The place to be....for the Characters, Places & Things
on Television
ALF (Alien Life Force) stood three-foot-two, was covered in orange polyester
fur, had four fingers on each hand and a rippled snout. He hailed from the planet Melmac (what it was
made of) and had wandered the vastness of space looking for a
place to call home after his own planet exploded.
Locking onto a
Ham radio signal emanating from a suburban dwelling, ALF
crash-landed into the garage roof of a very nice but boring
middle-class family known as the Tanners. After their initial
shock, the Tanners decided to adopt the pint-sized alien and
help him repair his spacecraft.
The Tanner family included
parents Willie (Max Wright) and Kate (Anne Schedeen), and their
children Lynn (Andrea Elson), Brian (Benji Gregory) and Eric (J.R.
& Charles Nickerson).
According to an NBC press release, ALF was
born on the Lower East side of Melmac on August 12th and October
2, some 229 years ago in 1957 (also given as 28th of
Nathanganger) to his three parents Bob, Flo, and Biff. His real
name was Gordon Shumway. He attended high school for 122 years
then 2 years at Melmac State College with a double major in
pedestrian crossing and software.
ALF was active in the Skleen
Club and co-captain of the Bouillabaiseball team, which used
shellfish for a ball (the baseball field was shaped like a
rectangle) and because they used shellfish for a ball, the game
was played on ice (members included Mickey Mackerel).
ALF's hair
was burnt sienna and his eyes off- black. ALF's favorite song
was "Help Me Rhonda," the name of his childhood sweetheart. He
ate cats, preferring Siamese and Calicos (on Melmac chickens are
kept as pets). He had eight stomachs and a body temperature of
425 degrees.
One of the first things ALF said when he
crash-landed was "How about a snack? You got a cat?" He settled,
however, for a cat food can remarking "I can use the roughage."
Broadcasting a message into space in hopes of reaching some
survivors from his homeworld ALF said "Anybody from Melmac,
Hello? Skip, Larry, Muffy...it's me, Gordon (last name is
Shumway). Look I don't know if you can hear me but I want you to
know I'm OK." He then described his Earth friends and ended with
"If you could try to get in touch or come by, I'll introduce you
to these lovely people. Then we can eat their cat!"
Alf's home world of Melmac has a green sky and blue grass which made one feel as if
they were living upside down. It is located six parsecs
past the Hydra-Centauras Super Cluster near Xenon (2 block's
north of Phil's Autorama). The smartest man on the planet is
known as "Bob the Great." The God on Melmac is called Barry.
The planet's motto is "Are you going to finish that sandwich?"
When ALF belonged to the Orbit Guards, their motto was "To guard
the Orbits, whether they want it or not."
The outspoken but
adorable ALF was a product of both puppetry and a small person
(Michu Meszaros) dressed in a costume. The Coleco Toy Company
manufactured a doll to capitalize on the show. Paul Fusco, the
series co-producer (with Thad Mumford) supplied the voice and
manipulated the ALF puppet.
The animated cartoon spin-offs
ALF/NBC/1987-89 and ALF TALES/NBC/1987-90 followed the
adventures of ALF on his home planet of Melmac before the planet
TRIVIA NOTE: Blossom
Russo (Mayim Bialik), a teenage character on the sitcom
BLOSSOM/NBC/1991-95 slept with an ALF doll.

I just watched the Phil Collins episode. That one was fun!
It wasn't a comedy, but it had humor (with Izzy decorating and everything - Crockett getting his butt beat-up while Rico planted the bug in the dealer's car, and Stan on that game show).
And it had action and danger to it.
I've bought a few TV series on DVD, but Miami Vice is high on my list, if not the top one, that I recall gaining this much entertainment from.
I loved this show and I hope (but don't recall) that Phil Collins' character comes back (as he got away in a Lamborghini - nice class).
I also recollect that Izzy eventually gets killed, unfortunately, but nevertheless realistically. Not sure if I remember that one right or not though.
It was funny seeing how Castillo wasn't the least bit surprised that Stan ditched work to be on a game show. Haha.

Binghamton University announces honorary degree recipients
BINGHAMTON, NY -- Binghamton University, State University of New York, will award two honorary doctorates and hear from U.S. Rep. Maurice D. Hinchey (D-N.Y.) at Commencement ceremonies scheduled for May 16 and 17 in the Events Center.
Honorary doctorates will be awarded to two Binghamton University alumni on Sunday, May 17: Lawrence J. Schorr, a respected attorney, business leader and philanthropist, will receive the honorary Doctor of Laws and speak at the 8:30 a.m. Harpur College ceremony, and Mario J. Paniccia, an Intel fellow and director of the Photonics Technology Lab, Corporate Technology Group for Intel Corp., will receive the honorary Doctor of Science and speak at the 3:30 p.m. Harpur College ceremony.
Hinchey will be the guest speaker at the noon ceremony for the professional schools.
Lawrence J. Schorr
After earning bachelor's and master's degrees in English from Binghamton, Lawrence J. Schorr continued his education at Syracuse University, receiving his juris doctorate in 1981. He began practicing law that year at Levene, Gouldin and Thompson LLP as a corporate lawyer and became a partner in 1985. In 1988, he left the firm to become president of Resource Recycling Technologies, Inc., an American Stock Exchange company that he sold to a NYSE Fortune 500 company in 1995. Schorr then became president of a privately held group of plastics manufacturing companies and in 2004 acquired and became chief executive officer of Ohio-based Boltaron Performance Products LLC, a large PVC plastic sheet manufacturer. In 2000, while still running the plastics company, Schorr returned to Levene, Gouldin, Thompson to become its administrative, then managing partner in 2007. He now serves as special counsel.
A staunch supporter of Binghamton University, Schorr is chair of the Binghamton University Foundation, vice president of the Binghamton Forum and a Binghamton University Athletic Club board member. He is a member of the Harpur College Advisory Council and supports faculty and their research through the Harpur College Faculty Development Fund and the School of Management Faculty Development Fund. He also serves on the Broome Community College Foundation Board of Directors, chair of the board of the Goodwill Theater, as an officer of the Southern Tier Opportunities Coalition and as a board member of Metro-Interfaith Housing.
He and his wife, Jennifer Brink Schorr MBA '81, former Binghamton University registrar and current special assistant to the provost, are generous philanthropists to the University and the Binghamton community at large.
Mario J. Paniccia
Mario J. Paniccia earned a bachelor of science degree in physics from Binghamton University in 1988 and a doctorate in solid state physics from Purdue University in 1994. With more than 65 patents issued or pending, he now directs a research group for Intel Corp., developing silicon-based photonic building blocks for future use in enterprise and data center communications.
Paniccia has worked in many areas of optical technologies during his career at Intel, including optical testing for leading-edge microprocessors, optical communications and optical interconnects. His team's pioneering activities in silicon photonics have led to many firsts, including development of the first silicon modulator with bandwidth greater than 1GHz, in 2004, and then the first at 40Gb/s, in 2007. His team also boasts the first continuous-wave silicon laser breakthrough in 2005, and, together with the University of California at Santa Barbara, the world's first "Hybrid Silicon Laser" in 2006.
Paniccia has been recognized with numerous awards and in November 2004 was named by Scientific American as one of the top 50 researchers for his team's work in silicon photonics. In October 2008, Paniccia was named by R&D Magazine as "Scientist of the Year" — an award given to those whose accomplishments rise above the norm — for his team's pioneering research.
He has published numerous papers, including three that appeared in Nature, three Nature Photonics papers and three book chapters. Paniccia is a senior member of the IEEE, a nonprofit organization that is the world's leading professional association for the advancement of technology, and a fellow of the Optical Society of America (OSA).
Maurice D. Hinchey
Maurice D. Hinchey, in his ninth term in the U.S. House of Representatives representing New York's 22nd Congressional District, is a member of the House Appropriations Committee, which allocates funds in the federal budget.
Hinchey serves on its subcommittees on Interior, Environment and Related Agencies; Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies; and Defense. Hinchey is also a member of the House Natural Resources Committee and one of only 20 members on the bicameral Joint Economic Committee. He also serves on the Board of Visitors for the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
Hinchey has been instrumental in garnering support for Binghamton University during his tenure in Congress. Most recently, he played a key role in Binghamton University's receipt of $4 million in federal funds to support its Center for Autonomous Solar Power. He has also helped garner millions in federal funds to support microelectronics research and advanced sensor design.
Before his election to Congress, Hinchey served 18 years in the New York State Assembly, including 14 years as chairman of the Committee on Environmental Conservation. He also served on the Ways and Means, Rules, Banks, Health, Higher Education, Labor, Energy and Agriculture committees.
Hinchey enlisted in the U.S. Navy after high school, serving in the Pacific on the destroyer U.S.S. Marshall. After receiving an honorable discharge, he worked as a laborer in a cement plant before enrolling in the State University of New York at New Paltz. He put himself through college working as a night-shift toll collector on the New York State Thruway and went on to earn a master's degree at SUNY New Paltz.
Hinchey is the father of three children. He and his wife, Allison, make their home in Hurley, N.Y.

Hearing Pelecanos's prose in such a noirish setting, one in which crime fiction could sound like mere atmosphere, emphasized how rigorously he's avoided the clichés of noir. He is an ace plotter, and his multi-strand narratives work to narrow the space between his characters so that, by the end of the book, he's put them and us in a tense, tight corner.
But by now it's clear that he's equally concerned with reportage. I don't want to diminish the pleasure he gives or his craft. Pelecanos is one of the few hard-boiled writers in whose work spareness does not equal dumb macho stoicism. He is not a social worker who just happens to write novels. Yet without ever giving into agitprop or self-righteousness, he's taken on the largely abandoned roles of novelist as muckraker and social critic. His evocations of inner-city Washington are not those of a tut-tutting tourist. He never forgets that people live in these neighborhoods and that, despite the crime and decay, life that most of us would recognize continues there. He extends compassion to those who merit it, and he doesn't offer up phony excuses for the frighteningly blank characters who sometimes turn up in his pages.
And that's as much as I'm going to say about the plot, largely because you should have the pleasure of discovering it for yourself. But also because, as always in Pelecanos, the details are at least as important as the story. Here those details focus on the police detective's family life, particularly his relationship with his teenage son as he finds the balance of keeping the boy on the straight and narrow while trusting him enough to allow him to steer his own course. No doubt Pelecanos, who has two sons, is drawing on his own experience here, and it's one of the more believable portraits of family life in any recent American novel. That you might think it just an accumulation of familiar details only confirms the level Pelecanos is working on. As Pauline Kael once said of Gene Hackman, he's so consistently believable, he's always in danger of people saying he's merely good.

Deeplinks Blog posts about National Security Letters
A court filing unsealed late Wednesday shows that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) made a highly misleading argument to an appeals court in October during a hearing on the constitutionality of National Security Letters (NSLs).
Even the reports that are supposed to provide transparency about the FBI's use of national security lettters (NSLs) are secret—or at least a couple dozen pages of them are. NSLs are nonjudicial orders that allow the FBI to obtain information from companies, without a warrant, about their customers' use of services. They almost always contain a gag order, which prohibits recipients from even saying they've received the request.
Two Office of the Inspector General (OIG) reports reviewing the FBI's use of NSLs from 2007 and 2008 were reissued earlier this week after having portions declassified. You can see the newly released versions of the 2007 report here and the 2008 report here.
FBI Director James Comey gave a speech yesterday reiterating the FBI's nearly twenty-year-old talking points about why it wants to reduce the security in your devices, rather than help you increase it. Here's EFF's response:
Ever since the Snowden revelations, honest (and some dishonest) efforts have been made in Congress to try to scale back at least some of the NSA's spying. It's a complex problem, since the NSA has overstepped reasonable bounds in so many different directions and there is intense secrecy surrounding the NSA's activities and legal analysis.
The bill with the best chance to make some positive change currently is the Senate version of USA FREEDOM Act, a new piece of legislation with an older name.
After extensive analysis and internal discussion, EFF has decided to support this bill. But given the complexities involved, we wanted to lay out our thinking in more detail for our friends and allies.
What is a warrant canary?
A warrant canary is a colloquial term for a regularly published statement that a service provider has not received legal process that it would be prohibited from saying it had received. Once a service provider does receive legal process, the speech prohibition goes into place, and the canary statement is removed.
Warrant canaries are often provided in conjunction with a transparency report, listing the process the service provider can publicly say it received over the course of a particular time period. The canary is a reference to the canaries used to provide warnings in coalmines, which would become sick before miners from carbon monoxide poisoning, warning of the danger.

The FDA has yet against sounded a warning of 'appropriate action' against the companies that fail to implement 'Good Manufacturing Practices.'
Singapore: With increasing number of non-compliance issues being logged against Indian drugmakers by the US FDA, this time the American regulatory body has instructed the companies to either comply or face action.
US FDA has said that they are finding contaminants like filth, pesticides and insect parts in drugs manufactured in India, however such problems have emerged from other countries as well.
The FDA has yet against sounded a warning of 'appropriate action' against the companies that fail to implement 'Good Manufacturing Practices.'
This month, Wockhardt and Fresenius Kabi received warning letters from the FDA on lapses in good manufacturing practices while Hospira Healthcare India and RPG Life Sciences received warnings in May.
Last week, the FDA clamped down on 15 companies globally and India's Amrutam Life Care was one of them. The company was under fire for illegal sale of drugs labeled as dietary supplement and ayurvedic products for treating diabetes.

While the market remains soft and some businesses continue to struggle, recognizing the value of a trustworthy alliance with your bank is crucial. Consider a banker to be a member of one's business management team and utilize their expertise to help address a downturn in business operations as soon as the trend emerges. Your bank may be willing to modify existing commercial loans to restructure debt and improve cash flow. Early recognition of financial trouble and communication between the borrower and the bank is the first step in navigating the process. A bank's preferred solution on a problem loan is to negotiate a plan of action to try to protect both parties from possible loss. This partnership is vital to reach a favorable solution.

But Stereo Total don't intend the vibe of a normal band, and on their latest disc — Baby Ouh! (Disko B), with homages to heroes like Andy Warhol, Divine, and Pedro Almodóvar — they make explicit their love of trash and kitsch. "If you open up a music magazine, you always see a bunch of guys looking really cool," says singer/drummer Françoise Cactus. "What is special about Stereo Total is that we don't look like musicians."
Cactus is the French-born half of the longstanding Berlin duo, with German-born guitarist/keyboardist/vocalist Brezel ("Prezel") Göring. And for the past 15 years, the pair have been mystifying the music business with their perseverance and moderate but consistent success. In industrial-design terms (to indulge their German side for a moment), Stereo Total are a machine that runs simply because it works. A three-piece drum set, an out-of-tune guitar, a basic sampler, a synthesizer, and a couple of shitty microphones — these are the only tools the duo need to rock the party all night long, weaving among languages (German, French, English, Spanish, and Japanese) with their tasteless tales of perversity, inanity, and (sometimes) melo-dramedy.
Any journalist who writes that Baby Ouh! shows any growth or maturity deserves to have his or her Sam Goody "Replay" card taken away. In their 1995 debut, Oh Ah!, Stereo Total hit the underground with the saucy typewriter sounds of "Dactylo Rock" and a version of Salt-n-Pepa's "Push It" that suggested one of those goofy practice-room recordings where the bandmembers are switching instruments. Unabashedly fun from the beginning, the duo have always begged the question of whether what they create is novelty music. They themselves have a strict policy of not listening to their albums once they're released.
When Cactus met Göring, she was living in Berlin and had quit her garage-rock/French-pop band, Les Lolitas, after they began to sound too polished. Her philosophy is as simple as it sounds: "I want everything to be necessary. If you didn't do it, then there would be no music at all." After noticing each other around the city, the two linked up. It was then that Cactus discovered that Brezel was a member of the Sigmund Freud Experience — a band whose records she found not only excellent but also funny. ("It was really special German music because especially Germans are not really groovy!")

Taking advantage of a costly mistake made by the Colorado goalkeeper Steward Ceus, Jackson scored an early goal and gave FC Dallas a 1-0 win over the Rapids to open the season.
FC Dallas took the lead in the 11th minute when Rapids goalkeeper Ceus misjudged a pass and came out too far, allowing the ball to bounce over his head. Jackson capitalized on the blunder and confidently walked the ball into the net.
The Rapids debuted a new look and a handful of their new players, including rookies Deshorn Brown and Dillon Powers. In the 14th minute, Powers set up Brown who had a shot on goal, but FC Dallas 'keeper Raul Fernandez was not to be beaten.
Midway through the first half, Jair Benitez was carried off the field after being struck in the ribs. Michel made his MLS debut, subbing in for the injured 34-year old Colombian and putting in a solid shift in his first outing.
In spite of impressive possession by the visiting team, Dallas defended its net well and earned the club its first three points of the season.

How Much Plastic Trash Clogs the Ocean? Exhibit Offers Insights
Posted On August 3, 2012 by Catherine Fox
How do you explain the magnitude of the ocean trash problem, particularly to people in a landlocked country like Switzerland? Put a representative sampling right in front of them.
Check out this video of a crew setting up an installation that's part of the fantastic exhibit "Out to Sea? The Plastic Garbage Project" at the Museum für Gestaltung in Zurich, Switzerland (soon going on tour). You can see it took some time. Unfortunately, every 15 seconds this same amount of trash enters the ocean, according to estimates from the United Nations Environment Programme. Continue reading »

Quoting NeapolitanFan:The book is lauded as a "bestseller", but that's not too impressive given that it's not even the number one book on the German Amazon site. In the "Science" category. In the "Environment" subcategory. (It doesn't appear in the overall German top 100 on Amazon, meaning it's got less traction than that, say, #96 barnburner Pig's head al dente: A provincial crime)
At any rate, the science isn't about whether Big Energy has spent enough money on its PR campaign to successfully confuse the majority of people, is it?
Whatever. You denialists may want to hold off fully praising the book until you read it...

- Schulhoff - Solo & Ensemble Works Vol. 2
Erwin Schulhoff (Prague 1894-Wrzburg 1942, a renowned pianist/composer during his lifetime, long forgotten in the years after his death, is beginning to win back the place he deserves on the international musical scene. His rediscovery is worthwhile in every sense. Schulhoff was a greatly talented and versatile musician and his music holds a fascinating mirror up to the time in which he lived; but no matter how much his music was a product of the times, his works rarely sound dated. He began as a follower of his idols, Grieg, Reger (with whom he studied in Leipzig), Strauss, and Debussy. He won the Mendelssohn prize twice, amply fulfilling the promise seen in the seven year old by Antonin Dvorak. But the real Erwin Schulhoff did not make an appearance until after the first World War, after time spent in Italian and Russian trenches. These horrifying experiences made his work less romantic, giving it a rawer, scornful quality ("inspired by the rubble and garbage of Europe", to quote one of his diaries). Born in Prague, he settled in Germany, the cultural center of the western world, and explored and absorbed all the new developments in the arts which he encountered: expressionism, dadaism, atonality, quarter tone music ( which he only performed, but did not compose), surrendering to the newest American rage: jazz. He triumphed as pianist and composer throughout Europe. The rise of fascism around 1930 resulted in another radical change in his life. It meant a virtual end to his career, and he joined forces with the communists. He made his compositions into political manifestos (fiery protest songs, orchestral works dedicated to Spanish freedom fighters or the Soviet army, a cantata on the manifesto of Marx and Engels). In 1941, shortly before his projected emigration to Russia, he was arrested by the Nazis and deported to an internment camp in Bavaria, where he died in 1942.
The pieces on this cd date from the 1919-1936 period, and illustrate various aspects of Schulhoff's composing abilities. Wolkenpumpe, Bassnachtigall, Symphonia Germanica, and Sonate Erotica all belong to his dadaistic works, rarely or never performed during his lifetime. It was the Ebony Band which gave these works their first performances (except for the Bassnachtigall) in the early 1990s. Little is known about the Symphonia Germanica ("for the use of all the limbs of the body and the refreshment of Dresden musical life! And for the joy of like-minded reviewers") and the Sonata Erotica ("for Gentlemen only"). Schulhoff only mentions the titles once in a sketch, but for a long time theywere missing from the list of his works and the manuscripts could not be found. These crudely provocative dadaistic works were undoubtedly produced amidst the lively circle of friends around Schulhoff's sister Viola (in whose elegant rented home in Dresden Erwin found lodging in 1919). Among Viola Schulhoff's friends was the painter Otto Griebel (1895-1972), in collaboration with whom Erwin produced a most unusual work: ten little piano pieces with ten accompanying lithographs (see the cd cover...). These were published in Dresden in 1920 in a limited edition, with the title Ten Themes (republished by the Ebony Band in May 1996). The Wolkenpumpe (on texts from the collection of the same name by Hans Arp (1887-1966) and Die Bassnachtigall both date from 1922 and are both provided with texts written by Schulhoff himself. In the prologue to the Wolkenpumpe, the names of various well-known dadaists as well as his own name are interwoven; in the Bassnachtigall text, the audience is roughly taken in hand. In the Hot-Sonate, Schulhoff shows his strong 'feeling" for jazz and his masterly ability to integrate the spirit of this music with classical concert music. This piece was first performed during the Berliner Funkstunde in April 1930, and the saxophonist was the famous Billy Barton of the London Savoy Orleans Band, a professional jazz musician. "Only musicians like this can play my Sonate", Schulhoff declared in the music periodical Melos. A very different aspect of Schulhoff's artistry can be heard in the vocalworks Chant d'Amour, Zebrak (The beggar), and Ukolebavka (Lullaby). They are lyrical, moving miniatures, composed for various different occasions. Chant d'Amour (Dnem noci souzim se) was part of the music which Schulhoff wrote in 1926 for the play "Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme", and also appeared as a piece for piano solo in this collection of incidental music (CCS 6994). The other two songs date from 10 years later, when Schulhoff had moved to Ostrava and (to earn money) wrote music for the radio series "Die klare und dunkle Stadt". The light pieces Kassandra, Orinoco, Syncopated Peter, Susi , and Dneska kazda modne zena (every fashionable woman today) were produced between 1931 and 1935 in Prague. He had already written in this vein under pseudonyms (including John Longfield, Joe Fuller, George Hanell), probably because at this time the serious composer Erwin Schulhoff had acquired a different conception of the role of the composer in society; he distanced himself spiritually from frivolous, "meaningless" jazz and popular music. Nonetheless, whether as a way of earning money or for other reasons, Schuhoff's master hand remains unmistakable. Werner Herbers Translation: David Shapero

E. Schulhoff Solo - Ensemble works (vol.2)
The Ebony Band was founded in 1990 by Werner Herbers, solo oboist of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. For many years he was one of the artistic directors of the Netherlands Wind Ensemble. The Ebony Band is concerned with the performance of modern, unusual, and adventurous music, primarily from the first half of this century. Attention is devoted primarily to the work of less well-known composers worthy of (re)discovery. The Ebony Band devoted several programs to German music at the time of the Weimar republic (degenerated music). A program was also given during the 1991 Holland Festival with composers who were involved in the Spanish Civil War. Other programs included Leonard Bernstein and Friends, Degenerated influences on Jazz and Unknown Russians in the Twenties. The core of the Ebony Band consists of musicians from the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. In the 1993 Holland Festival, the Ebony Band performed music by Robert Graettinger, the legendary arranger for the Stan Kenton band; a live recording of this concert has been issued (City of Glass, CCS 6394 Channel Crossing).

Your energy source.
When you turn on the reading lamp over your favorite chair, you may not think about what goes on behind the switch. And that's okay. It's our job to build and maintain the generation facilities, the transmission lines and the distribution system it takes to bring electricity to you.
Today, meeting the growing energy needs of customers requires a diverse mix of fuels to generate electricity. That means national fuel prices significantly affect our costs to generate and purchase electricity. The same holds true for electricity we purchase in the wholesale market since much of that power is generated by natural gas when demand for electricity is highest.
Also impacting the cost of electricity is the need to upgrade and expand our transmission system in order to reliably carry increasing amounts of energy, to replace aging distribution equipment to deliver electricity to homes and businesses, and to meet emerging state and federal environmental regulations. While how we produce and deliver electricity has expanded over our 125 years of service, our customers continue to experience some of the lowest prices in the nation.
Managing Through Rising Costs

Helping Bar members get the most from technology will be the focus of the Bar's Communications Committee in the coming year.
"In the next year we will provide some of the best member benefits that I have ever seen since I've been practicing in the way of technology, in the way of things that will go into every attorney's hand that will be incredibly useful and helpful in their practice," committee Chair Mary Ann Morgan told the Board of Governors in December.
That includes developing an app for mobile devices that will incorporate the five or so most-used features of the Bar's website and a quick member search that will directly connect to phone numbers and email addresses.
The committee also approved developing a free-standing app for the Bar's Annual Convention to allow Bar members to get directions to convention events, read biographies of speakers, connect with exhibitor websites, and other services, she said.
The Bar's recently hired technology consultant, Adriana Linares, also is reviewing the recently released app that allows downloading Bar News articles on mobile devices.
The committee recommended and the board approved allowing a six-month pilot program of the Consumer Protection Law Committee using Twitter to distribute consumer protection information available on the Bar's website. One Twitter "handle" will be for consumers and another for Bar members who want to keep abreast of consumer protection laws.
On related issues, Morgan said the committee hopes to have by the board's February 1 meeting recommendations on implementing communications-related recommendations from the Hawkins Commission report on the Bar's grievance system.
She said the committee also reviewed the Constitutional Judiciary Committee's interactive "Benchmarks" program to educate adults in community groups about the legal system and the importance of the courts. New presentation topics include evaluating judicial candidates, amending the state constitution, and merit selection and retention. Existing topics cover the Bill of Rights, what the law means, judicial independence, and knowledge of the U.S. and Florida constitutions.
The board also approved the committee's proposal to add a link to the Bar's website homepage to the FloridaProBono.org website with information about legal services organizations and volunteering through the One pro bono program.

Sometimes breakfast can get you into a rut. Most mornings, it's an afterthought on the way out the door consisting of cereal, toast, oatmeal or something you can eat on the run.
My morning rut is a bowl of the same kind of honey nut cereal every day of the week. Occasionally I change it up with toast but most mornings, breakfast is pretty boring and, honestly, kind of sad.
Then there are the times you are running out of time for breakfast and get fast food on your way to work or eat a granola bar at your desk.
In other words, breakfast often is forgotten in weekly meal planning. It shouldn't because breakfast foods can be the yummiest you'll eat that day. After all, pancakes are a breakfast food and pancakes are divine.
Although it might be challenging, making the time to fix breakfast in the morning can be a treat. In fact, sometimes a fast-food style breakfast can be made better from scratch and be just as convenient.
For example, an Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwich can be good for on the go or a nice breakfast at home. The recipe creator used this recipe as a on a McMuffin sandwich.
What's great is this is a simple recipe and and inexpensive to make. And, baking the eggs in the muffin tin is kind of cool.
The result is a lovely little sandwich perfect for any breakfast or, because it's a little fancier than a McMuffin, great for a light brunch.
To continue the breakfast rescue, make it more than just a sandwich. Potatoes are a great side with any breakfast.
After a search on Pinterest, Breakfast Potato Bites To Go sounded like a great thing to pair with the breakfast sandwich.
This recipe is basically a cheesy hashbrown dish in a convenient cup form. It called for a short list of ingredients but you can add whatever you usually like on your hashbrowns — scattered, covered or smothered.
The small cupcake shape is a perfect size and looks nice on a plate.
Both of these dishes have easy-to-follow recipes.
Stop and enjoy breakfast or take the time for a Saturday brunch. Try a few new things and get out of the morning breakfast rut.

Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwiches
English muffins
Large eggs
Shredded cheese (10 ounces for 12 sandwiches)
Butter or olive oil (optional)
Lightly oil a muffin tin and crack an egg in each tin.
Bake the muffin tin with eggs in a 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes. Depending on your egg size, start checking them early to make sure they are cooked through. Try not to overcook them.
Slice the muffins and toast them in the oven for 10 minutes or you can toast them one at a time.
Add a cooked egg, grated cheese and any protein or vegetables you want to each sandwich.
Bake sandwiches for 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
To eat later, place sandwiches on a baking sheet and put in freezer until frozen, about an hour. Wrap sandwiches individually in plastic or foil and store in a freezer-safe bag.
When reheating, you can microwave if you're in a hurry, but it'll make the muffin soggy. If you can plan ahead a bit, bake the sandwich at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes. You can even keep it wrapped in the foil.

Breakfast Potato Bites To Go
1 package of pre-shredded potatoes
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 finely chopped onion
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and thoroughly grease a mini muffin pan (you might need more than one). Pour potatoes into a bowl, add salt, garlic powder and onion, stir to combine. Pour in the eggs and give it another stir. Add the cheese and mix it all up. Spoon into mini muffin tins and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and tops and edges begin to get crispy. Eat warm or cool and freeze in individual packs, Reheat about 20 seconds in the microwave.

The Hermannshöhen (literally 'Hermann's Rise') is made up of two ridge walks – the Hermannsweg and the Eggeweg. One of the most beautiful walking trails in Germany, it has been awarded the 'Wanderbares Deutschland' seal of quality.
At the mystical Externsteine fissured rocks near Horn-Bad Meinberg, the Hermannsweg meets the Eggeweg, which runs for almost 70 kilometres on unspoilt paths through the Egge hills, a region known for its wealth of beech trees and deciduous forests. From the Externsteine fissured rocks, you head south following the wooded ridge trail, which offers a number of beautiful vistas across broad valleys. En route to Ober-Marsberg in the Diemel valley, an abundance of natural and cultural treasures await discovery, such as Iburg Castle near Bad Driburg, the 'Egge cathedral' and the Karlsschanze fortress.
Tip: Externsteine fissured rocks
The Externsteine are a grouping of fissured sandstone rocks that rise up sharply at the edge of a lake. It is not clear whether this mystical place was a spiritual site in pre-Christian times. The modern information centre is well worth a visit and offers a fascinating insight into the history of the rocks.

Flamin' Joes franchise owner nabbed in DEA Oxy raid
SPOKANE, Wash. - DEA agents served a dozen federal warrants across Spokane County early Thursday morning as part of a large federal drug raid that nabbed 41 suspects, including 12 here in Spokane.
16 federal search warrants were executed in Spokane County, in addition to 30 in Los Angeles and one more in Mountlake Terrace, Wash., according to the DEA.
"Members of this ring regularly circulate between Los Angeles and Spokane to fuel their customer's insatiable appetite and pharmaceutical addiction," said Seattle DEA Special Agent in Charge Matthew G. Barnes.
"Today's enforcement action is an outstanding example of the robust and effective working partnership among Federal, state, and local law enforcement," U.S. Attorney Michael Ormsby for the Eastern District of Washington added.
The raids are a result of a 32-count federal indictment filed in January 2013 in the Eastern District of Washington that alleged a number of people were distributing Oxycontin in violation of the Federal Controlled Substances Act.
The raids started around 5 a.m. Thursday, when agents served a dozen warrants at residences across the county, including the following locations:
- Indiana Avenue and Lacey Street
- 14th Avenue and Raymond Road
- Buckeye Avenue and Cuba Street
- Olympic Avenue and Cincinnati Street
Indictments filed against the defendants in the case were sealed by Magistrate Cynthia Imbrogno in late January against Arvin Carmen, Amber Branch, Katriel Bulley, Brandon Chavez, David Colbert, Sally Guthrie, Marlon Johnson, Harry Johnwell and Mercedes Reeves.
Amber Branch, Sally Guthrie and Marlon Johnson appeared in federal court Thursday morning, where they plead not guilty to conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance.
Sally Blakely Guthrie's defense attorney said Thursday morning that his client owned three businesses in Spokane. Public records indicate that a Sally Blakely Guthrie is listed as the owner of three Flamin' Joe's restaurants in north Spokane, Spokane Valley and on the South Hill.
Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich said Thursday afternoon if Guthrie is part of the ring responsible for bringing Oxycontin into our area, it would make her part of the driving force behind a lot of Spokane's property crimes.
"Oxycontin is one of the most addictive drugs that we see out on the streets," Knezovich said. "It's become a major problem in the Spokane area and it relates to a lot of the property crimes that we see."
Some of the suspects arrested in Thursday's raids face mandatory minimum sentences of 20 years in prison if convicted. Federal authorities also filed a notice of criminal forfeiture of $20 million, the amount the government contends is the proceeds as a result of the illegal distribution of controlled substances.
The raids were part of an ongoing investigation conducted by the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force and was conducted by the DEA's Seattle and Los Angeles offices, Los Angeles Police Department and Spokane Regional Drug Task Force. 20 different law enforcement agencies in Spokane and Los Angeles assisted in the Thursday morning raids, including the Spokane Police Department and Spokane County Sheriff's Office.
"Today's operation is another fine example of the outstanding partnerships that have been forged between agencies who are committed to ridding our communities of violent organized criminals who prey on our City," Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck said.

Outlook for the UK over the next 6-30 days
UK Outlook for Monday 1 May 2017 to Wednesday 10 May 2017:
Bank Holiday Monday currently looks likely to be rather unsettled in the south, with some showery outbreaks of rain moving across the UK. However there will be brighter spells in-between, and in the brightness it should feel fairly pleasant, most likely in the north. There may well also be some showers on Tuesday, and to a much lesser extent on Wednesday, but on the whole Wednesday is likely to be dry with some sunshine for many. Temperatures early next week are expected to be around average for early May. Then from Thursday onwards we are likely to see high pressure dominate, with largely dry and settled weather prevailing, with increasing amounts of sunshine. The settled weather is also likely to bring temperatures slightly above average, especially during the sunnier interludes.

Passionate, original and responsible, Menu delivers high quality crisp, clean designs expressed in soft Nordic colors to create their own style they call "Soft Minimalism".
Founded in 1976, Menu A/S is a Danish design company that collaborates with talented designers in-house and worldwide to deliver high quality design with a crisp, Scandinavian look. Passionate about design, new materials and clever details, Menu strives for original designs that balance the masculine and feminine, and the tactile and sensual, to create an unusual but harmonious experience for the user.
Working strategically with innovative products, Menu's projects always have either a new function, a new material or a new production method at the heart of the design. That originality is what makes it a true Menu product.
Part of this process includes locating new partners in developing countries and around the world. Seeking local factories or small private co-operations, Menu wants the production of their high quality goods to provide the people involved in the production with a better economic foundation.
With belief in making design matter - Menu strives to create products that evoke true feelings, innovations that make a genuine difference, and by combining do-well with do-good.
Jakob Wagner was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1963 and received his first design degree in his home town. After attending several international schools he graduated from the Art Center in Montreux, Switzerland, with a degree in product design in 1992.
He immediately set up his own studio in Copenhagen and for the first 5 years of his career he worked with sports and professional equipment for clients such as Porsche and Pioneer. Though, gradually he gained interest in objects for the home. On his design philosophy, Jakob says: "I often try to create a kind of balanced tension between opposite qualities in the object. I play with static versus dynamic expression, symmetry versus asymmetry, masculine versus feminine, organic versus geometric, etc. This challenges our senses, makes an object come alive and touches us emotionally."
In 2003, he was awarded The Danish Arts Foundation Three-Year honorable Bursary. Jakob's work is often part of exhibitions in Scandinavia and around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, where he had his first object included in the permanent collection in 2006. In autumn 2008, Jakob won the award as Denmark's "Best Designer" by one of the leading interior magazines.View other products by Jakob Wagner

Sunday, February 17
Orono Eminentair vs. Daoangkarn Kiatpetch
Obviously this week is nowhere near as big as last week but there are still some quality match-ups to go around.
Monday's event is a Onesongchai show and features some important fighters in the lighter divisions. At 103 lbs, #4 Lumpini ranked mini flyweight Saksit Srithivet fights Raktemroi Visootjaroenyont. #7 Lumpini ranked light flyweight Pitchichai Or. Bor. Tor. Khampi comes off a stoppage win and fights Phetlamsin Kiatphontip.
The fight between Lookman and Rungphet on Tuesday has the potential to be a great one. Lookman was in the Channel 7 Fight of the Year last year, with Seeoui.
Friday's show is probably the "big" one of the week, with Mondam and Superlek in the main event. These two are some of the most dynamic young fighters on the scene right now. They fought back in November, with Superlek winning a decision. Yuthachai is also back after a war with Yodtuantong last month and fights Dejnarong, who just made his return not too long ago. Yodmanoot vs. Peteng is an important fight as well. Peteng is one of the hottest up and comers on the scene. With Satarnmuanglek having just won the Thailand title at 105lbs and Peteng having beaten him before that, this could set up a rematch and a chance for Peteng to fight for that title.

|The Quintessential Trout Trout angling is the core of flyfishing worldwide.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Stocking is an issue here in Ireland too. A lot of fisheries are based on their reputation as a wild trout water. Obviously this is incompatible with stocking - but often times angling clubs feel the need to augment the fish stock by adding to it rather than simply not taking from it...
Salmon stocking also occurs especially on rivers which have had their salmon runs decimated by hydroelectric stations. Hatchery fish don't survive like wild fish... A worrying thought when you consider some do make it up river to spawn, sharing dodgey genes with their native cousins...
In my view the issue is not the angling pluses or minuses, but the potential damage it could do to wild fish. Though certainly there is a case for stocking as has been outlined by Domenic, Juro and John above. All things in moderation...
The Irish Char Conservation Group recently held a conference in Ireland where many noted fisheries experts spoke. Prof Andy Fergusson spoke on brown trout in Ireland. Amongst other things he stated:
"The 3 main threats to brown trout in Ireland today:
1. Habitat loss as with other species
2. Introduction of other species leading to inter-specific competition
3. Stocking of non-native brown trout species
Ireland has a unique diversity of brown trout, which should be given a high priority conservation status by both fisheries and heritage managers... "

I also include the following link to the articles we have on Irish brown trout:
I hope you enjoy what you read!
Lorenzo -
Recently Eddie visited your area. The trout he caught were legendary. Luis (trutta) recently visited Patagonia, his first time since his childhood. I have your country on my list of places I must fish before my time has passed.
Two years ago while I was fishing the Malleo river in southern argentina I met an american angler from North Carolina, I asked him why he come from so far away to fish If I always see in the american's magazines pictures of big trouts, he just answer me: "Because these ones are wild...."
|Rangley is still a great place to fish. The LL's are great fun and the feeders like the Rapid and others are super spots. It's just different and is a direct result of some of the misguided policies of put and take fishing.
|Well said, Chris; shame about Rangely. I hope the management policies prove to be successful and that the efforts also provide data for other eastern seaboard states to evaluate.
I would say we all would like to not have to catch hatchery fish. Unfortunately the great majority of trout, even in Maine, are mass produced factory fish. Uncountable streams do have self supporting brookie and landlocked salmon populations but nearly all at one place or another are stocked.
Many of the same factors that have caused us to become stocked fish whores, fishing pressure, the introduction of exotics-browns, rainbows, relocated LL salmon and now though not DIF&W sanctioned pike and I hear walleyes-were misguided policies of the states hatchery commissions in the first place.
Rangely Lake used to be, up until early in the 1900's, a fabulous giant brook trout water. The brookies were the top of the food chain and their main fodder was the now virtually extinct, except for a couple of very remote ponds in Aroostook Cty., blue back trout. The powers that be felt that having LL's in only their ONLY truely native lake, Sebago, was unacceptable. By deciding to truck LL's into Rangley, and many other lakes and rivers, along with their favorite food, the smelt, they ruined a perfect fishery. The smelt out competed the blue back for food and spawning beds in turn effecting the brookie's place in the pecking order. There are still some good brookies there but most are hold over stockers. The salmon fishing is great and both do have some success in self sustaining their numbers-but at what cost?
Today in Maine any water that has good spawning success rates has very strict season, tackle and bag limits to help improve the natural wild populations. As an example, the Kennebec River is second only to the Chessepeak Bay estuary for striped bass spawning habitat. The river from a line across the mouth to the first impoundment in Waterville is closed to bait AND the taking of ANY stripers until July 1st. Which is just about the same day the alewives move out of or have been transported above the dams to spawn. From then until October single hook lures or flies or bait can be used however, For the entire coast of Maine and the estuaries a slot limit of one fish between 20" and 26" or over 40" may be kept. We are trying, starting in '73 with the clean water act, by our own senator Ed Muskie, and with better science and understanding of the fish themselves and of the shortsightedness of many of the policies that brought us to this point I think things have the potential to get better. This horse can be flogged for ever-the solution begins when we each tackle little things that concern and effect us most closesly and do something.
We can rail about the policies and mistakes or get active in our local chapters of TU and CCA and try our best to protect whats left and fix whats wrong.
I just have to, as I suspect most of us do, feel fortunate that most of our water and woods here are free and open. When things in the east start getting like the cattle rancher/ fisherman conflicts of the west or worse pay for sport beats like in the UK-then we're really in trouble.
Take your rod, go to a favorite pool, with any luck you'll be alone, and cast your fly upon the water. Regardless of the underlying currents it is still the best salve for my soul in these uncertain or any other times.
Peace, Chris
|There are all kinds of fishermen (and women) out there and many think of fishing as following around the stocking truck and dipping powerbait laden hooks to gut hook their fish. To a lot of people this is what fishing is all about--after all you need to bring home some fish to prove yourself. Others choose to wave a stick and try to lip hook a trout by inticing it to take a fake bug. These people are more prone to practice catch and release methods. Stocked fish serve a purpose to all kinds of fishermen and without it many would have no good fishing experiences. Personally, a secluded, peaceful native trout stream where I can catch and release (or at least try) is my cup of tea.
|John Desjardins
My earlier response is my experience with the seamier side of stocking, where the sport of fishing is reduced to the act of catching meat and fish size/growth is pushed to its limits. I have had satisfying days fishing for stocked trout. Even frustrating days when a net full of fish is thrown into the pool I'm fishing in and I can't get a bite for the life of me. The reality of fishing in an area with as dense a population as ours is that stocking may be needed in those locations that receive high fishing pressure. Looking at the factors beyond the different habitats, I have often wondered why a stocking program is required for trout, while none is for large or small mouth bass.
Managing the fishing pressure is the key to reducing the need for stocking. This may not be popular but closure of streams with viable, reproducing populations of trout during the spawning period might help the fish. After the anger of having streams closed by the MDC a couple of weeks ago subsided, this was my first thought on the effect of the closure. Since the streams are open again (Wachusett area), we won't find out how this would work.
I certainly didn't mean to be unnecessarily frank about the whole thing, but I did mean to solicit some thought on the topic.
Truth be known, I've had some very memorable days chasing stocked trout with my young children, and learned to love trout because they were available to me due to stocking practices.
I think my point is there are right places to turn into hatchery populations and wrong places. Regardless of where in the country we reside, we don't seem to care about nurturing healthy populations of self-sufficient trout, instead we are obsessed with providing harvestable biomass.
|John Desjardins
Your encounter with the hatchery worker reminds me of a place that I am somewhat ashamed of fishing once, where I caught the last 2 fish I kept.
On my honeymoon my wife and I went to Prince Edward Island. It was early in the year for salmon and I decided that rather than taking a whole day to buy a license and try to find some trout I would just go to a pay per fish pond. What a mistake. The pond was about 2 acres with aerator in the middle, and a retaining pool of ready to be stocked rainbow trout next to it. I checked in with the farmer running the place and set up to fish with a spinning rod and a worm. About five minutes later the farmer comes back and says "what no fish yet!" and starts throwing feed pellets into the water. Instantly there are swirls on the water and I have a fish on, a 12" or so rainbow. That one went into the bucket and I set about to catch another for dinner. More pellets are thrown in the water and I get a good hit that fights ok. After its landed it gets weighed at 5 1/2 pounds & 21". Talking to the farmer he says that the fish had been in there for ~ 1 year longer than the 12" rainbow, and that if it had stayed for 1 more year it would have been around 9 pounds. I paid the farmer and left with the fish.
As strange as it feels to hunt after stocked trout, the experience can be more surreal.
Unfortunately this is Massachussetts.Its all put and take fishing.If they don't put em,you don't take em.Most ponds rise to the temperature of fish stew by august.I know some ponds do hold fish [Walden,White,and others].The stream fishing is about the same in this area.Though Walden sure has some monsters in it.It would be great to make just one deep pond around here catch and release.The only problem is you would need a 24 hour armed guard to keep out the poachers.I like wild fish much better,but this is the only game in town.
Juro I am looking at a 10w 14ft Sage spey blank.
Is it just me or does the dump 'em and dip 'em attitude bother anyone else?
There is good and bad, of course. Without it there would be no trout to speak of in most waters in most of the US and abroad. Without trout in these waters, there would be no kids to pass the love of trout fishing onto. Where there are less fish there are less fishermen and that's certainly not a good thing for humanity the way I see things. Those who become close to the outdoors are the only ones who will protect it for what it is. We need more people to shut off their beepers and breathe in the forest air.
But couldn't we manage the ponds and lakes to produce better fish than just pump them full of short-term ripple finned pellet hatchery pout, er I mean trout? Why must we design the fishery for rapid exploitation instead of managing our waters as good habitat for appropriate species?
What if trout were introduced at the tiniest survivable size to seed waters with fish that will grow to become it's wise inhabitants over time, isn't that better than depositing accelerated growth adults (3x faster than natural specimens) for immediate collection via dyed pheromone laced marshmallows?
I once had a discussion with a hatchery worker about steelhead. He said "steelhead, schmeelhead - I'll give you a bigger fish faster than mother nature can with this" holding up a scoop full of pellets. Yeah, OK.
I love trout, I even love the concept of trout as much as the trout themselves. Perhaps that's why I am not completely at peace with the methods by which we perpetuate put-and-take mentality across the country, around the world.
I hope I am not bursting anyone's bubble, that is sincerely how I feel about hatchery policies of today and thanks for letting me get it off my chest.
|I have seen the stocking trucks out twice in the last 4 days in north central Mass. Worcester Telegram lists local stocking in the Sports section on tuesdays and fridays.
Here is the MA State Wildlife website...
|Does anyone know when Mass Wild Life will start the fall stocking? Has it already begun?
