The Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission, comprising 30 member nations and territories, ended a five-day meeting in Manila with minor agreements to help tuna stocks recover, according to the website phys.org.
The commission had hoped to address concerns that many tuna species were being fished beyond sustainable levels in the western Pacific, a region that produces more than 50 percent of the world's tuna catch, according to the online report.
Palau fishing official Nanette Malsol said many big nations refused to cut their catch, especially of bigeye tuna, which the commission said should ideally have its catch reduced by 30 percent, according to phys.org.
"The big fishing nations did not make any significant commitments to cut their overfishing of bigeye tuna. It is the big fishing nations... that have historically overfished bigeye tuna," she said in a statement. Malsol, who also chairs the Parties to the Nauru Agreement, a coalition of small Pacific island nations, blamed the European Union, the United States, Japan and many Asian nations for taking most of the adult bigeye tuna with commercial longline fishing vessels.
Only China agreed voluntarily to cut its catch by such vessels by 10 percent, while South Korea and Taiwan both agreed to cut theirs by two percent, the report said.
Garry Leape, head of the delegation of the U.S.-based Pew Environment Group, said he welcomed some measures taken at the Philippine meeting. This included an agreement to extend to four months, a three-month annual ban on the use of "fish aggregating devices" or FADS, floating devices that lure fish, making it easier for boats to haul them in. FADS also result in commercial boats catching juvenile tuna and other species such as sharks, rays, and sea turtles.
The commission also agreed on a measure to avoid catching whale sharks in tuna nets, according to phys.org. But Leape said the country delegations were only interested in protecting their individual interests rather than working together to prevent the depletion of tuna stocks. "It seems inevitable that, given these management decisions, we will again sit down and discuss an overfished stock in an even worse state than today," he said in a statement.

Seen at the Movies:
Maybe it's a function of just being worn down by the popular, but I enjoyed Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets more than its predecessor. Despite his voice cracking, Daniel Radcliffe seems to have taken on new heft and substance in the role of Harry, and the film overall is more absorbingly dark-toned. At 160 minutes, it's way too long in a manner that feels like directorial dawdling (the culprit is Chris Columbus). But I didn't get nearly as restless during this installment as during Sorcerer's Stone. (Kids may be another matter, but given the sanctity of J.K. Rowling's books, I doubt it.)
Harry Potter in the Chamber of Secrets
Technically, the film--shot like the first at Leavesden Studios in the UK--is really top-drawer. Under DP Roger Pratt's guidance, the images alternately have more sparkle and mood than they did when John Seale was at the helm. Stuart Craig's production design of the Hogwarts school expands on the first film's into some very atmospheric nether regions, including the titular chamber, which at 250' x 120' is the biggest Harry Potter set yet created. Lindy Hemming's costumes are delightfully wizardly, peaked caps and all. Most spectacular of all are the 950 effects shots, completed mostly at Industrial Light and Magic under Jim Mitchell and Nick Davis' supervision. The movie is packed with likable and/or scary creatures, such as Dobby the House Elf (compared by some to Jar-Jar Binks, but not nearly as annoying), Fawkes the Phoenix, the giant spider Aragog, and the Basilisk, a truly fearsome serpent. Credit creature and makeup effects supervisor Nick Dudman for the latter two, in particular.
Dobby the House Elf
Though it's better executed than in the first film, I could still do without the requisite Quidditch match, which—call me vanilla—is just too frantic and violent for my taste. And Kenneth Branagh, cast as the dandyish Professor Gilderoy Lockhart, the most prominent new character, strains for vaguely campy effects and falls flat. Other actors, like Maggie Smith and Alan Rickman, aren't given enough to do, and Richard Harris, repeating his role as Hogwarts headmaster Professor Dumbledore, looks alarmingly frail. Harris, who recently died, will have to be replaced in the next chapter, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, which won't be out until summer 2004. Director Alfonso Cuaron (A Little Princess, Y Tu Mama Tambien) takes over the reins from Columbus, which is a good thing—maybe he can carve some of the franchise's fat.--John Calhoun
Seen Off Broadway: You can describe the Classic Stage Company revival of Ghosts in two words: monochromatic and speedy. This is the fastest Ghosts ever--it barely runs 90 minutes. It's an unhelpful approach; the actors are forced into making lightning-quick emotional shifts, which earn unwanted laughter from the audience. Also unhelpful is Lanford Wilson's overly colloquial translation, which has these 19th-century characters using words like "supportive." The cast is accomplished, including Amy Irving as Mrs. Alving, Daniel Gerroll as Pastor Manders, and David Patrick Kelly, as eccentric as ever as Engstrand, but nobody does his or her best work here.
Grayish on grayish in Ghosts
As for the design—well, everything matches, I guess. The costumes are grayish, the walls are grayish, the lighting is grayish. Christine Jones's oppressive setting consists of a deck and a wall; the latter has a window through which we see constantly pouring rain, with a bright burst of sunlight for the final moments. Scott Zielinski's lighting does nothing to ease the pallor onstage. Kaye Voce's costumes are both handsome (for Irving, Gerroll, and Kelly) and more than a little bizarre; Irving's bohemian son appears to get his clothes from the Banana Republic Scandinavian collection. Eric Shim provided music and sound. In my memory, there's never been a successful production of Ghosts in New York. Hope springs eternal, I guess.
Bewilderness is a glorified comedy act starring Bill Bailey, who is apparently quite popular on the BBC. This self-described "1984 Michael Bolton look-alike regional finalist" has a remarkably light touch and, when he is busy observing Anglo-American cultural contrasts, can be very funny. Highlights include his take on the oddness of American visa applications, his concept of heavy-metal children's theatre, and his definition of what it means to be British, or as he puts it, "conditioned for a life just short of pleasure." Nevertheless, Bailey overstays his welcome, wasting time on more mundane topics—such as George Bush's boneheadedness—which have been worked to death by Leno, Letterman, O'Brien, et. al. Furthermore, one hour and 45 minutes is far too long for what is only an evening of random observations. Matt Maraffi's set, an arrangement of sails and picture frames, is almost laughably generic, but Josh Monroe's lighting and Gregory Kostroff's sound get the job done. I must add that people all around me were delighted from beginning to end, so you may count this as a minority report.--David Barbour
Seen in Orlando: Anyone wondering why Mike Collins of Stage Equipment and Lighting in Orlando was not seen at LDI this year might be interested to know that he was performing the role of The Boy's Father in the Mad Cow Theatre Company's production of The Fantasticks. Stepping on the other side of the lights was something Collins enjoyed doing; in fact, the Orlando Weekly wrote, "In the hands of lesser actors, the parts of The Boy's Father and The Girl's Father can come off as mere caricatures. But Mike Collins and Sam Hazell bring subtle nuances to the foolish old men." And the Orlando Sentinel said, "Mike Collins and Sam Hazell make a sidesplittingly funny pair of fathers." Hats off to Collins!--Ellen Lampert-Gréaux

Executive editor

Each week throughout the season, PFW executive editor and resident Packers expert Dan Arkush hooks up with a personality who has connections with the Packers and asks him five Packer-related questions. This week, Dan connects with ex-Packers OG Aaron Taylor. Currently a football analyst for CBS College Sports, Taylor played for the Packers from 1994-97, including the team's last two Super Bowl participants.
1. To what extent are you able to keep up with the current Packers team?
Taylor: I watch what I can when I can. For the majority of the year, unfortunately, their season is my season, and Sunday is usually a travel day for me. I can only see highlights and the sports shows. But the opportunities I've been able to see them, I have been really impressed. They remind me a lot of our (last) Super Bowl teams, with the same kind of aggressive defense with great playmakers and the same kind of quarterback, who is a flat-out difference maker, whether it's with his hands or legs.
2. Do you have any special memories of the Super Bowl XXXI victory over New England that you played in back in January 1997?
Taylor: I remember getting ready for the game. I think Don Beebe and Jim McMahon were the only guys on the team with prior Super Bowl experience, and they both said the pregame hype would be like nothing you had ever felt before. The guys were all so excited, but they suggested we try to save our energy a little bit, and I found that to be very helpful. Desmond Howard played great, and so did Brett (Favre). Reggie White had the big late sacks, But the thing that was really unique to me was that, in every other game I had ever played, there was always something else left to be done. But that was only time in my football experience where, when the game ended, I was just sitting at the top of the mountain along with of my teammates. It was a surreal experience with all that confetti coming down, I'll tell you that!.
3. What was it like one year later being on the losing end of the Super Bowl to the Broncos?
Taylor: It was like going from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows. There were a lot of tears in the locker room after that game. I think we missed a great opportunity. Denver deserved to win. We just got outcoached and outplayed. And a lot of that happened, quite honestly, because we were overconfident and thought we had been there, done that. We did not expect them to run the ball he way they did, and we were very confused offensively, trying to pick up Denver's blitzes. We were so close to achieving something so difficult — winning back-to-back Super Bowls.
4. What do you think will be the key matchup in this year's Super Bowl?
Taylor: The NFL has become a QB-driven league, and I think how Aaron (Rodgers) and Ben (Roethlisberger) perform on the biggest stage will have the biggest impact. Rodgers has been out of his mind in the month of January. But Ben is a veteran quarterback who is very hard to bring down and can hurt you in a variety of different ways. The defenses are mirror images. The key players on both teams are going to have to show up and play their best football of the year.
5. Do you have a favorite current Packer?
Taylor: I would have to say Charles Woodson. I love the aggressiveness and physicality he brings to the cornerback position. They use him so effectively; teams have to searchlight for him. He causes a lot of problems. I've always been a big fan of aggressive, old-school football, and when I see a cornerback like him filling a LB-FS-type role, I find it very fun to watch.

Nag Champa
Nag Champa is an Indian fragrance popular in incense (for those of you who didn't come of age in the 60s and 70s). It has woody notes similar to patchouli, with touches of powder, musk, amber, and vanilla. If you haven't smelled it before, you have to try it. If you know it, we think you'll love this rendition.
- Seems different
I ordered a 1 oz of the Nag Champa and was really in love. I ordered the 8 oz and it seems as if it isn't as strong. Kind of totally disappointed. I can't get a cold hot throw at all and did the exact same as when I used the 1 oz. Out of the bottle it smells amazing, but it loses all the fragrance when made into a candle. using soy 464. Bummed out!
- Strong and smells wonderful
Very strong throw, hot and cold but especially hot. I had one person tell me it smells like old ladies, but she didn't exactly grow up in a time when incense was cool. Definitely a keeper.
- Wonderful Scent/Candles
I ordered 1oz to try and wow was I in LOVE. I've come back and ordered the 8oz! I am currently making candles and have been for almost a year...and this will be my Signature Scent, I am in LOVE! I suggest you give it a try! It smells wonderful & gives a nice scent when burning.
- great smell but didn't expect THIS...
first off, I LOVE this one. I'm a big nag champa fan beyond candlemaking, I'm always stocked with the little red & blue incense boxes to keep my home smelling like nag champa.

 however, be warned... if, like me, you choose not to add a million additives and what not to your soy wax, this fragrance AND THIS ONE ALONE will color change once you burn the candle.

 a light lavender/blue color to be exact. caught me off guard the first time and yes, i could put additives and whatever to fix the problem but i like my candles to be as simple as possible without anything extra put in that might upset the breathing of the men in my house.

 the smell, of course, is AMAZING.
- Lost all scent in CP Soap
A very true Nag Champa scent however NO scent remains in my CP Soap. Only scent is a slight scent from the base oils. Only gave it 3 stars because of its great scent before using (it may be able to be used in candles, etc. just not CP soap) otherwise it would've received 1 star.
- Outstanding
Excellent! Very strong and spot on.
- Awesome scent
I didnt know what to expect when i got this scent as a sample. Immediately after i made it, i ordered a pound of it. My new fovorite scent, just brings a smile to my face whenever i smell it. Not sure how its going to sell, but i love the scent of it for myself.
- you convinced me
I was doubtful if they could capture the scent in a liquid... I burn Nag Champa all the time, so I know..... and it is a perfect match... I will use this in a deep red color candle...
- Perfect match
Smells just like the incense without the smoke! Yum!
- Marvelous, simply marvelous
I was going to write something wonderful here but find myself in the midst of a flashback.

3oz taster pour
DFH Milton, Weekend of Compelling Ales
A: Pours out pretty much pitch black. Thin layer of slightly off white head. Forms a collar around the edges of the glass. Not seeing much by way of alcohol feet, but usually hard with a glass of this size.
S: On the nose, I am getting mostly stout like character: coffee, chocolate, licorice, etc. But you do get some of that spice from the chili too. Being a fan of stouts like this, its welcomed.
T: Much like the nose, you get the traditional stout like character albeit muted. It's not over the top in chocolate or coffee being a sessionable export stout. On that back end of the palate, you get that little hint of those chili. Just nice warm and tingle. I enjoyed this one.
M: It's a medium leading to full. It's nicely carbonated and with the lower ABV it doesn't feel as thick as it is.

Exclusive on tap at the brewpub
Pours black with a tan lacing for a head.
Smells of cocoa, roasted coffee beans and brown sugar.
Flavor is of coffee, cocoa, and a hint of vegetable bitterness and chile spiciness. Also some cinnamon.
Medium body with a light tingle of carbonation mixed with a mild spicy sting.
A good enjoyable stout with an added flair of chile spice. Not fantastic, but better than average and worth having if you can get it while it's on tap.

On tap at the Rehoboth Beach pub, served in pint glass. Beer is black with a thin tan head of small bubbles. Aroma is a little sweet a little spicy, the peppers come through nicely in the aroma. Some roast some malt. The beer isn't as spicy / chipotle as the aroma would lead you to believe and this is a good thing. It is mildly sweet, a little dry on the finish, a nice beer, I enjoyed it. I would even have it again.

On cask during Flying Saucer Raleigh's 11th anniversary served in a tulip glass a deep opaque black with a thin slowly diminishing light tan head that leaves decent lacing on the glass. Aroma is lemon peel, pepper, and a bit of cocoa. The taste is a nice blend of sweet malts, spice and just a touch of dark malts, very interesting for such a dark beer. The beer is quite light and crisp with smooth carbonation. This is a great saison, if I were blind, I would think this was a regular saison.

Had a few samples of this last night at a gathering of beer geeks.Poured a deep ruddy brown with a fairly large blooming off white head that left broken chunks of lace behind as it settles slowly.Phenols mainly in the nose along with a sour tinge,phenols were a bit more in check on the palate with that lactic sherry vinegar flavor coming into play but not overpowering.There is a decent shot of dark bread and bitter chocolate to round out a pretty complex flavor profile.Its not bad,I had low expectations but I actually kinda liked the beer.

22oz brown bomber with no freshness date.
LOOK: Big foamer, dark chestnut
SMELL: Dried plums, vegtal, rye spice, yeast, toffee, estery, faint citrus
TASTE: Plumy, spicy, broth, faint charcoal, moderate hop bitterness, yeast, vegtal, dried grass, spicy rye, semi-dry finish
Sort of a mish-mush of flavors that don't seem to meld well together. Not really dry and crisp enough for the Saison tag and the dark character is sort of the odd flavor out. Decent but sort of a weird brew.

22 ounce bomber bottle, side project #14. No freshness/bottling date info to be had.
Pours basically black, under a large dark tan head, that stays, goes to a frothy cap and ample sheeting, stringy lace, and still a thicker, tiny bubble sheen.
The nose is loaded with one note and that is brightly lemon.
Tasty saison, its black but it doesnt taste it. Roast notes are not evident. Some pepper, more lemony citrus, some earthyness. Better then moderate hoppy crunch late.
Well done, I enjoyed it, well worth a try.

The beer pours a dark brown to black color with a tan head. The aroma has a lot of dark fruit and Belgian yeast notes, as well as some pepper and some light cocoa. The flavor is similar. The dark fruit and cherries come through up front, with some yeast, lemons, orange and caramel malt also being present. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

A: Poured into a pint glass, this brew pours almost a pitch black with a tan head that is about 3 fingers thick, but doesn't have the balls to hold up after the last sip.
S: The aroma actually smells like a good Saison. A yeasty Belgium spice and cloves. This brew has a good herbalness to it that one would inspect.
T: The flavor is like a cross between a BSDA and a Saison. Don't be fooled by the darkness, this brew is not as strong as it looks. More herbal notes and Belgium spice, but not enough complexity to satisfy the pallet.
MF: Mouthfeel is average at best, this brew has no body...I thought this was Belgium inspired?
D: Drinkability is meh....this is an average brew.
Overall, if this brew was on tap, I wouldn't mind it. It is crafty, but off for the style. I would have keep the strong spice notes in this brew, added a dab of chocolate malt with dark fruit (figs and raisin) notes and turned this into a bad ass BSDA.

On-tap at the Brick Store.
Pours a hazy dark brown color with purple highlights and a one-finger light tan head. The head recedes into a thin layer on top leaving decent lacing.
Smells of a combination of pale, toasted, and roasted malts with hints of dryer black malts. Also present are grassy hops, medium fruit aromas, and indistinct spices.
Tastes similar to how it smells, though more muddled. Dark malt flavors with light roast kick things off and are joined quickly by medium fruits - green apples with hints of pears. What little roast flavors there are intensify through to the middle of the sip before being overtaken by grassy and lightly earthy hops. The hops and dark malts carry through to a crisp ending.
Mouthfeel is OK. It's got a nice thickness with somewhat overactive carbonation.
Drinkability is also OK. I didn't have a problem finishing my glass however I'm not sure about another.
Overall this is one of the more disappointing beers I've had from Terrapin. If a dark saison is a beer that Fantome has trouble making good then there isn't a lot of hope for others. I don't think attempting a beer in this style did Terrapin any favors and I still look forward to the next SP.

so, this beer hits it straight home. Its almost like a fucking stupid trick...black=malt bitterness (stupid people strong) because it is so dark you expect it to leave that bitterness on the palette...well...ITS A BLACK HEFEWIZEN!!! not really...its a farmhouse terd...delicious, farty, earthy, hefewizen'ry, fucking good.
This beer reminds me of having this beer....its one of a kind. Terrapin is one of my favorite breweries of all time (not bias). Stone sublimely self righteous {same category of awesomeness}
I recommend this beer....to people who like beer!!!

A- Pours a dark black color with a nice light tan head with great retention and lacing.
S- At first whiff, the aroma has a lot of the spices and fruity esthers that I enjoy out of a regular saison. However, the background features some faint roasted malts that support the dark color.
T- The taste has some roastiness up front with spices and a Belgian fruity characteristic as well. The finish has some more roasted malts along with some Belgian yeast. The taste almost reminds me of a cross between a saison, tripel and a dry stout. Not bad, I just feel the different flavors tend to clash and don't mesh particularly well.
M- The mouthfeel is is medium bodied with a good amount of carbonation.
D- Overall, this one was interesting to try but it didn't quite work the way I was hoping. Not bad though, worth a try.

Picked up a bomber for $8.25 from Abe's Cold Beer. Yeah, this is a bit of a disappointment. There's a hint of mild farmhouse spice in the aroma and flavor, but overall the character is surprisingly bland. Hops provide a light, earthy lemon, but where is the malt? I get a little cocoa, but the grains seem lost. I'm not sure what went wrong here (I usually love Terrapin beers!). There are some fine elements, and it improves at cellar temp, but the balance seems to be off and overall the flavor is dull. Ah well.

One of of my few bottles I brought back from NC
Pours mahogany with 3 fingers of caramel colored head. Crazy head retention & lacing
S: Dirty & funky with pear notes, plus green apple skins up front
T: Some chcoclate notes mingle with pears & green apple & spicy notes & dryness up front. Some carob notes mingle with a touch of green peppercorn with lemons & green apple, plus hay notes once warm. Finishes with some earthy notes, peppery & boozey pear notes & green apple skins
MF: Medium bodied, firm carbonation & crisp
This really wowed me, Terrapin I wish you distributed near-by...

It very much resembles a porter. Dark brown color but thinner in texture. It has a very generous sand colored head.
The smell is banana, phenolic funk and roasted malt. It's muted and hard to pick up.
The taste is almost all that band-aid phenolic flavor, and it stays through the aftertaste. The malt doesn't show up much in the flavor, nor does it have a funky tartness that some saisons tend to have.
Mouthfeel has good body and decent carbonation.
This beer just isn't true to style and it doesn't work well for a dark saison, either. The dark malt isn't very prevalent, so it doesn't add that extra dimension that I'm guessing they intended to. On the other hand, absent of the malt, it doesn't work well for a regular saison either.

Another Terrapin side project! Very excited.
A - Pours a nearly opaque black with a two finger tan head. Leaves very little lacing.
S - Smell is similar to a normal saison. Spicy and fruity. But a coffee smell is in the nose as well and I'm not sure it works.
T - Taste follows the nose. Fruity and spicy as you would expect from a saison but there is just a slight coffee/chocolate tinge to the taste throughout. Very unique.
M/D - Mouthfeel is a little more full than a normal saison. Drinkability is slightly lower because of the thicker mouthfeel.
An interesting and very unique brew from my favorite brewery. I can't say that I would seek it out again but I enjoyed it.

22oz bottle:
The beer pours cola black in color with a fluffy tan head that dissipated too quickly, but left a faint ring of the head, no lacing to note.
The beer gave off a lighter Belgian yeast aroma with a very light hint of spice. This is certainly not what I expected from a Saison style beer.
The taste of the beer, I thought, was more of a dry stout with a slight Belgian kick. The taste of the beer was good, but again, not what I expected.
The beer had a lighter feel to it and is smooth.
Overall this beer really just does not work for me. It needs more of a spice kick to it and it needs to have more of a heavier mouthfeel. After this Side Project, I am tiring of them, as they typically are solid B's, but I guess what I expected from the line were beers that were high quality representations of the style. I probably would not recommend this beer to those who like Belgian beers.

22 oz. Dark black pour, large and lasting off white head. Just barely stuck to the glass.
Aroma, yeast and pumpernickel bread. Some earth, very faint fruitcake, pepper.
Taste, toasted malt, yeasty clove and light red fruit, bannana up front. Roast, anise, pepper stings the finish. Faintest hops.
Lively carbonation keeps this going down easy. I just wish there was a little less clove.
Quite interesting but not quite as nice as the Stillwater dark Saisons I've tried. Nicer price than those however.

A- Black body with a creamy tan head
S- Yeasty, spicy, herbal hops, some citrus notes in there too
T- Citrusy/floral hops from the start, some spices in the middle and finishes with a touch of bitterness I'd expect from a saison
M- Light/medium body, seems lacking
D- Not a bad beer, but if I were in the mood for a saison, I would turn to others first. If I wanted something on the lighter end I could see myself coming back to this (trippy that it's light since it's such a dark body)

- Labeled as a black saision, project vol. 14.
A: A dark cola exit from the bottle becomes a dense black in the chalice. Erupting with possible aid from a wild Belgian yeast was a aggressive head, a rigid foam structure dark khaki in color, that stood a prominent 3 fingers high. The head remains constant for a good time all the while shellacking the glass with a generous offering of film coating. Labeled as a black saison, im guessing this has to qualify for decent results as it's the first im experiencing such a twist on this style.
S: Soft musky tones fill the nostrils, aided in part by a soft touch of Schwarz like dark malts, just enough to let you be aware of its presence. In turn it adds a newt twist and touch to a style but in return may take a bit away from the wild belgain yeasty quality that also defines the style. Moist wheat bread, stale graininess but again missed the defining sour fruitiness that I come to expect and enjoy.
T: The flavor brought out more of the sour and spicy fruitiness then the nose led on. Spicy flavor with a soft fruitiness of pineapple and apricots brings a surprising zesty tingle to the taste buds. Soft Schwarz like roastiness settles back here and lets some of the sour fruitiness come out to play, albeit maybe with a little restraint. Spicy fruity and citrus comes alive on the swallow with a soft muskiness but was overall fairly sharp and well defined.
M: Tight bubbly carbonation carbonation brings a lively tingle that sticks around. Malty body with soft roasted tones that warm the inner cheeks.
D: Not a summer time quencher sasion like a bullfrog peche saison, but rather is more at home as a early spring drink or cool weather offering. In general the overall marriage comes as good as can be expected, giving in some areas, but surpressing in others, but overall comes out unique with enough quality that is worthy of a try.

There are some boundaries that should not be crossed, even though it seems relatively easy to cross them. Making a black saison is one of those boundaries. Apparently, this beer was quite the fast seller at my local beer shop, and I cannot account for its popularity. I found its taste to be sharp, sour, and sweaty-burnt... this is an acrid, unbalanced, and unnecessary beer. When I think of the saison this might have been, before those malts were added... sigh.

Poured a dark black opaque color from the bottle with a light tan head of about one finger. Smell is very intriguing with a an enticing mix of yeastiness, spiciness and roasted malts. Spicy taste initially with a strong roasted malt backbone. Feel is very dry and has a medium body with ample carbonation. Overall a very interesting beer that I think satisfies as a Saison but brings the interesting roasted malt flavors. Definitely one I would recommend if for no other reason than to satisfy curiosity.

COVINGTON, La. - Covington police are investigating the armed robbery of a pizza delivery company early Monday morning.
The robbery happened an about 1 a.m. on Collins Boulevard. Investigators said two men waited for the staff to leave the closed business and robbed them at gunpoint. Both men were armed with silver, semi-automatic handguns equipped with laser sights. After taking a small amount of money, the suspects fled on foot.
Covington police contacted the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office and asked for a K-9 unit to be dispatched. Covington officers and sheriff's deputies then tracked the suspects, but soon lost the scent, leading officers to believe the suspects got into a vehicle and fled the area.
The suspects are described as white males wearing ski masks, hooded sweatshirts and gloves.
Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call the Covington Police Department at (985) 892-8500, or Crimestoppers at (504) 822-1111.

Kyle Busch's fast practice speed resulted in the No. 1 starting spot for the first-ever NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Kentucky Speedway.
Busch, who already has won at Kentucky Speedway this weekend, was the fastest car in the 90-minute Cup practice earlier Friday.
And when a small storm cell came through and washed out Sprint Cup qualifying halfway through the session, practice speeds set the field – at least for the top 35 in points.
"Car's been fast," Busch said. "Look forward to starting up front and trying to keep good track position."
Others weren't so lucky. Michael Waltrip and David Stremme had made it into the race via their qualifying speeds (21 cars had already taken laps), but the rain washed out their times.
The go-or-go-home cars were determined based on the NASCAR rulebook, which put Scott Riggs and Tony Raines into the show.
Juan Pablo Montoya will start on the outside pole, followed by Kurt Busch, Kasey Kahne and Jimmie Johnson.
Brad Keselowski, Carl Edwards, David Ragan, Tony Stewart and Paul Menard rounded out the top 10.
The starting lineup was set based on the first (and only) NASCAR Sprint Cup Series practice. Here's the starting lineup for the inaugural Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway:
- Kyle Busch
- Juan Pablo Montoya
- Kurt Busch
- Kasey Kahne
- Jimmie Johnson
- Brad Keselowski

- David Ragan

Welcome back to another work week, everyone:) I've got to make this short so I can make it to my yoga class on time, but here goes.
Today ended up with a mad dash to get my story on air. BUT, I'm so happy I was able to let people know about a local volunteer firefighter battling cancer and the benefit the wonderful people of Perry County are putting together for him!
Zach Taylor is a third generation firefighter. His dad is the fire chief at his department (Anderson Township) right now, and has been for about 20 years. They are the kind of people who don't want any kind of fuss being made over them, but the community feels like they deserve some help right now as Zach battles two forms of cancer. He's in Memphis going back and forth to St. Jude's right now. His mom is with him, and dad travels back and forth while still working as much as he can.
It was so nice to so many of Zach's fellow firefighters at the fire station today. I really only needed a few to meet me for interviews, but over 10 people showed up to support Zach. One of them was even named Aaron Meyer—ha!
The benefit for Zach is January 26th at the Perry County 4-H Fairgrounds. I'm hoping they get a great turnout, and that Zach may continue to see improvements. Another firefighter said he thought Zach would be getting a break soon and would be able to come home for a little bit. That's awesome!
So nice to start the week off with a story like this—and entire community coming together to help. Even the students at the schools in Perry County are pitching in by bringing in pennies to donate. One little 3rd grade girl even donated her allowance. What a great life lesson! The 5th grade class I was with just earned a pizza party because they topped 50 dollars. When you're talking pennies, 50 bucks is a lot! (Although quarters and dollars are accepted, too!)
Ok, gotta run. Thanks for checking in! More tomorrow.
Until next time,
1115 Mt. Auburn Road

Alumni books out now: March 2012
JEAN RAE BAXTER, BEd'71, has published the third book in her historical fiction trilogy for young adults set during the American Revolutionary War. In Freedom Bound (Ronsdale Press, $11.95), the scene shifts to South Carolina and the focus turns to the Black Loyalists as the fighting ends and the evacuation of Charleston draws near.
DR. ELWIN G. UPTON, Arts'71, has published his first book The Driver's Mirror: Looking at your driving and that of others. This small manual aims to increase awareness of the many psychological issues factored into the driving experience.
M. ANN HALL, Arts/PHE '64, has written The Grads Are Playing Tonight!: The Story of the Edmonton Commercial Basketball Club (University of Alberta Press, $29.95). Between 1915 and 1940, the amazing Edmonton Grads dominated women's basketball in North America and the world. Coached by J. Percy Page, they played over 400 official games, losing only 20; they travelled more than 125,000 miles in Canada, the United States, and Europe; and they crossed the Atlantic three times to defend their world title at exhibition games held in conjunction with the Summer Olympics in Paris, Amsterdam, and Berlin. The book contains biographies of the 38 women who played for the Grads, and it is richly illustrated with over 100 archival photos. Ann is a professor emerita at the University of Alberta, and this is her third book about Canadian women's sporting history.
ALICE PETERSEN, PhD'99, will be publishing her first collection of 16 short stories, entitled All the Voices Cry (Biblioasis Press), in May. The stories begin in Canada and work their way across the Pacific, via Tahiti, to New Zealand. Alice was the 2009 winner of the Richard Adams Award, offered by the Writers' Federation of New Brunswick. Her stories, published in Geist, The Fiddlehead, Room, and Takahe, have variously been shortlisted for the Journey Prize, the Writers' Union of Canada competition, the CBC Literary awards, and the Metcalf Rooke Award. Alice lives in Montreal with her husband and two daughters. www.biblioasis.com/alice-petersen

RealPage, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries, (the "Company" or "we" or "us") is a leading provider of on demand software solutions for the rental housing industry. Our broad range of property management solutions enables owners and managers of single-family and a wide variety of multi-family rental property types to manage their marketing, pricing, screening, leasing, accounting, purchasing and other property operations. Our on demand software solutions are delivered through an integrated software platform that provides a single point of access and a shared repository of prospect, resident and property data. By integrating and streamlining a wide range of complex processes and interactions among the rental housing ecosystem of owners, managers, prospects, residents and service providers, our platform helps optimize the property management process and improves the experience for all of these constituents.
Our solutions enable property owners and managers to increase revenues and reduce operating costs through higher occupancy, improved pricing methodologies, new sources of revenue from ancillary services, improved collections and more integrated and centralized processes. As of June 30, 2013, approximately 8,700 customers used one or more of our on demand software solutions to help manage the operations of approximately 8.6 million rental housing units. Our customers include each of the ten largest multi-family property management companies in the United States, ranked as of January 1, 2012 by the National Multi Housing Council, based on number of units managed.
We sell our solutions through our direct sales organization. Our total revenues were approximately $94.5 million and $78.8 million for the three months ended, and $183.4 million and $153.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In the same periods, we had operating income (loss) of approximately $8.6 million, $(3.3) million, $10.8 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and net income (loss) of approximately $4.6 million, $(2.4) million, $5.6 million and $(0.7) million, respectively.
Our company was formed in 1998 to acquire Rent Roll, Inc., which marketed and sold on premise property management systems for the conventional and affordable multi-family rental housing markets. In June 2001, we released OneSite, our first on demand property management system. Since 2002, we have expanded our on demand software solutions to include a number of software-enabled value-added services that provide complementary sales and marketing, asset optimization, risk mitigation, billing and utility management and spend management capabilities. In connection with this expansion, we have allocated greater resources to the development and infrastructure needs of developing and increasing sales of our suite of on demand software solutions. In addition, since July 2002, we have completed 23 acquisitions of complementary technologies to supplement our internal product development and sales and marketing efforts and expand the scope of our solutions, the types of rental housing properties served by our solutions and our customer base.
Recent Acquisitions
In January 2012, we acquired substantially all of the operating assets of Vigilan, Incorporated ("Vigilan"). A provider of assisted living software-as-a-service solutions, Vigilan products allow assisted living communities to monitor and schedule detailed care, manage labor costs, provide accurate billing and maintain regulatory compliance through its comprehensive compliance module. We acquired Vigilan for a purchase price of $5.0 million consisting of a cash payment of $4.0 million and two additional cash payments of up to $0.5 million due 12 months and 24 months after the acquisition date.
In July 2012, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Rent Mine Online, Inc. ("RMO") for a purchase price which consists of a cash payment of $5.5 million at closing, a deferred payment of up to $3.5 million and a contingent deferred earn out payment of up to 300,000 shares of our common stock, payable based on the achievement of specified milestones on or before December 31, 2014. The acquisition of RMO expands our resident referral capabilities into the multifamily residential rental housing market.
In February 2013, we acquired certain assets of Seniors for Living, Inc. ("SFL"). SFL is a leading performance-based marketing company that provides senior housing communities and home care companies with industry-leading referral and marketing services to help them achieve their occupancy goals. We plan to integrate SFL with our existing senior living software solutions. We acquired SFL for a purchase price of $2.7 million which consisted of a cash payment of $2.3 million and additional cash payments of $0.2 million each due six months and 12 months after the acquisition date.
In March 2013, we acquired certain assets from Yield Technologies, Inc., including RentSentinel and RentSocial (together, "RentSentinel"). The RentSentinel software-as-a-service platform is a fully featured apartment marketing management solution for the multi-family industry. RentSocial is an apartment search service that simplifies and incorporates the social marketing platform into the process of finding an apartment. We plan to integrate RentSentinel with our existing LeaseStar product family. We acquired RentSentinel for a purchase price of $10.5 million which consisted of a cash payment of $7.6 million, issuance of 72,500 shares of our common stock and two traunches of 36,250 shares of our common stock which are issuable 12 months and 24 months after the acquisition date, respectively.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We base these estimates and assumptions on historical experience or on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances. We reconsider and evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an on-going basis. Accordingly, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.
We believe that the following critical accounting policies involve our more significant judgments, assumptions and estimates, and therefore, could have the greatest potential impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements:
• Revenue recognition;
• Fair value measurements;
• Accounts receivable;
• Business combinations;
• Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives;
• Impairment of long-lived assets;
• Intangible assets;
• Stock-based compensation;
• Income taxes; and
• Capitalized product development costs.
A full discussion of our critical accounting policies, which involve significant management judgment, appears in our Form 10-K under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates." For further information regarding our business, industry trends, accounting policies and estimates, and risks and uncertainties, refer to our Form 10-K.
Key Components of Our Results of Operations
We derive our revenue from three primary sources: our on demand software solutions; our on premise software solutions; and our professional and other services.
On demand revenue. Revenue from our on demand software solutions is comprised of license and subscription fees relating to our on demand software solutions, typically licensed for one year terms, commission income from sales of renter's insurance policies, and transaction fees for certain on demand software solutions, such as payment processing, spend management and billing services. Typically, we price our on demand software solutions based primarily on the number of units or beds the customer manages with our solutions. For our insurance based solutions, our agreement provides for a fixed commission on earned premiums related to the policies sold by us. The agreement also provides for a contingent commission to be paid to us in accordance with the agreement. This agreement provides for a calculation that considers, on the policies sold by us, earned premiums less i) earned agent commissions; ii) a percent of premium retained by our underwriting partner; iii) incurred losses; and iv) profit retained by our underwriting partner during the time period. Our estimate of our contingent commission revenue considers historical loss experience on the policies sold by us. For our transaction-based solutions, we price based on a fixed rate per transaction.
On premise revenue. Our on premise software solutions are distributed to our customers and maintained locally on the customers' hardware. Revenue from our on premise software solutions is comprised of license fees under term and perpetual license agreements. Typically, we have licensed our on premise software solutions pursuant to term license agreements with an initial term of one year that include maintenance and support. Customers can renew their term license agreement for additional one-year terms at renewal price levels.
We no longer actively market our legacy on premise software solutions to new customers, and only license our on premise software solutions to a small portion of our existing on premise customers as they expand their portfolio of rental housing properties. While we intend to support our acquired on premise software solutions, we expect that many of the customers who license these solutions will transition to our on demand software solutions over time.
Professional and other revenue. Revenue from professional and other services consists of consulting and implementation services, training and other ancillary services. We complement our solutions with professional and other services for our customers willing to invest in enhancing the value or decreasing the implementation time of our solutions. Our professional and other services are typically priced as time and material engagements.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue consists primarily of personnel costs related to our operations, support services, training and implementation services, expenses related to the operation of our data center and fees paid to third-party service providers. Personnel costs include salaries, bonuses, stock-based compensation and employee benefits. Cost of revenue also includes an allocation of facilities costs, overhead costs and depreciation, as well as amortization of acquired technology related to strategic acquisitions and amortization of capitalized development costs. We allocate facilities, overhead costs and depreciation based on headcount.
Operating Expenses
We classify our operating expenses into three categories: product development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative. Our operating expenses primarily consist of personnel costs, costs for third-party contracted development, marketing, legal, accounting and consulting services and other professional service fees. Personnel costs for each category of operating expenses include salaries, bonuses, stock-based compensation and employee benefits for employees in that category. In addition, our operating expenses include an allocation of our facilities costs, overhead costs and depreciation based on headcount for that category, as well as amortization of purchased intangible assets resulting from our acquisitions.
Product development. Product development expense consists primarily of personnel costs for our product development employees and executives and fees to contract development vendors. Our product development efforts are focused primarily on increasing the functionality and enhancing the ease of use of our on demand software solutions and expanding our suite of on demand software solutions. In 2008 and 2011, we established a product development and service center in Hyderabad, India and Manila, Philippines, respectively, to take advantage of strong technical talent at lower personnel costs compared to the United States.
Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of personnel costs for our sales, marketing and business development employees and executives, travel and entertainment and marketing programs. Marketing programs consist of amounts paid for search engine optimization ("SEO") and search engine marketing ("SEM"), renter's insurance and other advertising, tradeshows, user conferences, public relations, industry sponsorships and affiliations and product marketing. In addition, sales and marketing expense includes amortization of certain purchased intangible assets, including customer relationships and key vendor and supplier relationships obtained in connection with our acquisitions.
General and administrative. General and administrative expense consists of personnel costs for our executive, finance and accounting, human resources, management information systems and legal personnel, as well as legal, accounting and other professional service fees and other corporate expenses.
Key Business Metrics
In addition to traditional financial measures, we monitor our operating performance using a number of financially and non-financially derived metrics that are not included in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We monitor the key performance indicators as follows:
On demand revenue. This metric represents the license and subscription fees relating to our on demand software solutions, typically licensed for one year terms, commission income from sales of renter's insurance policies and transaction fees for certain of our on demand software solutions. We consider on demand revenue to be a key business metric because we believe the market for our on demand software solutions represents the largest growth opportunity for our business.
On demand revenue as a percentage of total revenue. This metric represents on demand revenue for the period presented divided by total revenue for the same period. We use on demand revenue as a percentage of total revenue to measure our success in executing our strategy to increase the penetration of our on demand software solutions and expand our recurring revenue streams attributable to these solutions. We expect our on demand revenue to remain a significant percentage of our total revenue although the actual percentage may vary from period to period due to a number of factors, including the timing of acquisitions, professional and other revenue and on premise perpetual license sales and maintenance fees resulting from our February 2010 acquisition.
Ending on demand units. This metric represents the number of rental housing units managed by our customers with one or more of our on demand software solutions at the end of the period. We use ending on demand units to measure the success of our strategy of increasing the number of rental housing units managed with our on demand software solutions. Property unit counts are provided to us by our customers as new sales orders are processed. Property unit counts may be adjusted periodically as information related to our customers' properties is updated or supplemented, which could result in adjustments to the number of units previously reported.
Non-GAAP on demand revenue. This metric represents on demand revenue adjusted to reverse the effect of the write down of deferred revenue associated with purchase accounting for strategic acquisitions. We use this metric to evaluate our on demand revenue as we believe its inclusion provides a more accurate depiction of on demand revenue arising from our strategic acquisitions.
The following provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP on demand revenue to on demand revenue, our most directly comparable GAAP financial measure:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2013 2012 2013 2012 On demand revenue $ 90,825 $ 74,938 $ 176,147 $ 145,656 Acquisition-related deferred revenue adjustment - 2 2 83 Non-GAAP on demand revenue $ 90,825 $ 74,940 $ 176,149 $ 145,739
Non-GAAP on demand revenue per average on demand unit. This metric represents non-GAAP on demand revenue for the period presented divided by average on demand units for the same period. For interim periods, the calculation is performed on an annualized basis. We calculate average on demand units as the average of the beginning and ending on demand units for each quarter in the period presented. We monitor this metric to measure our success in increasing the number of on demand software solutions utilized by our customers to manage their rental housing units, our overall revenue and profitability.
Adjusted EBITDA. We define this metric as net income (loss) plus depreciation and asset impairment; amortization of intangible assets; interest expense, net; income tax expense (benefit); stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expense, acquisition-related deferred revenue adjustments, certain litigation-related expenses and stock registration costs. We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA is useful in evaluating our operating performance because it excludes certain non-cash expenses, including depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is not determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, and should not be considered as a substitute for or superior to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, refer to the table below. Our Adjusted EBITDA grew from approximately $17.4 million and $33.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 to approximately $21.1 million and $41.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as a result of our efforts to expand market share and increase revenue.

The following tables set forth our results of operations for the specified periods. The period-to-period comparison of financial results is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Madrone estimates the trail would cost between $300 million and $400 million to build
That is a quote from the trail adviser, unlike Sims who used any person from the audience.
A railroad easement is there until the railroad is abandoned. It doesn't matter if the line has been inactive for twenty-five years or more.
The railroad is not required to use creosoted wood. Other alternatives are concrete, steel, plastic, rubber, and other wood resistant to rot.
We rail advocates understand it will be a long hard path.
With ever increasing fuel costs, there is a rising need for the railroad. The railroad can haul one ton of freight for an average of 426 miles on one gallon of fuel. A truck on the other hand hauls one ton of freight for about an average of 118 miles on one gallon of fuel. With rising tensions and population around the world, do we really want to be stuck with a less efficient transportation?
Security is of paramount importance, so ERTA promotes use of technology here. A "trail card" system with solar-powdered automated trail stations could be located at all of the approx. 15 main ERT access points from paved roads. The cards could have a proximity sensor function, so that if someone gets lost, we would know which section they last passed through. It is much easier to search 5 or10 miles than it is 162 miles. All trail users could be required to provide next of kin contacts and planned date of arrival at a given access point. There could be different types of trail cards, like single or multiple day-use as well as annual or lifetime passes, for locals or frequent users.
How many people do they really think is going to pay for trail use? Enough for $400 million in costs, not to mention maintenance costs? Does he really think anyone will use this security card, let alone MJ Growers? I'm sure DEA will not subpena the records.
BTW, NCRA said the rails, etc is theirs, and will be used for the rest of the system if this is railbanked. So if you are counting on $400 million from scrapping the relatively small amount, forget it. Also the scrap won't even add up to what they need.

It isn't as simple as people are making it out.
If I was one of the many ranchers and land owners that didn't want a trail on my property. I would make them have to invoke eminent domain. Until then, no trail can be built on your property, even if the railroad has an easement.

I will never understand it. The trees have survived road work so far. It seems that if they achieved balance after said brutal road work in the grove, they will once again achieve balance after the current project.
Larger trees have been or will be cut for the new Safeway store in Eureka. Not a peep from the enviros about that one, even after NCJ did a fine article about that one.
I also don't get how these people are fighting against the project to save Humboldt, fight against any local company that voices support for the project, against any media article that isn't 100% against the project, and ignore that it will benefit local small businesses.
Do any of you scare tactic folks understand a small business can be a corporation too?
We have many, many environmental problems out there, yet complaining about a blip in time of a project, and impact. We are spending tons on 101 from Marin north, the 7 million for RG project is just a drop in the bucket. Here's another project for $9.3 million for 101 in San Rafael in Marin.
We have the good old oil spill going on now in the Gulf, though it isn't so far the biggest spill, or the biggest environmental disaster. Fred covered a big long-lasting spill on California Land that was bigger. We are still snagging chemical munitions our government dumped off our own coast(Mustard gas). You know there is six nuclear weapons missing around the US don't you? We still have to clean up from manufacture of nuclear weapons and fuel.
What about the oil naturally leaking in the gulf, and other areas? What about the massive amount of oil in ship wrecks that will leak, or does? What about the plastic floating in the oceans?
Whole cities have been abandoned in the US due to effects of their principal mining, and other manufacturing. One city has burned for decades because the coal underneath it caught fire, from trash burning. Oops. What about the co2 from that coal-burning
What about working to get us better energy sources? What about working on these huge problems? VS RG project, where nobody will notice any effect.

It is amazing. Placing it at a deliberately undersized venue to achieve the all too important packed appearance. Add to this way undersized parking facilities, negatively effecting the neighborhood, and dangerously placing overflow parking on narrow two lane roads on the narrow shoulder.
So on to the nice prayer we were supposed to stand up for to protect the grove as though this project will wipe out the grove. At least she was honest that the Indian opposition is due to their opposition to the "white man" and the distrust of the same. After all "you have to be careful how you nod your head" with these folks. You have to love the deep seated racism. Never mind this project will help all races an genders, but us whities need to be opposed. Her good idea for the grove is speed bumps!
Some of what they are trying to feed people is that STAA trucks are not currently allowed in to Humboldt. That is a lie, STAA are allowed in from the North. Thank Ken Miller for that. Note, while trying to correct this, I was labeled rude. However any supporting comments offered up in same manner is ok.
Reasons given to oppose it, Marina Center, so 101 can't be used for STAA thoroughfare traffic to say other rural communities, that the STAA truck might tip over more often, that STAA might cause more accidents, that srg's incomplete data is good FUD, percy's small amount of responses to the grove without checking responses from Garberville means more accidents need to happen to be considered, possible increased military traffic, possible LNG trucks, that Caltrans likes congestion in Eureka so citizens there will clamor for a bypass using waterfront drive.
It was recommend here that every time someone sees an STAA truck in Humboldt county to call CHP so that they start to enforce their little buffer world.

"Answer Text","Vote Count"
After five weeks, trying to publish it in a good many areas, to give fair access. The Yes for the project, is the majority. I meant to only run it four weeks, but didn't know how to get in to close it. Unfortunately, the free version doesn't allow me to detect fraud. That is a minimum of $200 per year. Look on the bright side, I can only reset the results, not edit them.
Maybe I can reuse a quote the opposition used, "the people have voted".
Do I feel that way? No for many reasons. Despite a much better response, it still will not reflect the public. Too small a sample of people, vs population. Maybe this is another reflection of blog vs newspaper in readership? What does it reflect? I feel it reflects the online community, who choose to respond. Other reasons, it isn't a scientific poll response. With our loss of newspapers, will we lose our scientific polling of the communities on issues?

This is simply to see who has the majority.
For a good discussion, and reasons for the realignment, you have to check you Kym's prose on the subject.

"The Lincoln Memorial cartoon last week was a knee-jerk reaction to the proposed changes to Highway 101 at Richardson Grove.
Upon examination, rather than a decapation, the project looks more like an adjustment of the necktie and a little off the sides."

Homegrown businesses at risk – Times-Standard Online.
Kit Mann/For the Times-Standard
Posted: 03/03/2009 01:28:35 AM PST
Caltrans' planned safety and accessibility improvements for the Richardson Grove section of 101 are critical to Humboldt County, now and in the future. Opponents proclaim that the project will lead to the annihilation of Humboldt County's "lifestyle" by marauding hordes of big box stores from Southern California. They've got it exactly wrong. It's not the big box stores that we will shut out by maintaining the 101 choke point, but our own successful, diverse, locally grown exporting businesses that we will shut down.
Humboldt County is blessed with a large number of these local businesses. Our higher than average population of entrepreneurs, with support from several effective economic development organizations, have created, grown or diversified a wide spectrum of local businesses that export products out of the county. Labor statistics show that they are the primary source of new jobs in the county, and they strengthen our communities by diversifying the economy.
Businesses like Cypress Grove Chevre cheeses, Kokatat Watersports Wear, Sun Valley Bulb Farms, Fire and Light Originals, O&M Industries, and many, many others. All of them, and virtually every other business in the county, relies on trucks to get the raw materials they need into the county and ship the products they make out of the county.
The trucking industry is standardizing trailer size to achieve the best combination of safety and efficiency. Our problem is that the new
industry standard trailers are about 8 feet longer than what can legally go through the sharp twists and turns of Richardson Grove. Trucking companies may still have smaller trailers available now, but they are rapidly becoming obsolete. It is even more difficult to find current technology refrigerated units in the smaller size. To the trucking industry, Humboldt County is small potatoes and off the beaten track — it takes an extra effort to service us. Now imagine that, in addition to our physical remoteness, we tell the trucking companies that they have to use non-standard, obsolete, more expensive trucks to get here. How many of them do you think will continue to do that? And what do you think will happen to costs?
It's ironic that one of the main arguments against the project is that it will cause environmental degradation by cutting 40 small trees. Reasonable estimates indicate that using the standard trailers would result in a reduction of hundreds of truck trips per year into the county. Just two local businesses have estimated that using the standard trailer size would reduce their truck trips by about 15 percent, thereby saving something like 100,000 gallons of diesel a year. This translates into keeping over 2 million pounds of Co2 out of the atmosphere. It would take at least 4,000 mature trees to absorb that much carbon dioxide! Recycling in the area is also hampered by the limitations on the trucks that are available to move recycled materials. In short, the environmental harm caused by using older, less efficient trucks, driven more miles, would be many times worse, and spread over a much greater area, than any impact of the project itself.
Of course, it's not just businesses that will be affected. Every one of us relies on trucking for everything from the food on our tables to the clothes on our backs, whether you shop at Costco and Safeway or Eureka Natural Foods and the Arcata Co-op. Maintaining the restriction at Richardson Grove would be sort of like only allowing people to use dial-up Internet access or cars built before 1989 — less efficient and less effective technologies. By maintaining this choke point in our transportation supply link, we lock ourselves in to less choices, less competition and higher costs for everything and everybody.
Our community's homegrown businesses are a big part of what makes Humboldt County a great place to live. They are justifiably a source of much local pride. Putting them at serious risk over this relatively minor project will only impoverish us and our community.
The deadline for comments on this project has been extended to March 12, and Caltrans needs to hear more support from the community. Please write or e-mail your support for the project today. Send comments to:

Analysis: While Morris leads the NFL with 91.8 rushing yards per game, his five touchdowns leave much to be desired. Fantasy owners can only hope the Redskins start to use him more at the goal line.

CATEGORIES MoviesAnother day, another remake. Alcon Entertainment -- home to 'The Blind Side,' 'The Book of Eli,' 'The Wicker Man' remake, and the upcoming new Ridley Scott 'Blade Runner' project -- has announced it has acquired the rights to Kathryn Bigelow's 1991 buddy boy action pic 'Point Break.' Vaya con dios?
As you know from endless re-watching, the original 'Point Blank' stars Keanu Reeves as FBI agent Johnny Utah who infiltrates a gang of surfers believe to be the bank robbing "ex-presidents" (called that because they wear masks of ex-presidents); the leader of the gang is hot-blooded action freak Bodhi (played by a very buff Patrick Swayze), who forms a bond with Johnny.
According to the press release, the new version is set in the world of international extreme sports, and -- like the original -- involves an undercover FBI agent infiltrating a criminal ring. Other plot points in the Kurt Wimmer ('Salt,' 'Law Abiding Citizen,' the upcoming 'Total Recall' remake) screenplay have not been revealed.
Warner Bros. -- which will release 'Point Break' -- is hoping to get the project in theaters quick, with the script going out to directors soon.
According to the producers: "Who doesn't love the Kathryn Bigelow original and its pure heart-pounding action and thrills? Kurt's take infuses the story and characters with new twists and settings ... 'Point Break' wasn't just a film, it was a Zen meditation on testosterone fueled action and manhood in the late 20th century and we hope to create the same for the young 21st!'

Mid ship was noisy with loads of kids as we went Easter week with tons of kids on board. Quiet is achieved on our balcony and at the adult pool aft (no one under 18 permitted).
Epic is essentially a Vegas hotel on the seas. Same type amenities, style, pace and action. Respite is readily available on private balconies, cigar lounge and similar.
Not for those who crave peace and quiet BUT it is available without much effort. Strongly recommended for those who like lots of entertainment and/or food options.
Stateroom was perfectly laid out and we loved the design. Split bathroom worked very well. As two adults we are able to get dressed simultaneously without stepping on each other. Women can do their makeup "away" from the bathroom. Highly recommended for active adults.
