Fly-fishing is a relaxing and relatively easy way to fish. It may seem complicated at times with the various insects that trout feed on but a little understanding of these bugs and paying attention to the size, color, and shape then choosing flies that match these three characteristics will usually bring fish to your flies.
This week I will discuss the other dry flies you may encounter if you choose to pursue trout with the long rod this summer.
Stoneflies are considered the third most important aquatic insect available to trout. Although not as abundant as mayflies or caddis flies in most area streams they can often attract fish when other imitations fail. Only a few species are available during the summer but their distinctive appearances can attract trout to them even when the trout are feeding on other insects. Stoneflies vary greatly in size, shape and color but they all spend their nymph stage in riffles and runs with well-oxygenated water where they feed and hide from the swift current, crawling around the rocks on the bottom. They also have the same general silhouette, two short tails, long body, and wings that lay flat over their backs when at rest. Some species live for two weeks or more before mating and depositing their eggs in the riffles so the trout get a good chance to see many of these flies, they will hatch throughout the day but you rarely see an abundance hatching all at once like mayflies and caddis.
Golden stones are one of the most important stoneflies for the angler, the nymphs live for two years before crawling above water onto rocks or logs to hatch into winged adults, the nymphs can be an important food source all year. These are big, meaty flies (6-8 hook size) and the trout will often take the bugs even when feeding on a hatch of other flies. Once you start seeing their nymph shucks on rocks, a yellow stimulator dry fly is hard to beat; these are good attractor flies, often triggering strikes from trout that are not actively feeding and can draw strikes from large fish that are usually reluctant to take a fly from the surface;
Yellow and lime sallies are smaller stoneflies with a thinner body than the more robust bodies of their larger cousins and can be seen throughout the summer. Most are in the 14-16 size range and are often on the water together. As with most stoneflies, they are most available to the trout when they flutter over the water mating or depositing their eggs. The females often have red or orange egg sacs attached to their abdomen just forward of the tails and carrying a few flies that have this attribute is a good idea.
Midges are another aquatic insect that can be important to the fly angler (just ask anyone who fishes the Elk River), they are tiny flies (18-28 hook size) and can be a nightmare to see on the water. They come in many colors but the most common are black, olive, cream, and sometimes red. These insects are very plentiful on most streams but the trout will normally favor larger insects when available. When the trout are feeding on midges it can be extremely frustrating fishing, the flies are almost impossible to see on the water and the tiny hooks and light tippet make it difficult to get a good hook set. Trout will feed on the larvae and adults at the same time; once they hatch, they begin mating soon after where they will form a cluster, which is well represented by a griffiths gnat fly. A good tactic is to fish a size 18 griffiths gnat, which is visible on the water with its palmered hackle and peacock body, trailed by a single midge fly or larvae dropper in the appropriate color and size of the natural.
Terrestrial insects also play a big role in the summer, ants, beetles, grasshoppers, and crickets are available to the trout when they fall from overhanging vegetation or the wind blows them onto the water. These insects come in a variety of sizes and colors and can bring fish to the surface when there is no hatch in progress. I have had some of my best dry fly fishing in the summer with ants in low water in shade under overhanging limbs; trout seem to love ants for some reason. Size 16-18 ants in black or brown have saved the day for me many times when I find trout rising with no obvious hatch in progress. Late in the summer when most aquatic insects have waned, a grasshopper or cricket floated along a grassy undercut bank can draw savage strikes from some very large trout; just remember to match the size and color of what hoppers you see along the stream.
If you have ever wondered why fly anglers carry so many flies, it is because of the sheer number of insects that trout feed on. There are fly patterns that represent everything from the nymph to the adult and all stages in between; it all depends on what the trout are feeding on and for reasons known only to the fish. On some days, they will feed only on the emerging mayfly as it struggles to free itself from the surface while the same fish will feed on the nymphs of the same insect the following day but not touch the emergers, go figure.
The last couple weeks I have just given a short overview of most insects that trout feed on, there are others, such as dragonflies, damselflies, crane flies, the list goes on and then there are minnows, crawfish, hellgrammites, and other morsels that entice trout and are important on any given day. I remember one day I spotted a huge rainbow that was rising sporadically during a heavy hatch of mayflies, I tried everything I had but the fish just remained in his feeding lane ignoring my best flies until I saw a dragonfly hit the water nearby, the trout shot over about five feet and annihilated the bug. I looked in one of the many fly boxes I carry and found an old dragonfly, I tied it on, cast it hitting the water hard as I had just witnessed the real one do, and the trout hammered it. I ended up with a beautiful 25-inch rainbow on a fly I have not caught another fish on before or since but on that day, it was just what I needed, that's why I carry so many flies in my vest.

The adoption of single-use products in bioprocess manufacturing has been growing at a 15–20% compounded rate in recent years. As part of this increasing usage, there have been numerous analyses comparing the use of disposables with that of traditional stainless steel manufacturing equipment. Initially focusing on a basic cost-benefit analysis of the two options, the scope has expanded to include assessments comparing the carbon footprint of the two technologies.
Drug developers are scrutinizing their environmental footprints and are investigating alternates to lower their carbon, water, and land footprints. Many manufacturers still believe that reusable stainless steel facilities offer the lowest environmental footprint as these facilities can be used to produce many batches of product over many years of operation.
Facilities engineered for single-use typically require less space and therefore less energy consumption. While additional solid waste may be generated, benefits include reduction in water, chemicals, and energy needed to clean and sanitize stainless steel equipment.
As part of a corporate sustainability initiative, EMD Millipore closely monitors the life-cycle impact of its Mobius® single-use product line from the earliest stages of manufacturing through disposal of used products and has put in place initiatives to reduce the overall carbon footprint. In doing so, we are able to help our customers also further their own green initiatives.
As a first step in assessing the footprint of our Mobius products, we conducted a complete life-cycle analysis (LCA) for a typical single-use assembly. Surprisingly, the analysis revealed that disposal of the single-use products was not, in fact, the biggest contributor to global warming potential. The LCA revealed that two areas, manufacture of single-use products and the mode of transportation of assemblies to the end user, can have a significantly larger carbon footprint.
These results led us to focus on the manufacturing process and, in particular, cleanroom operations, as a way to reduce the overall environmental impact of our single-use product line. In this article, we describe how our organization made improvements based on sustainable design principles and subsequently reduced the environmental impact of this phase of the products' life cycle.
As production of our Mobius single-use assemblies increased to meet demand, it became clear that cleanroom operations at our existing facility couldn't handle the increased manufacturing volume. A team was chartered to explore the possibility of renovating an unused warehouse and manufacturing space on the EMD Millipore campus into a new 10,000 square foot cleanroom and support areas to meet production demand. The team proposed to construct the facility in accordance with LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) principles developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). This was first of many initiatives to make our single-use product line more environmentally sustainable.
The LEED certification program is an internationally recognized green building certification system. The program provides third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies that improve performance in areas including energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, stewardship of resources, and sensitivity to their impacts. Projects receive points for activities in these categories and need to amass a sufficient number to achieve LEED certification.
Once our LEED certification initiative was launched, we faced an interesting challenge. The LEED certification process, although well defined to guide and certify the construction of office spaces and municipal buildings, offers limited guidance or precedence to certify a manufacturing cleanroom.
Our cleanroom project did not quite fit any of the specific building categories USGBC has developed. The closest category is LEED-CI (Commercial Interiors), designated for spaces within a building that are being updated or changed.
While this was essentially what was planned for the Mobius cleanroom area, the criteria as written didn't quite align with our initiative. For example, one LEED-CI criteria is providing individual light and air controls, impossible to accomplish in a cleanroom. Another is reducing water from bathroom fixtures, difficult to achieve since there are no bathroom fixtures in the project area.
To navigate the extensive LEED certification process, we brought in a team of external consultants that specializes in design, processing, and commissioning of LEED-certified new construction and commercial interior building projects. The team's role was to identify and implement sustainable items into the project, verify items to make sure they met or exceeded the LEED requirements, and gather and prepare final documentation to submit to USGBC for certification.

No. 4: "Batman" (1989)
After the "Superman" series came to a dismal end in 1987, the superhero movie genre was rejuvenated two years later -- not so much with a re-introduction to DC Comics' Batman legend and his iconic nemesis, The Joker, but with director Tim Burton's daring casting choices in the key roles: Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson.
But thanks to the comedian's deathly serious role as Bruce Wayne/Batman and the serious actor's turn as a deadly but hilarious Joker, "Batman" quickly earned its classic movie status.
With Burton at the helm, it wasn't a shock that we saw The Dark Knight through a twisted, dark maze of havoc created by The Joker -- a far cry from the lightweight camp of the "Batman" television series (1966-1968) starring Adam West in the title role and Burt Ward as his sidekick, Robin.
The film was a monster hit and spawned one Burton-directed sequel, before the series descended into a hapless quadrilogy and the "Batman" series turned into an embarrassing "in-thing to do" for the "who's who" in Hollywood.

After a regular season full of disappointment, a playoff win was a �long-time coming.�
Bayfield High School won just two games all regular season, but when it mattered most, when the Wolverines� boys basketball season was on the line, BHS won to see another game.
Bayfield beat Monte Vista 49-33 on Tuesday night in the Intermountain League pigtail game to reach this weekend�s IML Tournament.
�It was a super-good game,� BHS head coach Bill Hesford said Tuesday night from Monte Vista. �The kids played a really, really good game.�
Bayfield solved the Pirates� 2-3 zone defense, won the rebounding battle, then earned the victory with a widespread offensive attack.
�We got really balanced scoring, and that�s something we�ve struggled with all season long,� Hesford said.
Geoff Pope led BHS with 11 points, and the Wolverines� guard added six rebounds and two assists.
Joey Webb had 10 points and five rebounds.
Preston Hardy had eight points and 11 rebounds, and Tyler Kerr had eight points and five rebounds.
John Fisher scored six points for the Wolverines.
�Our seniors played a lot of minutes,� Hesford said. �Clearly, they didn�t want to be done playing yet.�
And they�re not.
Bayfield (3-17) will play Pagosa Springs (17-2) at 6 p.m. Friday in the two-day IML Tournament in Alamosa.

By now we're guessing you - like so many of us in the area - are sick and tired of winter.
It has been a seemingly endless run of rain, snow, cold, ice, more snow, extreme cold and when the sun does shine it's when the mercury barely gets into the teens.
Forecasters may say better weather is ahead. We know that. But spring and summer seem pretty far away on Feb. 10 when there is snow virtually everywhere and ice lurks on sidewalks and driveways all around town.
What can we do to beat this depressing weather that has many people in the winter doldrums?
Here are some tips from various experts in the field:
Get outside when you can.
- If getting outside isn't feasible, force yourself to get active for at least a few minutes each day, even if it's walking around the house.
- Light therapy boxes can help when you are feeling low.
- Socialize - talking with friends and family can reduce the sadness that comes with winter.
- Eat well - A good diet ensures that you have adequate energy.
-You might even be coming down with a case of seasonal affected disorder. Don't let it continue for a long period, call your doctor for advice on what to do. Symptoms of SAD include feeling unhappy, loss of energy and the ability to concentrate, losing a desire to work or being sluggish.
Depression can be a much more serious condition, one that required help from professionals. That condition goes far beyond the winter blues we're talking about here. We hope any feelings of wintertime depression pass and that you'll be able to cope with day-to-day life. Keep in mind spring is just a five weeks away.

Election time can be confusing, even besides choosing between candidates. So, let's try to minimize confusion.
There are two elections of interest to East Cooper residents: the 1st Congressional District Special Election and the municipal election for Sullivan's Island Town Council.
The congressional race is between Republican Mark Sanford and Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch. Green party member Eugene Platt is also listed on a sample ballot by the Charleston County Board of Elections and Voter Registration (BEVR) office.
In Sullivan's Island, residents will vote for a mayor and three town council seats. Mike Perkis, current mayor pro tem, is the only registered candidate running for mayor, but at least a portion of island voters are planning to write in current mayor Carl Smith's name on the ballot.
Chauncey Clark, Bill Matthews, Susan Middaugh and Pat O'Neil are all running for three vacant council seats. O'Neil is the only incumbent.
A Sullivan's Island town ordinance allows political signs to be posted in yards up to two weeks before an election and mandates that all signs must be removed within one week of the election, according to the town's e-newsletter. That would make Tuesday, May 14 as the date for sign removal.
Polls at Sunrise Presbyterian Church, on 3222 Middle Street, will be open from 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. on Tuesday for registered voters.
Island residents wishing to vote in both elections – congressional and municipal – have to check in to two different lines. Poll workers from the area and representatives from Charleston County will be available for assistance. Prior to Tuesday, questions should be directed to the BEVR at 744-VOTE.
Both elections require photo identification prior to filling out a ballot. A South Carolina driver's license, ID card issued by S.C. Department of Motor Vehicles, S.C. voter registration card with photo, federal military ID and a U.S. passport are all suffice for photo identification. Voters only need to present one of these.

In a new essay for Time, Sorkin recalls his friend's now chilling words during a break from rehearsing Charlie Wilson's War, the 2007 drama starring Hoffman and written by Sorkin.
The two had bonded over their shared struggles: The West Wing creator abused cocaine in the '90s, and Hoffman battled heroin addiction throughout his life.
"I told him I felt lucky because I'm squeamish and can't handle needles. He told me to stay squeamish," Sorkin, 52, writes. "And he said this: 'If one of us dies of an overdose, probably 10 people who were about to won't.' He meant that our deaths would make news and maybe scare someone clean."
The conversation proved ominously prophetic. Hoffman was found dead of an apparent overdose in his West Village apartment Sunday morning. He was 46.
Since then, police have arrested four people in connection with drugs found in his apartment, and Desperate Housewives actor Shawn Pyfrom came forward with his own story of addiction, spurred by Hoffman's death.
But Sorkin wants to make clear that Hoffman – whom he calls "this kind, decent, magnificent, thunderous actor" – didn't die from an overdose. Heroin itself, he says, killed him.
"We should stop implying that if he'd just taken the proper amount then everything would be fine," Sorkin writes. "He didn't die because he was partying too hard or because he was depressed – he died because he was an addict on a day of the week with a y in it."
Later, Sorkin lists the Oscar winner's many awards, urging, "Let's add to that 10 people who were about to die who won't now."

I am only 7 weeks. And I am almost already starting to regret getting pregnant I was a fool to believe he would be nice this time around ugh :(

The hurdles for SMEs to access trade credit and its importance as a funding tool for SMEs, were discussed by attendees at an event by ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) launching ACCA's research report SMEs, Financial Reporting and Trade Credit: An International Study.
Discussing the motivation for the research, Jill Collis, Director of the Accounting and Auditing Research Centre at Brunel University, said that trade credit is a more important source of liquidity for SMEs than bank lending, and yet receives much less attention.
The report looked at how businesses in Finland, the UK, the USA and South Africa use information, especially from financial reports, in order to provide their customers with trade credit.
The research revealed that in all countries, the creditworthiness of customers was assessed on both financial, or 'hard', and non-financial, or 'soft' information. Soft information included relationships and trust, word-of-mouth and the track record of the customer, to name but a few. The importance of soft information varied, driven by cultural and more regulatory factors, but was particularly high in developing countries, where public and private institutions were less established.
Professor Jarvis, ACCA Special Adviser noted that 'what was evident from the research was the reliance of trade credit for SMEs in the early part of their life-cycle – and the gap that opens up later in life, when growing businesses are still unable to access bank credit, yet are also unable to scale up the easy, direct and personal access to trade credit they had early on.'
The discussion highlighted that across the different countries culture played huge importance in what was deemed acceptable when deliberating terms of credit agreements. In the USA, for instance, private companies are unwilling to release any information unless asked – an attitude participants had also come across in Europe, particularly Germany. US businesspeople were prepared to give their financial statements to the bank, but not ordinarily to customers or suppliers.
This research bears particular relevance in the UK where a consultation is currently underway on opening up access to the banks' credit data on SMEs, in order to stimulate competition in the lending market. Throughout the course of this discussion it became apparent that increasing the supply of raw information is not necessarily the answer as in some instances it can offer a competitive advantage to the borrower's customers and competitors. Attendees agreed it's about the right information as opposed to the volume and breadth of information.
High on the discussion agenda were the merits of systems such as the USA's, where, in the absence of formal disclosure obligations, trade credit decisions are dominated by company and individual credit ratings, versus that of Finland, which benefits from near-total transparency via public registers. These were in turn compared to the UK requirement for companies to list information with Companies House. Attendees contemplated whether increased disclosure placed an unnecessary burden on SMEs or increased their chances of accessing finance.
Ultimately, participants conceded that even private credit ratings rely on a mix of voluntary and mandatory disclosures. Moreover, it was stressed repeatedly that these disclosures are not a burden, but genuinely create value, because in their absence the informal 'market' for trade credit breaks down. Finally, it became clear that confidentiality, not cost, is the main concern of SMEs when it comes to public disclosures.
The issue, then, is whether debtors and creditors are better served by public financial statements as opposed to the 'black box' approach of credit scores, and how the process of providing the necessary information could become more cost-effective for SMEs.

5 Ways to Spot a B.S. Political Story in Under 10 Seconds
An election year is a shit blizzard. Every place you go for news online -- whether it's portal sites like Reddit, or aggregators like Google News or Yahoo! News or RealClearPolitics, or goddamned clips from late night talk shows -- they're all about to get buried under a brown storm of bullshit inflammatory headlines desperate for your click.
This turdstorm of pointless click-bait filler is a problem for anyone who wants to be an informed voter. To learn anything useful, you need to be able to sort through all of the garbage to find the actual information and insight. So let me just tell you right now that you can safely ignore any story if ...
#5. The Headline Contains the Word "Gaffe"
Basically, It's ...
A politician accidentally misspoke in a way that made him or her look silly, and the opponents are pouncing on it.
If you're new to following politics, trust me when I say you will grow to absolutely hate the word "gaffe." Go to a news portal or a politics blog and search for the word "gaffe" and watch the server nearly burst into flames trying to serve results. This is from RealClearPolitics:
"Obama gaffe," "Romney gaffe," "Perry gaffe," "Biden gaffe" -- every party gets it equally. The word just means "embarrassing mistake," and I have literally never heard it used outside of the context of a meaningless, bullshit filler political news story. I'm not normally an angry man, but it's such an obnoxious word that if somebody at work used "gaffe" in a sentence I would fling my goddamned coffee into his face.
So for instance, during the health care reform debate, President Obama gave approximately 9 million speeches outlining how his plan supposedly would make the system more efficient. Then, in one speech, he stumbled, and instead of saying that the plan would rid the system of inefficiencies, he accidentally said it would bring inefficiencies. This slip of the tongue unleashed a torrent of headlines and blog posts and talk radio rants. On the other side, at a Mitt Romney campaign event, John McCain accidentally mixed up two words that implied Romney liked wasteful government earmarks. Boom! Gaffe!
These are completely information-free news events, and they absolutely dominate political news coverage and analysis. It's like asking your doctor if the X-rays show a tumor, and all he'll talk about is how stupid the radiologist's haircut looks.
You're probably asking why routine slips of the tongue continually become news headlines when they have absolutely no impact at all on the candidates' positions or platforms, or what they intend to do in office, or how capable they are of doing it, or anything else. Good fucking question! The answer is that many (if not most) people don't follow politics in order to find out who to vote for as part of their duty as citizens living in a democracy. They follow it purely as a form of entertainment. They're like sports fans, rooting for their "team" to win.
If you think these folks are any less drunk than soccer hooligans, you've never been to a political convention.
And as you're going to find out, virtually all political news coverage is written to appeal to those people. They're the most rabid "consumers" of news, and their traffic is the most reliable, so the news is tailored to appeal to them.
In the business, they derisively call it "horse race journalism," where the stories focus purely on the "sport" of politics rather than the consequences. A study found that in 1960, about half of the political news stories were about actual policy and the other half were these frivolous "who's winning the game" stories. Today, only 17 percent of stories are about stuff that matters.
Screw baseball. We want to see Obama body-check someone into the wall of a hockey rink.
That's where the gaffe stories come in. See, in this game, your "team" scores a point each time the other team says something stupid. It lets all of the supporters of your team mock and humiliate the supporters of the opposing team, on Internet message boards and around water coolers and in coffee shops nationwide. "Haha! The supposed 'genius' Obama thinks there are 57 states in the U.S.!" "Oh, yeah? Well, your last president said he was going to help terrorists plan their next attack!"
And it never ends, because if your "team" gives up a gaffe, then you need to dig one up on the other side to even the score. So, last month the Romney campaign was embarrassed when an adviser came off like he was comparing his own candidate to an Etch A Sketch toy. Thus, this month the Romney campaign had to jump on an Obama adviser's gaffe that came off like she was saying that stay-at-home moms don't do work. And on and on it goes.
It's a dark age for politics, but a golden age for the bumper sticker industry.
While You're at It, Look out for ...
A variation of this is the stories of embarrassing yet totally inconsequential "scandals" about a candidate that involve nothing illegal or improper, but supposedly define the candidate as a person.
Hey, did you know that Barack Obama is an out-of-touch elitist because he puts fancy Dijon mustard on his hamburgers? Did you know that Mitt Romney is an insane sociopath because he once made his pet dog ride on top of his car 26 years ago? Did you know John Kerry can't relate to the average person because he puts Swiss cheese on his Philly cheese steaks? Did you know that George W. Bush hates foreigners so much that he wiped his hand after shaking hands with a Haitian? Did you know that all of this is petty schoolyard bullshit that wastes valuable time and energy that you'll never get back?
His elbows are on the table! CALL MATT DRUDGE!
Hey, that reminds me. Watch out if ...
#4. The Headline Ends in a Question Mark
Basically, It's ...
A news story so questionable the publication literally felt the need to mark it as such.
The ugliest use of this is when news aggregators like Matt Drudge use question marks to put forth a bullshit conspiracy theory to avoid having to stand behind it. For instance, when a new book came out claiming President Obama had no valid birth certificate because he was actually a foreigner living under a false identity, Drudge promoted it like this:
Hey, he's not saying President Obama is living a lie and is secretly a Muslim foreigner sent to infiltrate America from within. He's just asking the question. What's wrong with asking questions? Questions like "Is Matt Drudge a cancer on the asshole of modern journalism?" I don't know. I'm just throwing it out there. You can say absolutely anything as long as you glue a question mark to the end, and nobody can complain.
Of course, the book Drudge was promoting ...
Crackpot conspiracy theories from a 9/11 truther? No one could have called that.
... was turned into an expensive shim for a short table leg when the administration released his real birth certificate right as it was about to go on sale. But that in no way reflects on Drudge's credibility, because he never said he believed the book. He was simply wondering out loud. Same as another outlet wondered aloud about McCain's "Secret Dossier on Romney":
If that dossier isn't full of candid Romney nipple-shots, we're not interested.
I like how that one doesn't even phrase a whole question -- it's just a few scary, scandalous words with a question mark ("Ron Paul's Covert Sex Commandos?").
And then you get leading question headlines, like the sarcastic "Can Government Do Anything Well?" or "Is Mitt Romney the Greatest Liar Ever?"
Then you have your "outlandish assertion softened by question mark" headlines:
We're not saying America is headed for a bloody civil war, we're just askin.' You can't even rebut it -- how can you rebut a question?
While You're at It, Look out for ...
Sometimes they'll mix things up and instead of question marks just use "may" or "might" or "rumored to" in the title. It accomplishes the same thing:
Maybe they are, maybe they're not. Who's to say? Not this headline.
#3. The Headline Contains the Word "Blasts"
Basically, It's ...
A politician or other prominent person has taken to a microphone to say something inflammatory about the other side, usually by rephrasing their own party's talking points over and over.
First they trick you into thinking something cool happened, then BOOM. News.
Politics isn't always a sport. Sometimes it's a schoolyard face-off where all of the press gathers around the arguing kids in a circle, chanting, "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!" In politics, of course, they don't punch each other, they "blast" each other with words. And I mean it's almost always described that way. Here, let's go to some news portal again and this time search for the words "Obama blasts." Look at how many articles you get just in the last few days:
What does it mean to you? It means a politician publicly disagrees with the opposing party in a completely expected way that changes nothing about the political landscape or national policy whatsoever. When they get tired of "blasts," sometimes they'll mix things up with "rips" or "lashes out at" or "unloads on," but usually "blasts" is the go-to word.
By the way, in case you're tempted to click on one of these because you're eager to hear a 78-year-old senator call another senator "King Fucktard," you'll be disappointed. The "blast" behind this headline ...
... was this:
"This new math fits the old pattern of mischaracterizations about the Affordable Care Act when official estimates show the health care law reduces the deficit."
Daaaaamn! Did you see that shit! I swear, the White House was this close to beating his ass! Calm down there, Joe Pesci in Goodfellas!
These stories are, as you can see, just as content-free as the "gaffe" stories. But they are popular for the same reason: There's a petty, tribal satisfaction in seeing a member of our team really put the other team in their place. And there's a rush of outrage adrenaline when the other team says something mean about us. So, instead of covering pending legislation or the impact it could have on your life, the news media covers the dick-measuring contest.
While You're at It, Look out for ...
Like the gaffes, this, too, is a cycle. Any politician can get a crowd of microphones in front of him by "blasting" the president or a candidate or whoever else is a big target for blasting. Then, the crowd of microphones will all rush off to whoever got blasted, and get them to blast back. Or "lash" back:
This will mean that the original blaster has now "drawn fire."
And on and on.
But while we're at it, look out for a much more subtle, and devious, version of this ...

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis looked like two – affectionate – peas in a pod over the weekend.
Kutcher, 34, and Kunis, 29, were photographed on Sunday in New York City showing their loyalty for the Chicago Bears – and for each other – in matching blue T-shirts and jeans. The couple watched football in a sports bar and later grabbed some ice cream in the West Village.
The two, who last week were spotted passionately kissing in Central Park – packed on the PDA as Kucther embraced Kunis from behind, wrapping his arms around her while on the street.
The couple's love-fest lasted all weekend long: They had dinner at The Lion in the West Village on Friday, where "they were holding hands, the whole thing," says a source. "It seemed like they wanted everyone to know they were together."
They also had a cozy dinner at Spasso restaurant on Saturday night. The former That 70s Show costars, who have been linked since April, were "all lovey-dovey" as they dined with another couple, according to an observer. They dined on mussels and drank rosé and shared two desserts, including a citrus bomboloni. They were later photographed smooching outside the restaurant.

Florida's seasonally adjusted unemployment dipped to its lowest level in more than four years in February when it dropped to 7.7 percent.
It's the lowest jobless rate in Florida since October 2008, when unemployment stood at 7.4 percent in the state.
There were 729,000 jobless Floridians in February when the state's unemployment rate was 7.7 percent.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott successfully campaigned on creating 700,000 new jobs in Florida over a seven-year span and has made that the primary issue of his administration.
The Department of Economic Opportunity reported Friday that 128,100 jobs have been added in Florida over the past year, with the leisure and hospitality industry leading the way with more than 41,000 new jobs.

COLUMBIA — Frank Martin's second season as South Carolina's basketball coach will actually be more of a fresh start than his first.
Last season, Martin welcomed four newcomers to his roster. But he lost one of his two most important newcomers when senior transfer guard LaShay Page was declared academically ineligible after the first semester. Even as freshman wing player Michael Carrera thrived at times during the season's second half, USC still finished 14-18, 4-14 in the Southeastern Conference.
Next season, USC will try to avoid its fifth straight losing overall record — something that has happened just once in program history, and not since 1918-19 to 1922-23, when the Gamecocks never played more than 19 games in a season. Martin understands that the road to relevance will not be easy for a team that went 17-53 against league competition during the past four seasons.
But if there is to be a transformation of USC basketball under Martin, it will begin in earnest next season. USC announced Friday that four underclassmen from last year's team have requested releases from their scholarships and will not return: point guard Eric Smith, shooting guard Brian Richardson, shooting guard Damien Leonard and forward RJ Slawson, a Fort Dorchester High graduate.
Their departures clear the way for Martin to add eight newcomers next season, including seven freshmen. Of USC's 14 scholarship players — a group that includes point guard Bruce Ellington even though he is on a football scholarship — just six will ever have played for the Gamecocks. Those returners include junior power forward Carlton Geathers, who has been with the team for three seasons, but played just one, 2011-12, when he averaged one point and 7.8 minutes.
Among the departing players, Smith, Richardson and Slawson were going to be seniors, Leonard a junior. Of these four, Smith was the biggest factor last season, when he averaged 27.7 minutes and 5.7 points and started 27 of 32 games. Richardson, Slawson and Leonard averaged 18.3, 15.8 and 14.8 minutes and 7.5, 4.2 and four points. None of the four were ever stars at USC.
Even during last season, Martin was already making over his backcourt. Midway through the year, he brought in point guard Tyrone Johnson, a Villanova transfer who will be eligible as a junior after next season's first semester. In November, Martin signed shooting guards Sindarius Thornwell and Justin McKie, and power forward Desmond Ringer. On Friday, USC announced the signing of point guard Duane Notice, small forward Reggie Theus Jr. and power forward Demetrius Henry. The eighth new player, point guard Jaylen Shaw, is expected to sign soon.
Johnson, Thornwell and Henry are the three biggest additions. Coming out of high school, Johnson was rated the No. 52 player in his class by Rivals, and the No. 11 point guard. Thornwell is rated No. 43 overall and No. 11 among shooting guards. Henry is rated No. 100 overall and No. 17 among centers.
Henry picked USC over Miami on Wednesday and gives the Gamecocks much-needed length, with his 6-9, 210-pound frame. His arrival means Carrera, who is 6-5, might not have to battle as often against bigger players in the post. Martin has said that part of Carrera's progression in college will involve him developing a mid-range game and playing farther from the basket.
Despite the exodus of players who were eligible to return, the Gamecocks still bring back their three leading scorers from last season — senior shooting guard Brenton Williams (11 points per game), Carrera (9.9) and Ellington (9.9), a Berkeley High graduate who will be a senior. The other two returning players, in addition to Geathers, are small forward Mindaugas Kacinas and power forward Laimonas Chatkevicius, who had up-and-down seasons in Martin's first year.
Martin has said that, most of the time, he doesn't like leaning on freshmen, because the college game often overwhelms them. With freshmen comprising half of his roster next season, Martin will have to catch them up as quickly as he can.

Rep. Tom Reed of Corning may be a rising star in Republican ranks in Washington, but he's facing a spirited young Democratic challenger who's going to every length to shoot him out of the sky.
Nate Shinagawa, the 28-year-old vice chairman of the Tompkins County Legislature, has raised far more money than Reed's 2010 opponent.
And a poll conducted by Public Policy Polling showed Shinagawa only 5 percentage points behind Reed, although the Reed camp questioned the results because the sample included slightly more Democrats than Republicans.
Shinagawa has tailored his message to every corner of the far-flung 23rd Congressional District, which stretches from Chautauqua County eastward to Ithaca.
He stresses his differences with Reed over an electrical power issue in Dunkirk, over hydraulic fracturing for natural gas, or "fracking," and over the lack of a federal Farm Bill, while Reed focuses on his record of constituent service and his conservative stance on spending, taxes and the economy.
One central theme ties together those strands of Shinagawa's argument.
"I feel like the congressman is out of touch when it comes to helping people in this district," said Shinagawa, a medical administrator for a nonprofit hospital chain who moved to the district more than a decade ago.
Reed insists that Shinagawa doesn't mesh with the 23rd District, where Republicans have a 3-point edge.
"The campaign he's running is that of a Democrat from Ithaca," Reed said. "I don't think that fits the entire district very well."
Shinagawa has raised $709,727 and bought television time in four of the district's five media markets, including Buffalo. But Reed, who has raised nearly $2 million, maintains a stronger advertising presence.
There's no doubt, though, that Shinagawa is taking the fight directly to the incumbent congressman.
In Western New York for example, he's blasting Reed for his support of a power transmission project that aims to bring Canadian hydropower to the New York City area. The union that represents workers at the NRG plant in Dunkirk argues that the project threatens the facility's future.
"Congressman Reed is taking the lead on a project that not only ships jobs out of our country and our district, but will cost taxpayers more to make it happen," Shinagawa said.
For his part, Reed said he backs the Canadian project because he's all for cheap power – and that his opponent is not. Proof of that, Reed said, is Shinagawa's opposition to hydraulic fracturing.
While Shinagawa says he has seen no evidence that fracking can be done safely, Reed is an outspoken advocate of the practice who formed a Marcellus Shale Caucus as one of his first moves in the House.
"Cheap power is one of the things that will keep us competitive in the world market," Reed said. "It will increase the chance of us getting new manufacturing plants in Western New York and upstate New York."
And while Shinagawa said Reed is complicit in the House's failure to pass a Farm Bill – leaving farmers uncertain about the future of federal programs – Reed blamed it on a House-Senate stalemate.
Despite their deep differences, the two candidates both have ebullient personalities that make them well-suited to the campaign trail.
What they stress, though, is far different.
Shinagawa praises the Affordable Care Act and says that, with his background as a medical administrator, he can add a knowing voice to the health care debate.
In contrast, Reed wants to repeal the Obama health care law while keeping its most popular provisions, including the ban on insurance companies discriminating against those with pre-existing conditions.
Shinagawa says taxes on high-income people must be raised as part of a comprehensive solution to the nation's budget crisis – as must repeal of tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas.
But Reed, a member of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee who has made taming the deficit one of his central goals, said tax rates should go down as part of a comprehensive tax reform and budget-balancing plan that eliminates many deductions.
The candidates' personal stories differ, too.
Shinagawa, who is of Japanese and Korean descent, talks on the trail about his grandfather's experiences in an internment camp in World War II, as well as his own experience forging the first bipartisan budget that Tompkins County had seen in years.
"I have a history of bipartisanship, and I don't think Congressman Reed has that attribute," he said.
Reed stresses his family's deep roots in Corning and his own bipartisan record. Every bill he has introduced has had a Democratic co-sponsor,he says, and he's part of the bipartisan "Go Big Coalition" aiming at a compromise budget solution.
"I'm very practical in the approach to things," Reed said. "That's the way people are in this district. It's in our blood."

The American dream sometimes seemed unatainable for lower classes of the 20th century. But the Regionalist movement of the early to mid-1900s showed common people that perhaps the American dream was already a part of their lives.
The Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art at Loretto chose to focus on this movement and its followers in their exhibit "Red, White and Blue in Black and White: The American Scene in Prints, Drawings, and Photographs," on view in the museum's Margery Wolf-Kuhn Gallery through May 4.
Culled from SAMA's permanent collection, the 35 works in the exhibit include much from the Regionalism movement of the 1920s to 1950s, but contains works from 1890 to 1991.
Article Photos
"Cradling Wheat" (1939) by Thomas Hart Benton, lithograph
"Three Workers in a Field" (no date) by Berenice Abbott, gelatin silver print
"We have a pretty nice print collection - quite a bit of it from the '30s and '40s," said Scott Dimond, curator for visual arts at SAMA. "Prints were quite popular at the time - they were being marketed to regular folks.
"[Regionalism] was sort of a reaction to the modern art of the 1920s. There was sort of this 'back-to-basics' movement. All this great imagery came out of this time."
Dimond, who put the exhibit together, said he was looking for pieces which showed off a kind of typically American visual of the time. With that in mind, the exhibit features such scenes as laborers in a vast field, a well-dressed crowd gathering in a city street and a group of women riding a merry-go-round.
Fact Box
If you go
What: "Red, White and Blue in Black and White:
The American Scene in Prints, Drawings and Photographs"
Where: Margery Wolf-Kuhn Gallery at the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art at Loretto, on the St. Francis University campus
When: Through May 4
Museum hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday
Admission: Free
"It's got a pretty good mix of stuff," Dimond said. "There's a lot of landscapes, some portraits and what you would call American archetypes. ... The one thing that links the show together is that it has to be in black and white and it has to depict something sort of iconic for the American experience."
The exhibit doesn't skimp on big names either. Two of the most famous Regionalist artists, Thomas Hart Benton and Grant Wood, are represented in "Red, White and Blue in Black and White."
Benton was known for his depictions of colorful, statue-like characters shown engaging in typical American activities. Later, as a teacher at the Art Students League of New York, he mentored impressionist great Jackson Pollock.
Wood is best known for the painting "American Gothic," which depicts a dour looking farm couple, the bespectacled man holding a pitchfork.
The Benton works in the exhibit are among Dimond's favorites.
"I always like the Benton stuff," he said. "It's very expressive. It's also very much in the spirit of the times, I think."
The works depicting American scenes should appeal to a wide audience, said Bobby Moore, SAMA interim curator.
"I think it's a fantastic exhibition that depicts American history," she said. "Because at the time, the artist would create works that were representative of the period. ... And there's a variety of subjects depicted, as well."
Dimond agreed.
"I think the material is certainly worth a look," he said. "It's got artistic value, educational value and gets you into the mindset of the times.
"It's the sort of thing where your grandparents might be able to talk about these things to their grandkids, as they're scenes that they would be familiar with."

Thursday, September 12, 2013
This week the Swamp Foxes host a team that seems to be on the rise.
The Wildcats of West Ashley will carry a 2-0 record to The Swamp Friday.
After finishing the season at 1-10 last year, West Ashley opened the 2013 season by defeating two-time defending Class AA Bishop England 28-6 and defeating James Island 23-17 last week.
The Swamp Foxes, on the other hand, sport an 0-2 record after falling 56-28 to Goose Creek and 45-26 to Wando. In both losses, Ashley Ridge had a strong start but struggled in the second half.
The Wildcats should be more of an even match for the Swamp Foxes, but do still pose a threat. Last week West Ashley rolled up 460 yards of offense.
With returning quarterback Pedro Manigault leading the way, the Wildcats have demonstrated they can move the ball on the ground or in the air.
Manigault has 220 rushing yards on the season but he isn't the team's only offensive weapon. The Wildcats have several speedy running backs and receivers who show promise.
Last week, West Ashley kicker Tyler Pentz hit a 46-yard field goal.
The West Ashley defense returned seven starters this season. Other than a couple of late scores surrendered to James Island late in last week's game, the unit has played well.
However, the Wildcats have never defeated Ashley Ridge in the short history between the programs.
Ashley Ridge also has multiple weapons. The Swamp Foxes have averaged 117 passing yards per game this year. The team is inexperienced at the quarterback position, but has talented receivers.
Tyler Garland and Sean White have been the go-to rushers and run the ball well enough to keep opponents on their toes.
The Wildcats' D should expect at least an equal fight to what it faced the first two weeks if not a better one.
The Swamp Fox defense has allowed its opponents to wear it down this year, but Ashley Ridge coach Kenny Walker believes the unit has potential. Plus, Goose Creek and Wando both seem to have very formidable attacks this season.
Walker said lineman Josh Spigner and linebacker Tyler Moore are both coming off a very good performance against the Warriors.
Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at Ashley Ridge.

The 8 Greatest Wars Ever Fought by Fox News
#4. Obama's Gay War on Marriage
In May of last year, the worst conservative fears had come true -- our president announced that he didn't care if gay people got married. You or I might call that apathy, or maybe basic human decency. Fox News, of course, called it a War on Marriage. Brave husbands around the nation took one last look at their wives before devouring one another's defeated yet eager penises. The straights had lost the war, and with it their right to an uncocked mouth. "I never knew unconditional surrender could feel so good," the straight husband said through frothy lips still moist from their first bite of dick. His words were given only a whisper of a response. .. the heterosexual husband tongue probing his butthole remained as silent as a garden slug.
There's no real cute way to break down the main conservative argument -- that same-sex unions somehow cloud the concept of traditional marriage. They obviously don't. If some guy married a baseball glove full of Jell-O, they'd still recognize you and your wife as the regular married couple and him as the maniac arguing with a gooey catcher's mitt. How ugly is your wife that you need to oppress millions of innocent people in order for us to tell the difference?
Conservatives have proud traditions in this country that they "fight" to protect, and what that basically means is that they think they can still be racist and homophobic if they do it carefully. Nobody at Fox News truly cares about "attacks on traditional marriage." If they did, they'd spend all their time complaining about divorce, which is fucking exactly that every time it happens. If you're not complaining about divorce or interracial marriage or why you're not allowed to shut your woman up with a stick, then you don't care about marital traditions. You just hate gay people. Or more specifically, devoted, loving gay people. If you deny that, yet still want to deny them rights, then fine -- I guess you're saying all men are created equal except for homos. Most of us can't pretend to be that stupid simply to protect our unconfronted homophobia, though.
I don't want this article to spark a lot of shallow political arguments. I know some of you out there want to ruin the lives of gay couples for noble, non-political reasons. If you're one of those people and reading this now, I respect what you're doing for this nation. And I'm sure your mother's abortion doctor is relieved to know that the "biggest mistake of his career" defied the odds and learned to read.
#3. Michelle Obama's War on Food
In the War on Fossil Fuels, it was easy for Fox News to pick sides. They saw those poor coal mine owners and oil executives getting picked on and knew they had to help. How do conservatives know which side to take in a war on food, though? Last year, that tyrant Michelle Obama was looking to cut down on childhood obesity by making school lunches more healthy. Now, we know Fox News will fight for sandwiches when they hurt gay people, but will they fight for sandwiches when they hurt fat kids?
Their War on Meat proved that no matter who they are fighting, Fox News always sides with sandwiches. Here is how the fight went down: The first lady proposed reducing fatty dishes and increasing the portion sizes of vegetables. Naturally, the Fox Nation handled this story with all the tact of a man arriving at a singles volleyball game nude and asking who else has herpes. As one columnist said, "Obama's USDA is creating a nation of vegetarians, by regulation. Take that cattle ranchers!" It's funny he mentioned cattle ranchers, because those words are exactly how you tell a rancher that one of his cows has kicked you in the head.
Calling healthy eating a war is stupidly crazy, but is there any hidden wisdom to be found in these right wing tantrums? Not even a little bit. If you see Michelle Obama helping obese children and you worry about the feelings of ramrod operators, XXXL underpant manufacturers, or asthma inhaler salesmen, you're being a contrary political asshole because you've forgotten how to be anything else. And despite what the contrary political assholes at Fox News say, no one is fighting a war on cheese, sugar, chicken, soda, salt, or panini.
We must all do our part.
Governments don't regulate your soda size because they're tyrants. They do it because it's nicer than calling you fat and waiting for you to pop.
#2. The War on Men
At the end of last year, most of the Internet put this mess of an article on our Facebook pages so we could make fun of it with our friends. It was written by a woman named Suzanne Venker who read a study that claimed men were losing interest in marriage. She suggested that women were to blame because "women aren't women anymore." All in all, she did a great job, considering that a fertility clinic janitor swallowed most of her before she left the test tube.
In any other publication, this article would have been called "I'm Checking to See if My Freshman Gender Studies Teacher Actually Reads These." On FoxNews.com, it was of course called "The War on Men." Suzanne was mocked relentlessly for her conservative-to-no values, her unfocused writing style, and her dingbatty idiocy. A week later, she wrote the rebuttal piece, "Let's Call a Truce in the War on Men." In it, she explained that the reason her article didn't make sense was because it "was supposed to be a teaser for [her] upcoming book, How to Choose a Husband and Make Peace With Marriage."
I've had my differences with the ethics and laziness of FoxNews.com before, but I don't even know what to call it when you start an editorial article and then ask your readers to go buy a book if they want to hear your fucking point. That's why I'd like to respond to Suzanne's failure with a joke. Suzanne Venker walks into a bar and takes out her penis. To find out how the bartender reacts, please buy my upcoming book, "I Was Talking to the Mustache, Slut!" and Other Dick Joke Punchlines.
#1. The War on Women
Republican lawmakers get all the intercourse they require from one another in public restrooms, so it's left them with no need for sexually active women. They think ovaries are the parts of the turkey that minorities eat. If you show Republican congressmen a picture of the female reproductive system, they tell you that's no way to tie a bow tie. They sometimes mix up the words "rape" and "Wednesday." Yet despite all this, they've decided they should legislate everything a woman does with her vagina.
As you've noticed from this article, when the Democratic government tries to regulate or deregulate anything from cars to junk food to killing bald eagles, it's called a war. When the Republican side does it, it's so totally not. They spent a lot of last year trying to convince viewers how ridiculous it was to refer to all these cervix-oppressing laws as a War on Women. Personally, I think referring to any of this political bickering as war is useless hyperbole. When you want the law to transvaginally ultrasound a woman before terminating her pregnancy, that's more like cockblocking than warfare. Still, it's way closer to war than some fussy atheist renaming a Christmas parade. Although both of those situations will give you a real good look at pussies.

Kelly Osbourne is still in the hospital.
The Fashion Police star Tweeted Thursday that doctors are trying to figure why she had a seizure on the set of her E! show earlier that day.
So far, they're still stumped.
"She is scheduled to have more tests," a source told PEOPLE Saturday. "But she has not had another seizure since she was admitted." The source adds that Osbourne, 28, is on medication.
Although TMZ says Osbourne could possibly have epilepsy, which causes seizures, her rep says that may not be the case.
"There is absolutely no confirmed diagnosis regarding Kelly's condition at this time," her rep said. "She is under a doctor's care and they are continuing to run tests."
While taping the show on Thursday, Osbourne reportedly turned to fill-in host Melissa Rivers and said she didn't feel well before falling out of her chair and shaking.
"Kelly is fine," her rep said Saturday, "and thanks everyone for their continued support."

After three days of play, one Summerville team remained alive in the 2014 South Carolina Dixie Youth Minors District 7 All-stars Tournament.
Teams representing Parks Field American, Ladson, Bonneau, Pepperhill, Carolina League, Moncks Corner, Hanahan and Parks Circle/Northwood are vying for the District 7 Minors (age 9-10) championship this week at the Hanahan Recreation Department.
The double-elimination tournament opened Monday and will run through July 11 or 12 depending on whether or not a team makes an undefeated run.
Parks Field remained in the winners bracket by earning a win over Pepperhill on Tuesday and a 5-2 win over Moncks Corner on Wednesday.
Carolina League had a big lead over Parks Circle Tuesday, but allowed the team to rally and earn a 16-14 victory. Carolina League, which fell to Moncks Corner on opening day, was eliminated with the loss.
The winner of the tournament will advance to represent District 7 in the Dixie Youth Minors state tournament.
