WASHINGTON — Junk food and sugary drinks will be pulled from schools next year as part of a nutritional overhaul aimed at improving child health and tackling obesity.
The "Smart Snacks in School" standards released Thursday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture takes such options as full-fat chocolate cookies, fruit snacks and candy bars offered at lunch and in vending machines, replacing them with healthier foods such as peanuts, light popcorn and fruit cups. Elementary and middle school children can drink water, milk and juice, while high school students also will be offered beverages with 60 calories or fewer in a 12-ounce serving.
The snack rules, which had been proposed in February, take effect in July 2014, giving schools and suppliers time to adjust to requirements that promote foods high in whole grains, dairy, fruits and vegetables, the USDA said. The guidelines don't apply to foods sold after school or brought from home. Bake sales, fundraisers and sweet treats at parties are still allowed.
"It's important to teach children healthy eating habits that will affect their health throughout their lives," said Margo Wootan, the nutrition policy director at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a Washington-based consumer advocacy group, who has worked on the issue for more than 15 years. "It doesn't make sense for schools to teach nutrition in the classroom, then counter it by selling sugary drinks and candy bars in vending machines in the hallway."
The snack rules build on the revamped nutritional standards for school lunches and breakfasts enacted about a year ago. The agency reviewed almost 250,000 comments from teachers, students, and health and industry officials stemming from the proposal.
"Parents and schools work hard to give our youngsters the opportunity to grow up healthy and strong, and providing healthy options throughout school cafeterias, vending machines, and snack bars will support their great efforts," Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said in a statement.

The Dodd-Frank Act became law in July 2010, establishing the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) as a major new energy regulator. Energy companies that transact in energy commodities must reassess their practices because CFTC rules will affect hedging, risk management, and derivatives transacting activities.
Overlapping regulatory agency requirements will be a challenge. Not all new rules are final. Title VII of Dodd-Frank deals with over-the-counter derivatives, and will likely have the most significant effects for energy trading firms. Those entities categorized as a swap dealer or major swap participant will face new capital, margin, and reporting requirements, as well as increased regulatory scrutiny. Those companies not categorized as a swap dealer or major swap participant, but who transact in swaps, will also face increased obligations including position limits, end-user exception reporting, and potentially increased record keeping and reporting. Compliance will require planning and assessment of current capabilities as well as new or modified processes, systems, and tools. As rules become final and deadlines start to arrive, energy company management attention should address these new obligations.

The question, the one he's been hearing for months, is a logical one: Will he be back in Yankee pinstripes in 2004?
Pettitte, who becomes a free agent this offseason, shut that question down almost as quickly as it was asked. In the wake of the Marlins' 2-0 win that allowed the National League Wild Card winners to dance in celebration on the Yankees' field, he had other things on his mind.
Pettitte said he felt sick because the Yankees didn't reach their goal and he didn't do his job in Game 6, although that was quite debatable by his teammates.
The veteran left-hander has stood up to all kinds of big-game pressure throughout his career and especially throughout this postseason, and a huge challenge was asked of him Saturday night.
Pettitte had to stave off elimination by outpitching Beckett, the 23-year-old right-hander who had become the hottest hurler in October.
He responded with a great game by most people's standards: seven innings, two runs, one of which was unearned, and seven strikeouts. A victory on most nights, but not when Beckett shut out the Yankees on five hits.
"Andy went out there and pitched his heart out," Bernie Williams said, summing up the opinions of practically every Yankee asked. "He couldn't pitch any better."
Pettitte disagreed, pointing to the pivotal fifth and sixth innings.
In the first four frames, Pettitte lived up to all the billing of a go-to pitcher.
Pettitte breezed through the Marlins, scattering a Pudge Rodriguez single in the first inning and a Mike Lowell double in the second but otherwise commanding every part of the strike zone.
He rung up Luis Castillo on strikes in the first, struck out two batters to finish off the second, then struck out Miguel Cabrera in the fourth.
While Beckett was busy setting down the Yankees in quick, decisive fashion, Pettitte held his own.
That is, until the fifth and sixth.
Pettitte threw only 49 pitches through the first four frames but uncorked 50 in the next two.
In the fifth, he struck out leadoff hitter Derrek Lee and got Juan Encarnacion on a groundout to third base, but after getting Alex Gonzalez down 0-and-2, Gonzalez fought off a few pitches before blooping a single to center.
Juan Pierre followed with a single to center before Castillo broke a slump with an RBI single to right that gave Florida a 1-0 lead.
After walking Rodriguez intentionally to load the bases, Pettitte worked the Stadium crowd into a frenzy by blowing away Cabrera for the third out.
But the momentum didn't carry over into the sixth inning, when a throwing error by Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter put leadoff hitter Jeff Conine on base. Pettitte walked Lowell and then made his biggest mistake of the game.
Lee dropped a sacrifice bunt and Pettitte elected to get Lowell at second instead of nailing Conine at third.
That set up Encarnacion for a routine sacrifice fly to center, giving the Marlins a 2-0 lead that looked -- and sounded -- like a bigger margin in a quieted Stadium with Beckett still in control of the New York lineup.
"(Catcher) Jorge (Posada) said he was telling me to go to third, but I never heard him," Pettitte said. "I wasn't sure I could get him at third, but I knew I could get Lowell because I had plenty of time."
"The bottom line is that when D.J. made that error, it's my job to pick him up. And after the bunt, I'm facing one of the freest swingers in the National League. I've got to make a better pitch than the one I made."
If Pettitte sounded like he was being a little hard on himself, his manager, Joe Torre, put it into some perspective.
"Andy pitched great," Torre said. "Josh Beckett was unbelievably great. And you know, they certainly deserve to be world champs."
Beckett's effort on three days' rest seemed to overshadow every other rudiment of the game, a fact Pettitte cited, saying he felt like he had to be perfect.
"I knew that if I gave up a run or two runs, we'd be in trouble," Pettitte said. "But I still felt we'd pull off some late-inning magic like we always do. It just didn't happen."
And what if Pettitte's future with the New York Yankees just doesn't happen?
"I can't answer that," he said for about the 478th time.
"I just want to get home and get over this."

AUGUSTA — Republican Gov. Paul LePage said expanding the state's Medicaid program, MaineCare, would mostly benefit younger men who smoke and drink heavily.
Pointing to a newly released study in the Annals of Family Medicine, LePage said expanding the state's health care program for poor to include more single adults would only hurt elderly Mainers already on waiting lists for medical help.
"This study illustrates why we oppose a very costly Medicaid expansion," LePage said in a prepared statement Monday. "This expansion of welfare would provide services to a younger population, while depleting scarce resources that are critical to care for those who desperately need assistance. We must ensure our neediest Mainers, the elderly and disabled, are put at the front of the line."
LePage also said he wanted the public to understand the expansion proposed under the Federal Affordable Care Act and largely supported by Democrats in the Legislature is for Medicaid programs and not Medicare programs.
LePage also pointed to an analysis by the Maine Department of Health and Human Services that shows the expansion would cost "Maine millions of taxpayer dollars in the short term and $150 million each budget in just a few years."
As proposed under the ACA, the program expansion would be paid for by the federal government at 100 percent for the first three years but then gradually ratcheted down to 90 percent over time.
The study's conclusions also seem to counter LePage's concern noting, "physicians can anticipate a potentially eligible Medicaid population with equal if not better current health status and lower prevalence of obesity and depression than current Medicaid beneficiaries . . . "
"Given the higher prevalence of tobacco smoking and alcohol use, however, broad enrollment and engagement of this potentially eligible population is needed to address their higher prevalence of modifiable risk factors for future chronic disease," the study states.
Democrats have also said the proposed expansion, which would add an estimated 70,000 to the state's MaineCare rolls, includes 3,000 Maine veterans who have no health insurance and are ineligible for federal Veterans Administration health benefits.
"Gov. LePage is spreading misinformation about a common sense bill to make it easier for more Maine families to see a family doctor when they are sick," said Speaker of the House Mark Eves, D-North Berwick. "The truth is that tens of thousands of hard-working Mainers who work as cashiers at our grocery and hardware stores, take care of seniors, and nearly 3,000 veterans will benefit from health care expansion."
Republican House Minority Leader Ken Fredette of Newport joined LePage in holding the study up as more proof an expansion of MaineCare would only end up costing state taxpayers more while further denying resources to the neediest Mainers.
"When Democrats expanded Medicaid over the years, they created a crisis where we saw massive budget shortfalls, a huge debt to our hospitals, and our disabled and elderly sitting on wait lists so that droves of younger people could get free medical welfare," Fredette said. "Medicaid has doubled as a share of the state budget in just the past 15 years and that's not sustainable."
Rep. Deborah Sanderson, R-Chelsea, attempted to amend a bill that would have expanded Medicaid to childless adults in 2013. Sanderson's amendment would have required the state provide services to the disabled and elderly on the current wait lists before expanding MaineCare to childless adults.
The amendment would have cost the state about $75 million a year and was defeated in the House of Representatives. LePage ultimately vetoed a 2013 bill that would have expanded MaineCare and that veto was sustained.
Mitchell Stein, the policy director for the Maine-based Consumers for Affordable Health Care, said LePage picked only one part of the a lengthy study to focus on.
"It seems like the press release is very selective in describing the study's results," Stein said. He also noted that an overriding theme of the ACA is on preventing illness and disease and the study's findings support that as well.
He said getting younger people, even those who drink and smoke, access to health care will be less expensive than caring for them when they are older and with chronic illnesses that could have been prevented.
"It's cheaper to keep people healthy than to wait for them to get sick and then try to cure them," Stein said. "Access to these services is what these folks need to prevent high health care costs to themselves and society down the line."
State Senate President Justin Alfond, D-Portland, also weighed in on LePage's statements Monday.
"It is clear that the governor does not want Mainers who work and are still poor to have the opportunity to see a doctor when they are sick," Alfond said. "It is time the governor stop using misinformation and fear to pit Mainers against each other and join what doctors, hospitals, the business community, and many others know is the right economic and moral thing to do — expand health care to more Maine families."

Florida manager Jack McKeon tabbed the Houston right-hander and six-time Cy Young Award winner to be the National League starter in Tuesday night's Midsummer Classic at Minute Maid Park, the first in Houston since 1986.
"I'm really looking forward to it," Clemens said Monday. "Obviously it's a great honor to be selected. I'm excited for the other players that are here and I'm excited for our city."
Clemens, 10-3 with a 2.62 ERA, pitched Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Though he isn't certain how long he'll go in the All-Star Game, he insists he'll be ready despite the short rest.
"You usually throw between starts," Clemens said. "It's not like they're needing me to go seven [innings]. I'll be fine."
Starters can go a maxium of three innings. With so many other talented starters on the NL roster, including Arizona's Randy Johnson, San Francisco's Jason Schmidt, Tom Glavine of the New York Mets and Carlos Zambrano of the Chicago Cubs, it is doubtful Clemens would be asked to go more than an inning or two.
"Whatever Jack wants," Clemens said. "He'll do whatever it takes to put us in the best postion to win the game, I'm sure."
Clemens, who turns 42 on Aug. 4, will be making his 10th All-Star appearance and perhaps his last, although the Future Hall of Famer said he has made no decision on retirement.
"There's more than just playing this game here tomorrow night," he said. "For me, there's a lot going on here in my home state, and it's pretty exciting for me and my family and my extended family. We feel real giddy about this whole event. They've kept me busy.
"We're going to make the most of it. Once I walk off the field tomorrow, my day is certainly not done -- there's a lot of other things I need to do."
Clemens also started and was the winning pitcher in the last All-Star Game played in Houston. He went three perfect innings and was named the Most Valuable Player of the 1986 game at the Astrodome.
"My first one in the Astrodome went by so fast," Clemens said. "I see the clips -- obviously I was a lot younger. You see all the great players in the clubhouse and you're wide-eyed. [Now] you're able to to kick back and enjoy what's going on."
Clemens also enjoys seeing his old friend Joe Torre, who managed the pitcher during his five-year tenure with the New York Yankees.
"I still feel very close to him; however, that doesn't keep me from wanting to beat his brains out in the game tomorrow night," Torre said.

As entertaining as his backflips are, Edwards will probably always be remembered best for this flip:
As entertaining as his backflips are, Edwards will probably always be remembered best for this flip:
This spectacular accident occured on the last lap of the Aaron's 499 at Talladega in 2009. A few spectators were injured by flying debris, but Edwards was not hurt. In fact, he climbed out the smoking heap and sprinted to the finish line as the theme from Chariots of Fire played over the public address system.
Edwards had his best year in 2008 with 9 wins, bringing his career total to 16. That's nine backflips in one season – Edwards certainly has never complained about his back hurting.
Aside from his awesome performances on race day, Edwards is into some pretty cool stuff. He's good friends with WWE star John Cena…
… and he appeared on the hit FOX show "24" as Homeland Security agent Jim Hill. He has started his own record label, Back 40 Records, with an old high school buddy. He's first cousin once removed to fellow driver Ken Schrader, which is how he got his "Cousin Carl" nickname. Edwards also is the only driver to appear shirtless on the cover of ESPN Magazine.
Ahem… not that we're into that or anything, but it's pretty cool when you consider that Edwards participates in a sport where drivers used to smoke cigarettes during caution laps and needed detachable steering wheels because their bellies got in the way.
Yes sir… having the physique of a welder doesn't cut it anymore thanks to the example set by Cousin Carl.
Edwards lived the Days of Thunder dream and married Dr. Katherine Downey on Jan. 3, 2009. Yes, she is an actual doctor, specializing in physical rehabilitation. What a cute couple … sort of. Dr. Downey is nothing short of stunning, but Edwards looks like he just walked off the set of Andy Griffith. Before becoming involved with Dr. Downey, Edwards dated former Olympic swimmer Amanda Beard.
And finally, we have to give a nod to Carl Edwards' hot mom, a lady who gives Kasey Kahne's hot mom a run for her money. Carl's mom has got it goin' on.

Grouper, Yellowedge
Yellowedge Grouper are found and commercially fished in the western Atlantic from North Carolina to Brazil, including the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. They are a long-lived, slow growing species that changes sex (from females to males) as they grow; these characteristics make them extremely vulnerable to fishing pressure.
Abundance of Yellowedge Grouper is low throughout much of its range, including in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean. In the U.S. South Atlantic, the current abundance of Yellowedge Grouper is not known. In the U.S., management measures include gear restrictions, some seasonal and area closures, and catch limits. Outside the U.S. management is lacking.
Yellowedge Grouper are primarily captured using bottom longlines and also hook and line. The fishery catches some species of concern, including other depleted grouper species.
Full species report here.
Full Seafood Watch species report here (covers U.S. fishery).
This fish may have high levels of mercury that could pose a health risk to adults and children. More info here about mercury in grouper. Check out our mercury in seafood section.

Mayor Emanuel has chosen former IDOT employee Natashia Holmes to represent Chicago's 7th Ward in City Council, and fill former Ald. Sandi Jackson's vacant seat.
A mayoral commission interviewed and vetted dozens of candidates to fill the position. The commission welcomed candidates from all over the city, with various backgrounds. Ald. Michelle Harris (8th), the mayoral ally serving as the City Council's president pro tem, was one of the commission members.
Emanuel wanted to avoid choosing a new alderman that would have any ties to powerful families in Chicago politics. The 7th ward seat has been controlled by representatives from those influential families for years.
Former Ald. William Beavers (7th) is now a county commissioner awaiting trial on federal corruption charges.
Sandi Jackson resigned from her City Council post in January, which she held since 2007.
She is the target of a federal investigation regarding her involvement in the alleged misuse of campaign funds belonging to her husband, former congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. She has yet to be charged with any wrong-doing.
He is also the target of a separate federal probe into the alleged misuse of his campaign funds, which was made public in October.
Jackson Jr. signed a plea deal in the federal probe centered around him last week, which requires the former representative of Illinois' 2nd district to plead guilty and serve a short number of years in jail.
SEE: Jesse Jackson Jr. signs plea deal in federal probe
FOX 32's Darlene Hill reported exclusively that Jackson Jr. will receive disability pay and a large pension. She reported that he applied for a disability package shortly before handing in his resignation in November.
SEE: Jesse Jackson Jr. to receive disability pay from Congress: EXCLUSIVE
Jesse Jackson Jr. took a medical leave of absence at the beginning of 2012, and did not reveal the reason behind taking that leave until June of that year. He received treatment for bi-polar disorder at Minnesota's Mayo Clinic. He is reportedly still trying to get his health back on track.
These investigations and the media coverage surrounding them have taken a toll on the entire family. When Mrs. Jackson resigned from her City Council post, she cited the need to put her family first as the primary reason for her leaving.
Holmes is Emanuel's first appointment as mayor, and was one of three finalists. Former Ald, Sandi Jackson was allowed to submit names for consideration, but had no hand in the decision.
Shortly after the resignation, Chicago Sun-Times columnist Mary Mitchell reported that Sandi Jackson had a farewell meeting with her staff via telephone and all but declared her chief-of-staff Keiana Barrett as her successor.
"From an insider's point of view, Mayor Rahm may say he wants to have interviews; the people he will interview will be the people I am suggesting," Jackson told the gathering made up mostly of precinct workers.
"They are interviewing people in the community, but they do that to calm people down. People want to have their input. But for the most part, they turn that matter over to the alderman."
Sun-Times columnist Michael Sneed has reported that Barrett was under consideration to replace Jackson's replacement until it was discovered that she doesn't live in the ward.
But Jackson told supporters that Barrett would be appointed after the residency issue is resolved.
"We are going to be able to move forward according to state law," Jackson said. "She understands how that aldermanic office works. She understands how the campaigning apparatus works ... She already has an existing relationship with the mayor and the mayor's staff," Jackson told the group.
Jackson also noted that all of the furnishings for her ward office at 71st and Exchange were bought with campaign dollars.
"That means the city does not own any of the furniture that you are currently sitting on, any of the furniture that is in the campaign office, any of the furniture that is in the aldermanic office. I bought every item personally, and if the mayor upholds my wishes, everything in that office will stay the same. Keiana will inherit everything," Jackson said.
Emanuel responded by saying Sandi Jackson was free to recommend successors, but she will not dictate her replacement.
"She can obviously submit names. We have something on-line. She has a computer with an Internet connection," the mayor said, noting that he's accepting online applications from those interested in succeeding Jackson.
Asked whether he would welcome Jackson's recommendations, Emanuel said, "If she wants to. Sure. I mean — everybody can. I put it online. You can submit names online. The board will then meet, talk, review" the applicants before recommending three finalists to the mayor.
But the mayor said, "There are conditions. You've got to live in the ward. You've got to have been there for at least a year. I think I'm familiar now with the residency requirement. And then, you've also got to also from there have other conditions. Those are kind of the primary [conditions]. But, then, what has been your community involvement? What warrants you being an alderman? That will be what the board reviews. [But], anybody can put names forward."
The mayor has said he hopes that process he established in the 7th Ward will be a template for him to follow when future vacancies occur.
Former Mayor Richard M. Daley filled a record number of aldermanic vacancies by appointment — including the wives, sons and daughters of retiring or deceased aldermen — before shifting to a process of accepting online applications towards the end of his 22-year reign.
Asked why he insisted on inviting all comers, Emanuel said, "If I just picked somebody, it's the mayor just deciding you're gonna have this loyal person…Somebody would say there is not community involvement. And I actually think the community should have an involvement, given that you don't really have an election. There's really no perfect plan. I put forward something I think will stand the test of time that will make sense of getting community input as you make a selection without an election because you can't at this time."

Darren Blum and I were easily getting our 5- and 6-ounce flutter jigs to the bottom, 230 feet beneath my boat. It was that calm 84 miles offshore of Sarasota, Florida. I heard Blum grunt after his jig reached bottom; I glanced over and saw him rear back on what was likely another quality fish. "Red snapper!" he quipped, and given the boisterous fighting at the business end of his outfit, the braid leaving the reel and the previous red snapper catches, I couldn't disagree. This was turning into some really exciting and productive fishing!
As Blum played up his fish, which took a while from 200-plus feet, I couldn't help but stare, once again, into the clear blue Gulf of Mexico, looking for "color," the first glimpse of the fish. In what seemed like an eternity but was more like a few minutes, Blum hauled aboard another beautiful red snapper. Since it was July and closed season on red snapper, we released the fish via the SeaQualizer recompression tool (see "Tactics & Tackle" October 2011), after first venting it.
Blum is an accomplished offshore and bottomfishing angler who plies his sport in the Gulf of Mexico, mostly off Sarasota and Bradenton. A gemologist and sales manager for Coffrin Jewelers in Sarasota, he spends his off hours searching for jewels of the piscatorial kind far off this coast. He has a wealth of experience here and knows right where to go to catch fish, as he proved on this trip. He and I had discussed fishing together for quite some time, which finally culminated with me trailering my MARC VI from South Florida to Sarasota this past July. Our objective was to flutter-jig over a few of the deep bottom holes and shoot an episode for my Versus television series.
Wrong Way, George
As a South Florida native, I admit it felt odd trailering to Florida's west coast to bottomfish instead of east to the Bahamas or south to the Keys. This is certainly not to imply Florida's left coast doesn't have great bottomfishing — it does indeed — I just felt like I was going against the grain.
The morning Blum and I met at my boat, the weather was perfect, with just a hint of a breeze and 20 percent chance of rain. Given the forecast, he suggested we run to the farthest spot first. And if for some reason it didn't produce, he knew of two others within a few miles of that one. Naturally, he had a book full of coordinates for bottom spots and wrecks much closer to shore, but he was thinking big. And we had the weather to run big. After he entered GPS coordinates on the chart plotter, I was shocked when the distance appeared as 84 miles. By my South Florida way of thinking, we were going to overshoot Bimini by 34 miles. That's a trip well into the Bahamas for me. Nonetheless, we ran for those numbers.
The Sinkholes
Our designated spot was one of numerous offshore sinkholes, which are basically craters within the ocean floor. Blum says these are the same type of sinkholes that occur on land. But out here, when the soft silt and sand collapse and form one of these cavities, a jagged exposed rim of limestone is left. It's this structure that holds bait and predators. Many of these holes are true abysses, as there's seemingly no bottom. Blum says the bases of these holes range from 400 feet down to thousands of feet.
Although he has GPS numbers for closer-in sinkholes and springs, he prefers concentrating on those beyond 140 feet of water because of the larger variety of keeper and trophy fish. "There are more species of grouper and snapper out here, plus you have the pelagics," said Blum. "The amberjack are larger, there are fewer undersize snappers and groupers, the variety is amazing, and there's very little fishing pressure."
In these deep sinkholes, Blum has bested amberjack over 100 pounds, red snapper to 20 pounds, gag grouper to 50 pounds, red grouper to 25 pounds, scamp to 15 pounds, black grouper approaching 100 pounds and African pompano approaching 40 pounds. In addition, he has jigged up wahoo, dolphin, big jack crevalles and even blackfin tuna at these sinkholes. And the fishing is good year-round.
The jagged bottom surrounding the sinkhole we arrived at revealed itself on my fish finder. There was a sharp edge near the hole that dropped around eight feet, and we saved the coordinates of the peak on the chart plotter. We also activated the unit's plotter trail, which would show our exact drift in relationship to that point. With that, we could readjust our drifts to remain over the best bottom longer. Blum got us in position, and jigging we went. The current wasn't overly strong, moving just enough to stimulate feeding and let us effectively probe the pronounced bottom. In fact, on the very first drop of our very first drift, I hooked and played up a beautiful scamp. Blum followed that up with an amberjack. What a start!
A-Fluttering We Go
A variety of baits produce on these bottom spots, including fresh Spanish sardines, squid strips and ballyhoo, and especially live baits the likes of pinfish and pilchards (white bait). However, one of Blum's favorite and most productive methods is jigging with flutter-style irons. He claims everything from snapper to amberjack strikes them, and coming up through the water column, they also fool pelagics. Our plan was to flutter-jig until the fish grew wise, then switch to lead-heads with circle hooks tipped with strips of squid and whole Spanish sardines.
Braided line is a must for bottom-probing in deep water, as its diminutive diameter slices through the water and enables a lighter iron to be recruited. What's more, every vibration of the jig is transmitted up the line, including contact with bottom and fish strikes on the fall. And with nearly zero stretch, braided line promotes solid hook-sets in deep water. We spooled 25- and 30-class conventional reels with 50-pound Sufix 832 Advanced Superline and paired them with Penn Bluewater Carnage jigging rods. As for leaders, Blum opted for several feet of 80-pound-test fluorocarbon, whereas I selected 50-pound-test. A Bristol knot joined leader and braid.
A believer in the Williamson Vortex jig, Blum tied on a 6-ounce iron. To be a bit different, I went with the Williamson Raku jig, a flutter-style iron whose body is suspended from the leader cord carrying the hooks. The shape and free movement of this jig generate a wild, erratic and vibration-enhanced action. Both jigs acted like injured, frantically panicked baitfish scurrying about and above the bottom. Many times fish strike these jigs on instinct alone, and not necessarily from hunger.
After Blum and I took care of our first catches — my scamp was iced down and his amberjack released — we dropped again. My second fish was another delectable scamp, which joined its twin in the fish box, and Blum nailed another amberjack. After that, the action was so good I honestly lost track of who caught what and when. I believe my fifth or sixth drop yielded an amberjack, which was followed with a beauty of a red snapper. Blum was right there, doing a number on amberjack. Shortly after my red snapper, Blum connected with a fish that was fighting differently than an amberjack; he called red snapper. Sure enough, a plump snapper eventually broke the surface.
We confined most of our jigging action to within the lower 20 feet of the water column. The drill was to free-spool until the jig hit bottom, engage the drag and then whip the rod to make the flutter jigs come alive. After a few aggressive whips of the rod, we'd free-spool and reconnect with the bottom before resuming the jigging action. Blum claims the larger red snapper often hang 10 to 20 feet off the bottom, above the smaller snapper, which are within 10 feet of the bottom. So after bottom-probing, maintain the same jig action up 50 or so feet. Then, to entice the pelagics, try speeding up and shortening the jigging, and maintain that action right to the boat.
Our tactics worked well, as we caught scamp, red grouper and red snapper right off the bottom, and both amberjack and almaco jacks just above the bottom zone. At one point, the hooks on my jig were severed on a strike. I tied on a duplicate jig, and it got nailed and cut off before it reached bottom; the clean cut on the fluorocarbon leader spelled wahoo. Boring was the one thing this fishing wasn't. Even the most impatient angler would have kept busy catching fish that day.
Tough Fighters
Amberjack and almaco jacks are some of the toughest fish that swim. They thrive on Gulf wrecks and reefs.

Justin Timberlake 'Suit & Tie' single: Singer returns with new song with Jay-Z
As he hinted he would last week, Justin Timberlake has indeed delivered a new single via his website.
Called "Suit & Tie," the song also features Jay-Z, who shares writing credits with Timberlake, Timbaland, Jerome "J-ROC" Harmon and James Flauntleroy.
Listen to it on JustinTimberlake.com
Produced by Timberlake, Timbaland and J-Roc, "Suit & Tie" is also the first single from Timberlake's first album in six-and-a-half years, which he's calling "The 20/20 Experience."
That record is scheduled to drop sometime this year, and the single's currently available for purchase on iTunes for the next 24 hours. It's also streaming on the new MySpace and can be heard on the singer's website.
In an open letter to fans, Timberlake said he's preparing for big things in 2013.
"Back in June of last year, I quietly started working on what is now, my next journey with that thing I love called MUSIC," the 31-year-old said. "The inspiration for this really came out of the blue and to be honest, I didn't expect anything out of it. I just went into the studio and started playing around with some sounds and songs. It was probably the best time I've had in my career... Just creating with no rules and/or end goal in mind and really enjoying the process."
The result was that he developed something he "couldn't be more excited about! It is full of inspiration that I grew up listening to, and some newfound muses that I've discovered along the way. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it."
The New York Times called "Suit & Tie" a "dapper new single," while Billboard billed it as "a sleek, wholly assured dance number with several start-stop components arranged in a way that's reminiscent of the first 'Justified' single," referencing "Like I Love You" from Timberlake's 2002 solo album.

Micky Dolenz Says Monkees Reunion Came About Organically
Wednesday, August 22, 2012
Micky Dolenz admits that he's just as surprised as everyone else at Mike Nesmith's participation in the upcoming Monkees shows. Dolenz, who'll be hitting the road this fall for a dozen dates with Nesmith and Peter Tork, says that a Monkees tour without the late Davy Jones seemed unlikely at best. He explained to Rolling Stone, "It's shocking to us, too. It just caught us all by surprise. It wasn't this massive plan that people had been concocting for years or months or anything. It sort of happened organically. . . We started talking about doing some sort of memorial show. It just sort of escalated from there. It was, 'Well, where do you do the memorial? If you do it on the East coast, the fans on the West coast are disappointed. So, what then? Do we do two memorials?'"
Dolenz spoke about the connection the group members shared -- even after Nesmith bolted from the band's 30th anniversary tour after only playing a string of UK dates: "I think he moved back up to Carmel, (California) after that. There wasn't any strained relations as far as I was concerned. Look, it's impossible to go through something like that and get totally disconnected. It's like a brother. We may not see each other for literally years, and as soon as we get back together we're immediately back into the same dynamic."
Micky Dolenz is amazed at how different the history of the group is from all its late-'60s peers: "There was in a way, two Monkee bands; One was the cast of the television show that the producers had cast, and that were singing and paying on a lot of the early stuff -- but we had no control over what was going to be recorded. And then, after we fought for the right to do the music and did Headquarters -- that was the other Monkees group. That was like, the Monkees group that was just us singing and writing and playing the songs that we wanted. It's an unusual story, y'know, it's a very strange story."
The Monkees tour dates (subject to change):
November 8 - Escondido, CA - California Center for the Arts
November 9 - Santa Barbara, CA - The Arlington Theatre
November 10 - Los Angeles, CA - Greek Theatre
November 11 - Cupertino, CA - Flint Center for the Performing Arts
November 15 - Minneapolis, MN - The State Theatre
November 16 - Chicago, IL - Chicago Theatre
November 17 - Lakewood, OH - Lakewood Civic Auditorium
November 18 - Buffalo, NY - UB Center For The Arts Mainstage
November 29 - Glenside, PA - Keswick Theatre
November 30 - New Brunswick, NJ - State Theatre
December 1 - Huntington, NY - The Paramount
December 2 - New York, NY - The Beacon Theatre

(ARA) – An infant's Social Security number is used in a credit card application. A 10-year-old's identification information is used to apply for a car loan. Grandpa gets an email claiming that he won the lottery and needs to provide information to collect the winnings. Today, identity theft can occur to anyone, not just middle-aged adults. Savvy thieves are targeting every generation, from child to adult to senior. It's important to stay alert so every member of your family is better protected.
Child ID theft
Think you don't have to worry about identity theft for your kids? The fact is more than 19,000 cases of child identity theft were reported in 2011, up from about 6,000 in 2003, according to the Federal Trade Commission. How does this occur to children, who typically don't even have a bank account? Every day many parents send their children to school and child care with personal information in their backpacks. Backpacks are typically hung out of sight for hours or information can end up in desks for days, providing ample opportunity for identity thieves.
How can you tell if your child's ID has been stolen? If your child begins to receive suspicious mail, like pre-approved credit cards and other financial offers normally sent to adults, his identity might have been compromised. Also, a child should never have a credit history until they are older and actually have financial accounts. If you suspect that identity thieves may have targeted your child, complete a secure Child Identity Theft Inquiry Form at TransUnion.com. TransUnion will investigate the existence of a potential credit file in your child's name, and after the search is complete, respond to you at the email address you provide. If a file is located in your child's name, additional information will be asked for in order to proceed with steps to protect your child from any impact associated with this fraudulent activity.
The most important thing you can do to avoid child identity theft is to be mindful of the personal information your children are carrying. Make sure their information is kept in a safe spot and not just tossed in the bottom of a school bag. Even better, seal any documents that contain your child's personal information in an envelope addressed to the school. Also, explain to your kids that they shouldn't share personal information with strangers in-person or online.
Unfortunately, as many as 9 million Americans have their identities stolen each year, according to the FTC. Innovative thieves can get your information in many ways - from online hacking to dumpster diving.
To avoid ID theft, always shred personal documents, only use secure sites when shopping online, and give out your driver license number and other identification only when absolutely necessary. It's also wise to pick up your mail from your box every day and consider depositing outbound mail in a mailbox at the post office.
Awareness is your best weapon against identity thieves, so subscribing to a monitoring service like TransUnion Total gives you peace of mind. The service helps you minimize your exposure to identity theft by proactively monitoring the sites where posting personal information may occur. The service also includes monitoring for changes in your credit, new addresses registered with the postal service, court records and non-credit loans not reported to the credit bureaus. If ID theft does happen, you won't be alone. TransUnion will help you restore your good name and also help you cancel stolen items from your wallet and obtain new ones.
Senior ID theft
Seniors are frequently targeted by online phishing scams. If you're a senior, or you are an adult child who cares for an elderly parent, it's important to always guard personal information closely.
Seniors are often targeted on the phone with offers of free samples or lottery winnings – the caller simply needs some personal information to transfer the money or send the item. Another popular scheme is someone posing as a relative who is stuck and needs money in order to get home. Every senior should be highly skeptical when asked for bank accounts or Social Security numbers on the phone or Internet.
Another issue - that is an easy fix - is many seniors carry their personal information with them at all times – including their Social Security card, Medicare card, check book, etc. It's wise to only carry what is needed when leaving the house.
Identity theft affects all generations. By knowing the different considerations for the various ages of your family's members, you'll help keep everyone safe today and in the future.

Zimbabwe is a sovereign African nation exercising its right to self-determination. Is that wrong? I'm calling on U.S. President Barack Obama and the United States Congress to remove the illegal sanctions the U.S. has imposed on Zimbabwe. Take a minute to sign my petition and get your friends to also, and together we will STOP THE SUFFERING NOW!

The Buccaneers were expected to allow S Jermaine Phillips to sign elsewhere when he became a free agent this offseason, and recent events have made his return even more of a longshot.

The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
(RNN) - It's the week before Thanksgiving, and the pressure builds in the SEC football universe. Things are getting good as we cruise toward a finale that will be as crazy as Toronto's mayor.
Is it too early to talk about next week? Heck, no. Next week, Alabama plays Auburn in the biggest Iron Bowl in generations.
Auburn has a bye week. So does Alabama, but it has to show up Saturday and play Chattanooga. Don't be surprised if the Moccasins rack up yards, score and stuff against the Tide. Chances are good that Nick Saban has spent the week preparing his defense for Auburn's read option and stressing to defensive backs that you bat fourth-down interceptions to the ground.
As has become tradition, Couch Potato will not ignite partisan chat room weasel-swine into vituperative responses to his predictions of game outcomes that might go against their narrow, pathetic worldviews.
Instead, we will quote Monte Python and the Holy Grail. A great, great movie.
French Soldier: You don't frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, you sons of a silly person. I blow my nose at you, so-called "Arthur King," you and all your silly English K-nig-hts.
Mississippi State needs two wins to become bowl eligible. If this isn't one of them, punch up "I'll Be Home for Christmas" on the Starkville Sonic jukebox.
Minstrel: [singing] When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled.
Johnny Manziel, the only man alive who can win his second straight Heisman Trophy this year, rolls into Baton Rouge with a chance to seal the deal if he can be amazing against LSU's overrated defense. The Aggies have two losses – both to those pesky teams from Alabama . J.F. Football put up more than 40 points in both of those, so it wasn't his fault.
Five or six hundred yards at Tiger Stadium should do it.
But wait.
LSU is toting a badly stomped booty from that fiasco in Tuscaloosa two weeks ago, and that adds up to three losses to date, meaning the Tigers are on the brink of firmly establishing themselves as a second-tier team.
Another concern: Texas A&M is the cool school right over the state line in Texas, and all those good old boys in Louisiana might decide to go play over yonder if the spiral continues.
Zach Mettenberger, last seen crawling off the Bryant-Denny turf like a Saving Private Ryan extra, along with Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry can do terrible things to the egregious Aggie defense.
This one's important.
Black Knight: It's just a flesh wound.
Can the Commodores make it two straight over Tennessee? Everybody knew Butch Jones had a long road when he took the wheel, but like wow. He needs a win here just to keep the possibility of a bowl game and a break-even season alive.
Tim: Well, that's no ordinary rabbit.
King Arthur: Ohh.
Tim: That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!
Missouri is still in the hunt to win the East Division and earn a journey to distant Atlanta to play either Alabama or Auburn. A win in that game means that a trip to the national championship game is not out of the question.
And if lighting struck and the Tigers got to play the staggeringly overrated Ohio State, Columbia, MO, officials might be planning a really big parade in January.
If you had predicted that this time last year, they'd have put you in an institution.
James Franklin is back from a shoulder injury, which means Missouri is a much better team. A national championship caliber team… maybe.
Ole Miss has regained its equilibrium after Alabama made the Rebels wear leotards and sing show tunes. The turnaround is continuing for this young team, and a win over a No. 8 ranked team would grease the rails. A trip to a swell bowl and all kinds of pressure about the new challenger in the SEC West would begin.
King Arthur: Cut down a tree with a herring? It can't be done.
The other ones: Coastal Carolina at South Carolina; Georgia Southern could make things worse than they already are at Florida; Kentucky visits bewildered and heartsick Georgia for Aaron Murray's final home game; and as mentioned earlier, Chattanooga comes to Alabama.
Tim: I WARNED you, but did you listen to me? Oh, no, you KNEW, didn't you? Oh, it's just a harmless little BUNNY, isn't it?

About Me Minimalist
This wig has a very strange style. The texture is like wet straw. It must have been styled on a pot because it is the roundest wig I have ever seen. Plus, it is unnaturally thick. Nobody has hair this thick. I wear this wig to hide my braids on my way to the beauty salon.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

By groll1220
from Plymouth, MN
I am currently wearing a Paula Young wig that I have had for approx 5+ years. I love it however it needs replacing and I am unable to locate the same one in the same color. I have bought a few wigs recently, both at Paula Young and elsewhere and have not been happy with Paula's latests. I kept one, Marlee, only because I gave it to my mother to wear around the house, but definitely not outside. Too embarrassing.I plan to return this wig. Not sure if I will buy another one from the company. It's too "hit to miss" on the color and actual product.

(RNN) – Style points, bulletin board material, last-minute stunner, blowouts, making a case, statement win.
These tired sports clichés were in effect Saturday, as the No. 3 Florida State Seminoles (8-0, 6-0 ACC) won by double digits in primetime again, defeating the No. 7 Miami Hurricanes (7-1, 3-1 ACC) 41-14.
Florida State now has three wins over ranked teams (Maryland, Clemson and Miami), and beaten them by a total score of 155-28 in 2013. Signature win - take your pick! Alabama and Oregon, the two teams ranked above them in the Associated Press and BCS polls, are the only ones that could claim such success, and will be able to match them next Saturday.
In comparison of the No. 2 and 3 teams in the country, the Seminoles are slightly better than the Oregon mighty Ducks in many statistical categories, including passing yards, points for and points against.
So if numbers never lie and "statement wins" matter, will the Seminoles' win propel them past Oregon in the rankings this week? If strength of schedule is important and the quarterback role is most important position on the field, is Florida State better than Oregon?
Clichés can't answer this question, but the Seminoles' three wins against ranked opponents make them the most feared team in the country right now.
Week 10 winners
Ohio State - A butt-whooping is a butt-whooping right? The No. 4-ranked Buckeyes (9-0,5-0 Big Ten) scored early and often against the Purdue Boilermakers (1-7, 0-4 Big Ten), who wished Drew Brees was their quarterback again.
OSU quarterback Braxton Miller was a solid part of the 640 total yards of total offense, going 19-of-23 for 233 yards, four touchdowns and one interception in their 56-0 win. The Big Ten may be down as a whole, but Ohio State keeps on rolling. NEXT UP: at Illinois on Nov. 16.
Clemson - Being used as a punching bag by Florida State would take the wind out of anyone, but not No. 8 Clemson (8-1, 6-1 ACC). Since the Tigers already have one signature win – the season-opening home win against Georgia – Clemson can do nothing more than keep playing good football.
The Tigers did exactly that Saturday, defeating lowly Virginia (2-7, 0-5 ACC) 59-10. Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd had a career-making day: he passed current San Diego Chargers quarterback Phillip Rivers with the most touchdowns accounted for in ACC history. He is currently at 116 touchdowns and counting. NEXT UP: vs. Georgia Tech on Nov. 14.
Other week 10 winners: No. 25 Notre Dame defeated Navy 38-34; No. 22 Michigan State beat No. 21 Michigan 29-6; No. 17 Northern Illinois beat UMass 63-19 to go 9-0; No. 18. Oklahoma State defeated No. 15 Texas Tech 52-34; Colorado lost to No. 20 UCLA 45-23; No. 3 Florida State beat Miami 41-14 in primetime; No 24. Wisconsin beat Iowa 28-9; No. 16 Fresno State defeated Nevada 41-23.
Week 10 losers
Michigan – Three factors that are never good for a ranked team: 1.) losing on the road, 2.) losing to a ranked conference opponent and 3.) losing to your bitter in-state rival.
That's precisely what the offensively hapless Michigan Wolverines (6-2, 2-2 Big Ten) did against the Michigan State Spartans (8-1, 5-0 Big Ten), losing 29-6 in East Lansing. The Wolverines only managed 168 yards of total offense, and -48 yards rushing thanks to seven sacks.
No, that's not a typo; the Wolverines couldn't hang with the Spartan front seven, who manhandled quarterback Devin Gardner and the Michigan offensive line. NEXT UP: vs. Nebraska on Nov. 9.
Other week 10 loser: No. 3 Florida State beat No. 7 Miami 41-14 in primetime; No. 18. Oklahoma State defeated No. 15 Texas Tech 52-34.
Week 11 game of the week: No. 2 at No. 5 Stanford, 9 p.m. EST on ESPN – As the girls on the west coast would say, "like, duh."
A better game would be No. 10. Oklahoma at No. 6 Baylor, 7 p.m. EST on Fox Sports 1. With both teams making a run for Texas in the Big 12 standings, this matchup will be a shootout; Baylor (7-0, 4-0 Big 12) leads the nation in passing yards, and is top 10 in rushing yards (7th), points for (63.9 per game) and points against (6th with 15.9 per game).
Lest we forget: Aren't you glad your last name isn't Pelini this week? - It took a last-ditch, but successful, effort on a Hail Mary pass to keep Nebraska Cornhuskers' head coach Bo Pelini out of the hot seat (cliché, it's so hard not to do) for one week at least. But, for the little that Nebraska has accomplished – being a bit more than mediocre – Bo isn't the Pelini who made headlines this week.
Carl Pelini, Bo's older brother, resigned as the head coach of the Florida Atlantic University Owls this week. The resignation, effective immediately, came after Carl confronted allegations of drug use, a clearly written no-no in his contract. FAU defensive coordinator Pete Rekstis was also accused of drug use.
According to the Associated Press on Friday, two people, including a member of Pelini's coaching staff, signed sworn and notarized affidavits that admitted "the football coach [Pelini] was seen using marijuana and cocaine" in the last 12 months, and as recent at Oct. 19. The affidavits, which The USA Today obtained, were a part of the FAU athletic association's investigation of the allegations.
Carl, who was in his second year as the FAU Owls head coach with a 5-15 record, and was beginning the 2013 season 2-6 before his resignation. His last job was as his brother's defensive coordinator at Nebraska in 2011. He might be headed back to Lincoln to look for work, and FAU might attempt to recoup some of his annual $472,500 salary.
FAU (3-6, 2-4 CUSA) was unfazed by the drama - the Owls defeated Marshall on Saturday, 34-17.
