The nutrition plan of care synthesizes information obtained from the evaluation of growth and physical development, dietary interview, and other sources listed below. This information is evaluated, and short- and long-term goals are determined, from which the nutrition prescription is developed, which contains specific recommendations for the patient to follow. These recommendations are updated and reinforced frequently. The plan of care is updated at least every 3 to 4 months and is shared with the patient, family, and multidisciplinary team.
Nutrition counseling is performed based on the nutrition prescription. Initiation of MD generally requires modification of dietary nutrient intake from normal to maintain adequate nutrition and optimize growth and development. Such changes in dietary intake may include alteration of phosphorus, sodium, potassium, protein, and fluid in the diet. Diet restrictions for children treated with dialysis should be individualized and minimized as much as possible to optimize nutrient intake.
Nutrition counseling is recommended at the initiation of dialysis (ideally within the first week) and on an ongoing basis, because of the dynamic nature of the child's medical condition and food preferences. Family members and primary caretakers must be involved in the process to enable the patient to have appropriate foods available and to provide support for food and fluid limitations (when appropriate) as well as encouragement for nutrient consumption. Counseling must be targeted at the appropriate education level of the child and family member.
The components evaluated to develop an individualized nutrition plan of care include14:
Conditions that could dictate a more frequent evaluation of the nutrition plan of care include dry-weight loss, ongoing decrease in oral intake, change in gastrointestinal function, significant change in standard deviation scores (such as a 0.5 standard deviation decrease in SDS for height), elevated or suboptimal laboratory values related to nutrients, ongoing excess interdialytic weight gain, concern for appropriate compliance with recommendations, change in psychosocial situation, or when placement of a tube for feeding is under consideration. In these cases, monthly or more often updates to the care plan may be necessary.
A registered dietitian with renal experience should be a central and integral part of the dietary management. Registered dietitians are proficient in the assessment and ongoing evaluation of the patient's nutrition status and the development of the nutrition plan of care and diet prescription. In addition, the pediatric population requires a registered dietitian skilled in the evaluation of growth as well as physical, developmental, educational, and social needs. At a minimum, registered dietitians should be responsible for assessing the child's nutritional status; developing the nutrition plan of care; providing education and counseling at the appropriate age level for patients, family members, and/or caretakers; monitoring the patient's nutritional status; evaluating adherence to the nutrition prescription; assessing and monitoring adequacy of dialysis; and documentation of these services. Registered dietitians should manage the nutrition care and provide nutrition counseling for patients prior to starting dialysis and for those who have lost a kidney transplant and are returning to dialysis.
Compliance with the nutrition prescription and recommendations from other team members are important at any age, especially in adolescents. Integrating the treatment goals of the dietitian, social worker, child development specialist, nurse, and physician helps to maximize patient and family adherence to the overall plan of care.
1. Would adaptation of an SGA tool specifically for the pediatric population be useful for evaluating nutrition status of children?
2. Studies are needed to evaluate strategies to enhance compliance, with particular emphasis on the adolescent age group.

Storm Stories: Child Nutrition Steps Up During Sandy
Directors share experiences of working—and living—through Superstorm Sandy.
When Sandy hit the Eastern Seaboard on Oct. 29, millions of people were affected with rising water, downed trees and loss of power. School districts weren't immune to Sandy's effects. FSD talked with two child nutrition professionals to find out how their programs are dealing with Sandy's aftermath.
Ruth Arnold is the operations manager with Nutri-Serve Food Management for several New Jersey districts, including Little Egg Harbor on the Jersey coast.
"The district that was most affected by Sandy was Little Egg Harbor Township. They were hit so bad…it was crazy. It was very challenging to talk to the director because there was no electricity and the cell phone towers were down. An occasional text would come through. The very first thing that happened was that the district decided that there were so many people in the community who lost their homes—we had employees who lost their homes—they decided they wanted to feed the community. On Thursday [two days after Sandy hit] the foodservice director and a team of volunteers started preparing meals. I believe we served 2,400 meals on Thursday and Friday. I was able to get there on Friday and witness this firsthand. It was incredible to see all the people who came in to volunteer. There were so many people who couldn't get to the school, so we had a caravan to deliver meals. I went on one run.
We went to some houses in the neighborhood. It was surreal. Everything was out in the street—washing machines, mattresses, everything. It was incredible how much garbage was out on the street. It was kind of desolate. We knocked on some doors and delivered whatever food we had—soups, sandwiches. It was incredible to see how thankful and grateful these people were. I still can't wrap my head around people turning around and saying, 'God, it feels good to eat.' I heard that from one guy and it just blows my mind. We take food for granted.
One of the homes we delivered food to was one of my directors who worked in Burlington County. She was so appreciative. You don't realize who you're helping sometimes.
We were able to get some soup donated from one of the local restaurants and we took that to a shelter in Pinelands School District. Pinelands was so packed that Little Egg opened up [as a shelter]. The shelter was incredible. There were people on cots in classrooms all over. There were all kinds of animals displaced. It was sad.
I had the opportunity to go into some of the houses. One woman opened up her utensils drawer and there was seawater in there. You talked to people and they had walked through hip-height water.
One school in Monmouth County is still closed. All phones and some of the electrical are still out. Brigantine is still out as well. They are doing spaghetti dinners there for the community. We have foodservice employees there who lost their homes. Pleasantville was used as an emergency shelter. The director there said, 'I know they are so glad to be back at work. They have given their all and more to the homeless people down there. Some of them have lost their homes and they are the ones working to help the others. We are just feeding the people and will figure out how to recoup the costs later. It's really using what we have to get them fed. We have faith in FEMA and Red Cross to get any costs repaid to the district.'
Food deliveries have been great. As soon as they could get in, they did.
I saw my director, Mike, [in] a whole new light. I saw him rise to the occasion and really do some great stuff. It's incredible how you can see the best of people in the worst of times. There's something so beautiful about people helping each other. To be able to be in a position to give something back was really something.
The advice I'd give is to focus on the fact that people need you. Feed them. Worry about the rest of the stuff later. Things like bills are not important in a disaster. What's important is reaching out and helping people. Don't underestimate the value of the food you produce and the greatness that it can do. Everyone wanted to do more. Just know that just doing anything is enough."
Al Benjunas is the foodservice director for Chartwells in the Stamford (Conn.) School District.
"Sandy knocked out power to seven of our 20 schools. We didn't have any flood damage. Of [the seven that lost power], four had generators, which allowed us to keep a lot of our product refrigerated. The three that did not we had to go in and move product around to other schools with our district trucks. We did lose some power. We are back up and running now.
The challenges that we faced were getting product in to open when we did on Wednesday (the week after Sandy) and getting around to all the schools because not all our schools accept deliveries. We have a central warehouse.
We did have to adjust our menus. We were granted an exemption by the USDA because the county was declared a disaster area. We had to write a letter stating all the problems we're facing having all the products available to us to meet the new regulations. They granted us an exemption from the 7th to the 14th, so we didn't have to meet the new meal regs; we're following the old meal pattern until we can get all of our regular deliveries back on track.
My advice is to have some kind of disaster plan in place and make sure you know all of your contacts with the town and district. We worked with the district and we had an emergency contact tree in case they needed us to come in and serve people in the shelters."

Apologies for not getting this completed and posted yesterday. SBNation only just let me in through Facebook.
I've gotten done with 8 of the countries in the Euro's so far. We're half way there with 8 days to go. And now, I bring you RUSSIA!
Euro Group A
(You can click on the nation to see the previous posts)
Goalkeepers: Igor Akinfeyev (CSKA Moscow), Vyacheslav Malafeyev (Zenit St Petersburg), Anton Shunin (Dynamo Moscow).
Defenders: Alexander Anyukov (Zenit St Petersburg), Alexei Berezutsky (CSKA Moscow), Sergei Ignashevich (CSKA Moscow), Roman Sharonov (Rubin Kazan), Vladimir Granat (Dynamo Moscow), Kirill Nababkin (CSKA Moscow).
Midfielders: Igor Denisov (Zenit St Petersburg), Roman Shirokov (Zenit St Petersburg), Konstantin Zyryanov (Zenit St Petersburg), Yuri Zhirkov (Anzhi Makhachkala), Alan Dzagoyev (CSKA Moscow), Igor Semshov (Dynamo Moscow), Denis Glushakov (Lokomotiv Moscow), Marat Izmailov (Sporting Lisbon), Dmitri Kombarov (Spartak Moscow).
Forwards: Andrei Arshavin (Arsenal), Alexander Kerzhakov (Zenit St Petersburg), Roman Pavlyuchenko (Tottenham Hotspur/Lokomotiv Moscow), Alexander Kokorin (Dynamo Moscow), Pavel Pogrebnyak (Fulham)
Out of the darkness, the Soviets emerged, a force to be reckoned with. Led by the Black Spider, Lev Yashin, This was am odd Spider; he kept everything out of his net. Unlike other like-minded creatures who would wait and react should anything come close to them, the Black Spider charged his prey once he saw it coming. He revolutionized net minding. Yashin led his great team to a golden age for the Red Army, They swept all before them, picking up gold in the first European Championships and reaching the finals in 2 of the next 3 (with one being a semifinal exit determined by the toss of a coin). And then, they slipped back to the shadows. They recorded but one near success- silver in the Euros of 1988. 20 years later, a rosy checked Meerkat emerged to guide them close to the gold again. But the Red Fury were not to be defeated and cast aside the Russians 4-1 in the semifinals. But the Russians were certainly back again. Despite missing the world cups in 2006 and 2010, Russia qualified for the Euro 2012 topping Ireland and and Slovakia. And now, their time might finally have come again. The red army will go forth, once more for the Motherland.
The Team
In qualifying, the Russians went with a 4-4-1-1, with Arshavin sitting behind the striker. The Russians have a passion for Dutch Managers, Dick Advocaat being the latest man in charge. He has had several stints in important positions, including Holland, South Korea, Belgium, PSV, Rangers and Zenit. He has been with Russia since 2010. Expect Russia, who are ranked 11th in the world and 8th in Europe, to wear a Red home kit and a white away one.
Players of Mention
Arsenal Men
Andrei Arshavin
From the dark and gloom of Leningrad emerged a little boy. A slight and slender child who only lit up when he could twist and dance past others. Yet, his talent remained hidden in Leningrad, now St. Petersburg. After disappointment and disappointment, the rosy checked boy, now a rosy checked captain, found his chance. With the whole world watching and expecting naught, the Meerkat began running and dancing and slipping around his confounded opponents. Arshavin, the star on center stage. A 15 million Euro show. Everyone clamored for his performance in their theater; pushing and fighting for his very name. At last, one man got the Meerkat to dress in Red and White and whisked him away from St. Petersburg to London. Here, Arshavin found his talent swept to the side. Yet, he still glowed with daring and pride. We all still remember his magic at Anfield. Encore! Encore! three times, you say? But, now our Meerkat began to fade. Not quite so swift; his glow hampered by faulting. But the genius was not hidden, the cunning, still there. Against Barcelona, he proved he still had some flair. But that was only a short respite. The fans began sneering and booing : Oh Arshavin, you're not doing it right. The Meerkat did not have his mind in London- he was off dreaming of going back for a stage quite Russian. The debacle with Manchester became the last straw. Our Red Meerkat became Our Red Goat. Zenit said they would take him back to St. Petersburg, at least for a while. There Arshavin found his place on the stage- right in the center where began his great career. An Era, not quite past, for with beloved Zenit in St. Petersburg, the Meerkat found his awards again. With his calling in Russia, don't hold your breath- he's not coming to London.
Key Players
Roman Shirokov
This midfielder has quite the bad reputation. He is looked at as the only poor player from the Russian 2008 Euro squad. He was largely blamed for the 4-1 defeat at the hands of Spain while he was playing CB. He was then dropped from the team. However, Shirokov has made a comeback, this time as the midfielder he wanted to be. Expect him to be a key part of the Russian transition, especially since Arshavin has gotten older. He has 21 caps with 4 goals.
Andrei Arshavin
The captain with 17 goals in 70 appearances. See above.
Chances at Euro 2012
At the very least, Russia should get out of their very soft group. However, you never know with the Russians, and most of these games are going to be steeped with political history- not something on Russia's side. If they do get through the group, they can expect to find either Germany or Holland, both terrifying giants for the Russians. But they made an upset 4 years ago in this same round and they have a chance to repeat that . Their other possible opponents from Group B are the slightly more tame Denmark and Portugal. If Russia can claw through to the semifinals, they have a good chance of coming across a side they can reasonably beat, or Spain.
Matches to Watch
Russia vs. Poland
Russia vs. Czech Republic
Group of Formally Communist Countries and Greece Group A has quite a few matches that are heavily impacted by history. As two former satellites of the Soviet Union, Poland and the Czech Republic are going to want a bit of revenge.
(Note, my predictions may start contradicting earlier ones at this point)
I think Russia is going to win the group. At the very least, I think they are going to get out into the knockout rounds. But against the giants of group B, Russia stands very little chance. Quarterfinal exit.

Baby Finnley remembered with fourth charity event
10:00pm Saturday 18th January 2014 in News By Sam McGregor
A COUPLE who have raised more than £50,000 in memory of their son will mark what would have been his fourth birthday by raising more cash.
Luke, 33, and Gemma Froude, 32, will stage the fourth Finnley's Day to mark the day they lost their son Finnley.
He was born 12 weeks premature weighing 1lb 4oz and cared for in the neo-natal intensive care unit at the John Radcliffe Hospital.
But the youngster suffered complications and died aged 18 weeks in June 2010.
Each year the couple have staged a fun day to raise cash for SSNAP (Support for Sick Newborns And their Parents), a charity based at the hospital.
This year's event takes place at Banbury Town Hall, in Bridge Street, on Saturday, February 1, from 9am to 5pm.
So far the couple, of Appleby Close, Banbury, have raised £50,366.03 in Finnley's name.
Nursery manager Mrs Froude said: "This will be the fourth Finnley's day which has become an annual event in Banbury's calendar.
"Finnley's legacy helps keep his memory alive for us and gave his short life even more meaning.
"We plan to hold future events and will continue to raise money in his name and awareness of the premature baby unit."
The couple are in talks with the charity to donate cash raised this year to a palliative care suite at the unit, which will give families a private space to be with their babies.
Mr Froude works as a manager at Bibby Financial Services, Banbury, which is sponsoring the event.
On the day there will be a photo-booth, bouncy castle, face painting, fire engine visit, craft stalls, CD and DVD sale, cakes and refreshments, tombolas and raffle.

CONWAY (AP) - Central Arkansas will play Tennessee-Martin this weekend after playing before the third-largest crowd to ever see the Bears play.
UCA played at Colorado last weekend and led 24-17 going into the fourth quarter. The Buffaloes scored 21 straight points and won 38-24 before a crowd of 35,168. The only larger crowds to see UCA play were at Ole Miss in 2012 and Hawaii in 2009.
The Bears last played a game against Tennessee-Martin in 2007 and took a 14-point victory. They have an 8-4 record against the Skyhawks.
In the Colorado game, quarterback Wynrick Smothers had three interceptions for the first time in his career. He was 33 of 55 for 280 yards.

The Historic and Modern Doctrines of Equivalents and Claiming the Future: Part I (1790-1870)
Joshua D. Sarnoff
DePaul University College of Law
Journal of the Patent and Trademark Office Society, Fall 2004
From its beginning, American patent law has extended patent protection beyond the explicitly disclosed examples of an invention described in a patent specification, applying patents to some range of equivalent substituted technologies. From the middle of the 19th Century until 1950, the Supreme Court was careful to limit this historic doctrine of equivalents to products or processes that physically embody the construed language of a patent's claims. In Graver Tank & Manufacturing Co. v. Linde Air Products Co., 339 U.S. 605 (1950), the Supreme Court radically altered the nature of the doctrine of equivalents, expanding patent protection beyond the scope of application of construed claim language in order to protect the value of patents from alleged fraud. In Warner-Jenkinson Co. v. Hilton Davis Chemical Co., 520 U.S. 17 (1997), and Festo Corp. v. Shoketsu Kinzoku Kogyo Kabushiki Co., 535 U.S. 722 (2002), the Supreme Court extended patent protection under this modern doctrine to later-arising technologies not contemplated by the inventor. As discussed in Part I of this article - forthcoming in the Journal of the Patent and Trademark Office Society - the Supreme Court in 1853 stated that patent protection was limited to the scope of application of construed claim language. In the 1870 Patent Act, Congress codified a "distinct claiming" requirement that should have foreclosed the modern doctrine of equivalents. As discussed in Part II - also forthcoming in the Journal of the Patent and Trademark Office Society - until Graver Tank, the Supreme Court consistently limited the doctrine of equivalents under the 1870 Patent Act to the scope of application of construed claim language. In the 1952 Patent Act, Congress neither codified nor impliedly ratified the modern doctrine of equivalents, and did not extend it to later-arising technologies.
This article is the second in a series of articles relating to the doctrine of equivalents. These articles seek to encourage and to set the context for future discussions of abolishing the modern doctrine of equivalents and of claiming later-arising technologies. The first article, to be published in the Federal Circuit Bar Journal, describes conflicts among the modern doctrine and prosecution history estoppel and additional implied disclaimer and claim scope doctrines. It explains how the modern doctrine improperly extends patent protection to equivalents that could not validly be claimed. The third article, to be published in the Berkeley Technology Law Journal discusses the lack of theoretical justification for, social costs of, and complexity created by the modern doctrine. It argues that the historic doctrine of equivalents should be restored and that additional limits on claiming later-arising technologies may be needed to promote progress.

This is what stands for progress in Arizona: The mere fact that Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery feels the need to rationalize the way his office prosecutes undocumented workers, hitting them with multiple forgery counts, thus ensuring that they will be denied bond and eventually deported.
Disgraced, disbarred ex-County Attorney Andrew Thomas, Monty's old boss, would not have bothered with excuses. Thomas was proud of the ruthlessness with which his prosecutors persecuted an entire class of people.
On more than one occasion, Thomas stated under oath and to the media that the system he devised to charge undocumented workers in such a fashion — so as to make them non-bondable, coerce guilty pleas from them, and ensure their removals — was all part of his "no amnesty" policy.
Montgomery is a different kind of Republican, more subtle and cunning than Thomas, who was so good at playing the shameless, hysterical ideologue.
By contrast, Monty's made sure to court Latinos and progressives in his own way, signing on to the so-called SANE immigration plan, a lukewarm local version of comprehensive immigration reform.
This courtship continues, despite Thomas' campaigning in 2010 as a hard-right nativist, which I pointed out when the SANE plan first was announced.
So when a group of valiant immigration and criminal attorneys held a press conference in mid-February at the county courthouse to demand that Monty end this Thomas-era policy, he quickly called a press conference of his own to answer allegations of discriminatory practices and the over-charging of Latino defendants.
"I am enforcing the law as it is written," Monty said when confronted with Thomas' statements. "I'm not sure what someone else's justification might have been. [Andrew Thomas is] no longer the county attorney."
Ignoring recent history is convenient for Monty, but for those who have suffered under Thomas versus those who have suffered under Montgomery, the intellectual justification matters not.
But it matters to the supporters of SANE, an august list of progressive groups, Arizona businesses, and prominent individuals.
Montgomery has pitched himself to SANE as a sort of Nixon going to China, an arch-right-winger who can venture where other conservatives dare not tread.
Essentially, he has some of the SANE folks snowed into believing that his hands are tied when it comes to how, say, workers caught in Sheriff Joe Arpaio's migrant-hunting raids are prosecuted.
How do I know some of them are snowed? Because they've tried making these arguments to me, off the record, essentially defending Montgomery and buying into his baloney.
Almost all the attorneys I've spoken with about the subject disagree with Monty and his defenders, who contend he has no choice in the matter of charging the undocumented.
One of these critics is Michael Neufeld, a Phoenix attorney who practices both immigration and criminal law and handles several of these cases a year.
"[Montgomery] absolutely has the power, the decision on how to charge things, and on what plea offers to make to [defendants]," Neufeld told me.
See, Arizona has several laws under which the MCAO can prosecute someone who has been working under a false Social Security number or with a fake identity.
But from jump, Montgomery's prosecutors hit these undocumented moms and dads with multiple class-four felony charges — usually forgery or taking the identity of another — making them ineligible for bond, according to Proposition 100, which was approved by the state's voters in 2006.
To give you an idea of how nearly universal granting bond is, murder suspect Jodi Arias, who has admitted to the brutal slaying of her lover, Travis Alexander, is being held under $2 million bond.
Prohibitively high, sure. But under Prop 100, a worker alleged to have put a fake Social Security number on an employment file has zero opportunity for bail, and thereby is deemed worse than Arias under Arizona law.
The MCAO could charge undocumented workers with a misdemeanor or a class-six felony. If they're granted bond in state court but have holds placed on them by ICE, they would be turned over to ICE, which probably would bond them out as well.
However, the MCAO has a policy of going for class-four felonies.
In the past, according to Neufeld and other attorneys, Montgomery's office sometimes offered plea deals to felonies that do not have adverse immigration effects.
But Neufeld and others say Montgomery's office now want defendants to "plead to the lead," leaving them with a Hobson's choice: plead guilty and face deportation, or sit in Arpaio's gulags with thugs, thieves, and killers until trial, which could take six months, maybe more, to happen.
That's one reason these cases rarely go to trial, no matter how weak the case.
Monty swears up and down, despite Thomas' past statements to the contrary, that the MCAO does not charge defendants to affect their immigration cases once they are turned over to ICE.
"I'm not coordinating my efforts [with ICE] in that regard," Montgomery stated during his presser, adding, "I'm not going to chase after particular convictions or particular statutory charges to file . . . to guarantee or anticipate immigration consequences."
Yet that statement is directly contradicted by an ICE PowerPoint presented to MCAO attorneys in January 2012. I published the PowerPoint presentation recently after obtaining it through a public-records request to the MCAO.
The document spells out the "litigation challenge" faced by ICE attorneys when those convicted of certain statutes are turned over to ICE custody.
And it offers a solution, stating that there's "no problem if" certain subsections of the law are used to charge and convict the individual, thereby offering a blueprint for deportation.
The presentation took place on county property and was coordinated by Montgomery's office. His attorneys were given a "continuing legal education" credit for their attendance.
Several immigration attorneys have told me that one of the ICE presenters actually bragged to them about helping the MCAO ensure deportation.
And more than one defense lawyer has informed me that MCAO prosecutors have admitted that they must seek certain charges and are forbidden to offer certain plea deals — the idea being to mess up a defendant's chances of remaining in the country.
Interestingly, the U.S. Supreme Court in its 2010 decision Padilla v. Kentucky, noted that criminal convictions and the possibility of deportation are "enmeshed," stating that "informed consideration" of possible deportation could assist both prosecutors and defense counsel, helping them "craft a conviction and a sentence" that reduces the likelihood of deportation.
Monty is doing the exact opposite, which is why he's getting denounced by groups such as the League of United Latin American Citizens and the civil rights group Puente, which recently held a demonstration, led by 9-year-old Sara Blanco and her two older sisters, in front of Monty's downtown office.
The three girls wept as they described how their mother, grandmother, and grandfather were held non-bondable under several felony counts after they were picked up in a recent MCSO raid of a Tempe clothing company.
Montgomery, stung by the resulting bad press, has reached out to Latino groups, trying to convince them that he is a just man and has no choice but to make these little ones cry.
My advice to local Latinos: Whenever Monty tries to tell you that he has no choice, remember Sara's tears and challenge him to end this cruel charade.

Those "people" broke the laws!!....why do mexicans insist on thinking that the laws do not apply to them?...this is just another in a very long line of hispanic arrogances. That was real good of the news to shove the camera in that little girls face crying to "let my gramma go", trying to make them seem like the victim. The victim is the identities they have STOLEN!!...and these "people" want a legal status? Those other "people" that were screaming and crying racsim need to learn just what that word means. I have NO sympathy for them, they knew dam well what they were doing was against the law, they got caught, but they will most likely be let go to do it all over again...and that is the biggest injustice of them all...scums, every last one of them....
MCAO legacy, keep churning the "chaos" for $$$$'s.
In 2003 in the wake of September 11th 2001, Janet Napaolitano while running to be Governor of Arizona had a Radio Campaign Commercial which said: "If elected Governor I will get more Federal Dollars for Arizona because we've got Lots of Border."
The Federal Magic Money Tree has now been Raped at the U.S. Mexico Border.
It had absolutely nothing to do with Drugs or Immigration.
After Mrs. Napolitano won the election Local Arizona News crews were sent to the U.S. Mexico Border near San Luis Mexico/Yuma, they did a Big Blown out of praportion Story about a few little Mexican Children crossing the Border and attending a small U.S. Elementary School.
The National Guard was sent to "Big Deal The New Border War."
This Story was put on National/Word News, and did as it was intended , it outraged a Nation that after the September 11th 2001 Tragedy was filled with Hate, and looking for some one to blame.
The New "Phony Border War was Born."
Racism, and Hate took off like wild Fire, now Supremacist could be Racist, and use the excuse of "Inforcing our Laws."
Sometimes even the almighty "Law" must be tempered with Curcumstances, and our True Principles, and Ideals?!
To: Liberty.
Mr. Lemons, Great journalism, keeping the public informed. Those who have protected the MCAO in the local media have helped create the problems the people have been facing. It takes courage to write the truth rather than white wash it with sound-bytes that the MCAO knows how to use to keep the public in the dark.
wow! another illegal mexican story from the one trick pony.
Sounds like a very solid plan to me man, I think I like it. Wow.
This comment is too good to be buried amidst the GOP paid trolls.

January 2008 began the E-verify Law, the Hitler like I.C.E. Deportation/Incarceration Programs, which have seperated Thousands of U.S. Families, and Persecuted Millions of un-documented Immigrants and Millions of their Legal Citizen Children/Family Members.
January 2008 also began the Foreclosure Crisis, The Mortgage Crisis, the "Great Recession", the Bail Out Programs, and our New Ballooning National Deficit.
This is No Co-incidence!
The States that Deported/Incarcerated the most Immigrants are the Hardest Hit with Foreclosures, and Economically.
The Hard Labor Immigrants gladly did for America was the very Foundation of our "Strong Economy", and the twenty-five year period prior to the January 2008 start of the "Anti-Immigrant Rant" lead by Russell Pearce, and his Supremacist Pals was infact "The Most Prosperous Time in Total U.S. History."

To: Good,
Here's another "BOO-HOO" story. Why don't you spend your time on something more with dealing with the citizens concerns such as the hungry, homeless, and abused children in this state. I know they are not worth your effort to improve their condition, but if you put forth the same effort, as you do with the criminal illegal alien problem, i'm sure these kids would be very grateful. But, you won't get your behind kissed, so you just tell these abused children they're not worth it to you. Write about the shortage of battered womens shelters, the children in the homeless family school, and maybe expose the so-called parents who have had their children removed because of abuse. Those poor children crying should be your number one concern, NOT the results of the illegal aliens getting caught, which they knew and accepted when they came here. Help the abused children and feel proud. Getting your behind kissed by illegals is not a GOOD feeling.
Republicans only acknowledge history when it swings their way *smh
It's despicable that you talk about separating families. Like we really care. How many times have I heard you oppose locking up American citizen mothers and fathers that separate them from their kids. But do you care about them? Of course not. Truth is, if you don't want to be called an illegal alien don't come to the United States Illegally.
I would like someone to explain to me how unskilled minimum wage laborer's are going to contribute. IF they all get instant amnesty and are required to pay federal taxes and state tax on their minimum wage they would be required to file their income tax each year and record their deductions (mainly children) it would seem they would get a huge winfall more money then they put in. How is that helping ? i understand citizens are entitled to the same deductions.

It should be noted that employers are legally responsible for hiring illegal immigrants. Not the immigrants themselves.
The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 essentially created the federal E-Verify system and created the I-9 form. The form designed to block the hiring of illegal immigrants.
MontyPug should go after the employers as well. But he doesn't. Presumably because he gets campaign contributions from employers to look the other way. Sad really, especially from a West Point graduate and Army veteran like MontyPug, who led a battery of soldiers in the Gulf War and didn't have a single casualty. His record as County Attorney speaks for itself.
Mr. Lemons, Great journalism. We get a clear picture of MCAO Montgomery and carrying on the Andrew Thomas-era MO. Thomas had Mark Faull as his chief deputy. MCAO Bill Montgomery also has Mark Faull as his chief deputy. What has changed?
ICE is about as useless as teh TSA. Worthless!
... and political gain regardless of who gets destroyed in the process. Women and children are the "easy" targets for bullies.

@truthseekeraz do you realize obama and his administration are responsible for deporting 1.5 million illegal immigrants of which the majority were hardend criminals.As a matter of fact obama has been credited with removing more illegals then any other president combind, it was accomplished in only 3 short years. I think i was Bill Clinton (another democrat president) who in 1996 sign into law these little tidbit's
1.Increase border personel and technology
2.Viigorously enforce worksite laws against employers who hire illegals
3.ensuring jobs are made for legal worker's
4.Verifying employment authorization
5.Reforming and streamlining deportation proceedures with enhanced exacussion
6.Increase deportation level's to 25% then 50% the following year
The above list was pass into law before the great recession .
The biggest misjustice of all of this is being played on the american citizen .Our citizens are being mandated to fund all types of programs associated with illegal immigrants and their families, food,housing ,education ,incareration to name a few.There are no positives to illegal immigration
Profiting From Human Miseryhttp://www.truthdig.com/report/print/profiting_from_human_misery_20130217/
We have abandoned the common good. We have been stripped of our rights and voice. Corporations write our laws and determine how we structure our society. We have all become victims. There are no politicians or institutions, no political parties or courts, that are independent enough or strong enough to resist the corporate onslaught. Greater and greater numbers of human beings will be consumed. The poor, the vulnerable, the undocumented, the weak, the elderly, the sick, the children will go first. And those of us watching helplessly outside the gates will go next."
@Steve70 another paid GOP troll.
@Francisco Cortez and you mexicans think you can do anything you want, whenever you want, to whoever you want and think there will be no consequences to those ILLEGAL actions. What about the person's identity? They will have to spend thousands of dollars clearing their name because of those people stealing jobs from legal cictizens. Cisco, you have illegal family members living at your house I know, thats why you say the things you do....you don't deserve to live here, you're just as bad...maybe worse, because you are harboring illegals and you dam well know it...
@JoeArpaioFan paid GOP troll.
@JoeArpaioFan Jaffy's on another smoke break from BK. He pulled the night shift. You know how bad the shitter gets after a long day of use? Have fun cleaning JAF. Wax on. Wax off.
@JoeArpaioFan What you state is so true the activists would have you believe the only criminal's in Arpios's jail are those illegal immigrants with young children.
@john04301 Well said.
@DNichols Cry us a river! In case you did not know it, only persons authorized to work in this country can work in this country. E-Verif is a valuable tool to make sure only those authorized to work are allowed to work. Call it racist if you want but I think you have run out of race cards to play.
@DNichols Outstanding well-informed comment that ALL should read.
@DNICHOLS Maybe you can expand on this. Please explain away why Arizona has a budget surplus now,Sales tax and property tax decreases did not create the great reccesion wall street and big banks are to blame however after reading your rant it appears the collaspe of our economy was a direct result of Joe Arpaio enforcing the law and montgomary prosecuting
@MaskedMagician1967 Oh really? Well, if Arpaio went after employers you'd cry fowl too and call them racist for not hiring illegal aliens so why should he even bother?
@truthseekeraz You mean YELLOW JOURNALISM
@zinxminx Useless not. I suppose thosugh you call TSA useless because they are preventing you from getting on a plane with a gun or something like that.
@john04301 GOP paid troll. Hardened criminals?? Did you mean violent or non-violent?
@john04301 Right. And the citizens whose labor supports all these programs are maligned as unworthy vermin when their time of need comes. Back in the '70's a political activist told me the truth about equality achieved. She said that whenever there is a dirty job to be done or an unpopular truth to be told - that is the ONLY time the good old boys will let a woman or a minority have the job. It's OBVIOUS the GOP threw both elections - they are as dead as the KGB - NOT! I agree with truthseeker that there is no coincidence but my conclusion is very different.
Terms like "racism," "prejudice," "nativism," and "xenophobia" just put a politically correct sheen on what is occurring because while these things truly are horrible - we have been taught in such a manner that we enter into an auto-pilot non thinking mode whenever anyone even hints that this is what is occurring - and in this way the real agenda remains hidden.
@ truthseekeraz: Thank you.
It takes much courage to stand for the defenseless amoung us.
You are on the "High Road."
Children have a God Given right to their Parents.
M.C.A. Bill Montgomery is just another of Arpaio's "Stooge's" jumping when Arpaio says jump.
I am a liberal, one of many who believe that there are too many wrongs that need to be fixed before we address the immigration problem. And you, you are just another lemmons behind kissing toadie.
@MotherJones @JoeArpaioFan What's wrong, does the truth hurt?
@MotherJones @JoeArpaioFan
Lol little Jaffy needs an industrial strength cleaner just for the mens room. He doesn't dare go into the ladies room.
Yes after more than five years of Budget Shortfalls, Arizona's Economy as well as other States is finally beginning to mend, thanks to President Obama overiding Bigotry.
And yes when you Deport or other wise Displace Millions of people litterally overnight as occurred back in 2007/2008 you cause massive Foreclosures no matter who owned the Dwellings!
Once this massive number of vacant Dwellings hit the then Booming Real Estate Market its "Bubble" was Burst, as Home values began to plummet many thousands more Home Owners let their Homes, or second Homes go into Foreclosure to let the Government take the Hit on the upside Down Mortgages.
Kind of a Domino Effect?!
And Hell yes Arpaio is responsible in large part for our Nations Economic Disaster.
Perhaps a Genious as your self can explain why Every Bail Out, Stimulus, Cash for Clunkers, ect. occurred since, and starting at the exact same time as the I.C.E. Deportation/Incarceration Programs in January 2008, and maybe even why the Twenty-five year period prior to January 2008 was "The Most Prosperous Time in TOTAL U.S. History?"
During "The Most Prosperous Period in our History these Un-Documented Immigrants, and their Legal Citizen Children/Families were here and we all worked Hard Together!
This is America's I.C.E.'d Economy.
@JoeArpaioFan @MaskedMagician1967
Employers are the ones providing the I-9 form to the immigrants and it is the employer's responsibility to verify the information is correct. Or are you not familiar with the Immigration Reform and Control Act, signed by President Ronald Reagan on 11/6/1986?
@Steve70 Agreed. Most thinking people cannot align with either party anymore - maybe if they are single issue voter only. So truthseeker can play the 2 card monti with his labels forever, thereby functioning as troll for 2 party failed joke system. People aren't that stupid anymore. Stop being a troll, truthseeker. Throwing the R & D names around merely stifles thought, discussion and truth.
@JoeArpaioFan @MaskedMagician1967
You speak with forked tongue. It sucks when families are destroyed over arrests. The main problem is that the mentally ill old man arrests Latinos based on a civil offense. If the feds (since identities are governed exclusively by the federal government) were truly interested in goingafter immigrants, the SSA and the IRS would be prosecuting them to the full extent of the law.
@MaskedMagician1967 What's wrong, truth hurt? How many times have I heard you say you feel sorry for American citizen kids who have lost their parents to an arrest or do you only feel sorry for those little anchor babies?
@JoeArpaioFan @DNichols Does two Bush wars on a credit card ring a bell??
@john04301 he hasn't deported enough.
@DNichols Thanks to Obama, this country is on the verge of collapse.
In 2008 Mesa Arizona was dubbed "The Epicenter of Foreclosures in America."
This was due to a "Mass Excodus" of Hispanic's, as a direct result of the then new E-verify Law, and I.C.E. Deportation/Incarceration Programs.
Many fled before Arpaio could steal their Hard Earned possesions.
Arpaio used the Funds stolen from Hispanics for thi9ngs such as Massive Amusement Park Parties for his Deputies, ect.
Since Mesa Arizona had the Highest rate of Foreclosures in our Nation, President Obama visited Mesa's Dobson High School to assure Arizona of his concern, and massive Mortgage Assistance Programs that were coming to the rescue.
This Is our I.C.E.'d Economy, and No Banking System in the World could have withstood Tens of Thousands of Vacated Dwellings in such a short period of Time!
But hey lets blame it on "Evil Wall Street Bankers" for a Government Policy Change that sank them?!
Ejoy our lack of "Sane"Immigration Reform Ballooning National Deficit.
Perhaps J-John you should Wake up to reality?
P.S. MCA Bill Montgomery is just another Arpaio "Lap Dog."
@DNICOLAS Its my understanding obama deported 1.5 million illegal immigrants over the past 3 years of which a lot of them were hardend criminal's. If its your belief that deporting 1.5 million illegal immigrants over the buying power of 300 million citizens cause the great reccesion, well then maybe you should put the bottle down and go to a meeting .

The necklace measures 18"L x 3/8"W and the bracelet measures 8"L x 3/8"W. Both secure with a ball clasp. The earrings have butterfly backs. Includes a wooden display box.
Part of the Far East Market Collection. Do not use jewelry cleaners to clean, use warm water. Put jewelry on last after hair products, make up and perfume. Cultured pearls may have pit marks. Size, color and lengths may vary. Actual amount of freshwater cultured pearls may vary. All weights pertaining to diamond weights are minimum weights. Additionally, please note that many gemstones are treated to enhance their beauty. Click here for important information about gemstone enhancements and special care requirements.
Earring Back Types
Butterfly Back: A double looped piece resembling a butterfly that fits over a post. Variations on this design are called push back clasps. The basic post and butterfly back are usually used for stud earrings and lighter weight drop earrings.
Hinged Snap Backs: This clasp features a hinged post that snaps into a groove on the back of the earring. It is commonly found on hoops. Sometimes the hinged post is curved to provide more room to fit around the ear, sometimes called a saddleback.
Hook Backs: This earring backing is simply a long, bent post that fits through the piercing. Hooks have several variations, most notably the shepherd's hook and the French hook. While thin wire hooks reduce the weight of long earrings, making them more comfortable, they aren't as secure as other clasp styles.
Lever Back: A hinged lever snaps shut against the curved post to form a closed loop around the ear lobe. This clasp is very secure and good for large or medium sized styles that drop just below the ear.
Omega: Also called French clips, this clasp has a straight post and a looped lever. The hinged lever closes around the post and is held against the ear with pressure. The omega clasp is the most secure clasp, especially for the larger, heavier earrings.
Screw back: This backing is a slight variation of the standard post and butterfly nut back. Instead of pushing on the back, the nut twists onto the threaded post. A screw back post design is often preferred for expensive diamond stud earrings that require increased security.
Often referred to as a gift from the sea, pearl's origin has been an object of folklore throughout history. Early Chinese myths told of pearls falling from the sky when dragons fought. Ancient Persian legend said that pearls were tears of the gods. In classical times, it was believed that pearls were formed when moonbeams lit upon shellfish, while Indian mythology suggested pearls were formed when dewdrops fell from the heavens into the sea.
In truth, pearls are lustrous gems with an organic origin. They are formed inside mollusks such as oysters, clams and mussels when an irritant such as a tiny stone, grain of sand or small parasite enters the mollusk's shell. To protect its soft inner body, the mollusk secretes a smooth, lustrous substance called nacre around the foreign object. Layer upon layer of nacre coats the irritant and hardens, ultimately forming a pearl.
This process of building a solid pearl can take up to seven or eight years. Generally, the thicker the nacre becomes, the richer the "glow" of the pearl and greater its value. While pearls that have formed on the inside of the shell (called blister pearls) are usually irregular in shape and have little commercial value, those that are formed within the tissue of the mollusk are either spherical or pear-shaped and are highly sought-after for jewelry. Most pearls on the market measure 7.0-7.5mm in diameter, but can be found as small as 1mm or as large as 20mm.
Although some pearls are found naturally in mollusks (considered the most valuable), the vast majority of pearls are grown, or cultured, on pearl farms. To instigate this culturing process, a small shell bead, or nucleus, is surgically inserted into the mantle of an oyster. Despite the fact that pearls are harvested in great quantities on pearl farms, producing a quality pearl is an extremely rare event. It is estimated that half of all nucleated oysters do not survive and, from those that do, only 20 percent create marketable pearls.
Cultured and natural pearls can be distinguished from imitation pearls by rubbing them gently against the edge of a tooth. Cultured and natural pearls will feel slightly rough, like fine sandpaper, because of the texture of natural nacre. Imitations will feel quite smooth because their surfaces are merely molded or painted on smooth beads. Since nacre is organic, pearls are quite "soft" and rank only a 2.5-4.5 on the Mohs Scale. The gems are very sensitive and special care should be taken when wearing and storing them.
The value of a pearl is judged by several factors, and high-quality pearl strands should feature pearls well-matched in these factors: "orient," the lustrous iridescence that's produced when light is reflected from the nacre, should glow with a soft brilliance; the nacre's texture should be clean and smooth, absent of spots, bumps or cracks; the shape of a pearl should be symmetrical and generally the rounder a pearl is, the higher its value; and although pearls come in many different colors (depending on the environment and species of mollusk), the most favored are those that have a rose-tinted hue.
Pearls are cultured in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors. Akoya pearls are the classic round pearls found in most pearl jewelry. They are mainly grown in the waters off Japan and are found in a range of hues, including white, cream, pink and peach. Mabe pearls are grown in Japan, Indonesia, French Polynesia and Australia. They are usually flat-backed and often called blister pearls because they form against the inside shells of oysters rather than within oysters' bodies. Tahitian pearls are grown in French Polynesia and come in a range of colors, including gray and black with green, purple or rose overtones. Because of their large size and unique dark colors, they command very high prices. Also prized for their large size, white South Sea pearls are grown in Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines and other areas of the South Pacific.
Freshwater pearls come in various colors and are grown in bays, lakes and rivers primarily in Japan, China, Europe and the United States (Mississippi River). They are often irregularly shaped and less lustrous than saltwater cultured pearls, making them substantially less expensive.
Pearls have been treasured throughout ancient folklore and history. Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, considered pearls to be sacred. The Greeks prized the gems for their beauty and believed that wearing pearls would promote marital bliss and prevent newlywed women from crying. In ancient Rome, pearls were considered the ultimate symbol of wealth and status. The ancient Egyptians were buried with them and the Egyptian queen Cleopatra favored pearls immensely. It is said that while dining with Mark Anthony, she purposely dropped a pearl into her drink to demonstrate the wealth of her rule.
As early as 2000 B.C., pearls have been used as medicine in China, where it was believed to represent wealth, power and longevity. Even today, low-grade pearls are ground for use as medicine in the Orient. Arabs and Persians also believed it was a cure for various kinds of diseases, as well as insanity.
Long ago, when pearls were not cultured and thousands of oysters had to be searched for only one pearl, the gems were important financial assets, comparable in price to real estate. Some European countries even banned all but nobility from the right to wear them. Medieval knights wore them in battle as a talisman against injury, while warriors in India encrusted pearls into their sword handles to symbolize the tears that swords can bring.
Today, the pearl is a universal symbol of innocence and purity. It is the birthstone for June and is considered the traditional gift for couples celebrating their 3rd and 30th wedding anniversaries. Many believe the gem gives wisdom through experience, quickens the laws of karma and cements engagements and love relationships. It is also considered to offer the powers of wealth, protection and luck.
The largest pearl in the world is approximately 3" long and 2" wide, weighing one-third of a pound. Called the Pearl of Asia, it was a gift from India's Shah Jahan to his favorite wife, for whom he also built the Taj Mahal. Another famous pearl is called "La Peregrina," or "the Wanderer," and is considered by experts to be the most beautiful pearl in the world. Pear-shaped and measuring 1-1/2" in length, it is said that 400 years ago the pearl was found by a slave in Panama, who gave it up in return for his freedom. In 1570, the conquistadors sent the pearl to King Philip II of Spain. The pearl was passed to Mary I of England, who gave it to Prince Louis Napoleon of France, who sold it to the British Marquis of Abercon. After disappearing for a century, the pearl turned up once again in 1969 at a New York auction house. It was purchased by actor Richard Burton for his wife, Elizabeth Taylor.
Necklace & Bracelet Clasp Types
Lobster Claw Clasp: As a traditional clasp style found in bracelets and necklaces, the lobster claw is generally reserved for heavier styles that may need added strength. The closure's shape is more oblong, similar to a teardrop shape, and is controlled by a tip that opens and closes the spring in the clasp. This type is also considered a more expensive finding that can add to the overall value of the jewelry piece.
Magnetic Clasp: The popularity of the magnetic clasp has greatly increased in recent years. It is a quick and easy way to secure jewelry while not having to fuss with a tiny clasp, which can be difficult if you have long fingernails, arthritic hands or other mobility challenges. A magnetic clasp relies on a strong internal magnet that works to pull both ends of the clasp together. In most cases, a magnetic clasp is used for light to medium weight jewelry pieces that do not put excessive stress on the magnet.
Slide Insert Clasp: This type of clasp is exactly as it sounds. With a box-like shape that is hollow on the inside, the wearer will slide the nearly-flat tab into the box until it clicks, indicating a secure closure. On some jewelry, a slide insert clasp will be accompanied by a side safety catch, which adds strength and security to the clasp. Although this type of clasp is found on both bracelets and necklaces, it is particularly popular on bracelet styles. These types of clasps are often reserved for more expensive jewelry.
Spring Ring Clasp: One of the most common closure types, the spring ring clasp is typically used for light to medium weight bracelets or necklaces. It is round in its design and features a small tip which controls the opening and closing of the spring. The circle then closes around another smaller loop or link at the other end of the strand.
Toggle Clasp: A toggle clasp is a narrow piece of metal, usually designed in the shape of a bar, which is then pushed through a circular ring to act as a fastener. Unlike the lobster claw or spring ring clasps, a toggle clasp is not controlled by a spring. The pretty design is less secure than other closure types, but is usually meant to be a big part of the design and is meant to "show". The clasp is an attractive way to secure a chunkier link bracelet or necklace.

EAST PEORIA, Ill. -- Some East Peoria residents say they have seen a big cat roaming their neighborhood and it's no house pet.
Charles Pierman photographed the animal in his backyard last month using a trail camera. Pierman lives on Star Rim Drive.
One of his neighbors said there have been at least two other sightings over the past year. Pierman contacted Forest Park Nature Center and said they indicated the animal could be a bobcat.
"The (person at the) nature center said they've seen an increase in them along the Illinois River," said Pierman. "And of course we're not too far from the river, so its fairly logical they could be along the East Peoria bluff."
Pierman is also waiting to hear back from the Department of Natural Resources about the animal.
A neighbor says he's afraid to let his dog out at night because of the sightings.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
A very exciting and fun route and one of the best face climbs anywhere. Bring gear for the crack on the third pitch. There are just enough bolts to make the climbing sane, but a fall in a number of places could be bad news. Make sure both leader and follower are solid 5.10 climbers as the traverse at the end of pitch one is serious for both. The 2nd and 3rd pitches are easily linked and in fact recommended.
Bolts and a small rack consisting of nuts and cams up to 3". Bring quickdraws and a few longer slings as well.

The professional angler was expecting to be welcomed by a few people on a chilly morning.
That's not what he got.
"There were volunteers everywhere," said Christie, who is from Oklahoma. "You roll in and there are usually a few volunteers. At Smith Lake there were about 30 at the boat ramp. People were parking you and getting you back and forth to the lake. They just did an outstanding job."
Christie's view was common among the hundreds of anglers who competed in the Walmart FLW Tour Event held on the lake last week. The four-day tournament wrapped up Sunday with the final weigh-in at Walmart. Christie finished in fourth place overall, three spots behind wire-to-wire winner Brent Ehrler.
"Towns like this make it fun to go fishing," Christie said. "It's Alabama. People know their fishing and they come out to support the tournaments. It reminds me a lot of home."
The FLW Tour was at Smith Lake for the first time in five years.
Ray Shiede, of Dover, Ark., said he always looks forward to competing in the state.
"This rivals the best places we've been as far as community support goes. What a great area.
"Alabama is always great to come to," said Shiede, who also spoke at Cordova High School last week. "The people you meet in the morning want to have you over for dinner that night. I love coming to Alabama. They have the friendliest people you will ever meet. It's always fun to come here, especially when you make the top 10."
Tournament director Bill Taylor expects a return visit to the lake.
"We have to come back," Taylor said. "It's been a great event. The local support from the county, the city and the folks at Walmart has been incredible. They've got my vote. I think the southern small-town atmosphere here is great. The people respect the sport of fishing. They love their lake. They love their county and they love their country. What else could you want out of a community. They've got my vote."
Taylor has high praise for Linda Lewis, president of the Chamber of Commerce of Walker County.
"I've done events all over the United States, from New York to California. Her organizational skills along with her leadership in the community as the president of the chamber is phenomenal. This is her community and she loves it," Taylor added.
Lewis was first contacted by the FLW Tour last year about hosting a tournament at Smith Lake.
She didn't need long to give a reply.
"They asked if we would like to host the event. I said, 'Yes. We would love to,' and it happened," she said. "After that, we immediately start planning. It's a huge undertaking and it's a true partnership with everybody involved. It takes many, many people a lot of hours of working to bring this all together. My hat is off to my volunteers."
Lewis and her volunteers also put in countless hours once the event began.
"A typical day for myself and my volunteers (last week) has us getting up at around 2:45 in the morning. We are the first people there and the last to leave. It's long hours, but I will tell you what, it's well worth it. When you can come out and see the crowds at the weigh-ins and you see these anglers that are buying gas and eating at our restaurants and shopping local — there is a great return on investment by bringing these tournaments here.
"I can't wait to see when it's televised. A total of 559 million viewers will be watching Walker County and Smith Lake. You can't put a price on that."
Last week's tournament marked the third FLW Tour event since 2001. The tour also competed on Smith Lake in 2008.
"I think they will be back," Lewis said. "You heard the testimony of these anglers. They want to come back. They love it."
Professional angler Zell Rowland, who placed sixth in last week's event, agrees.
"This area is terrific. The people are great and the crowds are great. I think FLW will definitely be back," Rowland said.

Indian tariffs high, says US official
Our Bureau
Chennai , Jan. 9
INDIAN customs duties are high and the peak rate of 32 per cent is the highest in Asia, Dr Abdul Quader Shaikh, Regional Coordinator for Africa, Middle East and South Asia, International Trade Administration, US Department of Commerce, said here on Monday. Speaking on `WTO and Trade Issues' at a meeting, jointly organised by the Office of Public Affairs, US Consulate General in South India and the Indo-American Chamber of Commerce, Dr Shaikh said that tariff rates in the US were among the lowest in the world a fact that is reflected in the huge trade deficit that US runs.
When pointed out that India's stand was that one should not see what the Indian customs duties are today without taking into account how far they have been brought down over the years, Dr Shaikh said "we are living in a contemporary world."
Dr Shaikh said that `Africa Growth and Opportunities Act' of the US, passed in 2000, was a big help to the African countries who could export to the US duty-free.
Mr G. Srikanth, a chartered accountant, whose firm provides advisory services on anti-dumping cases, pointed out that the US gives its 25,000-odd cotton farmers an annual subsidy of $4 billion, against the farmers' annual cost of production of $3 billion.
He said the subsidy depresses the world prices of cotton, putting into peril the very livelihood of 11 million cotton farmers in Africa.
Responding to this, Dr Shaikh said the US had agreed to do away with the subsidy in 2006. He said studies had shown that US subsidies were not hurting African cotton business. There were a whole lot of other issues, he said, such as marketing the products.
Answering a question, Dr Shaikh said that the about 60 per cent of cases initiated against the US under WTO's `dispute settlement mechanism' went against the US.

WhatsApp is one of the most popular multi-platform apps out there. This service allows you to write your friends text messages all day without having to pay a single cent, since it works via WiFi (or 3G if you're on the go). Everyone has it and those who don't, want it. Today we're featuring Android for beginners and will be concentrating on this application's installation woes. Here are 5 common problems that many users run into and how to solve them!
Help! I have a problem with WhatsApp! Here are the solutions!
1. I can't install WhatsApp.
In order to download WhatsApp, you need to have a smarpthone that has Android 2.1 or higher (check in your phone's settings, under the title ''About device'').
Installing WhatsApp on a tablet without Root or 3G
If you have a tablet that only works with WiFi, you aren't usually able to install WhatsApp. However, this is something that can easily be resolved. This is a word of caution: playing around with things that aren't normally allowed is at your own risk. All you need for this is another telephone in your reach and a telephone number.
Install Go Contacts EX and this application will present a telephone repertoire on your tablet. Install WhatsApp Messenger and as soon as it asks you to verify, enter your mobile number and wait until you receive an SMS. The next step is to take the call on the phone and enter the code that you hear on your tablet. That's it!
I didn't get the activation code.
WhatsApp has now sent a message to the phone number that you communicated with your activation code. This allows you to get started with the service. It's very important to add the exact country code. The latest version of this application will normally be able to recognize your location and will then add the code automatically.
If you don't receive the code, WhatsApp will call you to transmit a new code.
2. Connection problems
Most of the time this problem will depend on your 3G connection or the network connection that WhatsApp is trying to use. If you aren't able to send a message, here are a few tips:
- The simplest solution: turn on your phone.
- You might need to install the latest version of the app from Google Play because the one you have is outdated.
- Check your internet connection, WiFi or 3G (under Settings, then Wireless and Network).
- Make sure that a ''Task Killer'' hasn't been activated (a third-party application that will help save energy by shutting down applications ).
- Empty the cache (Settings > Applications > WhatsApp)
- Erase the files (same route as described above)
- Finally, the most extreme solution: uninstall the application (same route) and reinstall it.
3. WhatsApp doesn't recognize my contacts.
Some contacts from your friends or family list might be hidden. Make sure that they are in visible mode.
Block contacts
This is necessary if you've shared your phone number accidentally via Twitter (this happened to a ''friend''). To block your contacts, all you need to do is go to menu, then contacts, then block. You can add all the contacts you want to this black list and then you won't receive any more of their messages.
If you've made peace with your blocked contacts, then you just go back to the same place and choose ''unblock''.
The ''Double Check''
This is something that personally bothers me a lot. I don't always want to people to know if I've read their messages! It's also confusing whether or not the double check-marks mean that the message was received or read. WhatsApp allows iPhone users to hide the fact that you've read an article in order to avoid conflicts. I can't wait until they add this feature to Android.
4. Deleting your WhatsApp account on Android
If you feel like you can't separate yourself from Android, well then you can just delete it. If you do make the decision to cut ties with WhatsApp, you might not be able to re-download later on with that number. In order to delete it for good, you simply go to the WhatsApp app, then menu, settings, account information and delete account.
5. Paying your dues to WhatsApp
Unlike many might realize, WhatsApp is a fake-free app. When you register, you'll be asked to pay after a little while. Everyone ignores this detail until they start getting the first warnings threatening to shut down the account if a hasty payment isn't made. Well, as it seems, you will have to fork over some dough if you plan on using it over a longer period of time.
One year will cost you $0.99 US and there are three different payment possibilities: Paypal, Google Wallet and sending a payment link.
- The first will give you the option via your navigator to pay with your Paypal account if you have one or by credit card.
- The second pertains to your Google Wallet account, for which you can subscribe for easier app purchasing (you will need to give Google your bank account information).
- The third one will send you a purchase link via email.
And there you have it! These are just some of the most current problems that users might be having with WhatsApp. For those who have more questions, the forum is a great wealth of information, made exactly for the purpose of asking questions and receiving informed answers from your fellow AndroidPIT members.

We've been loving plants sick lately - in the house, on the house, around the house, instead of the house…. you get the picture. Here's some beautiful visual inspiration to get you vegetated or reinvigorate your space with some green- and best of all, it's good for you too!
Plants filter harsh airborne toxins and pollutants that emanate from the inside out, result from cooking, cleaning, living, appliances and all that… can you tell we're keen on plants!?
A terrarium is a great start to introducing plants to your home, and they're so easy to make and maintain. Nothing says simplicity like shoving a plant in a glass jar and ignoring it! All you need it a jar/bottle/light bulb/ whatever you can find and some moss, charcoal and an indoor plant, layer them up and stick the lid on.
Additionally, (and cross-promotionally… you take what you can) this ties in well with the release of our Trees 4 Trees endorsement for our Ethnicraft range. Trees 4 Trees is an organisation that works closely with the growers and farmers of the region in Indonesia where the timber is sourced for the Ethnicraft range, ensuring sustainable practices are utilised not only in the growth and harvesting of the timber but in the management and livelihood of the local community. A worth cause! Anywhere you see the Trees 4 Trees logo on our range, this indicates that we have contributed a portion of the sales amount towards developing this social equity within these communities. So it's a win for us and a win for you! Check it out on the link above or our website.
