Chippewa tribes declare near-record number of walleyes for spearing season
The six bands of Chippewa tribes in northern Wisconsin have declared intentions to spear a near-record number of walleyes during the annual spring harvest, according to Department of Natural Resources officials.
In addition, the high declaration by the Lac du Flambeau band will terminate an agreement it has had with the state since 1997.
The tribes on Friday submitted their declaration to spear 59,399 walleyes in off-reservation lakes. The declarations by band were Bad River 5,609 walleyes; Lac Court Oreilles 5,879; Lac du Flambeau 24,283; Mole Lake 15,060; Red Cliff 2,194; and St. Croix 6,374.
After calculating the potential impact to the lakes, the DNR on Monday announced the sport bag limits would be reduced to one fish on 197 lakes, two fish on 331 lakes and three fish on seven lakes.
The standard daily sport bag limit on Wisconsin waters is five walleyes.
A DNR statement Monday acknowledged the Chippewa tribes are acting lawfully within their treaty rights.
However this year's "drastic increase in lakes named at a one-walleye bag limit is significant, unprecedented, and a challenge to long-standing partnerships," said DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp.
After tribal declarations in 2012, 225 lakes were set at three walleyes, 311 lakes were set at two and one lake was set at one.
The 59,399 walleyes declared this year is second only to 2010, when the tribes' declared 59,659, according to DNR records.
The tribes and DNR have used a system of declarations and adjusted bag limits since the late 1980s. The DNR makes preliminary adjustments based on the declarations. After the actual spearing harvest is recorded, bag limits may be adjusted again, typically in May.
The reductions are designed to keep the total annual catch to less than 35% of the adult walleye population.
Last year the tribes declared 54,057 walleye but actually speared 32,321, according to DNR records.
The Chippewa tribes are entitled to hunt, fish and gather in the ceded territory, about the northern third of Wisconsin.
The treaty rights were affirmed in the Voigt case in 1983. Since the late 1980s, the tribes have exercised their right to take walleyes and other fish by spearing.
The annual harvest by the tribes is a fraction of the total harvest from lakes in the ceded territory. According to DNR estimates, 260,000 to 300,000 walleye were harvested annually (2008-2012) by sport anglers from lakes declared in the ceded territory.
But since it results in reduced bag limits for sport anglers, tribal spearing upset many fishermen, business owners and others and led to angry protests at boat landings in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Time and the 1997 agreement helped to relieve tensions. Spearing has occured in relative peace over the last 15 years.
While the total number of lakes declared is similar to past years, the percentage declared at less than a three-fish bag limit is much higher than usual.
In the last 15 years no more than 10 lakes have been declared at a one-walleye bag limit in a given year.
The Lac du Flambeau have declared and speared the most walleyes over the years. In 2012, the tribe speared 48% of the walleye in the harvest.
In 1997 the band agreed to limit its take of walleyes in exchange for the ability to sell fishing, ATV and snowmobile licenses. The agreement called on the tribe to allow at least a three walleyes per day bag limit on lakes it speared.
As part of this year's declarations, the Lac du Flambeau named 232 of their 233 lakes at a two-fish daily bag limit. The tribe's "unprecedented change in declarations effectively terminated the 16-year agreement," according to a DNR statement issued Monday.
The tribe will lose a $84,500 payment from the state as a result of withdrawing from the agreement.
Tribal authorities were not available for comment Monday afternoon.
As part of its statement, the DNR said over the coming weeks it "aims to work with the tribes in an effort to negotiate a reduction in their declarations."

Those fish are there only because of the stocking program paid for mostly by the $$ from fishing licences and other taxes and fees. I don't see the quid pro quo here. Isn't there some kind of surplus food or whatever that can be used to buy off these freeloaders? I don't fish but if I did I would think very hard about organizing some kind of legal countermeasure to this slap in the face. And, hey, JS, why don't you ask the Governor about this to his face instead of entertaining ridiculous fantasies about him running for President? You're worthless.Hide replies
Tosa,One of the people Rinse Priebus was talking about....
Freeloaders? Slap in the face? Might want to read a little history and brush up on treaty obligations. (Pay special attention to who ignored them and for how long.)
The rest of the posters don't seem to agree with you. And if anyone had a real greivance against the White Man it would be the descendants of the slaves. Where is their treaty? Their casinos? At what point do we have to keep kissing their you know whats until things are even?
Not much interested in a popularity contest. Both have serious gripes over several hundred years is mistreatment (genocide and broken treaties for one group, slavery for another, and ongoing racism for both). To partially answer your final question, "When recognizing the longstanding legal rights of a group is no longer considered kissing their you know whats."
Slap ? How about the slap in their faces regarding the mining bill.
@JWT Just because something is legal doesn't necessarily make it right. I do not question their legal rights under the treaties. What I question is their using those treaties to take something that most people understand is a shared resource. I think they know this. If they were smart they would not act in such a self rightious manner.
If you READ the article you can SEE for yourself that the shared resource weighs heavily in favor of sports anglers...unless you can furnish some documentation to prove otherwise. Self righteous by whose definition?
"If they were smart they would not act in such a self-righteous manner???" Yeah, who do they think they are exercising their rights? Why aren't they dancing for the man? Help us all...
Nobody wins with these type of reckless policies. When will clear thinking prevail on this matter. This policy must be changed.Hide replies
Why don't you talk to the great Scott Walker.
Sorry to see this happen.I'm sure their doing this to thank Kathy Stepp ang Gov.Walker for pushing their wonderful mine bill down their throats.I'm sure all the up north business's are glad with their governor now.At least the traffic won't be as bad when I go up to the cabin.2014 can' come fast enough!Hide replies
Since they plan on voiding the treaties... then the rest of the funds and services they currently receive need to be put on hold until a realistic solution can be agreed upon.
The amount of spearing they plan on is outrageous and most likely will harm the tourism (the biggest money producer for the state)and in an upside down economy will lead to further job loss,something this state does not need further loss of jobs and taxes collected on the incomes.
Just where do these tribes get the idea that voiding not only state but federal treaties is the solution to providing needed food for those that are in need of help.Hide replies
Gee Vin sorta like putting a mine in an area that affects the tribal way of life, jobs, tourism, and economy ????
Read the article again. The Lac du Flambeau, along with the others, are exercising their treaty rights. What might be falling by the wayside is a self-limitation that they are in no way obliged to continue. (BTW- did you read the part about what portion of the total harvest spearing actually is?)
Pure speculation on my part, but this might be payback for ignoring the tribes while ramming through a mining bill that has a significant impact on their well-being.
Significant impact? You mean like the new jobs they will fall all over themselves to avoid? BTW I'm not a mining fan, just so you know. I hope you realize that they are just screwing themselves in the long run for a few fish, because as you can see from the comments this is an emotional issue that won't soon be forgotten.
No, I mean sulfuric acid in the water wiping out the wild rice crops and otherwise poisoning the waters (infinitely worse than the current sewage issue, in case you were going there next).
I said I wasn't a mining fan. How stupid can we be to ruin something that people drive for hundreds of miles to enjoy?
forget the fish and rice...it's about water and air. Since the commercially driven sportsmen can't wrap their heads around that...then maybe some of those Star Wars, Star Trek, NASA nerds better get going on building all of us a dome that can sustain human life because that's where we're heading. At least it will be sponsored by polaris, arctic cat or something.
Drive thru a Indian Reservation they are the dirtiest people in our state. They dumb trash on side of roads. I myself witnessed some Indians that were drinking and fishing on the ice, a month back and they left there whiskey bottle, and burnt fire logs right on the ice when they were finished. So stick your water and air crap up your arse, they aren't any more nature friendly than the next. I've move than witnessed it.
As I said before it is TIME the sportsmen and women of Wisconsin stop patronizing the Indian Casino's. When these tribes start loosing out on our hard earned money they will wake up. An elk was shot earlier this year because their "brother" the wolf was going to be hunted. The tribes attempted to shine deer because lights are allowed for coyote and wolf hunting. The tribes of Wisconsin are making no attempt to get along with the rest of the states residents. Let them spear fish but also allow them to hang themselves economically.Hide replies
Wrong, the elk was not harvested because of the wolf hunt and the night hunting had nothing to with "lights"...it's about natural law. Now that is something you might want to do some research on.
The total daily bag limit for walleyes is five. If the lake you are fishing has a bag limit less than five, you can fish other lakes to fill your daily bag limit. While fishing, you cannot possess fish in excess of that lake's daily bag limit. Therefore, remember to remove all fish from your boat prior to fishing on a second lake that also has a restricted bag limit
So, what is it? The proposed iron mine or hunting the "indian's brother", the wolf. Either way, the indians don't get their way and they start acting up. Maybe the wolf quotas should be opened up. Just like when dealing with children, if you ignore their tantrum, they will eventually stop acting out.Hide replies
Some less-educated, narrow-minded people call it acting up. Others may call it standing up for your rights as guaranteed by the US Constitution. Different people have different viewpoints. You cannot make a white man an Indian, any more than you can make an Indian a white man. So stop throwing your tantrum when it doesn't happen.
It's a good thing gas is $3.70 per gallon so I cant afford to go north and fish or I might be a little p'od .
The best thing to do is stay away from any and all casino's .
Why cant 1/50 of the people harvest 1/5 of the walleyes.Hide replies
It sounds like staying away from casinos would be better for you anyway since you can't afford to gamble or put gas in your vehicle.
Bad decisions have consequences Scotty.
Payback is a b**ch, isn't it? Maybe ramming that hideous mining bill through the legislature without feedback from the tribes wasn't such a good idea after all.Hide replies
You're right, he should have found a way to buy them off. More evidence of how a lack of a college degree can be a handicap.
You people are not the brightest bulbs in the box!
WALKER - divide and conquer.
This is exactly what he wanted.Hide replies
The campaign ads against Walker write themselves.

We've limited the list to standalone streaming boxes.
Roku's Streaming Stick offers tons of apps, a real remote, and a compact design for just $50, making it the best streaming stick and an outstanding value.
The Roku 1 offers the same excellent experience that's found on other Roku boxes at a new low price, but there aren't many reasons to choose it over the new Streaming Stick or step-up Roku boxes.
Chinese TV brand TCL will be among the first to debut a TV with a virtual Roku streaming box built right in.
Pricing not available
The Roku LT is the best budget streaming-media device, easily topping the $35 Chromecast.
The Roku 2 offers tons of content sources and an innovative remote with built-in headphone jack for just $80, but the Roku 3 is still our favorite pick.
Roku's lower-cost streamers get a sleeker look and a few key hardware upgrades.
Google's $35 Chromecast stick is a cheap and easy way to add streaming video and music to your TV, but it still isn't as fully featured as similarly priced Roku boxes.
Roku is No. 1 for set-top-box purchases and usage, and the gulf between it and No. 2 Apple is widening, a study says -- but opportunity may rouse the sleeping giant.
Roku is parterning with Hisense and TCL to release six TVs this fall that have the company's superb Smart TV platform built-in -- no box required.

Lebanon —
Cameron Wilson, 14, Lebanon, was in Riley Hospital for Children, Indianapolis, today with internal injuries suffered Thursday when he fell from and was run over by a Fourth of July parade float.
Wilson was in good condition, a public relations spokesman for Riley said at noon.
Wilson was riding on the Lebanon Youth Football League's entry, built on a flatbed farm wagon and towed by a pickup, as it entered the Lebanon Middle School parking lot after the parade.
Wilson fell off, for reasons yet undetermined. At least one tire of the wagon ran over Wilson's chest and abdomen, Lebanon Police Lt. Brent Wheat said.

Now that the election is over, I have wondered how the campaigns could have been gentler and less abusive.
I suspect that much of the bitterness arose from the very negative television video clips repeated many times during prime viewing times (daylight and evening).
It was curious to see one clip bashing one candidate immediately followed by another clip knocking down the other candidate. In the next national campaign (only two years from now), there will again be huge amounts of money paying for such videos.
What could change this streaming of accusations and misrepresentations?
My solution: Have a respected non partisan organization grade these video clips with grades A, B, C and D.
This is analogous to the ratings on movies: G, PG, PG-13 and R. This rating system has been accepted by the motion picture industry. In fact, some movies are often changed to escape a 'R' rating.
Here is a possible set of criteria for grading campaign video clips.
A — for a political video that presents one candidate in a positive light with claims that can be verified easily with a fact – checking service. Also this political video avoids or ignores the opposing candidate(s).
B — for a political video that is positive towards one of the candidates with amorphous statements or claims that probably have nothing to do with this candidate. The best thing about this kind of video is that doesn't malign the other candidate.
C — for a political video that is mostly negative towards one of the candidates with claims that can be verified with a fact – checking service. The other candidate either is not mentioned or is briefly mentioned as having the opposite characteristics of the vilified candidate.
D — for a political video that is very negative towards one of the candidates with broad general statements that likely would not pass muster with a fact – checking service. The targeted candidate is portrayed as wanting to seize power and destroy American values.
These 'grades' could be added as a single letter in one of the lower corners of the screen while the video is being aired. I feel that the makers of these political videos would try to get at least a B rating and to avoid a C or D rating.
The viewers of such videos might reach for the mute button, once they see a C or D rating displayed on the bottom of their screen.
If a television network refused to code their political videos, this network could be accused of pushing abusive material on their viewers.
SKY SIGHTS THIS WEEK: Early this week, the evening moon is at its best for viewing its craters and mountain ranges with binoculars or telescope. Along the moon's left or upper edge, the sun is rising, lighting up the crater rims and mountain peaks.
In the eastern evening sky, the bright planet Jupiter is striking, appearing near the bright orange star Aldebaran that marks the eye of Taurus. Jupiter is brighter than Aldebaran and shines steadily.
In late evening, Orion with his three star belt can be seen below Jupiter. To the left of the belt is the bright pinkish star Betelgeuse; to the right of the belt is the bright white-blue star Rigel.

Welcome from the Chair
Dear future math student,
We are delighted to know that you have a continuing interest in studying mathematics and its applications.
Here at the University of Saint Francis, the mathematics faculty is dedicated to excellent teaching. Small class sizes optimize interaction between professors and students, enabling them to get to know each other. We offer a secure, embarrassment/anxiety-free learning environment. We allow and encourage the asking of questions during, before and after class. You will not be afraid to make a mistake; we all learn and discover things through mistakes. In other words, if you tell your teacher that you think that any two lines intersect, you will not be ridiculed. Instead, we will help you strengthen your knowledge and discover new math areas where unexpected and unusual things happen.
If you are a friend of logic and problem solving, the University of Saint Francis is the place for you. Here you will develop and improve your mathematical abilities, while increasing your knowledge and understanding of concepts and their applications.
Upon your graduation, you will find a vast number of fields in real world where you can use your math background and the following skills:
- Quantitative skills (basic statistics) in Social Science, Journalism, Sociology, Economics, Psychology, Human Resources (compensation and benefit analysis, pension assets management, finance)
- Ability to draw conclusions from data in Data Analysis, Data Synthesis, Quality Control
- Problem-solving, analytical and logical thinking in Planning, Structuring, Project Management, Material Management, Inventory Management (personally, being a Ph. D. in Teaching Mathematics, I landed my first full time job as a doctor's assistant/analyst at ophthalmologic surgery/clinic institution)
- Problem-solving skills in Engineering
- Logical reasoning and computational techniques in Sciences
After twenty years of domination of computer-related professions, according to last year's US & World News polls, the profession of mathematician is again in the list of ten most popular jobs in the USA. Currently, the U.S. is experiencing an acute shortage of qualified math educators, math researches, statisticians, actuaries, commodities traders, quantitative analysts and bank analysts, appraisers, designers, pollsters, epidemiologists, simulators, and other specialists with mandatory mathematical backgrounds.
By the way, math does not have to be your only interest. You may grow to combine math with other fields, such as biostatistics, computer game development, ethnomathematics, or criminology (have you seen the show NUMB3RS?). In addition, you will be free to form connections between math and the arts, music, literature - the disciplines ruled by harmony, symmetry, proportions, and of course, creativity.
Our program is open to students with strong mathematical and logical interests and abilities. It features integration between theoretical math and problem solving, providing a well-rounded preparation of future scientists, analysts, problem solvers, educators, etc. Inclusion of traditional components of successful math education as history of mathematics, logic, physics, and math applications in games and arts, as well as technology-based and problem-solving driven components makes our program more competitive and attractive than analogical programs.
We are anxious to see you in class.
Victor Kutsenok (Chair of the Math Department, Program Director) and Co. (Steve Born, Mitch Ellisen, John Reinoehl,...); Jacob Bernoulli, Leonard Euler, Maurits Escher, Pierre Fermat, Carl Gauss, Gottfried Leibnitz, Isaac Newton, Euclid & Pythagoras, Al Horesmi, ...(leading scientists)
Should you have any questions, please contact us at (260) 399-7700 x8237 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Napper's book Dependent Arising has a whole section devling into this issue. Look there.
Ok so checked the index in Napper's book and could not find any reference to Je Tsongkhapa disregarding the second set. All I could find was his classic emphasis on the need for qualifiers when interpreting the tetralemma (yes, all four lines). I checked back to the Snow Lion translation of LRCM and in the chapter "Production is not Refuted" (p189) found one discussion on the tetralemma which again is more of a discussion on the need for qualifiers when interpreting the four lines such as refuting essential nature etc. Nowhere have I found Je Tsongkhapa actively disregarding the second set.
Look on page 60 of the Napper book.

To the Christian, believer, non-believer, heretic or any who mis-read scripture from Paul, or claim support from scripture they do not understand. The Lord, 'My God and Master', loves all, the whole world over. No one is excluded from the love of my God.
The very heart of Christ is given to poor sinners. We may clearly perceive the freeness and fullness of the mighty grace of our redeemer Jesus Christ, who is willing to receive the youngest child, as well as the oldest believer. He is pleased with loving hearts, who seek lost souls to bring into God's blessing.
Brothers and sisters in Christ, in his name we seek out and labor for souls of all sorts. We seek out the drunkard, find the lost, help the homeless, instruct the thief, assist the poor. Let every race, let every color, let every age, let every nation be the object of our soul's prayers.
We live to bring others to Jesus Christ and through his holy spirit, soften hearts that have been hardened. We invite wanderers to the banquet, and compel them to fill the house of the Lord. Let our compassion expand, let us shut out none from prayer and in faith let us bring all we encounter, hoping and believing some find grace, some will be washed in the savior's blood and some will receive God's favor.
Let us not doubt the salvation of any man, women or child; for the Lord saves whom he will. Let no difficulties delay our efforts for we as friends labor to seek, find and save souls, 'living stones', as converted men, women and children. The Holy Bible, in its entirety is the word of God.
Let each of us do grace work to bring Christ to the needy, and expand the 'Kingdom of our saviour' — Christ Jesus. Do you desire to have the love of God in your soul? Ask and you shall receive. Do you feel at this moment a need to find Christ or face death alone? May the Lord bless you today. Amen.

The fears of a community were confirmed when a body found in a Butler County river was identified as Brandon Tyler Crain, a missing Hart County teenager.
The State Medical Examiner's Office identified a body found in the Green River on April 28 as Crain, 19, of Munfordville, according to a Kentucky State Police release. A fisherman contacted the Kentucky State Police after finding a body in the river in the Woodbury community.
The cause of death has not been released, but KSP investigators are not suspecting foul play in the death.
"I haven't heard a ruling yet, and until we hear back from the medical examiner's office, we're not going to comment on that," said Trooper Jonathan Biven, public information officer for the KSP Bowling Green post. "He was found in a river, it's just that right now."

A fantastic deal.
by UnbreakableJB on October 14, 2012
Pros: Price! Similar products are at least $100 more.
Speed. It responds as fast as your fingers move.
Build quality. The metal housing is attractive and durable.
Size. 9" is just right.
Features -- GPS, microSD, HDMI out, two cameras, and good speakers.
Cons: Screen quality. It's not bad, but it's not great either.
No Jelly Bean, and no info when or if it will arrive.
Camera quality. I haven't spent much time with them, but if it matters to you (it didn't to me), look at some images and videos in reviews.

Summary: I think this tablet is exceptional in almost every way except the display. It certainly could be much better, and it's a shame that it's not. Don't simply accept the reviewers' opinions about it, though. Watch some videos on YouTube -- they'll give you an accurate idea -- and judge for yourself whether you'd prefer to pay another $100 or more to get a great display -- and possibly sacrifice other features. At $300, it's a 4-star tablet, but for $250 I have to give it 5 stars.

Exceptional value,. Very few downsides to this tablet.
by pj_webb on August 14, 2013
Pros: Solid construction.
Fast, fluid experience due to high specifications. Much better than anything else in this price bracket.
Has GPS built in, a feature missing from most tablets over 7 inches in this price bracket.
Cons: Other reviewers say the screen is poor, however I've experienced no real issues with it.
One minor niggle is the fact that the tablet doesn't support Bluetooth headset profiles, i.e for phone call audio in Skype etc.

Summary: In this price range, and above 7 inches, there is no other tablet that has this combination of good CPU/memory spec, solid build quality and also includes GPS. It is a very good buy.
The only way to do better than this tablet is to buy a smaller 7 inch model, or spend more money.

Outshines Tablets that are more expensive
by Lenovo-A2109A on March 16, 2013
Pros: Mighty fast has NO problems running anything that I throw at it, GREAT Battery Life between 5 to 9 hours depending on what you are doing, Easy to use, More then worth the $209 that I paid for it.
Do Not regret this purchase in anyway.
Cons: Only one complaint is that the rear camera isn't teamed with a Light for better picture taking in low light conditions.
But Tablets farrr more expensive don't have these either anymore.
Would be nice to have a 2nd micro usb port.
Summary: Jelly Bean came stock on mine OTB.

I see no problem with the display.
If not trying to hold it at angles even a laptop display would give you problems viewing.
I think the reviewers including the ones here want to find something wrong with a tablet that is priced so affordably, So as to push the ones that are $150 or more above the price of this one, If you want a crisp clear colorful display add a Good Quality Clear Screen Protector.
And since it has a High Quality Tempered Glass Display some say it's Gorilla Glass and some say it's another Brand.
It's glare when used outside in the bright light can be tricky.
"BUT" can be eaisly handled once again by adding a High Quality Anti Glare Screen Protector.
All in all a Fantastic Tablet and well worth a second look when looking at other tablets that are much more expensive.
Great features, hard to handle

INDIANAPOLIS -- New England Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski lived in Buffalo from ages 2 to 10. Both of his parents graduated from Maryvale High School in Cheektowaga. They've moved away. But Gostkowski's grandparents and numerous aunts and uncles still live in Western New York. Gostkowski went to high school in Mississippi and went to college at Memphis in Tennessee. He's in his sixth season with the Pats and had another good year, making 28 of 33 kicks. He was All-Pro in 2008.
Gostkowski has been a big Sabres fan much of his life, but now he's friends with some of the Boston Bruins, so he has changed loyalties to the B's. Here's an audio clip of him talking about taking over for kicking great Adam Vinatieri in New England.

1980s teen movie star Molly Ringwald finds new success as an acclaimed author -- but can she still put lipstick on with her cleavage?
LIT Molly Ringwald is 44, fabulous, and living a dream life in Santa Monica with her gorgeous husband and three daughters. She's also far from shy when it comes to talking about her storied past as an 1980s movie legend, the red-headed dream girl of choice for a generation of disaffected teens.
No, she didn't have anything to do with designing Andie's prom dress in Pretty in Pink (1986). Yes, director John Hughes almost fired Judd Nelson from The Breakfast Club (1985) for being mean to her (Nelson was staying in character). And — sorry those of us who spent hours pushing our boobs together — she cannot put lipstick on with her cleavage. That was "movie magic."
Also? The quote she gets most on the street is "What's a-happenin', hot stuff?"
Ringwald is hot stuff for something else right now. She's just released When It Happens to You: A Novel in Stories (It Books, 256 pp., $24.99), a debut novel comprised of linked short stories that's been garnering raves. (She'll be appearing courtesy of Litquake at the Verdi Club, Thu/6.)
The book deals with the dissolution of the marriage of Phillip and Greta, and the unsettledness that ripples through their family and friends. It's a naturalistic mosaic of betrayals, full of lovely observations of contemporary human behavior and well-wrought passages that jibe with her love of Gustave Flaubert, Raymond Carver, and poet Mary Oliver — yet still reveal a voice distinctly her own.
The promotion she's been doing for the book has been revealing too: her sharp wit and playful literary intelligence have had many realizing how much they've missed her. (Example: She basically slayed all of Reddit during a community interview when she casually mentioned that she drinks the blood of Kristen Stewart to stay young.) Ringwald called me during a tumultuous morning at her household: her twins were starting their first day of preschool, and she was getting them ready to go. She briefly put one of them on the phone with me, who told me she was excited about her "new backpack and pink nail polish."
San Francisco Bay Guardian Um, I just talked to one of Molly Ringwald's kids — that's kind of a weird time warp for me.
Molly Ringwald Ha, I can see that. Are you OK?
SFBG A bit dazzled, but I'll survive. Another time warpy thing is finding out how much you're a self-described "Internet junkie." I feel that I and so many others connected with your '80s movies because we were so isolated as weirdos and outsiders. Those movies were like the social networking of the time — not in terms of actually communicating with others like ourselves, but just knowing there were people like us out there ...
MR I've never thought about it that way, but I certainly know how the presence of the Internet has changed the lives of young people now, which has so much to do with reaching out but also moving forward, always going on to the next thing. My children are Internet natives. And I have to limit myself because I can just dive in to all the distractions. I'm fascinated by the effect it's having on movies, the opening up, the distribution. I'm working to adapt my book to a screenplay right now, but I could see writing a Web series someday.
SFBG I'm curious how your book took on the form of linked stories. One of the most famous examples of that form is John Steinbeck's Pastures of Heaven, set in Monterey. Did you model When It Happens to You on any particular linked story collections?
I remember this movie :) Her performance made her an instant cultural icon, and earned the actress a Young Artist Award for Best Young Actress in a Motion Picture.
I even bought essay on this topic, great role.
I really love Molly Ringwald! I hope some day I could go with my travel friend to USA and I will get chance to visit Hollywood. Oh sweet dreams :)

Billy NIchols, former Pryor code enforcement officer was found not guilty of concealing stolen property Tuesday.
Nichols was accused of taking a dog belonging to Terry and Stephanie Aylward and keeping it for 18 days.
On the stand, Nichols recalled how he came across the Aylward's dog on Aug. 11 near the Credit Union. He said the dog was wet from the rain the night before. He picked the dog up long enough to get the Aylward's phone number, but the dog bit him and ran away. Nichols said he spoke with Terry Aylward that evening by phone. He said Aylward told him the missing dog was black. In fact, the dog was a miniature schnauzer, black with silver points.
Nichols said a few days later, Aug. 18 or 19, he met a man on Whitaker Street who had a little dog following him. The dog did not have a tag. According to NIchols, the man said he had no way to care for the dog and gave it to him.
Linda Anderson, a witness for the prosecution, said she saw the Alyward's dog with Nichols' wife in their yard on Aug. 29. She called Stephanie Alyward, who collected her dog from the Nichols' home.
Nichols maintained he did not know the dog he saw at the Credit Union was the same dog he kept at his house.
Terry Aylward said he spoke to Nichols on the phone Aug. 11 about the missing dog. When the dog was found at the Nichols' home Aug. 29, Terry Aylward said he left his office on Adair Street, saw Nichols in his car on the street and confronted him. He said Nichols wanted to explain what happened.
"He acted like one of my kids when they didn't tell me the truth," Aylward said.
Defense attorney Terry Allen asked Aylward why he never contacted Nichols again after they spoke on Aug. 11, even though Aylward's office is across the street from city hall. Aylward said he had no reason to believe Nichols knew anything more about the dog. Allen asked Aylward if the dog had ever gotten out of the yard. Aylward said a the dog had gotten out few times when he and his wife were working in their yard.
Nichols told Pryor Police Detective James Willyard in an interview, "I shouldn't have taken the dog, but I wanted another dog. I honestly didn't think it was that dog."
Willyard told the court that he went to the Credit Union where Nichols first encountered the dog, but could not find any cameras outside the Credit Union which captured the interaction. Willyard told the court he went along Whitaker Street looking for a man that fit Nichols' description. After five or six days of searching, he never found such a man.
If found guilty of knowingly concealing stolen property, Nichols faced a maximum of five years in the department of corrections and a $500 fine.
In his closing, Assistant District Attorney Nick Codding said the state was not charging Nichols with stealing the dog, but with knowingly concealing stolen property as Nichols had deprived the Aylwards of their dog. Codding said that as code inspector for Pryor Creek, Nichols expected people to be held accountable for their actions and that now Nichols must be held accountable for his actions.
In his closing, Allen said his client did not steal the dog. The dog was left in his front yard for anyone to see. Allen said Nichols would not jeopardize his career and reputation over a dog.
The jury took less than an hour to find Nichols not guilty.

The Wisconsin congressman and his family joined up with a tailgating party across the street from Lambeau Field. Two of running mate Mitt Romney's five sons, Josh and Matt, were there along with four of Romney's grandchildren. Ryan is next heading to Ohio, Minnesota and Colorado for campaign rallies today.
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- A 66-year-old Milwaukee man has been found dead in a house fire. Milwaukee police said yesterday that the fire happened about 10:40 p.m. Saturday in a house on the 2100 block of East Hillcrest. Police say Donald Webber was found dead in his first-floor bedroom.
WAUWATOSA, Wis. (AP) -- A coal fire at a We Energies power plant on Milwaukee County Grounds in Wauwatosa is under control but expected to burn for several days. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports the blaze was reported about 7:15 a.m. yesterday and was confined to a 25-foot-hopper on the building's sixth floor. No one was injured.
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Wisconsin has comprehensive laws about how police are supposed to respond to domestic violence cases. But an investigation by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has found no one has authority to ensure police departments are responding as they should. State statutes say local police must arrest domestic violence suspects, even if a victim doesn't cooperate.

BALTIMORE (AP) — The passes were sharp, the defense sound and the goals plentiful.
The United States couldn't have played much better, and the timing could not have been more perfect.
Clarence Goodson and Joe Corona scored during an eight-minute span of the first half, and the U.S. cruised past El Salvador 5-1 Sunday to advance to the semifinals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Eddie Johnson, Landon Donovan and Mix Diskerud added second-half goals for the Americans, who will next play in Dallas on Wednesday against the winner of the Honduras-Costa Rica match.
Honduras and Costa Rica met Sunday night as part of a doubleheader before a sellout crowd at the home stadium of the Baltimore Ravens.
Assists aren't an official statistic in the Gold Cup, but Donovan set up three scores in a dazzling performance.
"I think Landon proved again today how valuable he is and now he can make a difference," coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. "This game was important for coaches to see who is a difference maker. Overall, we see our team clicking more and playing better and better."
To say the least.
The U.S. has won nine straight full internationals — a record for the country's national team. The Americans have also prevailed in seven of their last eight Gold Cup matches, the exception being a 4-2 loss to Mexico in 2011 final.
"We are trying to catch up with the big teams in the world," Klinsmann said. "It's all about speed. I'm not talking about physical speed. I'm talking about mental speed, passing speed with every player going both ways. That's what we're working to. This is a process and I think that process is coming along."
Rodolfo Zelaya scored for El Salvador, 1-19-7 overall against the U.S.

VANCOUVER -- The Canucks are legitimate Stanley Cup hopefuls this season after coming within a game of the title last year. Who would want out of that situation?
Maybe Cody Hodgson.
There is speculation in Vancouver that the center or someone associated with him asked for a trade. He was playing less than 13 minutes per game yet still had 16 goals and 33 points, and he also had a public lashing by coach Alain Vigneault.
Upon arriving back in Vancouver as a member of the Sabres, Hodgson repeatedly dodged questions about a trade request.
"Like I said to a couple guys beforehand, I really enjoyed my time here," Hodgson said. "I got along well with the organization, the staff, the players. It's tough to leave, but at the same time I know it's a new home in Buffalo, and I'm looking forward to meeting the fans there and getting to know everyone there."
So he didn't ask for a trade?
"Like I told many guys beforehand, I was as shocked as anybody," Hodgson said. "But I don't want to go back. Even when I played here the whole time I never went back and thought of readdressing old issues and that kind of stuff. I just wanted to go play, and that's what I want to do now. I've got a new team with Buffalo and good guys, and hopefully things will work out."
Hodgson's agent, Ritch Winter, posted on Twitter earlier this week that Hodgson "never demanded ice-time or trade" but the tweet has since been deleted.
The full Hodgson audio is below.

Description:Hello, My name is Aaron Duran and I am an ambitious mid-level creative professional. I have over 7 years experience working in digital design and layout as well as experience in various media ranging from charcoal drawing to digital art and design. However impressive that may seem it is greatly overshadowed by the fact that the Visual Arts have been my passion since I was only three years of age. Though the spectrum of my work was mostly stick figure at that time I must say that I learned a great deal about simplicity in communicating visual messages clearly and concisely. To add to that I have hands on experience with many other forms of the arts including but not limited to, music, poetry, video and photography (with expert knowledge and experience in each field). All of my qualifications aside, I believe that the most beneficial aspect of what I have to offer the design world is a unique look at different concepts and Ideas. That being said I believe that my exposure to multiple forms of expression and media has given me the tools that I need to successfully produce visually stimulating and compelling designs from the ground-up. Afterall, as an artist, I am looking to challenge myself and the rest of the artistic community to be something more than just cliché, or kitsch. I am a firm believer that as a designer I have the responsibility to not only create captivating images, but I also to create things that are unique, original and brand specific. Taking all of that into consideration, I do believe that my hard-work ethic, my devotion to the arts, and my lifelong desire to keep creating are the characteristics that most set me apart from other designers. Afterall, I believe that anyone can add text to an image and call it a day, but it takes true talent and desire to be the best designer that one can be. I thank you for your time and consideration and assure you that you are making a great decision, if you choose to move forward with me as your designer. Sincerely, Aaron T. Duran

Pauls Valley, Oklahoma — Try or not try as we might, it is far too easy to find disappointment in the release of any summer blockbuster, which does not deliver on what we perceive as perfectly meeting a promise of excellence. We've reached a point where flicks are even condemned before their wide release and audiences often fall into line like sheep. However, when something achieves delivering nothing more than what they promised much like today's title, the impact is not only an outpouring of well deserve praise, but something that can change for the better the very formula of the genre it's associated with. The thing that made this feel like such an achievement is because there is no illusion of a product hidden behind flashy advertising, yet a masterpiece because of a magical simplicity. "Pacific Rim" may be miles beneath the upturned noses of those who miss the substance of monolithic creatures battling mega robots, but for the rest of us is a ride we never want to end or forget.
Born out of soup made from the drool induced dreams of Godzilla and Mechanized Anime fans alike, humanity has rallied around the world to fight a common enemy, giant sea monsters that are entering our world from a universal portal in the pacific. At first humanity is successful in beating back these gargantuan baddies using towering war machines called Jaegers, but a combination of our own egos and increasingly powerful foes whittles down our defenses until only a few of those battling bots remain.
Leading the remnants is a former jaeger pilot named Stacker Pentecost (Idris Elba), who is not as blind as the global leaders who are willing to settle for walls to defend them, and sees hope in those like Raleigh Becket (Charlie Hunnam) despite the emotional impact losing his brother as they battled one of these monsters in the past. Of course, as any of these bots like Gipsy Danger require dual pilots through a mental bond, this means finding a replacement, which happens to be a very intelligent and feisty Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi). The key to survival as well as victory ultimately depends on understanding the attackers and is brilliantly achieved through the addition of quirky background characters including scientists like Dr. Newton Geiszler (Charlie Day) or sleazeballs like Hannibal Chau (Ron Perlman); complimented by a ballet of a rocking soundtrack and merciless brawls.

Video: Mr. Brady & LMNO – Banger Management (live)
August 15, 2010 1 Comment
Gah, I fail again. Mr. Brady released a collabo album with LMNO all the way back in July called Banger Management (mp3-only?!?!?!?). I haven't heard it yet but if these videos are any indication, there will be bleeding bass and cyborg laser synths. Hit the jump for the video from the single and title track, which also features Deep Rooted's resident crazed dancers. Though I actually don't like the single as much as the videos above.

Somerset —
An Ohio man was arrested last weekend after police say he physically abused a young child while on a camping trip in the Lake Cumberland area.
According to the Pulaski County Sheriff's Department, deputies received a report of possible child abuse and responded to Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital at around 11 p.m. Friday. A two-year-old child had been brought in and was being treated for injuries to his head and body.
"Responding deputies found the child had apparently been abused while camping with family at the Pulaski County Park," stated Lt. Brett Whitaker, with the sheriff's department.
Detectives with the sheriff's department's Criminal Investigation Division learned that several members of the child's family were at a reunion at the park when the incident happened.
"Detectives interviewed several of the family and learned that the child was being cared for by the child's mother's boyfriend," stated Whitaker in the press release. "During that time, witnesses told investigators they observed him carry the child into a tent where they then heard several slaps and strikes.
"When the child emerged from the tent, the witnesses observed injuries to the child's face," Whitaker added.
Whitaker said the child suffered "substantial bruising and redness about the head and face" and he suffered similar injuries to his buttocks as well.
The child was treated and LCRH and released into the custody of family members.
The suspect in the incident, Joel Konrad, 28, of Cincinnati, Ohio, was arrested in the early morning hours of Saturday and charged with first-degree criminal abuse, which is a Class C felony.
Konrad was also charged with alcohol intoxication, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest.
He was lodged in the Pulaski County Detention Center.
The investigation is continuing by the sheriff's department's Criminal Investigation Division.
