I found new figs yesterday at my local Wal-Mart in the Chicagoland area. I hit up one 20 min before close and they had just brought out the pallets. I saw the boxes that had "Best of the Best" on them and at first thought they were more legends figures (I haven't had much time to keep on case numbers and all that) and then I opened up the odd packaging and found all the new figs except the McRebel Trooper. Gree and 2-1B were pretty short packed only 2 out of all 5 boxes. I was only able to pull a McSnow trooper out of all 5 boxes as well. They let me keep one of the display boxes though. They kinda mess up the packages though. This morning when I stopped at other local Wal-Marts they had all these out but were pretty much all gone by 8 AMish. Still no McRebels, even when I arrived at open, someone must have beat me there the night before. Chicago can be a crappy place to live when you are looking for new figs.

I got the Commander Keller and Sep of the Twins comic packs from Walmart.com today. They sent both packs in an extremely large box that could've fit an entire case or more of the comic packs.
Do LA-area TRU still have the Y-wings? They are still available through the website but it would be easier to pick one up at a store if I can. Thanks.

Veterans History Project lets soldiers reveal the anger and pain that followed them homeNovember 9, 2013 11:59 PM
WASHINGTON — The journal reads like a dispassionate account of a soldier so accustomed to the atrocities of war that killing had become a tedious errand, but in oral history recorded four decades later, William Barner III revealed the long-term effects of battle, including displaced anger and post-traumatic stress disorder not diagnosed until 2009.
Mr. Barner's is just one of 90,000 accounts that are part of what has become one of the world's largest oral history projects. The stories and documents -- journals, letters home, photographs, memoirs and oral histories -- span the period from World War I to present. Veterans History Project at the Library of Congress has been collecting them since 2000, and anyone can contribute their information or their ancestors'.
"Shot up a large group of Viet Cong, then took a nap," reads one candid entry from the Vietnam War battlefield. Another: "Lt. Mathews shot himself in his leg. I did my laundry. I did not get any mail."
But in the cathartic oral history, recorded in October 2012, the Army cavalry veteran, revealed seething anger and lingering pain that followed him home from war.
In treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder in 2009, he mentioned the journal he hadn't looked at since 1968, and someone at the Veterans Administration suggested he revisit it. Reading it helped him come to terms with what happened, and eventually he shared his story with James Showers, a family friend who would come to record Mr. Barner's story for the Veterans History Project.
"During that interview, I felt for the first time in my life that America might care," Mr. Barner, 70, said Thursday in an emotional phone call from his home in Texas.
Interviewers find fulfillment in helping, too, said Mr. Showers, 72, a Texas lawyer who learned about the Veterans History Project through the Hill County Bar Association. He recorded two oral histories: Mr. Barner's and Nelson Galle's. Mr. Galle fought in World War II as part of a tank destroyer corps.
"It was very interesting to me to compare their experiences," Mr. Showers said. The interviews "provide a clear picture of the trauma experienced by those who served and the total lack of understanding and support when the veterans returned home."
During his, Mr. Barner spoke candidly about his lack of remorse when killings became so routine he stopped documenting them in his journal. Next came feelings of shame and only recently the idea that the killing might have been necessary to save Vietnamese children and fellow soldiers, who were often on the receiving end of rockets and mortar fire.
"I killed them all because they were going to kill all these kids and I had to keep the kids alive," he said Thursday. "I'm not ashamed any longer."
His is just one of many compelling accounts being preserved through the project, said Megan Harris, a reference specialist with the Library of Congress American Folklife Center, which manages the Veterans History Project.
The journals and oral histories can be especially revealing, she said. When historians rely on war correspondence, they often get a very limited and censored picture.
Mr. Barner can vouch for that.
In wartime letters to his wife, Sandy, he had described beautiful skies, tall trees and his love for her but never mentioned the mortar fire or the kill counts he recorded in his journal. He says he wanted to protect her from the things he saw.
Now he is sharing the most troubling parts of his life with anyone who cares to check out his journal at the Library of Congress. That includes an account of the day that scarred him the most: when he struck back against enemy fire emanating from a village.
"I eliminated I don't know how much of that village. I don't know how many children, women, pigs and horses I killed. It frightened me so much that one person could do that much damage. I thought no human being should have that much power," he said Thursday.
Until recently, he was ashamed for even his wife to know about that. Now he sees it as a small but important part of the nation's history and no longer wants to keep it to himself. The Veterans History Project is helping him share it.
"Now I've told my story and the Library of Congress has my story," he said. "It's going to be there as long as America exists."
Stories don't have to be as compelling or as dramatic as Mr. Barner's for the library to accept them, Ms. Harris said. Oral histories and documents are welcome from anyone who served in uniform no matter where they served or in what roles.
"Definitely, we want stories of combat, but we recognize that all veterans played important roles no matter what they did. If you served in uniform we want your stories," Ms. Harris said.
Bev Tripp has that on her mind after visiting the Library of Congress Wednesday for a gallery talk Ms. Harris led on the Medal of Honor. During her brief talk, Ms. Harris mentioned her work with the Veterans History Project, and that caught Mrs. Tripp's attention.
Her father, World War II veteran Reed Stormer Jr., a native of Oil City, died just two months ago at age 88. She wept Wednesday when she learned that she could honor him by sharing his war correspondence with the library, where it would be available to anyone who cared to read it.
"It would allow him to live on," said Mrs. Tripp, of Silver Spring, Md.
She wonders, though, whether her mother, who now lives in Chambersburg, would part with the letters.
Ms. Harris said she is touched by families' willingness to give up heirlooms, even though the gesture ensures the treasured documents will be carefully and painstakingly preserved in archival quality folders and binders and boxes.
For many families, the decision is difficult, she said, pointing out a leather-bound photo book that Air Force Gen. John Edwin Upston created during World War II for his son Johnny's 10th birthday in 1945.
"It's quite something for the family to give this to us because it's clearly a family heirloom," Ms. Harris said.
In storybook fashion, Gen. Upston used photos to tell a story about a journey from a military base through the streets of India to a village. Beneath each photo is a sentence or two scrawled in blue ink.
"One afternoon, while I was sitting on the porch thinking of Mommy and you, I glanced across the road. There, perched up in a palm tree was a small Indian boy. I walked out into the garden and stood for a very long time watching him and wishing you were with me," reads a caption beneath a photo of Mr. Upston, seated with a cigarette dangling from his hand. "Let's pretend that you are here with me and I'll take you on a tour of one of India's many villages. Get into the car and we'll go."
Subsequent pages show him traveling on by Jeep, bicycle and motorcycle to reach a rural village shop.
"Let's buy this fancy hat and be on our way," concludes the photo book, which the general mailed home along with the hat, his gift to his boy back in California.
Andrew Cassidy-Amstutz, the collection's archivist and a native of Hershey, said the format is creative and the content heartwarming. The book had been dropped off at the library in the spring and now it's Mr. Cassidy-Amstutz's job to preserve it. Already the pages are crumbling and some parts appear to be held together with masking tape.
The Upston family also supplied 586 other photos and hundreds of other documents including military orders and wartime correspondence. The project will accept only paper, audio and video submissions, not three-dimensional artifacts such as medals, uniforms or supplies.
The submissions are slowly being digitized and portions are already available online. For some documents, though, researchers have to make an appointment and visit the Library of Congress in Washington.
Anyone can submit materials. Much of it comes from history students and teenage boys working to become Eagle Scouts.
Curators are unable to fact-check the information, so it's possible that some accounts are embellished or misremembered. Factual accuracy isn't the point; it's to honor veterans' perceptions and memories of their own time in the service, Ms. Harris said.
"We consider ourselves a cultural or social project, not a military history project. We're less interested in the specific movements in the battlefield that people might be talking about and more interested in their memory of the experience," she said.
U.S. Rep. Ron Kind, D-Wis., conceived the project on Father's Day about 15 years ago when he was sitting at a picnic table with his father and uncle. The two started talking about their time in the service. Wanting to preserve the moment for his young children, the congressman hurried inside to get a video camera.
"I wanted my children to have it when they were old enough to appreciate it," he said. "Then I thought, 'We need to be doing this nationwide. We need to be sitting down with veterans and hearing about their lives,' " he recalled in an interview.
In 1999 he sponsored legislation to create the Veterans History Project.
Mr. Kind didn't stop there. He is also a project participant who has conducted dozens of videotaped interviews that are now part of the Library of Congress collection. His wife, a court reporter, has transcribed many of them.
"The common theme I found is that veterans never feel they did anything special or extraordinary," he said. "It's amazing some of the stories these veterans tell, but they don't think they did anything extraordinary."
It is gratifying, he said, that the project is nearing the milestone of 100,000 records.
"This is the veterans' link to immortality because it's perpetuated now for future generations," he said. "I can't think of a neater thing than having the great-great-great-grandson of a World War II veteran sitting in a history class being able to pop up on his computer screen the actual interview of his great-great-great-grandfather who served generations before."

Correction, posted Nov. 11, 2013: Reed Stormer Jr. died on Sept. 23.

Look, I am not disputing that the Falcons have drafted much better than the Dolphins since 2008, and yes, the QB pick was the main differentiator, but the teams were most assuredly not starting from similar situations. The Dolphins were going through their 4th regime change in a span of 4 years. With every regime change, players are churned out because they don't fit the same system. The Falcons had fired their coach the year before largely because they underachieved with what the FO perceived was good talent (that and the fact that Mora struck a wrong chord with the owner when he said the Washington gig was his dream job) So, while the Falcons were loaded with talent enough to compete for a Super Bowl just 3 years prior to the Dimitroff rebuild, the Dolphins were 3 years removed from the epic Wannstedtian failure and the botched Saban and Cameron regimes.
The situations weren't comparable. The cupboard was MUCH more bare for the Dolphins than for the Falcons.

Need some advice from E-Bay sellers
October 12, 2004, 04:11:17 PM »
I buy a ton of stuff on E-Bay, but I'd never sold anything before. I had picked up a copy of Valkyrie Profile and decided to see what I could get for it. Everything went fine until the auction closed.
A few details about the auction. I specifically listed the item as Paypal only and that I would ship to US addresses only (I was shipping it for free). I also specifically included something to the effect of "Ask any questions
you bid. Don't assume then ask after the auction", and said that I must receive payment within 24 hours of the auction close.
The auction ended at $56. The winner had zero feedback, which automatically raised some red flags. I sent him the standard E-Bay invoice, and also an e-mail saying "Congrats for winning, please send payment to...". Pretty standard stuff. I get an e-mail back from him (with his name in Japanese characters) stating that he can't pay with credit card, needs the item shipped to Japan, and wants to know how I will accomodate him. I told him that as per the auction details, he would need to pay via Paypal and provide a US address or I would not ship the product. Didn't hear from him, so I sent the e-mail again the following day. It's now the third day and I still haven't heard from him.
So, do I have to report this to E-Bay, or can I just relist the item? I'm selling the game because I really need the money (Mrs. Gratch just had major surgery), and don't want to wait the 90 days to go through E-Bay's Dispute procedure. But I don't want to get in trouble if I just re-list it without notifying them of the problem. How does that work? BTW, I don't mind eating the E-Bay charges since they're pretty minimal.
I also plan on giving negative feedback if I don't hear from him by tonight (not that it'll matter since he's a zero poster). That's not bad form, is it?

I would just re-list it. You are in the clear here - if he gripes, the worst that can happen is that you get a negative feedback.

Do you have the option to sell it to the 2nd highest bidder? I've done that before.
I'm always amazed at the sheer number of smacktards that inhabit ebay. One guy bought something from me, never responded to any emails. I went through the whole dispute process and ended up leaving negative feedback basically saying "Don't trade with this loser."
He had the nerve to report me to ebay and SquareTrade for calling him a loser. :twisted:

You stated the rules for the auction and he broke them. Relist it or look into selling it to the 2nd highest bidder.
Sounds like this turkey needs to have his account closed.

The Ebay system is becoming less and less seller friendly if you ask me.
People can negative feedback you for any reason under the sun and unless you go through that mediation stuff, you have no recourse except to respond to the negative feedback. I have been using the service since 2000 and my only negative is from this girl who got something I sent her damaged. The shipping carrier obviously did the damage, and she knew that, but gave me a negative anyway. Her item was even insured, but rather than file a claim she just gave me negative feedback instead. Ebay did nothing but offer to sell us some dispute resolution BS.
Nothing happens when people dont pay. Nothing that matters anyway. They dont even cancel those peoples accounts. Ridiculous. They go to great lengths to point out that bids are a binding contract...then nothing.
Its becoming more and more difficult to get fees credited back to you when people do not pay for their winning bids. You now have to go through an extra step to get them to refund you. One extra step not such a big deal right? True but it involves sending the winner another invoice type thing and giving them another 7 days to respond. That is regardless of how many official/unofficial communications you have had with them and regardless of how much time you have already given them.

This makes me nervous, I've been thinking about trying to sell my first item and I'm not really getting a warm, comfy feeling here. I just bought my very first item from eBay last month and I was really disappointed (basically it was a crappy VCD copy - not a DVD). He had over 125 positive feedbacks and no negative and I was getting ready to give him his first but we worked it out to where I was satisfied.
So now I'm wondering if it's worth the hassle to try and sell something and how to do it properly so you don't get screwed. There is so much information out there about protecting yourself and the correct way of selling that I just don't feel ready to do it yet. Maybe I should just jump in the deep end and see if I can swim?

That's what I'd do - just jump in. I'd start with small items though - so in the off chance that something *does* go wrong, it's not a big deal. I've sold hundreds of items over ebay, and very rarely had a problem. My only advice is to be *very* specific about your item, and what you are and are not willing to do (i.e. ship overseas, accept escrow, etc.)

Thanks for the tips guys. I've been reluctant to sell stuff becuase of the high percentage of either scammers or deadbeat bidders on E-Bay. If I didn't need the $$ so badly, I probably wouldn't have sold this game. It's especially frustrating for those of use who have a perfect buying record.
I'm going to give it one more day, then simply relist the item. If he can't be bothered to read the item description or answer an e-mail in 4 days, I'm not going to worry about him.
BTW, is there a way to prevent zero feedback posters from bidding? I know you can state it in the item description, but does E-Bay allow you to actually block their bids somehow? Stating things very clearly in the description obviously doesn't seem to make a difference for morons like this guy.
P.S. I should say that I've bought over 50 E-Bay items without any problems. It's only on this particular transaction that I've ever had difficulties.

People regularly state in their listings that they don't accept bids from zero feedback people. Do this, and when someone bids, you can cancel their bid.
I don't think there is a way to prevent a zero feedback person from bidding on an item. The only way I know of is to make it where everyone has to get preapproved by you to bid, and you don't want to do that or you'll probably never sell anything.
I have had a very positive experience on eBay over the past couple years, and have done over 500 transactions with only a handful of problems. I've even had some zero feedback people who have turned out to be some of the best people I've dealt with - you just never know.

Oh - another thought I had. For books/music/movies/games, I find that half.com is a much better option as long as you don't need to sell the items and/or get the cash immediately. The whole issue with feedback and deadbeat buyers is largely non-existent.

I've bought and sold stuff on Ebay. Deadbeat buyers are just a part of doing business there. It bothered me the first couple of times it happened, but now I just shrug it off. You get used to it.
I usually email the non-payers three times, follow up with one phone call, file the necessary information with Ebay so I get my fees credited back to me, and relist the item as soon as possible. I don't leave negative feedback with the buyer because it's too easy for them to slam me right back, and if Ebay enforces their stated system, a couple of non-payment violations should draw attention from Ebay. Whether Ebay does this or not is up to them. I subsequently put a block on any deadbeat buyer so they can't come back and bid on my subsequent auctions.
Although I feel some resposibility for notifying other sellers of the deadbeat's status, the results I've had from the phone calls seem to make me feel that I've let the non-payers know that there are real world implications for not paying for auctions they have won, and that they'll think twice about repeating the action. Most times I get a sense that the non-payers don't really get that stuff they do on the Internet is connected to the real world and real people. The phone call seems to wake them up to this.
I'd say that 75% of my sales have gone well, and 25% don't pay.
I'd second using Half.com as well. The fees are higher, but listing an item is cake, and I've never had a problem with a purchase/sale with them.

I was just going to post the same thing. If you have the time to wait, half.com is the shiznit:
-All you have to do is enter the UPC, and the product information is already in the system
-You can set the price you want
-You can leave the item on half.com FOREVER, at no charge. Ever had an eBay auction that didn't seem to get much action? With half.com, you set your price and just wait for the fish to bite (er... the buyer to click the link)
-Most important to me - half.com acts as the middle man. You ALWAYS get paid
The only downside is half.com takes more out of each sale than eBay - but I'm more than willing to pay a little more for the comfort of avoiding crap like the OP talks about...

Just to clarify a little bit, I have about 150 transactions there over the past 4 years. I have only had an issue with maybe 5 of them and I dont pre-screen by feedback. 1 undeserved negative feedback, 2-4 non paying winners, and then a handful of books that had their condition 'optimistically' described. So overall, with most things, the chances are very good you will have a good experience, I think.
I just had a deadbeat bidder recently though and the entire process rubbed me the wrong way. They really dont do anything to people who win and dont pay, and unless you know the system (which, despite my history I did not, I guess that is my fault) and do everything properly, they will not reimburse you for the listing fee.

I just had an aggrevating auction recently myself. I won an auction for a cd and promptly paid my money. I get an email about 30 minutes later that says my item was shipped (which was total garbage). About a week goes by and i haven't seen the cd so i email the seller and politely ask when the package was shipped. She replies with, "it should have shipped on xx, but it could take up to three weeks to arrrive.
So my respose to her was, #1. What does "should" mean? Was it shipped or not? #2. If it was shipped on the date you specified, that isn't the date your first email said it was shipped on. #3. Why the heck would it take three weeks for a cd to ship within the US? And naturally there was never any response to that email and sure enough it took 2 1/2 weeks to get the cd.
Now of course she had over 30k positive feedbacks so who knew? I think the system is broke. However, i'm not sure on how to fix it. I think alot of folks are not honest with their feedback and they feel bad not to leave negative or neutral feedbacks. I'm definitely not buying again from Ebay unless it's something i can't find in retail. I'll spend a few extra dollars from now on from a reputable store instead of the crap shoot ebay is turning into.

E-bay is a great place to sell stuff. Some items go for way more than you expect
However, never send anything off until it is paid for, and make sure you clearly state the condition of your items and any additional conditions of the sale.
You have to be very careful when buying stuff, particularly software. I'm not a heavy ebayer and I've already had many problems. I got burned out of $250AU when someone sold me a pirate version of Office XP. Another time I got an unboxed CD with no manual for a supposedly new computer game (the cd was legit though, but I had no CD-key so I had to use a no-cd crack after installing it). I've had 2 other bids for posters where they never sent me the item after I paid for it (the amounts I paid were neglible though). There's very little you can do when this happens - EBay dont even ban these people unless you complain vigorously. Its usually not worth the time and effort.
I also bought a laptop, which was in perfect working order but I suspected the guy had stolen it because of a missing label on the back of it.
These days I prefer the security of buying games through the stores and only use ebay for things like certain posters that I'd never be able to buy anywhere in Australia.

UPDATE: The guy finally e-mailed me back last night and said he's sending a cashier's check for the amount. I told him I'd give it 7 days to arrive, and the game would be relisted if it didn't. I doubt it'll ever show up, but we'll see...

Oberheim Four Voice
A big step forward after the initial Oberheim SEM and Two Voice synthesizers came from the bigger and better Four Voice. Four dual-oscillator SEM modules each with its own filters and envelopes are joined together along with a simple analog mixer and 49-note keyboard to give you a polyphonic/polytonal Obie-beast!
This combination gives you eight oscillators and four voices of polyphony because there are basically four discrete mono-synths all connected together. This has its pros and cons. What is cool is that this was a lot of simultaneous voices for the mid-seventies. And the ability to craft a different sound on each voice led to some diverse and complex sounds. However, it also meant you have to program each voice independently. Each voice also has its own independent audio output.
The Polyphonic Synthesizer Programmer, released in 1976 and added to the Four Voice stores 16 patches per voice (all of which can be different). The Four Voice could accommodate an additional four SEMs, making it just like the Eight Voice model which officially appeared in 1977.
Unfortunately the Four Voice was blown out of the competition by the release of the polyphonic Sequential Prophet-5, which offered true polyphony with a single set of sound shaping controls and comprehensive patch memory. The Four Voice has been used by 808 State, Depeche Mode, Styx, Pink Floyd, The Shamen, Gary Wright, Joe Zawinul and John Carpenter.

Laurier launches new technology initiatives for fall academic term
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Aug 26/10
Wilfrid Laurier University is launching three initiatives in preparation for the fall academic term: the myLearningSpace learning management system, a new student web mail service and a new myLaurier.ca student gateway.
On August 1, Laurier implemented myLearningSpace. The new learning management system is powered by Desire2Learn (D2L) to support the significant number of Laurier courses with an online component.
MyLearningSpace provides solutions that enable learning to take place inside and outside the classroom, says Tom Buckley, assistant vice-president: academic services. This system is designed to meet Lauriers teaching, learning and technology needs now and in the future.
MyLearningSpace is accessible through https://myLearningSpace.wlu.ca using Novell usernames and passwords.
Students and faculty alike will benefit from the ability to make course information and resources for students available online, says Sandy Hughes, director: teaching support services. Some courses use myLearningSpace for online quizzes, discussions, group work or electronic assignment submission.
MyLearningSpace replaces WebCT/ Blackboard, which had been used by the Laurier community since 1998.
Teaching Support Services is offering myLearningSpace orientation and training for faculty and staff from August 25 to September 10. Click here for details and to register.
myLaurier student webmail
The university will provide all Laurier students with official myLaurier webmail accounts, effective August 30.
MyLaurier student webmail is one component of the Google Apps for Education Edition, a suite of web applications used by many universities because it offers the benefits of Gmail, an improved calendar feature, document-sharing capabilities and a seven-gigabyte mailbox capacity.
Lauriers new webmail will allow the university to satisfy students desires for a more feature-rich and higher-capacity email system and address the universitys need for an externally hosted student email solution, identified in last years ICT review.
In addition to the benefits offered to students, myLaurier webmail will allow ITS to retire more than 34,000 student email accounts currently on GroupWise and free up system resources. This will improve GroupWise service for faculty and staff, says Tom Buckley, assistant vice-president: academic services. The move will also enable ITS to divert its resources from maintaining student GroupWise accounts to more critical initiatives.
Students will access their myLaurier webmail account using existing usernames and passwords, then follow instructions to migrate their GroupWise messages to their new myLaurier account. Students email addresses will change to firstname.lastname@example.com and will be the official email account the university uses to communicate with students.
The ITS helpdesk will host training sessions for students to learn about Google Apps functions (click here for schedules) and will provide answers to commonly asked questions at http://its.mylaurier.ca/faq. Ongoing technical support will be provided through firstname.lastname@example.com (Waterloo campus) and email@example.com (Brantford campus).
On August 30, Laurier will go live with a redesigned student web gateway: www.myLaurier.ca. Using their Novell username and password, students can log on to myLaurier.ca and access their myLaurier webmail account, their OneCard account, myLearningSpace, their academic records, class schedule and links to common Laurier sites all from one website!
This partnership between ITS, the Wilfrid Laurier University Student Union and Laurier Student Services allows us to provide students with easy access to the information they need most, says Fazil Rasheed, director of enterprise projects for Lauriers ICT renewal. Response from student testing has been extremely positive.
Kyle Walker, president and CEO of the Wilfrid Laurier University Students Union, is enthusiastic about the benefits the gateway will provide to students.
"These new tools will be beneficial to student academic success on our campuses and will allow students to be more organized and balanced overall," says Walker. The effort the ITS team put into reaching out to students to gather feedback about existing challenges was the drive behind these projects."
After the new student portal is launched, the Student Services information formerly accessed through myLaurier.ca will be accessible through either waterloo.mylaurier.ca or brantford.mylaurier.ca.

|Stripers and Coastal Gamefish Stripers, Blues, Inshore tuna!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Think about the 150# leader systems used on the GBFT, you know, the ones with the incredible eyesite! I'm coming full circle on tips and leaders, and going as heavy as I can tie and cast. I've been using 20# floro but I'm not convinced that it's necessary to do the floro routine. A certain friend of mine uses trilene 20# blue and catches a fair share of fish, even on the flats.
The quicker the better!
3 weight
Yes I do us the 3 weight in the surf. Most of the bass I catch in the surf are in the wash or just outside the wash and all I need is a short 30' cast any way. And if I hook a 36" fish, it's not a problem. Landed/released several blues and bass in this range this past week. The blues were invited home for dinner and they were happy to oblige...
|Dble Haul
|Just for clarity, are you saying that you land 36" fish in the surf with a seven foot, 3 weight rod? Or are you talking about a different rod later in the post?
an alternative point of view
This may sound odd, but I have found that I can use a very light weight rod (7' 3 weight, 5 wgt floaying line 6' of 20 lb mono as a leader) and still bring in large fish in very short order fishing from shore. As has been discussed here, if you point the rod at the fish, you can exert an incredible amount of pressure on the fish and it's easier to turn a fish by sweeping it sideways, parallel to the water. Here's what i do. I let the fish do one nice long run until he stops or can be gently turned, then I just reel him in. It's almost as though he doesn't think he's hooked anymore. In close to shore, I use the wave action to help bring him in to the wash. By using barbless hooks, the fish never leaves the water when I unhook and release it. Do I fish like this all the time? No. But it's nice to know that if that's the only rod in the car, and I see a pod of fish up close to the shore, that I can use it on 36"+ fish with confidence.
I generally use a 20# test leader and don't give an inch of line unless it is absolutely necessary. This generally enables me to bring the fish in pretty quickly, but then there's the problem of actually getting a hand on the fish. Once I have to start raising the rod tip or turning the rod sideways in order to get the fish within reach, that's when the trouble begins. I'm surprised that I haven't broken a rod yet with my clumsiness at the end of the battle.
One solution that I've found is to get the fish close and hold the rod in my left hand with the line clamped firmly against the grip. Then I try to take my camera out of my bag with my right hand and try to maneuver the fish into position so I can get a photo. The fish seldom cooperate and I usually have to steer them around for a little while as I try to compose the shot. By this time the fish usually comes off the hook and I don't have to go through the process of actually landing and unhooking the fish :hehe: . Sometimes I even manage to get a decent photo!
Water temp
Water temperature has a direct impact on C&R statistics. Get those summertime flats fish released ASAP.
I think it has to do with what your fishing background is. If your a trout fisherman who has just gotten into saltwater flyfishing your used to not putting to much pressure on the fish. If your a bassfisherman and fish tournments you would want to bring the fish in as quickly as you can. It all boils down to your style of fishing. The tackle and gear can handle most of the fish we catch unless you get real lucky an get a big cow which will break you off anyway.
|I recall Lefty Kreh say the time he was at Harry's at Nauset Anglers..that when you fight a big fish you should put side pressure on... as was mentioned in previous posts... the more you increase the angle in an up right position the less pressure you put on the fish and the longer it takes to get in... You would think the angle is the same with side pressure but for some reason the line is being levered with the reel more so.... since you are not really putting in a great bend when you use side pressure... you are not arching your back and in fact you can see the difference even if you TRY to put a greater bend with side pressure... you just never really can.
|Dble Haul
I'm bringing this one back to the top from about a year ago for two reasons:
First, the most recent issue of American Angler has an excellent piece from Art Scheck regarding this topic ("Put on the Pressure"). It touches on many of the bases covered here, in particular ROD ANGLE DURING THE FIGHT. Sideways does provide more leverage and pull because it shortens the effective lever for the fish to pull on.
Second, with the migration happening, it's timely and relevant. I reread the entire thing and feel refreshed with the info.
Your mileage may vary.
Maybe Adrian would volunteer to let us tie the leader to his belt and see if we can pull him out of the rip?
Was checking it out last night - it's a 14. Guess old age is getting to me.:hehe:
|Jeff...bring the 15 wt on the Rip Trip...love to cast it.
|One thing that I don't think has been mentioned is the importance of how one handles the fish when it is landed. I think this is much more important than how quickly it comes in or the equipment you are using. I am amazed at some of the guys on TV who will handle a fish with DRY HANDS and hold it in the air for five minutes. This is not good. The goal should be minimum handling, and minimum time out of water, if any. I try to not touch the fish, and grab the hook with forceps, one yank, and there they go. OF course I get into a conundrum when trying to take photos, which I must do, because otherwise no one would believe any of my fish stories.
As for diameter/strength differences between various weights of fluoro, I have two spools of Berkley Vanish: 20# and 12#. The 20# is only a little stiffer and larger in diameter than the 12#. I've never had any problems with weak knots, breakage or fraying with the 20# line except when bluefish are involved. A 5 turn improved clinch knot works fine. The 12# line is very unpredictable when it comes to tying knots. Improved clinch knots break very easily. Uni-knots work well if the knot tightens down just right, but any kinks and *snap*. I've also noticed that the 12# line starts to fray sometimes when I'm testing the knot strength. Little "curls" start to peel off of the previously unblemished line. Perhaps the 12# line has degraded due to age or light exposure, although I've had the 20# line for a year longer than the 12# line.
|I'm thinking it would be fun to bring the #15 on the Rip Trip and see if someone can hook up, not let any line out & back up the beach to land the fish....
Seems like most would agree that landing fish out of a boat in deeper water takes a lot more effort and heavy work due to a fish wanting dive to deeper depths. Only have caught albies from shore but I remember how hard it was in Hawaii to turn yellow fin from a boat when they dived deep.
This is a good thread and should make everyone who reads it start to think about what they can really do with equipment that is good working order. I think I agree with stiblue an 8 or 9 wt from shore should be able to land most stripers even up to 40 pounds if played right and a little luck. Just got to know where your breaking limit is and have quick reactions.
What is considered a fast release time for stripers. This summer while back your way landed a 41.5 inch striper in a little over 7 minutes on the 8wt gear I use for steelhead with 13.1 lb tippett. I really was able to put a lot of pressure on fish at times and keep his head coming towards shore. His runs were not that long and like most stripers very steady, even and slow as compared to a bonefish or even an albie. Was that around the average time for a striper that size to be brought in from a beach? Steelhead in the mid 30 inch range will come in in that time frame if you can keep them from tearing down river. I thought I was really working myself, rod and reel pretty hard but not sure, if that was too long, then next year will go with a 10 wt which will give me a little more ability to put more pressure on fish when I got him turned in the right direction.

Binghamton University to host 10th Don Quixote summer seminar
BINGHAMTON, NY – Lovers of Miguel de Cervantes' Don Quixote de al Mancha will get an opportunity to immerse themselves in the much-loved classic this summer during Binghamton University's 10th National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) summer scholars program.
Titled "Reading Don Quixote," the six-week NEH seminar will be led by Binghamton University Spanish professor and acclaimed Cervantes scholar, Salvador Fajardo, who will head up an intense reading and analysis of the classic work.
With class size kept deliberately small, participation in the seminar is by application only. And although geared toward full-time teachers, school administrators, school librarians, and individuals engaged in home schooling, Fajardo will consider requests from all Don Quixote fans. He will also 'hold' two slots for graduate students planning on pursuing K – 12 careers.
Participants selected for the seminar will be appointed as NEH Summer Scholars, which makes eligible for a stipend of up to $4,500. As a summer scholar, participants will be able to take advantage of a range of University facilities, such as housing, the library and the gym.
Supported by grants from the NEH, the seminar is in its 10th year.
For more information or to apply, contact Professor Fajardo at 607-777-4630 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Hey all, many of you will have comments about Pete in the coming weeks. Might be nice to organize them all in one spot here in one thread and send them along to his family to read. Your call of course!
Also, I came across this picture this morning and was wondering what he is playing here? Anyone know? Obviously a bass, but which one? Looks old...

It is still hard for me to believe he's gone, much less that 2 years have passed already. He will be forever missed. KIN <3
It has been awhile since I have been on this site and I thought what a better time to stop by and honor the late and great PEter STeele. He was a great guy! He always made time for the fans and I have had the privilege of meeting him many times when TON played in Toronto, Buffalo and Detroit. It was a shame when I heard that he passed and it really hit me hard because Peter and his music meant a lot to me. He was my "John Lennon". I still blast the music and wear the shirts and I also permanently care the TON symbol inked on my body. Peter, who are gone but definitely not forgotten. I hope that you have found peace and that you are rocking with the other greats that have passed.
Peter... We should be celebrating a new Type O Negative CD & tour. Not mourning its been 2 years since you left us! Do u know how loved you were? Thank you Sal and Derek for providing this forum for us =).
Forever in my heart,
Entangled with my soul.
Never will I leave you
Never will I forsake you.
My enslaving angel I am eternally yours...

It's Showtime To Found New Company
- Written by Dave Walsh
It seems like It's Showtime keeps growing and expanding, with 2011 being their breakout year. They've already put on a slew of great shows, with another coming up this weekend, but that wasn't their big news that Simon Rutz alluded to yesterday. Yesterday Rutz told people that this morning he'd make a big announcement, and it turns out the big announcement is that It's Showtime is in the process of working with a Swiss Investment bank to acquire funding to create another, possibly bigger company. This company will apparently not be in the Netherlands, but Rutz says will be great for kickboxing.
We are very proud to announce that IT'S SHOWTIME is at the point of signing the biggest financial deal ever to be made in the sport of kickboxing.
The new company which is to be founded from this collaboration will have its home ground in another country than The Netherlands. The next months will be used to decide the strategy that this company will follow. Details about this, not only for the kickboxing scene, megadeal will later be revealed during a press conference.
The reason to announce this deal already is the fact that several journalists already knew about these sensational developments, and also we thought that the combat sports fans deserved some positive news.
This deal will have only positive consequences, not only for IT'S SHOWTIME, but also for the fighters and the fans.

What's Unusual About Today's 'Dual-Use' Technologies?
Whether it's finding our way around with the help of a GPS, sending large files through e-mail, or flying across the country, we all benefit from technologies that were originally developed for military use. Our lives would be very different without inventions such as the Global Positioning System, network packeting, and the jet engine. These "dual-use" technologies have proven to be winners in both military and commercial contexts—they help us to fight better and live better. As we look to the future, we will undoubtedly see many more of these technologies emerge. The predominant path for their development, however, is changing in a profound way.

2012 Receiving Yards
Brian Hartline 74 Catches 1,083 Yards 14.6 Avg 1 Touchdown
Calvin Johnson 122 catches 1,964 Yards 16.1 Avg 5 Touchdowns
In no way am I saying that Hartline is on the same level as Megatron. I remember Hartline being wide open and having the ball under or over thrown to him several times. If Tanny completes a couple of those , the touchdowns would be about the same. Take into account how many times the Lions passed the ball and Tanny being a rookie. Also look at Lions offense vs Dolphins. Hartline missed a lot of TC also. I say Pay him 5 Mil/Year and sign Wallace or Jennings. Add a Good TE and our offense would be greatly improved

Well I found out that he liked Coffee with Sugar when loading up to go Duck Hunting. I have an SUV and the back gate was up. I had my coffee in the Cup Holster. I walk inside to grab something and lock the door and when I walk back outside I see him in between the driver and passenger seat head down. As I get closer he looks up with coffee all over his mouth.
Now instead of bolting out the vehicle, he attempts to DRINK IT ALL before I can get within arm's reach of him! I had coffee everywhere lol
So now I'm careful where I set it down.

Article [I.]
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Some things that I have not seen on any of these threads....
How much should "the rich" pay? Pick a number.
Assuming that number becomes law, how much additional tax revenue would be generated?
Assuming that we now borrow $.40 of every dollar spent, would the additional revenue be enough to close that gap to 0?
If not 0, what is plan B for getting it to 0?
I don't know that taxing "the rich" would have much of an impact on our budget problem. Is it just a class warfare feel good game, or would it really have a material impact on the budget?
I haven't heard ANY proposals from the left for any material spending cuts. Again, if you get your way and "the rich" are taxed at higher rates, where do we go if it is still not enough to close the budget gap?

You may remember several months ago when I asked if anyone had a code for accessing the Naboo Starfighter on the PC version of Rogue Squadron. I had just purchased the most recent version of the game at Costco and could view the ship in the hangar but not select it.
Just a few days ago, I wanted to play this game again and set up a new ID to do so. I named the character Corran Horn (after the character from the Rogue Squadron novels), and I'm not sure if that had anything to do with what happened next. I entered the codes for stage select, the Falcon, and TIE Interceptor and then, as a lark, tried to select the Naboo Starfighter. To my surprise, it began to take off.
This ship is--just from my own observation--as fast as an A-Wing, with the handling of an X-Wing. And I don't know if it was just my excitement, but the weapons seemed easier to aim.

New Pope Decides to Melt All the Gold in Vatican: Promises to Distribute to Poor Women Who Haven't Had Abortions
Original post made by Chris, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Mar 14, 2013
Bergoglio's reputation for personal simplicity also exercised an undeniable appeal – a Prince of the Church who chose to live in a simple apartment rather than the archbishop's palace, who gave up his chauffeured limousine in favor of taking the bus to work, and who cooked his own meals.
Now, earlier today, he announced that he intended to have all the gold in the Vatican melted down and distributed among poor heterosexual women in the Church who have heterosexual children and have never had abortions.
Some expressed concern that the Vatican, without its gold, is like Van Gogh's "Sunflowers" in black and white. "Is there a single material item in the Vatican that is not forged out of gold?" asked one dumbfounded worshipper? And ask another: "Where will all the poor people's donations to the Church go if not toward gold and sexual predation lawsuits?"

Mr. Timmerman was a great Argentine patriot and freedom fighter. He was tortured by the Argentine military during the Dirty War.
Bergoglio (Pope Francis I), kept his mouth shut and publicly sided with the generals. This resulted in the torture and murder of thousands of Jews in Argentina.

Princeton Atelier showcases work by New Paradise Laboratories, Riot Group
The Princeton Atelier will present staged readings of new work by New Paradise Laboratories in collaboration with the Riot Group on Friday and Saturday, Jan. 8-9, in the Frist Campus Center theater.
The reading of "Freedom Club" will begin at 7 p.m. and the reading of "F@#k Computers" will begin at 9:30 p.m. New Paradise Laboratories is a Philadelphia-based experimental theater group. The Riot Group is an ensemble that has produced original theatrical works throughout the United States and Europe.
"Freedom Club" is a theatrical hallucination on national themes in which past and future collide. It moves from a schizophrenic dream-play involving Abraham Lincoln and actor John Wilkes Booth to Virginia in 2012, where a dwindling activist theater company tries to get more radical. The piece will be presented in rough draft form as a staged reading.
The second reading, "F@#k Computers," is an excerpt of a work in progress created with Princeton Atelier students combining original music, video and live performance that raises questions about whether this production is a strange terrorist action in a future war, a lecture-demonstration of android technology, a robot slave sale or a pitch for a new movie. "F@#k Computers" eventually will find form as a performance of New Paradise Laboratories and the Riot Group.
Founded in 1994 by Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison and now directed by distinguished poet Paul Muldoon, the Howard G.B. Clark '21 Professor in the Humanities and chair of the Lewis Center for the Arts, the Princeton Atelier brings professional artists to campus for intensive collaborative work with students and faculty. Atelier artists select a project they want to explore and experiment in the company of students before developing it for the professional arts community.
"This is an amazing program that not only provides a venue for artists to create new work but for students to come into contact with experimentalists," said Whit MacLaughlin, artistic director of New Paradise Laboratories. "We came in wanting to accomplish one project and we are walking out with two, one which we had paved the way for several years ago and the second, completely new, created with the Princeton students."
Adriano Shaplin, artistic director of the Riot Group, said, "It has been an enormously productive semester. The Riot Group and New Paradise Laboratories have been hallucinating the past, tangling with the legacy of the American Civil War and asking ourselves 'What is history?' while devising a companion piece in which we hallucinate the future with Princeton students. As researchers, thinkers and creators our students set the bar very high. Whit and I were energized by their fierce intelligence, and we challenged ourselves to create a play with and through them that would refract our work with our respective ensembles. Essentially we've been making a sequel to an unfinished play, and both pieces are now tumbling toward completion, feeding off each other and echoing each other in fascinating ways. The Atelier made this incredible collaboration possible, and we're thrilled to share the results with everyone."
The performance is supported by the Newhouse Foundation, Peter T. Joseph Foundation, the Erik C. Blachford '89 Fund and the Jordan Roth '97 Performance Fund.
The readings are free and do not require tickets. More information about the project, including a video, can be found on the Princeton Atelier website.

Family: Talpidae, Moles view all from this family
Description Smallest of the moles, with a short thick tail. Not as well adapted for life underground as other moles, but still mole-like with no external ears, reduced eyes, and slightly broadened forepaws. Forepaws larger than in any shrews. Some of the hairs are longer and coarser than others, making them less velvety looking than other moles. Color ranges from gray to black.
Dimensions 92-132mm, 12-19mm, 9-11g
Habitat Forests & woodlands, Swamps, marshes & bogs, Lakes, ponds, rivers & streams, Scrub, shrub & brushlands
Range California, Northwest, Western Canada
Discussion Active both day and night, it spends more time above ground than other moles, and frequently makes tunnels through the leaf litter rather than completely underground. Ranges in elevation from sea level to 2500m. Prefers areas with heavy leaf litter, or abundant shrub or bunchgrass cover.

Wallace residents need to be bear aware
WALLACE, Idaho - People in Wallace need to be bear aware as a black bear and her two cubs have been spotted looking for food in the area.
Chloe Buchanan looked out her window earlier this week to find a police officer in her backyard.
"She was shining a light back there and thought someone was in our yard," Buchanan said.Bear aware vo
It wasn't someone. It was something. A mama bear and her two cubs rummaged through their garbage cans, left a trail of garbage heading up the hill and apparently settled in near a pine tree just 20 feet from Buchanan's house.
"I saw their eyes being reflected off that light," Buchanan said.
It's not the only place bears were spotted; another person down the street saw a black bear sitting by a tree in-between two houses. It's not unusual to see bears in the Silver Valley; they rely on berries for food, but this year there was an early huckleberry crop.
"So they're probably still trying to put on some fat before right before they go into the den," Mark Bowen with Idaho Fish and Game said.
Now that this bear family has been spotted, the Shoshone County Sheriff is asking people to take precautions, including keeping garbage cans inside, unless it's pick up day, keep an eye on your pets, remove bird feeders and even BBQ grills.
"Bears are really reliant on their noses," Bowen explained.
Bears are just like people, their personalities change animal to animal. Fish and Game said typically they are scared of people, but you don't want to run into the wrong one. If you see a bear near your house, get inside or somewhere safe and don't approach them.

Home>Collection>A Lady Writing a Letter, with her Maid, c.1670>Woman Reading a Letter
Oil on wood, 52.2 x 40.2 cmPresented, Sir Alfred and Lady Beit, 1987 (Beit Collection) NGI.4537
A woman sits on a wooden zoldertje platform in a marble-floored hall and reads the letter that we see being written in the pendant painting (NGI.4536). The favourite curl on her plucked forehead shows that she is engaged. One senses disorder in a calm domestic world. She has stopped sewing and dropped her thimble. The cast-off shoe has erotic connotations, while the mirror in a sober ebony frame is a warning of vanity and against lasciviousness. The excited spaniel, normally a symbol of domestic fidelity, has become a reminder of the lover. A curious servant, who has another letter to deliver on her way to market, holds a bucket decorated by Cupid's arrows and draws back the protective curtain over a stormy seascape. This was a frequent metaphor for the trials of love and the hazards of separating and meeting.
Metsu may have trained with Gerrit Dou, but his brushwork is always freer and his sources more numerous, with a memorable feel for textures and colours.

Box Jellyfish (Chironex Fleckeri) venom?
I'm writing on a project about the box jellyfish; Chironex Fleckeri. About its venom and how this venom is affecting the human body biological and chemical. But I have a problem. My porblem is that I don't know the chemical name for Chironex Fleckeri's venom. I have found alot of other informations, but not the name, which is really relevant compared to the project, so please any one give me an answer about what the chemical name is??

Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.
A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.
Part of the problem with your question is that venom's aren't chemicals. They're compounds. neurotoxins compounds in this case.
If you have a research library near by, here are two citations for you.
You could do an Inter Library Loan request for copies of the articles, through your local library. Note the dates. Not all that much has changed unfortunately.
Othman I, Burnett JW. Techniques applicable for the purifying of Chironex fleckeri (box-jellyfish) venom. Toxicon 1990; 28: 821-835.
Freeman SE. Actions of Chironex fleckeri toxins on cardiac transmembrane potentials. Toxicon 1974; 12: 395-404.
There is a more recent article, from 2007.
Here is a quote from it. I'm not writing your paper for you. ;-)
"only two of a number of toxins in C. fleckeri venom have been successfully isolated and sequenced (Brinkman & Burnell, 2007)."
And, while I do happen to work in a research library, I found the Brinkman & Burnell reference in a thirty second Google search.

Betty Crocker Baking for Today cookbook shares a recipe! Rise to an occasion with a yeast bread that is anything but slow! Kids will love learning to make bread using this fun recipe.
Make other animal breads by shaping dough into alligator, bear, cow, dog, ladybug or others. Cover and let rise in warm place 20 minutes. Cut an X in dough for eyes, buttons, nose, etc., using kitchen scissors. Bake as directed. For a shiny surface, brush baked bread with softened butter or margarine. Cool bread; decorate with raisins, currants, chocolate chips, etc., by attaching with a drop of honey.
Regular active dry yeast can be substituted for quick active dry yeast. In large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water (105°F to 115°F). Stir in sugar, salt, warmed milk, melted butter and 1 1/2 cups of the flour. Stir in egg. Stir in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle. Continue as directed.
You can refrigerate this dough for up to 24 hours. Here's how: Grease large bowl with shortening or spray with cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, turning dough to grease all sides. Cover tightly with plastic wrap; refrigerate. For easier shaping, let dough stand at room temperature at least 20 minutes.

IDF estimates that one person loses a limb to diabetes every 20 seconds. Now a new multi-stakeholder initiative has been launched by the Federation, aimed at improving foot care for people with diabetes in sub-Saharan Africa. The Diabetes Africa Foot Initiative (DAFI) [2] will develop a sustainable foot-screening programme. Dr Evariste Bouenizabila and Dr Silver Bahendeka, Co-Chairs of the project, outline DAFI in more detail.
Complications on the increase
The Africa region is experiencing a dramatic rise in the number of people with diabetes. The undiagnosed rates in particular have skyrocketed and IDF estimates that up to 80% of people in the region with diabetes remain undiagnosed.
Unfortunately the increase in diabetes is accompanied by the increase in deadly diabetes complications such as diabetic foot. Despite current efforts to reduce the number of those affected, the impact in lowering foot complications has remained small.
A vision for sustainable foot care
The DAFI programme will strive to lower the rates of lower extremity amputations in the whole of sub-Saharan Africa. Ultimately we hope to develop a comprehensive, affordable and sustainable foot risk stratification model combined with an early intervention strategy.
Responses to the project so far have been positive and we hope this will continue throughout the region.
Taking language and culture into account
DAFI recognises the cultural and socio-economic diversity of the Africa Region and is designed to accommodate other existing foot care projects within the region, without duplication.
The selection of the countries was based on those countries willing to partner with IDF and its partners, but more importantly those centres that had local champions in diabetic foot management. Ten countries in total have been selected, split evenly between English- and French-speaking countries.
Other criteria included being associated with an IDF member association, being an established diabetes clinic, having the support of the Ministry of Health and the ability to engage the local community in a diabetes care programme. More countries will be added to the project as the tools are refined and training targets achieved.
DAFI is a multi-stakeholder initiative led by IDF. Project partners include IDF Africa Region, the University of Johannesburg, Université Senghor, Université Numérique Francophone Mondial and Sanofi Diabetes.

Participants sought for heart health screening for women
The Women's Health Care Partnership at Binghamton University is recruiting women ages 45-65, who live in the Walton area for a study on heart health. Women are invited to attend a free health screening to see if they qualify to participate in the study. The screening will be held from 9-5 p.m. Saturday, September 9, at Delaware Valley Hospital.
Participants will develop a better understanding of heart health risks, which may reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke.
To learn more or to make an appointment call the nurse research team Heart Line at 1-866-330-1687.
The Promoting Heart Health in Rural Women Study is funded in part by the National Institutes of Health.

Lawyers think in doctrinal terms; journalists write narratives.
Our approach to teaching will develop legal topics by using case narratives. What follows a list of tentative topics to be explored through narrative.
Constitutional Law
The federal system; the constitutional role of the judiciary; key constitutional rights; and how the third branch functions.
Criminal Law
Key criminal law concepts; the role of the prosecutor and grand jury; procedural protections afforded criminal defendants; important differences between civil and criminal law.
Civil Law
An introduction to civil law; the role of lawyers, judges and juries in deciding conflicts; the role of the civil justice system; why litigation and lawsuits are controversial.
Breakout Sessions
The JLS features over a dozen small group sessions on specialized topics suggested by Fellows. Past topics have included disability rights, juvenile law, evidence, trial tactics, intellectual property, habeas corpus and election law.
Fellows will learn:
- Why the Supreme Court is not the final word on most legal questions.
- The 10 most common misunderstandings about the legal system.
- Why legal "technicalities" can be a matter of life or death.

One dies after two duck hunters rescued from Medicine Lake
MEDIMONT, Idaho - The Kootenai County sheriff's office says two hypothermic duck hunters were rescued after a passing driver saw them clinging to their capsized boat in Medicine Lake.
Sheriff Rocky Watson says the passer-by called 911 on Wednesday and also flagged down an Idaho Fish and Game officer. Two Game Department officers launched their airboat into the lake and picked up the men.
Watson says one of the men shifted his weight in the boat after they retrieved a duck. That caused the 10-foot boat to list to one side and fill with water.
The sheriff says 52-year-old Dwayne Knapton of Osburn, Idaho, was flown to a Coeur d'Alene hospital where he was initially listed in critical condition. The sheriff's office reported Thursday that despite attempts by medical personnel to revive him, he succumbed to his hypothermic injuries.
The second man, 51-year-old Michael Jensen of Pinehurst, was treated at the scene and released.
The men had been in the 40-degree water for 30 to 45 minutes before they were rescued.
The sheriff says they had life jackets on board but were not wearing them.
