bit (and does anyone really want an Autovista of a 1970 Datsun 510?), it would be nice to see more rare cars in it.
Like I said I could go on, but bottom line is Forza Motorsport 4 crosses the finish line first with a perfect 5 out of 5. I am The Stig and I approve this game.
Forza Motorsport 4 is rated E for Everyone by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB). It is available now exclusively for the Xbox 360. For more information see the Forza Motorsport 4 web site.

The late Northwest harvest season brings us gorgeous local chiles, green beans, stunning basil and a rainbow of sweet peppers. All of those star in this aromatic and beautiful dish. I have been creating seasonal southeast Asian curries since I first started in the restaurant business, (just a few, okay maybe more than a few) years ago, and they remain at the top of my list of essential recipes. You'll be amazed at the complexity of flavors created by the combination of these relatively simple ingredients.
(Serves 4-6)
12-16 thin green beans, trimmed and cut in half on the diagonal
3 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil (divided)
1/2 yellow onion, peeled and cut into julienne strips
1 small red bell pepper, seeded and cut in julienne strips
1 pound medium raw prawns, peeled and deveined, tails removed
1/4 cup (or to taste depending on spiciness) curry paste (recipe below)
1 can (14.5 ounces) organic coconut milk
2 cups baby spinach leaves (or substitute any tender leafy green, cut into bite sized pieces)
10-18 basil leaves, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro leaves
Fish sauce or soy sauce to taste
Squeeze fresh lime
Sprigs of cilantro for garnish
Blanch the green beans in boiling salted water for about 4 minutes. Refresh in cold water and drain.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a wok or sauté pan over medium high heat. Add the onions, beans and red bell pepper and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion are crisp-tender. Add the prawns and stir-fry for 2 minutes more or until the prawns turn lightly pink. Make a well in the center, add the remaining oil and stir in the curry paste. Cook for a minute or so to bloom the flavors of the curry. Stir in the coconut milk, spinach or leafy greens, basil and cilantro. Season generously with the fish sauce and lime juice and gently heat through.
Serve over steamed jasmine rice. Garnish with cilantro and lime wedges.
Green Curry Paste:
1 cup loosely packed seeded and diced green chiles, (see note)
1/4 cup cilantro
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 2-inch piece fresh lemon grass, thinly sliced
5 garlic cloves
1 shallot, finely minced
1 teaspoon finely chopped kaffir lime leaves or regular lime zest
2 teaspoons anchovy paste (optional)
1 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor and pulse to grind to a coarse paste.
Note: The type of chile you choose will dictate the level of heat in your curry. In this country Mexican chiles are most widely available. Choose Habanero, Serrano and Jalapeno for more heat. Choose Pasillas or even Anaheim for a milder curry. (Or mix and match to your taste.)

Breaker Morant, one of the most acclaimed Australian films, was screened in competition at the 1980 Cannes Festival and won best supporting actor as well as many other honors, including the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Film and 10 Australian Oscar equivalents. Based on a famous incident in Australian history, Henry "Breaker" Morant was an Englishman living in Australia at the end of the 19th century. When the Boer war broke out in 1899 between Britain and the descendants of Dutch colonists, Morant and a number of Australians volunteer for duty in South Africa. What follows becomes the content for one of the most powerful films ever made on both war and military justice -- a story that continues to recur in our own time. One of the two most requested films on last year's film series evaluations.

Just weeks after one of the worst cases of animal abuse in the state came to light in the case of "Puppy Doe," lawmakers plan to file legislation today to create a first-of-its kind registry of convicted pet abusers in Massachusetts, the Boston Herald is reporting this morning.
The legislation would list all those convicted of animal cruelty in the Bay State, and would be loosely modeled on the state's Sex Offender Registry to help keep pets out of dangerous hands, according to the Herald report.
"Puppy Doe," was a young adult female dog found Aug. 31 in Quincy. When found, she weighed less than half what a normal, healthy dog her size should. She was starved, beaten and tortured, and due to the extent of her injuries she could not be saved by veterinarians. She was likely 1 to 2 years old.
House Bill S. 807, sponsored by Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr, seeks to establish and maintain a central, computerized registry of those convicted of an animal abuse crime.
The Animal Abuse Registry would be updated with information from the Department of Criminal Information Services, and would include: the offender's name, residential address, date and description of the crime which required registration and a photograph of the offender.
Any Massachusetts resident 18 or older, tried as an adult and convicted of an animal abuse crime would need to register within 10 days of either the date of judgment or date of release from prison. Out of state residents convicted of an animal abuse crime who move to Massachusetts would need to register in the first 10 days of living in the state.According to the Boston Herald, the bill also calls for beefing up penalties, specifically for repeat offenders who would face 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine.

Thread: Freebies
There's a site I visit almost daily for free samples of everything from pet food to health & beauty stuff.
Sometimes the freebies have expired, but that doesn't usually happen a lot. I think it all depends on how many people sign up for them.
Besides the usual filling out the forms with your name, addy & email, it's pretty simple. I use a throw-away email address in case there is unwanted advertising (Hotmail or Yahoo), but you still get the freebies.
I recently received some stuff from Dove, toothpaste, shampoo & conditioner and some lotion.
You just have to be patient when looking through the sections, because sometimes there is some BS stuff there.
I've been going to this site for years and gotten some pretty good freebies.
Sooooo...here you go:

Reading Time: 3-4 Minutes
Your old electronics that you are considering throwing away may be someone's treasure. In this post, you'll discover ways to sell electronics, recycle electronics, and donate electronics.
Recycle Electronics -- Donate Electronics
One of the fastest growing waste concerns our world faces is consumer electronic trash. This trash includes: old computers, cell phones, PDAs, office equipment, and other devices. This stuff is getting dumped into landfills daily. Unfortunately, it sticks around our planet for a long time! However, sometimes these old electronics can be sold, donated, or recycled a few times before hitting the landfills.
Sell Electronics
Sell your old electronics on eBay and Amazon.com. If you plan on selling something new or nearly new choose it sell it on Amazon.com first. Do some price-point research and you'll see what I am talking about. For new items, you typically get the most money there.
For the other items you can sell them on eBay. Just put up a listing, sell the item, and ship it out.
Don't have an account on eBay or Amazon? No problem. It is quite simple to set up an account on either site to sell your items. Just check out each site's membership sections.
If it sounds like a big hassle to list, sell, and ship your electronics consider hiring out a third-party. There are plenty of online trading assistants out there. I think it is quite expensive but could be an alternative for you. Look into ISoldIt or check out Craig's List. Either way, you can recycle electronics for cash.
Check out this Howdini Video on Recycling Electronic Products:
Recycle Electronics -- Donate Electronics
If you want to sell back a cellular phone look into Capstone Wireless. This company buys back lots of phones. If it powers up and the LCD is good they usually buy it. I have mentioned Gazelle before in other posts. Gazelle buys back loads of electronics too.
Apple-user? If you have an Apple product you would like to get rid of check out Apple's gift card program. Last I checked, you can exchange your Apple computer for a gift card.
Donate Electronics
You can donate your desktop and peripherals to the National Cristina Foundation and the World Computer Exchange.
For cell-phones, consider ReCellular. These folks find phone buyers and recycle the rest.
Sidenote: Most people that donate electronic equipment want an idea of how much they are worth for tax purposes. If you want to establish the value of the electronics you plan to donate check out ItsDeductible. It is a tool created by TurboTax.
If you just want to give your electronic device or computer away to someone off the street join your local Freecycle group. More than likely, there will be someone out there that wants your old computer or device. Free electronics recycling at its finest.
Recycle Electronics
Many manufacturers take back electronics for recycling purposes. For example, Dell Computers has deals set up with Goodwill and Staples to collect products in-store. A good starting point for manufacturer takeback programs is the Electronics Takeback Coalition. This site specializes in finding recycling programs.
Some of the retailers recycle also. The Best Buy electronics recycling program accepts most electronics. Then, they either resell or recycle the item. Staples Office supply stores accept personal electronics like cell phones, digital cameras, and PDAs for free. If you have office electronics they'll accept those too. However, they typically charge $10 to take these items.
Recycle Electronics -- Donate Electronics
One other option is to check out a company named Call2Recycle. This is one of the most well-known electronics recycling companies. These folks pick up cell phones and rechargeable batteries from select locations. Visit their website to find out where these spots are. Currently, they do pick-ups at loads of places like: Radio Shack, Whole Foods, Lowes, Best Buy, Sears, and Home Depot locations. They also have pick up at specialty shops like Fastenel.
Lastly, if you want to find places to recycle electronics by your zip code check out www.earth911.com. You can also look into state electronics recycling programs too.
So, if you want to sell electronics, donate electronics, or recycle electronics the resources listed in this post should really help. Let's use these tools to clean up our environment and possibly make a little extra cash!

---- — Congratulations to the Beekmantown girls high school hockey team on winning its first-ever state championship. It is validation for a program started as a cooperative, grassroots effort.
The girls wrapped up the title with a 3-0 win over Potsdam last weekend at the Frozen Four in Canton. The win avenged a 2-1 loss to the Sandstoners in last year's title game, held in Plattsburgh.
The state title was a long time coming for the Lady Eagles.
The team was formed in 2008 under the banner of Chazy Central Rural School because individual schools didn't have the funds or players numbers to host their own teams. The Beekmantown team features players from Northeastern Clinton, Chazy, Beekmantown, Saranac, Peru and Seton Catholic.
Beekmantown took over the team in 2011.
No funding is provided from any of the school districts with girls on the team, though Beekmantown does provide administrative support. All funds are raised by players and parents, something that should be addressed now that the program has proven it is solid and successful.
In each of the first four years of existence, the team made the Frozen Four, playing in title games in 2009, 2011 and 2012. The girls have won the regular-season league championship every year since 2010.
They were unbeaten in an astounding 69 regular season games in a row from early December of 2009 to Jan. 22 of this year. Overall in five years, the team's record is an amazing 98-8-7.
Yet, despite their regular-season success, the girls had trouble finishing the job in the Frozen Four, coming up short in each of the past four seasons.
Winning a championship of any kind is difficult enough for sports teams, but state championships are the most challenging. Not only does a team need tremendous talent, honed skills and great preparation, it needs a few breaks along the way.
Heading into this year, it seemed unlikely to some in the girls hockey world that a title could be won. After all, the team had lost seven valuable seniors from last year. But the new team still boasted some notable returning talent and had a roster of strong newcomers.
Still, another unknown sprang up in that this would be the first year a team from the hockey-rich Buffalo region would join the Frozen Four. As it turns out, that was not a problem as the Eagles defeated Kenmore, from Buffalo, in the semi-final game.
In the final, the girls played just about a perfect game, limiting Potsdam to just 13 shots, including none over the final 27 minutes.
Hoisting the trophy was certainly a proud moment — and well-deserved for this team.
We will watch with great interest to see not only whether they can defend their title, but how the member school districts approach the all-important funding question for such a high-profile team.

Ajay K. Mehrotra, a former Miller Center National Fellow and a professor of law and history at the Maurer School of Law at Indiana University, Bloomington, has published an op-ed in Bloomberg in which he reflects on the significance of the 100th anniversary of the federal income tax. Mehrotra writes:
As Tennessee Representative Cordell Hull, one of the chief architects of the new law, explained, the goal of the 1913 income tax was to ensure that the rich were paying their fair share of increasing government expenses. "I have no disposition to tax wealth unnecessarily or unjustly," Hull said on the floor of Congress, "but I do believe that the wealth of the country should bear its just share of the burden of taxation and that it should not be permitted to shirk that duty." Hull intended the income tax to counterbalance the regressive elements of the existing regime. "Something is needed to restore the equilibrium," he said, "and that something can scarcely take any form except that of an income tax."
As we commemorate the centennial of the 16th Amendment and look ahead to looming budgetary battles, we ought to keep in mind that the foundations of our modern fiscal state are rooted not in efforts to radically redistribute wealth, but in attempts to balance fiscal duties and civic responsibilities. The progressives who bequeathed this state to us certainly knew the difference.

The International Food Safety Authorities Network (INFOSAN)
The rapid globalization of food production and trade has increased the potential likelihood of international incidents involving contaminated food. Food safety authorities all over the world have acknowledged that ensuring food safety must not only be tackled at the national level but also through closer linkages among food safety authorities at the international level. This is important for exchanging routine information on food safety issues, sharing experiences and expertise and to have rapid access to information in case of food safety emergencies.
The International Food Safety Authorities Network (INFOSAN) is a joint initiative between WHO and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). This a global network includes 181 Member States. Each has a designated INFOSAN Emergency Contact Point for communication between national food safety authorities and the INFOSAN Secretariat regarding urgent events. Recognizing that food safety is often a shared responsibility, countries are also asked to identity Focal Points in other ministries or relevant agencies to receive INFOSAN communications.
The network aims to:
- Promote the rapid exchange of information during food safety related events;
- Share information on important food safety related issues of global interest;
- Promote partnership and collaboration between countries; and
- Help countries strengthen their capacity to manage food safety risks.
As part of its routine activities, the INFOSAN Secretariat publishes Information Notes, in the six official WHO languages, to provide members with summaries on relevant food safety issues. Guidance has also been developed on a number of topics related to food safety emergency preparedness and response.
INFOSAN also facilitates the exchange of food safety information and experience among its members. Training on the function and purpose of INFOSAN has been included in training courses conducted through the WHO Global Foodborne Infections Network (GFN). INFOSAN is introduced in these courses as a mechanism through which findings of investigations and strategies for improving food safety may be shared.
INFOSAN systematically monitors for potential international food safety related events in addition to receiving information through INFOSAN emergency contact points. This monitoring is done in close collaboration with the WHO Alert and Response Operations program as part of WHO's event detection activities.
Working under the umbrella of the International Health Regulations (2005), the INFOSAN Secretariat facilitates the identification, assessment and management of food safety events of possible international concern. Collaborating closely with countries, INFOSAN Alerts may be developed and disseminated to network members. To help respond to country requests for assistance during food safety emergencies, INFOSAN can partner with the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN).
INFOSAN also works with the Global Early Warning System for Major Animal Diseases, including Zoonoses (GLEWS) to promote seamless action throughout the food-chain continuum.
