|Bluewater Extreme Test the limits of the fly fishing domain

Fair Game?
Interesting article in the latest FFSW on this subject. Not specific to tunoids but makes you think about where your ethics lie. Personally, I think I am fine with any mortality rate as long as it is within MSY per Joskos point. For me, I think it goes back to the fact that this is a blood sport and I am the alpha species. So the issue is are we overfishing or not.
I guess if your own rules are consistent with NMFS rules then that's o.k.
50% mortality on released tuna seems like a bit of a waste.
I think we have to accept that at least half of 'released' school tuna don't make it more than a few hours. We prob'ly got a dozen or two shorts yesterday, all on heavy gear, and at least a half of those looked hopeless boatside. None of those fish came out of the water, all were caught on 30# strike drags, released within seconds, and still more than a few sank tail-first.
If you fish for SBFT or any other small tuna, you need to accept a 50%+ release mortality. Nothing wrong with that per se - it certainly doesn't bother me, although I will move away from small fish if they're all over.
Is there something somehow unethical over killing a dozen SBFT in the course of a day's outing as long as one is fishing by NMFS rules?
|Jim Miller
Just a thought
I've always removed the smaller tuna/albies from the water. I have found it best to revive by sending them head first back into the water. Somewhat forcefully and from about 3 feet above the water. It gets them going in the right direction and revived.
I have NOT had much luck just waving a tuna back and forth at boat side.
Big tuna (over 70 #) it is best to put the boat in gear and hold them along boatside to force water thru the gills. I do this with a small hand gaff thru the lower jaw.
All that said.... I'm not sure how many become crab bait.
Very good point and something I have thought about. My guess is the tin SC15s would rust out in short order. I personally would have no problem donating a fly per tuna. I certainly donate enough to the slammer blues that quite often hang with them. I always wondered given their size relative to the billfish if the fly would impede their feeding or otherwise cause more harm. I don't recall ever seeing any studies on this size fish. Any thoughts there?
Sean M,
Without a doubt you are the poster boy for good SBFT treatment, but it can't be better to take a fish out of water.
Your points about holding the fish from a death spiral are very good and clearly spoken from experience, but I wonder if there is some way of keeping them in the water? For instance billfish are now cut off with sacrificial hooks because of proven harm to the fish when pulled on board.
To me there is nothing more beautiful than a fish that is not removed from the water when caught. With all due respect there are so many pictures on the internet where the fish look like they'd been beat to a pulp before "release".
Your recent photos prove that fish can be landed with care, they look like they could launch from your hands back into blitz mode.
Yet I would think that a sacrifical metal hook and a cut leader after some gorgeous boatside photos would be satisfying for me during the SBFT no-kill season, again just my opinion.
If the opportunity arose I would vote for a no-lift rule during the SBFT no-kill season, no holds barred during it though as most of those are going in the cooler anyway. Kinda of a dumb statement as I am sure no such thing will come up for vote.
Again, this is not a statement of my prowess as a tuna hunter, experience is not the point in question. It is simply a fish handling discussion and some of the other adopted techniques whether pelagic species or pacific salmon might have some value during the schoolie no-kill season, in my humble opinion.
This is not a targeted debate, it's a general topic IMHO - seeing tarpon fought dead, billfish across the laps, steelhead on a boga grip... I believe it's not just our prerogative as anglers to care about fish handling, but our obligation.
I wish everyone took as much care as you and BigDave do!
I don't know if any of the hook release tools would work. My guess is they wouldn't and here is why. If you do fight the fish quick and get them to the boat in say under 10 mins, hopefully well under, for a 20lb bluefin they are still pretty green at the boat. In my experience the angler, and hopefully partner, need to time the spiral they will get into so that the net arrives just as they are coming around. The angler does they're best to get the tuna's head out of the water and into the net. Get the fish quickly out of the net, paying attention to remove the netting from the fins, and remove the hook. We are usually talking size 2/0 at the most so it may take a second to figure out the orientation of the hook and therefore the best angle to get it out quickly. Snap a few pictures if it is a first fish or something important and get them back in the water. This whole process should probably be 30 seconds or less.
Hey Sean,
No worries. Feelings not hurt at all and a valid question. I have caught a few on gear down in florida but not on fly. My feelings are just from reading the studies on hooking mortality.
I am not worried about that with guys like yourself who are concious of the fact that mortality can happen if proper fighting techniques are not used. You know the concerns which is the most important thing. Unfotunately it is not the case with most anlgers and hearing about high albie mortality just has me concerned is all. Most anglers I have seen fighting fish do so poorly. Saw some 30 minute albie battles last year in south county that you just knew the fish was not going to make it.
As far as release methods I really do not know what is the best method. I have always thought with all fish if you are going to release try and keep em in the water. Would a long pole with a cup hook on the end aid in hook removal while the fish is in the water? Worked with coho salmon out west and I would think would be a good release option for tunoids but I could be wrong.
I also know some of the bass I catch probably do die. Studies show probably more than 90% of bass survive with is better than tuna but I know it is a blood sport and live with it. I am more worried about big bass mortality as schoolies get landed so quickly I do not worry much about them dying on me.
I hope my post was not taken as being judgemental, it was not meant that way at all and my pot is as black as anyone elses. Discussion is always good and everyone usually omes away from it with something.
I can't argue with that. If it's cool for both parties and not misunderstood as it sometimes can be, then why not... here goes:
32"?? Cripes - both Sean and I have caught rainbow trout bigger than that
OK back to my *new* civil, nice guy self.
I see your point. I probably wouldn't have phrased it as bluntly as I did if I didn't consider Sean a friend. However, I personally think we should be able to directly challenge each other just like we would a magazine article or any other source of information. How else do we quanitify the weight we should place on the opinions given. Sean may respond that he has caught hundreds of yellowfin off in the Pacific and now his statement would hold a lot more weight. If he says he has never caught anything more than stripers, blues etc...then I won't place as much weight on it. I will still consider it in my continued efforts to improve my skills as an angler. I will tell you I have caught about 30 SBFT and Skipjack over the past two seasons all on fly and at least that many albies over the years. That is the basis for my opinions. If you include the other anglers catches I have witnessed both on my boat and on shore you could probably almost double those totals. Not trying to brag as I am sure there are others who have caught that many in a week. Just being honest and letting the readers know where I am coming from.
As for the 46" fish I cannot comment with certainty. Biggest fish I have gotten was probably about 32". However, that fish was landed on a 10wt and was full of vigor when it went back in the water. I personally think it really comes down to angler skill. I don't think Derek and Nat of First Light would continue to boat the fish they do if they thought they were killing them all. It would be great to get their input on this subject. However, I think we all need to keep in mind that we participate in a blood sport and there will be fatalities. My guess is I have killed more schoolie bass than big fish as they tend to inhale flies. Doesn't mean I will stop fishing if it happens. Hopefully I will get some shots at those bigger tuna this fall in CCB and give you my opinion based on personal experience rather than hypothesis. My hunch is you can land them in good health if you are in shape and have the technique down but I am questioning whether or not it will be an enjoyable experience.
Jane you ignorant sl*t
I think it's healthy to challenge each other to get it right, but my feeling is that the direct 'what do you know' voicing seen twice in this thread tends to defeat the purpose of healthy debate.
Here's my point - healthy debate leads to sharper understandings among the observers and participants. Acrid remarks lead to more acrid remarks and a downward sprial into an unproductive and sour exchange. I should know
But I learn quickly. Enuff moderatin' ...
On topic I've been fortunate to catch a fair share of hardtails over the years, every single one on a fly and most before anyone publicly mentioned casting a fly to SFBT (which BTW is quite recent). During this time my observations based on my fish and those around me - hardtails croak themselves out quite easily, much easier than stripers or blues. You have to be careful with them as mentioned above.
SBFT in the big albie size look like good flyrod fodder, but I have to wonder how a 46" schoolie would fare when released after a flyrod battle, landed on deck. I'll bet a tank of gas it doesn't fare too well.
My earlier point was simple - maybe targeting them (casting to and battling shorts) during the kill season (Aug 25th - Sept 14th I think) makes a lot more sense. That way you can eat anything you hook, battle and land. Keep in mind that's just a point of view.
If it doesn't make sense to you, feel free to voice your objective points to the contrary in a civil manner as is the norm for this site.
How many albies or baby tuna have you caught? Not trying to start a pissing match but in my experience keeping them in the water would probably do more harm than good. I asked around from guys with a lot of experience this winter and they seemed to feel the same. The fact is you need to know how to fight these fish per Dave's point. The techniques for any tunoid are pretty similar in my opinion. Tight drag, let them make the first run and as soon as they stop get on em. When they go vertical trap the line in between your fingers to prevent drag slip and do your best to point the rod at them to get maximum lift. But you need to get the hook out and on the Albies and baby bluefin that is much easier done in the boat IMO. If fishing from shore even more difficult. Angler safety has to come before the fish and the locations we generally fish for them are way to dangerous to try and perform an in the water release. I generally use 20lb fluro these days and can put these fish in the boat in pretty short order. Very few have not looked energetic upon release. Yes you will always get a few that suck in the fly and get hooked deeper than you would like. I have to admit I have not given the circle hooks a try. I will on the albies this year to get a feel for them. I do use SC15s which are a bit of a hybrid and tend to get good hooksets in the corner of the mouth.
Dave -
I did re-read your first post and can now see that you were trying to describe how to avoid letting them fight to the death. I stand corrected.
The rest of the thread seems to have spiraled downward from there.
As far as your last reply; I am going to abstain from breaking down each point and replying even though some of them would solicit some response. As site founder, I've found it's simply a no win situation to try.
So I will just say this: having experience ahead of you is not such a bad thing. I recall the day I met you on Monomoy.
To me discovery is the best part of fishing. Maybe it's best to have something to discover ahead of us as we put experience behind us. I have put plenty behind, and still have plenty ahead. I like it that way.
I suppose every bass you catch over the course of a season is over 28"?
Or can you prove to me that every fish you release over the course of a season sports a 100% survival rate?
Otherwise your assertation is very hypocritical.
If you had actually read my post you might infer that when fought properly, SBFT are quite peppy when released.
On the contrary, that's not what I hoped to convey. If that was my intent I think I would have said "Dave you are unsportsmanlike" and duck for cover

August 2nd Training Camp Recap
Of note injury wise, WR Jordy Nelson (knee) and TE Andrew Quarless (quad) were notable additions to the "did not practice list." Nelson banged his knee at practice a few days ago. McCarthy said after practice it was a re-occurrence of an old injury and his wide out is still being evaluated. Quarless could miss a few days with his injury. MLB Brad Joes dropped out of practice early with a finger injury and is still being evaluated.
The punt return and kick return jobs continue to be a battle to watch day in and day out. Today as many as six players were back returning punts during a special teams portion of practice. WR Randall Cobb led the way, followed by WR Jeremy Ross, RB Johnathan Franklin, WR Myles White, WR Tyrone Walker, and WR Omarius Hines.
Several wide receivers stood out during practice Friday and the common denominator was Aaron Rodgers delivering the football. Rodgers continues to make a habit of beating the defense and in the "Combo" period Rodgers connected on a beautiful back-shoulder throw to White. Later he connected with Walker on a deep ball that went for a score, and Rodgers drilled in a bullet over the middle to Hines to beat tight coverage from Loyce Means. Let's just say it looks like #12 is in mid-season form when it comes to accuracy.
Wide receiver Jarrett Boykin had maybe the two best plays of the night. First during the "Combo" period he corralled a B.J. Coleman pass thrown behind him with a beautiful one-handed grab. Then in a "Team Run" drill, Rodgers used play-action and connected deep with Boykin who laid to make a diving catch past CB Davon House.
A big defensive play came later in that period, when DE Johnny Jolly forced a fumble on an Alex Green running play. A.J. Hawk and T.J. Lang got into it after the drill, before a whistle signaling a "TV timeout" broke that up.
"I thought it was a good practice," McCarthy said afterward. "I thought the energy was where it needs to be. It's our 7th install practice of 8, so I feel very good about where we are schematically. Curious to see where the mental errors will come out when we evaluate the film because that might have been a little high. It's just something as you go through training camp, you can see your team coming in sync, I thought we definitely took a step towards that today."

I am conducting a study on the relationship between willows and the large-flowered wintergreen (Pyrola grandiflora). It is known that the large-flowered wintergreen is often found growing under or near willows; assuming that the flowers use the willows for shelter, I believe that sites with greater willow cover will have a greater number of large-flowered wintergreen. I am recording the number of flowers at each site and will be estimating percent cover of willows using these Gigapan images and image analysis software. I am also recording the different types of willow found in each quadrat, as well as any other plant species present

You are here
She barreled out of the kitchen and tottered through the crowd like a ship rolling in high seas, her stilt-legged gait clearly encumbered by the vino sloshing about in her glass. The commotion left many guests momentarily dumbstruck, and even Dr. Mary Thornley (president, Trident Technical College) was rendered speechless as the larger-than-life figure swept toward the stage during the opening remarks of Friday night's A Night in the Valley. The stout chested woman wearing sensible heels climbed the three steps leading to the stage, patted her throat while she paused to catch her breath, and then bellowed, "Bon appetit!" in a warbling falsetto that made attendees clap their hands with delight—it was a man impersonating the much beloved Julia Child!
With a theme that paid homage to French culture and cuisine, the annual vintners' dinner hosted by the Trident Technical Foundation in support of the Culinary Institute of Charleston was a chic affair rooted in butter, cheese, and wine (and one man-in-drag plant amid the crowd).
The evening was a feat in manpower with hundreds of people on both sides of the gala—guests of the four course dinner and the students and faculty who toiled behind the scenes to execute the logistics with seemingly effortless grace. Although the auction items were top notch and the crowd was a who's who of the local hospitality scene, it was really the students who shone brightest on this night.
Upon arrival, one such student offered a grin-infused description of the cleverly presented onion soup shooter that was adorned with a crispy onion wanton. "Not only does it look great and taste great, but it was really fun to make!" he cheerfully exclaimed.
Marion Sullivan (Charleston magazine's food editor and a culinary program specialist with the Culinary Institute) pointed out highlights among the pre-dinner hors d'oeuvres, which included fragrant garlic mussels and paper cones filled with crispy french fries swimming in savory béarnaise sauce.
The dinner was an ambitious four-course epic that began with foie gras au torchon and ended with classic French Pithiviers paired with the most wonderfully intense coffee ice cream. Plate service was synchronized with admirable precision, and the students did a good job tracking the 36 pieces of stemware on every table. Some centerpieces featured white tapers that flickered down to the nubs by night's end, while other tables boasted a veritable peacock tail of tangerine-colored feathers—perhaps a cheeky nod to the ladies of the Left Bank?
As sated guests bundled up and prepared to trundle off into the cold night (quite a few folks were Black Cab savvy), volunteers passed out handsome slabs of chocolate—parting gifts that capped off a wonderful evening of enthusiasm, hands-on experience, and scholarship for the next class of Charleston's culinary stars.

Create excellent cover for reptiles, amphibians, insects, and other critters.
Log piles, rock piles or stone walls make excellent places for many amphibians, small reptiles, and other wildlife species to hide, find food, and even raise their young.
What you can do:
- Build a permanent log pile, rock pile, and/or brush pile in the shade.
- Leave fallen logs on the ground, letting them decay naturally.
- Leave some leaf litter on the ground or in your planting beds.

Imagine a lake so clear and inviting that several species of wildlife have evolved to live only within its translucent waters. That's Bear Lake, known as the Caribbean of the Rockies, and this week's Escape sends you to Bear Lake Lodging, on shores in Garden City, Utah.
The one-bedroom condos feature a full kitchen, bath, TV and DVD player, barbecue, and fireplace, your private condo is within walking distance of the convenience store, Bear Lake State Park, tennis courts, and a bike path. Hop in the car for a two-minute drive to public beaches or the charming town of Garden City, known for its antiques shops and boutique restaurants. And just across the border in Idaho, Cooper's Restaurant—where you'll get 10 percent off food and beverages—serves up fresh seafood and steaks, chicken, pasta, burgers, and more, plus beautiful views.
Slap on the skis or snowboard, and make like the locals as you "ski the Beav." As America's oldest family-owned ski area, Beaver Mountain—located just 15 miles from your condo—is known for its family-friendly atmosphere, low prices, and deep powder. Or, skip the lift tickets, rent a snowmobile, and motor around more than 650 miles of the Great Western Trail, a national landmark that stretches from Mexico to Canada.
Or cast a line into the lake's majestic waters, rich with lake trout and cutthroat. After two days in this paradise, you'll know exactly why they call Bear Lake home.

text: After Carson's, my nephew, success the weekend before I felt the pressure to get a good tom otherwise my nephew would probably give me a hard time for quite a while. On Saturday morning I get out to the blind and get the decoys out at about 5:20 and get settled into the blind and I just sit there and listen to the woods start coming awake at about 5:50 with song birds, squirrels, loons and some near by Canadian geese. At about 6:10 I hear the first gobble and then a couple more, I figure there are about 3-4 different gobblers near by and then I start hearing the turkeys fly down behind me and to the right. After a couple of minutes I see 2 jakes poke their heads out of the grass not more than 10-15 feet from my blind and they cautiously walk up to one of the hen decoys. After a couple of minutes a hen walks out from the same area as the 2 jakes. Shortly after that I see 3 toms about 100 yards to my right scratching and just causally walking around. The jakes and the hen finally go down the hill and join the other 3 toms. By this point there are 7 turkeys, 2 jakes, 2 hens and 3 toms. I notice that all of the toms are pretty comparable in size except that one is always puffed up and has a thicker beard and after 15 minutes of chasing the jakes around they start coming up the hill. They walk up to the decoys I have set out at 15 yards. The problem is that the 3 toms are literally so close to each other that I could easily drop 2 or possibly 3 of the toms with one shot. Unfortunately I can only shoot 1 so I have my gun up on the largest of the toms and I am waiting for the other 2 toms to clear the main one by about 2 or 3 feet so I can get a clean shot. Finally after about 5 minutes the 2 toms took 3 or 4 steps and got about 3 feet away from the main tom and then he ate a face full of 3" #4 shot at 12 yards. It literally knocked him head over heels and he kicked once and that was it. After the shot the other 2 toms spun around and looked at their friend and then quickly flew away. The tom weighed 20.7 pounds had 7/8" spurs and a 10" beard. Unfortunately I was unable to help my friend get his tom, we had a close encounter with a jake at Dave and Doris's farm on Saturday but he did not want to take a jake. Saturday night we sat in the trees hoping to catch them coming back to their roosting trees but they ended up roosting in trees about 70 yards East of where we were set up. While we were in the trees the BIG tom was strutting right next to where Darrin had his blind set up earlier in the day. The next morning we set up on the hill hoping for the turkeys to come out to the road of death but we did not see anything. We heard a bunch and they answered us every time we called but would not come out onto the road to investigate. They ended up going through the meadow where Darrin was set up before, of course. We tried to sneak up on them in some tall grass before they got some adjacent land but we were about 5 minutes too late and Darrin could not get close enough for a shot. I thought about passing on the turkey I got and waiting for the BIG turkey that is still out there. The big one has spurs that have got to be pushing 1.5" and probably 25 pounds he is significantly bigger than the other toms I saw earlier in the year and is still alive but hopefully not for long since I have 2 more friends going up there hunting in 3 weeks.

The plot of the game follows the movie (bet you didn't see that one coming).
A greedy toy collector, the kind of guy that never opens the packages that his
action figures came in, has kidnapped Woody, the pullstring cowboy doll. Oh
no! Those action figures might lose value. Boo-hoo. Anyway, Buzz Lightyear,
the Space Ranger, sets off to rescue his cowboy buddy.
Toy Story 2 is your basic, unoriginal 3D platformer. You control Buzz
on his mission to locate the whereabouts of Woody. Each level has five objectives
that can be completed in any order you like. For every objective you complete,
you receive a Pizza Planet token. In order to proceed and move on to new levels,
you must collect as many tokens as possible. Levels have Pizza Planet token
quotas that you must complete before you enter.
control is fairly tight in its simplicity. Everything is pretty typical of the
platform style game: run and jump and occasionally shoot. Buzz also has a "double
jump" move where he extends his wings in order to hover. You also have the run
of the mill spin attack and your "laser" to fight the evil Zurg toys (the arch
nemesis of the Space Rangers) that seem rampant everywhere.
If you want to see video clips, go watch the actual movie. If you want a groundbreaking
3D platformer, you're still looking in the wrong place, bub. Little kids might
be willing to look past the unoriginality and outdated gameplay; likely they
would even have some fun. But most kids, including those who are just kids at
heart, would be smart enough to play elsewhere.

You don't have to stay at a bed and breakfast to get a great massage, but it sure helps the vacationer relax from the stresses of travel and work. At least that has been the opinion of guests at Hacienda del Desierto who have been
soothed by Pamela Joosten, a Tucson massage therapist. She offers therapeutic, neuro-muscular, lymphatic, hot stone, aromatherapy, and raindrop therapy. Guests can have that massage right in the privacy and comfort of their own guest room. Last week she also gave a massage to a woman on vacation who was six months pregnant.
Luckily, Tucsonans don't have to stay with us to have that special massage but can get one either in their own home or at her home.
Those interested can obtain contact information through Hacienda del Desierto.

excellent thumbdrive 9/1/2015Christopher from
This is an excellent thumb drive. It has lasted me for years and is still going strong. The two-way swivel is good but I would have preferred a one sided swivel cover that "snaps" in place. And given its small size, having the slower USB 2.0 is not a problem.
Good Value for the Price 7/14/2014John from Pensacola, FL
That's a lot of storage for a small price, after the discount was applied. Case seems to be very solid, so I doubt it will be hurt from being jostled around in a briefcase or pocket. USB connector seems solidly built, too. Good value for the dollar. Happy with my purchase.
Good performing pen drive 11/27/2013GaryDe from Deltona, Florida USA
As the prices continue to drop, I find myself using these things more and more to store movies, mp3s and important data I like to keep mobile. Kingston has always been a reliable brand and works with everything. I'm using this one to store old time radio shows which I play on a cheap AM/FM radio that has a usb pen drive slot. The Kingston works great!
16Gb Budget Thumb Drive 7/30/2013
Not super fast but this surely a good price for brand name thumb drive.
Flash 5/20/2013
Receive very fast in the mail, so easy to use and a ton of storage.
Amazing Deal 3/3/2013
What Can I say? It's a memory card that works. I am using it in a video doorbell system that records users that ring the bell. Card works fine in this application although it may not be sutable for higher speed application like digital cameras where a high speed card would be better.
Always happy with Kingston! 1/2/2013
Have bought a lot of Kingston flash drives over the year and have never been disappointed.
Kingston 16GB Data stick 12/24/2012FAHAPA from Findlay, Ohio
I used this right after I recieved it and it worked fine
Solid Performer 12/20/2012
Drive is reliable and convenient, a solid performer.
Excellent Product 12/20/2012
Excellent product, fast service
Smooth transaction. Great product. 12/17/2012
Smooth transaction. Great product.
As expected. 12/17/2012
Product as expected. No surprises.
Another Excellent Kingston Flash Drive 12/17/2012Steve from Irvine, CA
This 16 gig replaces my 8 gig that was getting full. The drive is smaller (although not one of the really tiny ones) and works flawlessly. As most drives it is a simple plug and play. I have been using Kingston drives for many years and have never had a problem!
Slow, but works 12/7/2012
product works.
Works nice 11/24/2012
I waited to actually give it a fair test period. It has not not given either of them an ounce of problem. It is very reliable and data transfer speed is quick. My wife had a PNY, and it was OK, but it does not compare to the Kingston. The only drawback is the hole in the end, it is very tiny. I had to purchase a very thin key ring to put on it so they could attach a strap to it.
Good product 11/12/2012
Works as expected. It's nice to have a swivel cap, never have to worry about losing it again!
Great product...works like chime 11/3/2012Manoj from Lutherville, MD
Works like chime. I needed this for large files when my 8 GB did not have enough space for files like 700 pages of few E-books. Great product and free shipping one of the best combinations anyone could have…go buy.com
Good quality. Good price. 10/29/2012
I have about 10 of these now that I have purchased over the past few years. This style of Kingston flash drives has worked best for me. I have have several other brands or models fail even while taking care to eject it correctly. Will definitely buy again.
fast dependable DataTraveler 10/11/2012
I like this Kingston DataTraveler so much I purchased two more for other file categories. The ultra compact size and the flexible cover that protects the USB "head" are great features. I highly recommend it.
Good Memory 10/10/2012Jeremiah from Nashville, TN
This is a great thumb drive! Very happy to get it on Buy.com!
Great Product 9/17/2012Gary from Baton Rouge LA
Is an excellent flash stick.
Extremely pleased 8/29/2012
Excellent product at a great price.
KINGSTON 16 GB DT101 6/30/2012RAY from HOUSTON TEXAS
Nice USB Stick 6/28/2012Joe from Washington DC
Small. Seriously small. The memory housing is like the size of two Pez candies. Hole in the body (NOT the cap... another PRO) that will allow you to place a corded tether to attach the drive to your keys (or for some other similar need). * The cap fits on tightly (you can hear the clicking sound); this has always been a benefit of Kingston drives. * The transfer speed seems decent for a small drive. I haven't played around with this much, yet, as I just received it, today. CONS: * A corded tether does not come included with the drive even though there is a hole for one. I hate it when USB manufacturers don't include a tether for a drive that obviously has a place for one.
Another awesome one, have 3 of them now in different color and size
Excellent 6/12/2012
This product is excellent. I like the unique design. Works well. it transfers data fast. I use it daily to transfer from desktop to laptop and it gets the job done quickly. I own several flash drives, but this is one of the best flash drives i have had in a while. great value & performance. Buy.com consistently has the lowest prices on flash memory and it's the website
Nice USB Stick 6/11/2012Joe from Washington DC
I love this USB Stick. 5 STARS !!!! I've owned several flash drives by Kingston (bought from buy.com). They've all performed impeccably. This particular one has additional organizational S/W which might prove useful to less computer savvy customers. Personally, I don't have much use for it although the interface is kinda neat. Buy.com consistently has the lowest prices on flash memory and it's the website I look to first for similar needs. The quality has been superbly reliable. No complaints so far.
Excellent Product and price 5/22/2012Mike from Stafford, Va
Have purchased this brand in past, and have not had any issues. Fits nicely in pocket and gives quick access to files that I need.
Thumb Drive !!! 5/16/2012
I bought this for my wife and grandson 5 months ago, I waited to actually give it a fair test period. It has not not given either of them an ounce of problem. It is very reliable and data transfer speed is quick. My wife had a PNY, and it was OK, but it does not compare to the Kingston.
Great product 5/16/2012
Great Prodcut. No cap to lose - Good Design. I wish the price were a little lower. I would certainly recommend the product for the price - but lower would be better. Next up is the 32gb that I have wanted for a long time. It is amazing how the form factor is the same on the 16gb and the 32gb. I hope they can make it even thinner.
good one 5/11/2012
This Kingston DataTraveler DT101 Gen2 32GB USB flash drive has a very nice compact design. It is about the same size as the SanDisk Cruzer Micro (with the USB port retracted). See the size comparison picture I uploaded to Customer Images section. What cannot be seen from the picture is that the Kingston drive is slightly thicker. That makes it impossible to insert two Kingston flash drives into two adjacent USB ports, whereas two Sandisk drives can be stacked one on top of another.
reliable thumb drive 4/20/2012
nice size, good storage, very stable. =)
does the job 6/7/2011Bob from Dudley, Mass.
great value & performance, ease of use, great to hold those large photo files on your PC as a backup stored in case of issues, had an 8 GB usb flash drive that did not hold all my stuff...this one at 16 GB allows me to back-up all my files dear to me and store it in a fireproff safe in case of....whatever happens, no noise on shaking the drive as other customer stated, would recomend it to friends at this price, buying another for my daughter so she can back-up her files also. Kingston flash drives have great reviews, have never heard any complaints or issues with their products and would recomend them to anyone in need of keeping their data safe and portable. Take your phots with you to show friends and relitaves on their PC...guess the photo albums of the past are gone and now we can find and share those moments without the big old dusty book search. Free shipping is nice too !!!!
Great Product 4/11/2011Rebecca from Corpus Christi, Tx
Bought to store all my family photos on, needless to say i filled it up in 10 mins...lol...will have to purchase another one soon! Highly recommend for the price.
Kingston 16GB Flash Drive 1/18/2011Tyler from Warsaw, IN
This is a great product to buy! I have had several flash drives in the past and this is the fastest for loading files and videos. I would buy this again if I needed.
My Flash drive does not make any noise when shaking it....maybe the one review was a mishandled prodct. No loose pieces here.
Great product, Great price 1/17/2011Mike from Glen Oaks, NY
As advertised, works great, extremely easy to use. My 4 GB was getting 3/4 full so I wanted a larger drive, and this fit the bill to a tee! Would definately recommend to anyone.
Kingston 16GB DataTraveler 101 Generation 2 (G2) U 1/8/2011A customer from Chicago, IL
Works Great, so far no problems
Good Storage 1/2/2011Tim from Houston, Texas
Can't complain it does what it should and pretty fast.
Good Deal 12/27/2010A customer from fingerlakes, NY
It works as it should and at a very good price. I like it better than my cruzer.
The Second One I Ordered 12/25/2010alvino99 from aventura, florida
using them for my xbox 360s 4gb. works flawlessly and saved me $$$
Unbeatable price and product 12/25/2010A customer from Manasquan, NJ
Cheapest price ever compared to anything similar and works well
Awsome Deal for the Price 11/29/2010Kay from Farmington Hills, Michigan
Drive performs really nicely and gives a transfer write rate of around 8-12Mbps which is much better than other drives of 5-8Mbps.
Only bad thing is that if you shake the drive you can hear the loose inside plastic, Not that it would affect the performance or reliability of the drive. So giving it a 4 for overall satisfaction.
For the price Kingston cannot be beat. 11/28/2010Dave from Sorrento
I use many flash drives for my daily workload and have come to know that Kingston makes reliable flash drives. The 5 year warranty and unlimited tech support shows that Kingston backs up their products. urDrive is a pretty neet feature on the G2 drives. Organization is required when using a flash drive for file transfers and urDrive helps to do just that. I wouldn't buy any other brand of flash drive and you shouldn't either.
Got a real steal! 11/28/2010A customer from Dalton, Ohio
I got this flash drive when it was on sale with free shipping for $20. What a great deal at this time! Love this device, sturdy and well made. Recommend it!
It's a good USB thumb drive. 11/27/2010Alan D. from Boston, MA
There's not much to say... I've been very happy with the Kingston DataTravelers; we bought a few at work and they're able to USB-boot our Dell machines, which has come in very handy (other USB thumb drives couldn't). Other than that? They're just good quality thumb drives...
Another winner by Kingston 11/27/2010A customer from Tulsa, OK
I've owned several flash drives by Kingston (bought from buy.com). They've all performed impeccably. This particular one has additional organizational S/W which might prove useful to less computer savvy customers. Personally, I don't have much use for it although the interface is kinda neat. Buy.com consistently has the lowest prices on flash memory and it's the website I look to first for similar needs. The quality has been superbly reliable. No complaints so far.
excellent product 11/23/2010JR from houston,TX
sturdy metal housing not plastic like many others,great capacity, good price.
Great product 11/11/2010Frank from wash, DC
If you are looking a for capless drive with the coolest Art Deco design, great capacity, durable case, perfect dimensions, and works with Windows 7, Mac OS, this is for you. It is small yet wide enough not to be difficult to insert or remove. It has a very nice LED to indicate use. The swing shield is aluminium that has a small loop for lanyard attachment or key ring. Case is hard plastic with a solid feel. The only thing I would improve on is make the shield lock in place. The access times could be faster, writes about 5 MBps and reads around 17 MBps reads for files greater than 64 MB using HDtest software. While this is not great impressive, I have noticed that the actual file transfers are faster according to windows 7 and approach 10 MBps writes. All I can say it was a great buy for me.

County Down Census Records 1901
I have found my Dads side of my family on the 1911 Census
His Mother (my granny) and her 2 sons were visiting her family on the day of the census hence they are on the street address of her family 17 Earl Street Dock Ward (Belfast Clifton) Antrim
Her husband (my dads dad, my grandfather ) seemed to be visiting his family Edwards on the day of the census
Hence I do not know their own home address
However what is confusing me is on the family Census listing of the Edwards family the last 2 people listed are Hester Louisa daughter
and Ernest Albert son (this is my dads dad) whose wife was at her parents home at the time of the census listing ..
the address given for Hester Louisa his sister is Tara Co Down and the address given for Ernest is also Tara Co down
am i reading it correctly
Where was Tara ??!!! in Co Down or was it a house name an institution name or area name or what ?
Any ideas anyone could help me with please
These people lived in 90 Rodin Street(St Anne's Ward) Co Antrim
Any help appreciatted to find out what address is given beside Ernest Albert Edwards name as i jsut cannot make it out properly and do not recognize it at all
I had a look at the Census for your Grandfather. You were correct,it was Tara Co Down.I found this result for you
Tara was a townland of 275 Acres in the County of Down. Barony Ards Upper, Civil Parish Witter, Downpatrick, Ulster
Hope this helps
Tara was also the name of the House in the book and movie "Gone with the wind" This may have made you think that it was not a real placeReplyDelete

When It Comes to the Ocean's Health Report Card, Let's Set the Curve!
Posted On August 28, 2012 by Anna Zivian
At Ocean Conservancy, we often get asked "How is the ocean doing?" That straightforward question is actually quite difficult to answer. This vast resource, our planet's life support system, faces many complex challenges. Quantifying them is no easy matter.
The new Ocean Index announced in Nature is one way to assess and compare the health of ocean ecosystems across different countries. To date, there's been no comprehensive source that brings together all manner of ocean-related research in one place. The Index is a good starting point.
Sixty-five scientists and other experts worked together to create this tool. They use a series of indicators to measure ten goals important to us all, including
- food provision
- coastal protection
- tourism and recreation
- coastal livelihoods and economies
- clean waters
The Index looks at the current status for each, as well as the likely scenario for sustainability into the future. Overall, the health of the ocean received a score of 60 out of 100. The United States is in the middle of the pack with a score of 63. Continue reading »

San Francisco is literally counting the cost of hosting the America's Cup. Fundraising supposed to safeguard against using public funds is coming up short - at the moment by US$18 million ($21.5 million).
It's the latest setback in an America's Cup regatta foreshadowed - in one of those excruciatingly optimistic and ultimately unproveable economic forecasts - as bringing in US$1 billion and creating 8,000 jobs.
That was highlighted when Cup holders Oracle, led by the CEO of the vast computer technology company, billionaire Larry Ellison, chose San Francisco as the venue.
A private fundraising body, the America's Cup Organizing Committee, was set up to raise the US$32 million required to host the event without dipping into the public purse.
They have managed to raise only US$14 million, with US$8 million coming from an agreement with the America's Cup Event Authority. Under that agreement, the committee sold its rights to solicit sponsors within the local market to the event authority, the business arm of the Cup racing group headed by Ellison, with both bodies combining their efforts into one campaign.
There are also suggestions San Francisco's bill will top US$40 million, meaning that the total shortfall could be US$30 million.
All of this has begun some sniping at Ellison (in spite of the fact he has spent a reputed US$400m on winning and holding the Cup) and one local politician, John Avalos, really spat the civic dummy this week.
"I was f****** played. All the members of the Board of Supervisors were f****** played. There was a full-court press [a basketball term meaning a full-on defensive manoeuvre designed to choke the attacking side] on us from the America's Cup Organizing Committee to play us ... I am totally f******* ashamed."
Avalos' loss of humour was connected to wording in the committee's brief that it had to "endeavour" to raise the funds, as opposed to actually deliver it.
The regatta has already suffered from:
• A lack of challengers - only Emirates Team New Zealand, Sweden's Artemis and Italy's Luna Rossa have signed up for a regatta said to be costing $100 million for competitive teams.
• An admission from Sir Russell Coutts, head of Oracle's sailing team, that he may have made a mistake in plumping for the giant, 72-foot AC72 catamarans, instead of the AC45s - the smaller, cheaper cats used in the America's Cup World series devised by Oracle to give Cup sponsors more exposure.
• Cutbacks, including reneging on building team base areas with hospitality space on San Francisco's Piers 30 and 32 - requiring teams, including an indignant Emirates Team NZ, to commit to "a concrete slab with absolutely nothing on it" instead of access for the public to watch all the teams preparing and launching their boats and which now needs unforeseen budget to complete.
That was tied to the decision to abandon original plans to spend US$55 million to repair Piers 30 and 32 for operations and spectators. Estimated repair costs swelled to more than US$100 million last year and organisers backed off, leading Ellison's America's Cup Event Authority to lay off a quarter of its staff, 28 employees.
Now there is doubt television coverage of the Louis Vuitton round-robin (part of the racing designed to find the sole challenger to take on Oracle for the Cup) will be broadcast live if there is not enough interest from potential buyers.
That would be a further setback for part of Ellison's and Coutts' vision - racing close enough to shore to allow spectators to line San Francisco Bay and revolutionary TV coverage to galvanise broadcasters traditionally reluctant to take feeds often interrupted by weather or wind.
Ironically, even though the event may be limping to a start in July, the omens look good for Team NZ. The 72-foot catamarans are stunning yachts and ETNZ's second version of the boat is apparently trialling well; yachting gossip has it that it is ahead of anything Artemis or Luna Rossa are doing.
There has also been footage of Oracle's reconstituted first boat after its stunning capsize late last year. With changes made, the Oracle AC72 seems to be going fast, employing much of the same foiling skills previously only demonstrated by Team NZ - leading many to surmise that the Cup could come down to an ETNZ-Oracle showdown.

Here are the facts. If my timing is wrong I can get stuck if not paying attention with the not all there bagger of my groceries. I tried to avoid any line he is bagging groceries on for no other reason that he screws up and takes forever. If I somehow end up in the line (he moves) I try to bag as much of my stuff as I can (eggs do not go on the bottom!!!!)
OK guys fast forward to yesterday. He was following me around the store. Kind of creepy. Then he shows up and kinda bags my groceries ( I did as much as I could). then he shows up in the parking lot in the rain.

It's time for the UN to take the initiative and establish the global mechanism to drive action on diabetes and NCDs.
Following the recent historic breakthrough [2] on global targets for diabetes and noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in Geneva, eyes turn this week to the United Nations (UN) in New York. At last year's UN Summit on NCDs in September 2011, the UN Secretary General agreed to make recommendations [3] on multisectoral action on diabetes and NCDs. This week, Ban Ki-Moon's proposals will be discussed by the UN General Assembly and we are waiting for positive news.
Federations like ours are based on the principle that organisations working together are louder, better informed and harder to ignore. Partnerships are in our DNA. We have seen, in the NCD Alliance [4], how powerful federations and other NGOs can be when working on a common platform. Three years after IDF invited our sister federations to form the NCDA, we have shown that NGOs can work together across diseases.
Now we need governments at the UN to establish a mechanism for governments, NGOs and the private sector to work together under the UN umbrella on the 'whole of society' approach to NCDs envisaged in the UN Political Declaration on NCD's. That is what government leaders said they wanted when governments drafted and signed the Political Declaration last year but progress has been mixed since the commitment was made.
IDF and the NCD Alliance were the first NGO organisations to put forward a model for the global partnership we want to see driving follow up from the UN Summit. When the NCD Alliance was formed we said early on that we did not want a new UN agency or Global Fund for NCDs. We are not looking for a building or a large bureaucracy. WHO will continue to have a critical role to play as the UN agency leading on health. We have always said, however, that diabetes and the other NCDs are best integrated into the policies and programmes of existing UN agencies and funds, and into health system strengthening programmes at country level. But such a 'mainstreaming approach' could mean NCDs get lost without a leadership coalition to drive and monitor action at a global level.
The NCD Alliance's preferred model is a light touch Global Coordinating Mechanism [5] – which builds on highly successful precedents such as the Partnership on Maternal and Newborn Child Health (PMNCH). This Mechanism would be led by governments, housed within the UN, and include donors and the private sector, to coordinate the concerted response that is so desperately needed. Governments must lead this partnership, but any model is doomed to fail if it is not a formal structure and does not harness the resources, expertise, energy and commitment of civil society, people with diabetes and NCDs, and the private sector.
Now I understand that not everyone agrees on inclusion of the private sector but we cannot allow progress on NCDs to be held hostage by this point. IDF's latest data shows that 371 million people [6] globally have diabetes. This epidemic won't wait. Partnership parameters have been defined to enable the private sector to contribute to other UN housed partnerships and the same is possible with NCDs.
The Political Declaration, Global Targets and next Global NCD Action Plan will map our road ahead – defining the future vision, goals and priorities in the global response to diabetes and NCDs. Over one year after the UN Summit on NCDs the clock is now ticking on establishment of the multisectoral partnership to be the catalyst for coordinated action. This week I call on governments to make their political commitment a reality.
We urgently need a vehicle to drive change and someone in the driver's seat.

The Flying Dutch will be seeking to maintain Hope's tradition of softball excellence in the competitive Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA). In 2008, for the second consecutive season, five MIAA teams won 20 or more games, including the Flying Dutch.
Hope posted a 25-14 record marking the fifth straight year that the Flying Dutch have won 20-or-more games. Coach Karla Wolters' Flying Dutch have won 20 or more games in 13 of their last 14 seasons. Entering the 2009 season, coach Wolters ranks fifth alltime among the winningest NCAA Division III softball coaches.
The Flying Dutch will be playing in the college's new softball stadium for the second season. Wolters Softball Stadium honors coach Wolters and her husband Tom.
The 2009 pre-season roster of 20 players includes 12 returning letterwinners. There are seven freshmen, seven sophomores, four juniors and two seniors. The roster is unique in that the players come from eight different states -- Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida, Nevada, Indiana, New Jersey and Minnesota.
Co-captains of the team are senior Kelli Duimstra of Hudsonville, Mich. (Hudsonville HS) and junior Deidra Enochs of Summerfield, Fla. (Belleview HS). Duimstra is a two-time All-MIAA first baseman who also received All-Region honors in 2008. Last spring she batted .448 and committed only one error while starting in all 39 games. Enochs pitched a 10-4 record and batted .406. She enters the 2009 season with a 20-11 career pitching record.
Junior shortstop Beth Yahraus of Bryan, Ohio (Bryan HS) was named to the All-Region team after batting .343.
Other returning letterwinners include sophomore Abby Phillips of Wayland, Mich. (Wayland HS), sophomore Andie Brower of Hudsonville, Mich. (Unity Christian HS), junior Krista Liverance of Williamston, Mich. (Williamston), senior Maddie Garcia of Reno, Nev. (Reno HS), sophomore Suzie Stevenson of Granger, Ind. (Penn HS), sophomore Kori Nieuwsma of Lakeville, Minn. (Bethany Christian Academy), sophomore Michelle Marra of Waldwick, N.J. (Waldwick HS), sophomore Andrea Reinecke of Eaton Rapids, Mich. (Eaton Rapids HS), and sophomore Kali Pierson of Wilmington, Ohio (Wilmington HS).

Thank you for this Anthony. This is exactly what I thought, but wanted to make sure that I had everything correct before updating to 5.0.1 to save those APTickets as well, then I'll restore back 5.0. I just want to be safe and have the APTickets for both just in case something happens and I'll be covered. Thanks again!
So in order to have had gotten the 5.0 AP ticket required what exactly did I need to do before? Use tinyumbrella? Because I never did for 5.0 so I guess that means I have no SHSH files for 5.0 right? So Im screwed, right? Im still on 4.2.6 by the way. Do I just update to 5.0.1 so I dont get stuck on 5.1? Because for some reason tinyumbrella wouldnt save my 5.0.1 SHSH. Can iFaith save my 5.0.1 SHSH so hopefully pod2g's potential untethered 5.0.1 JB can be used?
If you are tethered on iOS 5.0 with the 01.59.00 baseband, will the baseband be preserved just in case things go awry and you have to restore? I tried pointing iFaith towards the custom sn0wbreeze firmware I created to see what would happen and it wouldn't accept it. Now I'm in the process of creating the custom firmware with iFaith.
Let me know guys!
First question, do you have to be jailbroke to dump the APTickets with iFaith v1.4?
And I have my 5.0.1 shsh blobs saved through TU but when I try to create a custom ipsw from them with iFaith it doesn't even acknowledge that they're a file. The popup comes up but when I go to select the blob in the window they do not show unless iFaith has produced them. So since I already have my APTickets for 5.0 saved from iFaith Im going to update to 5.0.1 so I can save those through IFaith as well and then restore back to 5.0, which is why I want know if I have to JB on 5.0.1 to dump those APTickets with iFaith.....anybody?
I have done this several times and it has worked perfectly every time except I cannot jailbreak the downgraded 5.0 with sn0wbreeze, iTunes get a 3194 error every time. Downgrades fine, just refuses to jailbreak. Any ideas?
Thanks so much iSteveO! Guess I'll just go ahead and restore to 5.0.1 update bb and use tiny umbrella or iFaith. But just to be sure- In order to update my baseband to the latest version I would need to be on 5.0.1 because I could've swore i remembered getting a notification to update my baseband in the past month or so and I went ahead and did it. If I could update to the latest baseband and use tiny umbrella to save the SHSH would I still need to restore?
Is there a way to check in the settings if I have the latest baseband?
FYI, the tethered jailbreak is extremely stable, and with the new Semi-Tether option you don't have to worry about being stranded without even a phone. I was very scared of going off of my safe untethered iOS 4.2.8 jailbreak up to the tethered iOS 5 jailbreak, but I was pleasantly surprised by its performance. I can't make the decision for you, but I recommend that you update to iOS 5.0.1 ASAP, before the signing window closes when 5.1 is released publicly, and hope @pod2g or @musclenerd's exploits work for it. I hope this helps you figure things out and that I didn't confuse you worse! lol
Ok so I have my 5.0 APTickets dumped and actually haves used them and restored 5.0, but now I'm going to update 5.0.1 so I can save those as well, but when I choose the ipsw (apple original) for 5.0.1 it says:
"the iPhone xxxxxxxx could not be restored because the firmware file is not compatible.
Anybody know what that's about? I even downloaded it from Modmyi. This is the exact name of file:
I have an iPhone 4 GSM that is currently on 5.0 which is done from a custom ipsw from iFaith. Anybody know what's going on?

Next week on KCPT, you'll have the rare chance to take an intimate journey inside an American high school. With unprecedented access to students and teachers, 180 Days: A Year Inside An American High School explores a public school in Washington DC, one where only 7 percent of the students are deemed proficient in math, and the dropout rate is through the roof. Kansas City school superintendent Steve Green is facing many of the same challenges, and we'll hear his reaction to this PBS series. But first here's a sneak peek.
The two-part series, 180 Days: A Year Inside An American High School, airs Monday, March 25 and Tuesday, March 26, 2013 at 8pm.

Shares of organic light-emitting diode technology maker Universal Display (OLED) are down 82 cents, or 2.4%, at $33.12, after Canaccord Genuity's Jonathan Dorsheimer reiterated a Sell rating on the shares, and a $22 price target, arguing that the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next month won't be the positive catalyst the show has traditionally been for the company.
With Universal selling materials for OLED displays in mobile devices, and more recently, in television sets, the consumer trade show usually shows off appealing tech trends that bring to life the potential of the technology.
But, writes Dorsheimer, this show may see a de-emphasis of OLED-based product, and more focus on traditional liquid-crystal displays:
Much like the superficial glitz and glamour that makes up the essence of Las Vegas, we encourage investors not to give into the temptations these prototypes may bring. We still feel that the OLED TV market will remain highly niche and that the economics for OLED materials and IP in the mobile space are lower than the market is currently pricing. To help support our view, we note that just this week Panasonic and Sony (the "sleepers" of CES 2013, where both unexpectedly showed OLED TVs) agreed not to pursue their OLED partnership further, with each to focus on ultra-high definition LCD instead. Furthermore, reports out of Korea indicate that Samsung is also refocusing on traditional LCD for its mobile business as it feels the higher-end market where its OLEDs mainly lie is becoming saturated. We continue to expect a major theme this year at CES will be incremental LCD improvements, such as UHD and quantum dots. While limited options currently exist, we would prefer to play these trends for the TV opportunity.

DMV conviction data can help in identifying trends in CPS activity in your county. Review the data for total numbers of convictions (in each of the vehicle codes) to see if they have gone up or down, or remained constant. Compare across several years, and think about factors to attribute to any variations. Do you have a new judge who is knowledgeable about your CPS program and willing to convict violators? Is there a new component to the law which has changed the ticketing category (such as the change in age of children covered by VC 27360--for example in 2002, when the age/weight changed from 4 years and 40 lbs. to 6 years or 60 lbs., or in 2012 when the age changed to 8 years old). Changes in the law usually mean that law enforcement will take a renewed interest in citing during the first year in particular to gain public compliance.
If you see a substantial drop in convictions, maybe a judge, who previously convicted CPS violators, is no longer covering traffic violations. The next steps for a local program could be to make an appointment with a new judge to educate him/her (and their court clerks) to the CPS cycle of enforcement and disposition. A good reminder for the courts (and law enforcement) is that the fine monies generated by their actions are reinvested in the community through your CPS outreach and educational programs.
Something else to remember is when your judge sees a violator in court, under the law they are suppose to record the incident as a conviction whether the judge chooses to fine the violator or not. You may have a judge who understands the cycle of enforcement and disposition, and may even be referring the violators to an education program, but then they may not be recording the incident as a conviction. This is equally important in the cycle of enforcement and disposition for data purposes.
Citation data is generated from both state and local law enforcement agencies. Local law enforcement citations make up a significant portion of the total citations in your area. If you chose to collect local law enforcement data you can get a more complete picture of your CPS citations.
If you chose to use only the CHP citation data, this will give you some understanding of CPS citations in your area. To use the CHP citation data identify the CHP Division in which your county matches. You will need to identify for yourself which CHP identified area(s) falls within your county. As you already know, CHP Divisions statewide does not match with county lines.
Use the CHP citation data to compare it with the DMV conviction data, and look at trends in total numbers of citations and convictions. There will likely be some variation year to year. Notice if you've have more CHP citations or DMV convictions, and think back to what has happened in those years that might have attributed to the variance in total numbers. Also, you may choose to compare your violation data with a neighboring county or another county (which might match your total population for example), to see the similarities or differences.
Understanding citation and conviction data is not easy. To add to the confusion is the next step, knowing the accrued fine monies as a result of the convictions. Local health department CPS Programs will want to track, with the assistance of your fiscal administrators, what amount of fine monies are being accrued (and correctly deposited into your CPS account) from the court convictions of VC 27360, 27360.5 and 15620. Prediction of the amount of funds you should receive with what you actually receive is impossible. There will never be a direct correlation between numbers of convictions to funds accrued. Remember the judge has the discretion to waive or reduce the $100 base fine (which with added court fees is a minimum of $350 to the violator). However, you do want to compare the total amount of funds you are accruing yearly so that you can be assured that the procedures to transfer the fine money from the courts to the CPS Program are functioning properly.
Now compare the total yearly funds accrued with the total number of convictions to see if there is a big change in either category that doesn't somewhat correlate in the other category. You want to be able to identify if the courts are waiving or reducing the fines differently from year to year, by comparing the amount of the funds with the number of convictions across time. If there is an unusual discrepancy you may want to request a meeting with your court judge to learn more about what is happening.
The Vehicle Occupant Safety Program (VOSP) intends by providing you with these data that you have a better picture of each of the components of your CPS program. By comparing and contrasting citation and conviction data with that of the amount of funds you accrue, across multiple years, you will better be able to evaluate the gaps and strengths of your program. This information will help direct your energy and time in conducting outreach to enrich or maintain the collaborations with law enforcement, the courts or your own fiscal administrators to ensure the maximum potential of your CPS program.
If you are more confused or even just overwhelmed, help is close by. Please feel free to contact Kate Bernacki at firstname.lastname@example.com if you want to go over your violation data, discuss problem areas, or want some direction on how to outreach with CPS collaborators.

Not in PR-B School District's best interest
Lee Aimers retired last spring after a 34-year teaching career. It was a tough decision. He loves kids; he loves teaching; he was, and is, passionate about a career he found very rewarding.
He promised the many students, parents and staff who asked that he would be available for substitute teaching this fall and would keep in touch.
A couple of weeks into the school year, Lee was informed by Superintendent Bettino that his name would not appear on the substitute teacher calling list. When Lee asked why his name would not appear on the list, Superintendent Bettino wrote in an email to him that allowing him to substitute teach would not be "in the best interest of the school district."
Lee was not terribly surprised at this turn of events. He has a long history of speaking up regarding policies that he considers foolish, some of which he — and other teachers in the district — felt were not in the best interest of the students and would ultimately lead to lower test scores. (Have you had an opportunity to look at Pine River-Backus' recent scores?)
More than once, this placed him in conflict with the administration. Apparently, the superintendent equates speaking your mind with making trouble, while the majority of the rest of us recognize that he was speaking his conscience.
Lee's goal always was, and is, to advocate for kids.
Blacklisting Lee Aimers from the substitute teaching pool is absurd, to put it mildly, and this sort of vindictive behavior on the part of the administration with the support of much of the school board will not stop until the voters of this district get involved and demand that this decision be reversed immediately.
Nancy Aimers,

These days the calendar tells us many things to celebrate and one of them is underway right now. April is Jazz Appreciation Month. The National Endowment for the Humanities declared it so 12 years ago.
You may not have realized it, but Mike Shanin probably did. Though you know him best as the host of Ruckus and a long-time radio talker, Mike's also a real fan of the music that Kansas City once hung its hat on. Among his favorites here in town is a man whose impeccable sense of timing and texture has made him a staple of the jazz scene. Tommy Ruskin brought his drums to the studio and set them up for us, as he and his wife, Julie Turner, joined Mike to talk and play some music here on The Local Show.
You can celebrate Jazz Appreciation Month at the American Jazz Museum at 18th and Vine.
