Man found dead in Plano home
PLANO – Plano police say they suspect foul play in the death of a man found dead inside his home in the city's east side.
An official cause of death for Billy Joe Tanner, 50, has not yet been determined by the Collin County Medical Examiner's Office.
"I'm totally floored by this," said Cynthia Chapman, who lives nearby.
Next door to her home in the 3100 block of Royal Oaks Drive, crime-tape flapped in the wind as investigators searched for clues in a possible homicide.
At 8 p.m. Sunday, Tanner was found dead inside the home. Police said an extended relative who lives at the house returned to find something alarming.
"This person was familiar with layout and everything in the house and something indicated there was something wrong," said police spokesman David Tilley. "Our concern is that there is some foul-play. We believe that is the case."
Other than the department's suspicions, Tilley was tight-lipped about the case –– the clues that lead them to believe foul play was involved is unclear.
According to Plano police, Tanner's truck is missing. It is a red 2006 Chevy four-door pickup with the Texas license plate AK99367. Anyone who has seen the vehicle is encouraged to contact the Plano Police Department.
On Monday, investigators returned to the house searching for clues. Neighbors looked on from afar.
"This is crazy, because I've talked to him a few times and he's really nice guy. It hasn't sunk in; I'm kind of in shock," Davis Dobbs said from the front yard of his home.
Robert Yates said Tanner was one of his long-time employees.
"[He] was a great guy. Great guy," Yates said. "I can't imagine, of all of the employees we have, I can't imagine this person being involved in something like this."
Yates said Tanner worked at the commercial fire alarms installation company for more than 10 years.

Southminster: Give us cash bonus before building 113 homes
1:00pm Friday 15th February 2013 in Local News
Controversial plans for 113 new homes in Southminster have been deferred amid concerns over the village's lack of financial gain from developers.
On Monday evening, Robin Levy Associates and Chelmer Housing Partnership sought approval for outline planning permission from Maldon District Council's South Eastern Area Planning Committee.
The developers are looking to build as many as 113 homes on 3.64 hectare field on the south western edge of Southminster, next to Southfield Way.
Following the meeting, councillor Brian Beale said: "All we get is more houses being built in Southminster and the village doesn't get anything back."

A man has been charged with sexually assaulting a University of Illinois at Chicago student in a dormitory room shower Monday morning on the Near West Side campus, a university spokesman said.
Tavares Humphries, 28, has been charged with felony counts of attempted murder, aggravated criminal sexual assault, kidnapping, battery of a peace officer and residential burglary, according to Bill Burton, a UIC spokesman. Humphries, of the 3300 block of West Lexington Street, is scheduled to appear in bond court Tuesday.
The attack happened just after 10 a.m. at the Commons South residence hall, according to a crime alert issued by the university.
Other residents heard the attack and called UIC police, the alert said. The students were able to detain the suspect until officers arrived and took him into custody.
The suspect is not affiliated with the university, Burton said, calling it a "brazen crime."
The student is receiving medical care, and campus officials are providing on-site support and counseling to residents, the alert said.
The five-story residence hall at 700 S. Halsted Street houses about 190 undergraduate students, according to UIC's website.
The main entry door to the building is staffed, and other doors lock automatically, Burton said. The building is also equipped with "extensive" video surveillance, he said.
Authorities do not yet know how the suspect got into the building, but the alert urged students to make sure security doors are shut and locked at all times.
UIC police are increasing patrols in residence halls because of the incident.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

Students for the 2013-2014 school year should apply now for federal student aid, according to the financial aid office at Anne Arundel Community College.
A notice sent to all students for the next school year informs them that Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) applications should be completed between Jan. 1 and Mar. 1.
"Making this deadline can significantly increase your financial aid awards. If you miss this deadline, you can still apply for Federal grants and loans, but you will not be considered for state aid from the Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC)," according to the release.
If you are a student looking for information on your financial aid status, new security changes require you to confirm your identity through your AACC ID Card. To obtain an ID card, students must have a driver's license or other valid government-issued ID for verification.
For more information on FAFSA, visit the government hosted website at www.fafsa.gov
AACC's Financial Aid Office can be reached at 410-777-4019, or online at www.aacc.edu/aid.

William H. Macy is no stranger to Chicago. The veteran actor of movies and TV got his start at Chicago's St. Nicholas Theater Company.
Macy went on to win 2 Emmy awards, and an Academy Award nomination for his role in "Fargo."
There's big buzz over his latest film, "The Sessions," in which Macy plays a Catholic Priest in 1960's-era California.
"The Sessions" opens in theaters Friday, Oct. 19, starring Helen Hunt and John Hawkes.
The film is based on the life of poet Mark O'Brien (Hawkes), a man in an iron lung who wishes to lose his virginity with the help of a sexual surrogate (Hunt).
"Good Day Chicago" producer Jason Cooper sat down with Macy while the actor was in Chicago filming episodes of his hit Showtime series, "Shameless."

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — WASHINGTON — With Halloween rapidly approaching, federal officials are warning the public about the dangers associated with counterfeit decorative contact lenses.
Currently, the Food and Drug Administration's Office of Criminal Investigations, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection are working to seize counterfeit contact lenses, illegally imported decorative lenses, and lenses unapproved by the FDA.
Officials are warning consumers not to buy contact lenses from such places as Halloween or novelty shops, salons, beauty supply stores, or online if the site doesn't require a prescription.
Although many places illegally sell decorative contact lenses to consumers without valid prescriptions for as little as $20, these vendors are not authorized distributors of contact lenses, which by law require a prescription.
Because of the inherent medical risks, it is illegal to purchase or sell contact lenses of any kind without a prescription from an ophthalmologist, optometrist or a specially licensed optician under the supervision of an eye doctor. Decorative contact lenses can typically be ordered from the office that conducts the eye exam and contact lens fitting.
The Fairness to Contact Lens Consumers Act gives the consumers the right to obtain a copy of their contact lens prescription, allowing them to fill that prescription at the business of their choice, including online discount sites.
Various legitimate stores and websites sell decorative lenses but consumers should avoid buying these lenses from anywhere that does not require a valid prescription.
Medical experts advise consumers interested in buying decorative lenses to get an eye exam from a licensed eye doctor, even if you think your vision is perfect; to get a valid prescription that includes the brand name, lens measurements and an expiration date; to buy the lenses from a seller that requires you to provide a prescription, regardless of whether you shop online or in person; and to follow directions for cleaning, disinfecting, and wearing the lenses.
Also, consumers should not expect their eye doctor to prescribe anime, or circle lenses, which give the wearer a wide-eyed, doll-like look, as these have not been approved by the FDA. Finally, an eye doctor should be seen right away if there are signs of eye infection, including redness, lasting eye pain or decrease in vision.

Happened upon this place today. What a treat, in every respect. A real find. Really good food, wonderful atmosphere and people.

My wife and I had the pleasure of eating at this establishment 4 years ago and we were impressed. We visit there twice a month on the weekend to do something away from "the Island" and in "the City". This says alot considering we live in Long Island! The food is great and the owners are wonderful! Service with a smile should be their motto.

The Sweet Life cafe is a fantastic spot for good food and great people. It is a staple of my week for breakfast and/or lunch. Hard to argue with the breakfast sandwich, the eggs and homefries, and the multitude of sandwiches available at this little cafe/diner. The chicken salad sandwich is on the top of my list this week.

I can't believe the good reviews of this place. I went on a recent Saturday afternoon, and the place was dirty, the silverware and glasses were sticky and the host/waiter was the loudest, most annoying guy I could ever imagine working in a restaurant! Yes, he was friendly, but he was ridiculously loud and just a total annoyance. And the food... my pesto omelette tasted bizarre, and of course it wasn't a real omelette -- it was just scrambled eggs with some stuff mixed into it and pressed flat. My friend had shrimp scampi, but the sauce tasted so bizarre and weird that it tasted like something out of a cheap bottle or can.
Posted by Raquel on 08/24/2007
Yesterday I went to the Sweet Life and had the best breakfast I have ever had. I got to meet John and Dolly and they were very sweet and down to earth not to mention hysterical. I had the Exceptional Omelette with the best coffee in town. The food was so good that I went back for lunch. I got the $4.95 lunch special sandwich with a free soda. Not only was it delicious but it was also very affordable.Definitely recommend this place.

Janus Puzzle
In 2003 I designed a two layer sliding block puzzle, that was based on the classic 15 puzzle. I wanted to find a way to allow the pieces to 'interact' with other pieces, and change what the player saw when playing with the puzzle. This was the first attempt at such a puzzle.
It was entered in the 2005 IPP design competition, but unfortunately did not receive any prizes. See
IPP Design website
for more details.
Each digit used is made up of elements in the same way as a digital display. Typically there are 7 element in each digit, and I decided to split these in various ways and put some on the top layer of the puzzle and some on the bottom. It was a puzzle in itself to try and ensure that only the correct 2 pieces would make a digit.
You will see from the puzzle below that we have now split the puzzle, and you can see the two layers completely seperate. The original puzzle that was made proved to be very difficult, and this was partly due to the difficulty in reading each piece, to see what elements it carried.
Instructions for playing the puzzle are given below, and my thanks to
Eric Solomon
who wrote the Java for the game.
Any comments are welcome to

By: Maria Guerrero, KOB Eyewitness News 4
A New Mexico Army Reserve Company has just returned from active duty combat training in Wisconsin.
But now, more than two dozen of those soldiers are in a battle to get a paycheck owed to them by the Army.
Some of those soldiers reached out to KOB's 4 On Your Side team.
The unit's commander assured KOB that every one of the affected soldiers will get paid next week. But that may be too late, especially for those with a family.
"We're barely... scratching is not even the word anymore. We're crawling," one soldier said.
He will remain faceless out of fear of retaliation.
He is a father, a husband and a soldier who is trying to make ends meet.
"My son will be out of diapers today, my rent will be due," he said. "Nobody's going to be paying my late fees. My two cell phones are out. I have very, very small amounts of food in my fridge, what can I say?"
He and 27 other Army Reserve Soldiers in the 877th Quartermaster Company in Albuquerque have nowhere else to turn for help after going up the chain of command.
"They said we forgot to process your pay, suck up and drive on," one soldier said. "That's usually the favorite words of our unit: suck it up and drive on."
These soldiers left their civilian jobs to train for 21 days in Wisconsin and expected the military to pay them when they came home on Monday.
"I had to pay in quarters, pay my gas in quarters just to get to work on time," one soldier said.
"First thing I would say is I regret that the pay was done delayed," Captain Aldo Melucci said.
Melucci says most of his 135 soldiers in the unit were paid on time.
But for the others, he will only say the delay in pay is an "administrative oversight."
It's just another thing to worry about for these soldiers, who at any moment could be called on to serve our country.
"I'm kind of worried about what am I going to come back to," questions one soldier. "What's going to happen with my pay?"
The commander says he is immediately reaching out to family programs within the Army to help soldiers with no food or in danger of losing their home.

STAN Cantrill has been named Herefordshire Sport's sportsman of the year for the third time.
The veteran judo player, who also won in 2001 and 2009, has been acknowledged for more gold-medal winning performances in 2013.
He won gold at the Eastern European Championships in Slovakia and followed this up with success at the prestigious High Wycombe Open International.
A rule change by the International Olympic Committee to separate judo from wrestling provided a temporary setback as Cantrill could only finish fifth at the European Championships in Paris.
But he quickly bounced back by winning the British Open Championship before travelling to Dubai where he won bronze at the World Masters Championships.
Sportswoman of the Year Morgan Baynham Williams has not yet given up hope of a trip to Rio for the 2016 Olympics.
But the Ross oarswoman acknowledges that it's unlikely she will be selected.
Baynham Williams, 19, was a part of the GB under-23 squad who won GB's first ever medal in eights at the under-23 World Championships last summer.
"I've done some training with the senior squad since but Rio is an unlikely option," she admitted.
She is now a second-year student at Oxford Brookes University and, while still strongly involved with Ross Rowing Club, she has been training with the celebrated Leander Club.
"They have been very welcoming to me and it's excellent place to be," she said. "It's more like home than a club."
This year's young volunteer of the year is football coach and referee Sharleen Watkins, who has also received the HFA woman's referee award for outstanding contribution and performance.

Backpacker Magazine – May 2006
Midsize internal-frame backpacks that do everything--and do it well
When it comes to reviewing new gear, we're more Great Santini than Dr. Phil: stingy with praise and quick to drop-kick poor performers. But this review produced a remarkably strong crop of contenders. Each of the packs that survived our 6-month test is so comfortable and well-made that our editor-in-chief says "picking a favorite was the hardest call I've made in 30-plus BACKPACKER field tests."
Our goal was to find the perfect workhorse pack for every situation from overnights and weekends to streamlined summer weeks. After selecting six models that met our criteria, we turned five testers loose--four men and one woman. More than 1,000 miles later, after being lugged on trails from Washington's Hoh River to New Hampshire's Kilkenny Ridge, four packs remained. All of our selections are versatile, yet each is distinctive enough to appeal to a specific type of user--so choosing your favorite shouldn't be too grueling.
Osprey Aether 70/Ariel 65
A custom fit, great load control, and a competitive price push this pack to the head of its class.
Our map editor nailed it: "This is the ideal pack for hikers who have trouble finding the perfect fit." Credit goes to Osprey's IsoForm hipbelt, which comes in multiple gender-specific sizes and is custom-fitted to buyers' hips in the showroom with a heat-molding process unique to Osprey and its dealers. Props also go to the gender-specific shoulder straps and a choice of two suspension sizes per model; the suspensions are adjustable so you can fine-tune torso length. All of this leads to best-in-class comfort and carrying control. How do we know? I hauled 40 pounds straight up 4,000 feet in Washington's Olympics without soreness; other testers hauled 45 pounds without the hipbelt slipping south.
Given this pack's durable construction (you'll own it for years) and 5-plus-day capacity, its weight remains impressively low; the men's Aether comes in just an ounce heavier than the women's Ariel. Other plum features include the waffled foam back panel (which allows continuous cooling) and versatile wraparound compression (great for external lashing and controlling small loads). Plus, the recessed head cavity allowed me to gawk without whapping my noggin as I climbed Mt. Olympus. For all the bells and whistles, the price is pretty sweet, too.
Aether 70
Price: $239
Size: 4,200 cu. in.
Weight: 4 lbs. 9 oz.
Ariel 65
Size:4,000 cu. in.
Weight: 4 lbs. 8 oz.
Contact: (970) 564-5900; www.ospreypacks.com
Would be nice if replies stated the item name they were commenting on. Can't tell which was the worst pack and which packed 65# with ease.
Because you can see her "review" under the descriptions of all four packs, it's impossible to tell which pack Julie Meadows disliked so much.
Worst pack I have ever worn. Not packed too full, maybe 40 pounds. I have a small frame. It KILLED my hips and shoulders the whole time. VERY limited adjustability!
I was wondering about the fore-mentioned heat molding process of the hip belt. Is this actually something that is done in the shop? My focus would be that what if the pack is bought online. Recommendations?
Great all round pack only used it once (to bad) but love it great for any day huge capacity but hip belt feels funny. Any way great pack very very stable!
I have only used this pack on 3 and 4 day trips but it is the most comfortable pack I have ever worn. On three day trips I tend to pack heavy foods; veggies, fruits, cheese. I have the 70 and it handles heavy loads great. To me the 70L looks and feels smaller then it is, I just can't work in the confines of a sub 60L bag, and the suspension in those smaller bags leave a lot to be desired. Go to your local mountaineering shop and try it on. You will be pleased. For smaller loads it packs down nicely. A final not. On my last trip in Yosemite a black bear took off with my pack and got a pack of beef jerky that I missed. He could have easily shredded the pack but he didn't only the small pocket the jerky was in. I got the pack back and now have a story and a pack that survived a bear attack. Hows that for a VOC.
I've taken this pack on a 24 day trip with 65 pounds and it handled the load with ease, and didn't hurt my back in the process. A great all around pack. The brain turns into a fanny pack which is another neat feature.

Julie's Top 10 Leaky/Harry Potter List for 2005Misc
Editor's Note: This year some of your TLC staff will share with you their favorite moments of 2005; Julie's is first, with Sue's, John's and Melissa's coming later. Enjoy!
10. Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort. Chillingly human enough to make LV even scarier than I'd imagined him.
9. Neville's waltz. Wonderful, just wonderful.
8. HBP Release Party at Border's. So many smiles. Such wonderful costumes (I proudly wore my Marauder's Map T-shirt). So much excitement.
7. Brendan Gleeson as Mad-Eye Moody. Before seeing the film, I always pictured Liam Neeson as Moody. No more. There could be no one but Gleeson in that role.
6. Getting to be on a PotterCast, especially answering mail! Too much fun to be allowed.
5. Harry and Ginny. Harry and Ginny. Harry and Ginny.
4. Reading THE INTERVIEW, and feeling so thrilled for Melissa, even though I didn't know her (and not being at all jealous. Nope. Not. At. All.)
3. Seeing GoF. My first midnight screening of an HP film. It was such a blast to be there in the theater with like-minded/obsessed people. I was NOT embarrassed to have known the answers to all the trivia questions that were asked of the audience before the film started (although my kids might have been)!
2. Reading HBP. We had our family tradition -- the ceremonial reading of the first chapter out loud together (Carly was the reader), and then scattered to our respective cozy spots to dive in. For two days, I did nothing but read. We even delayed bringing our new puppy home until I'd finished the book, so there would be as few distractions as possible!
1. Getting hired as Leaky's newest editor, and working with the wonderful, amazing Leaky staff and readers. Need I say more? :-D

Peter spoke during the live special and said:
Being asked to play the Doctor is an amazing privilege. Like the Doctor himself I find myself in a state of utter terror and delight. It's so wonderful not to keep this secret any longer, but it's been so fantastic.

Empirical Labs ELDS DerrEsser Desser and Dynamics ModuleThe DerrEsser from Empirical Labs is a multi-function dynamic filtering device, in an API 500 series module format. Perhaps the most flexible de-essing tool available, in its basic "DS" mode, the DerrEsser is an effective, level-insensitve de-esser that adjusts the high frequency gain on overly trebly or spiky vocals, or other source. By using a crossover technique, and dividing the audio up into a high frequency range and a low frequency range, the ELDS DerrEsser can use its Voltage Controlled Amp to turn down comparatively high or harsh high frequencies in an extremely musical manner. However, unlike other de-essers, the ELDS is not limited to just de-essing, and allows for multi use of its circuitry. It also features a high-frequency limiter that can almost entirely remove unwanted fret and finger noise from dynamic acoustic guitar performances, as well as tame aggressive, diaphragm-shaking vocals, in a very musical way. Besides Bypass, there are essentially four modes of the DerrEsser:DS Mode— (Bypass Button IN, all other buttons OUT). As a de-esser in the DS mode (HF Limit OFF), one can set the threshold to tame harsh S's (sibilants) that result from an overlybright singer or from EQing to make a vocal sound aggressive and clear. In this mode, the dynamic action is "level insensitive," as the detector circuitry compares the high-frequency content to the low-frequency content. Overall signal level doesn't matter at all. When there is enough HF compared to LF, the threshold is exceeded and the DerrEsser starts to turn down the frequencies above the crossover point set by the Frequency control on the front panel. Great care was taken to ensure this DS section meets the Empirical Labs reputation for originality and ease-of-use by employing the latest technology VCA, specially selected for glitch free, distortion free, and noise free performance. The time constants were carefully selected and the corner frequency is user adjustable with a high-performance active crossover.HF LIMIT—(Bypass Button IN, HF LIM IN, all other buttons OUT). In this mode, the DerrEsser looks at the general level of the high frequencies only. Think of it as a high-frequency compressor. If there is enough high-frequency content to exceed the threshold, then gain reduction occurs. It's level sensitive, but responds much more to high frequencies. This mode can also act as a de-esser but is more of a general high-frequency smoothing device. The HF limiter is probably the first carefully tailored soft knee HF limiter in existence. Both the DS and HF LIM modes offer what is perhaps the highest performance of any similar device. HIGHPASS—(Bypass Button IN, Listen IN, HP/LP OUT, HF LIM doesn't matter). By using the "LISTEN" Function, the user can employ the superb filter circuitry inside the DerrEsser to process their audio. With the LISTEN button IN, and the HP/LP switch OUT, the user will be hearing the high frequencies that are being controlled with the dynamic/compression circuits. The corner frequency is adjustable by the Frequency knob. Once the LISTEN switch is engaged, all bar graph LED's should light as indication.LOWPASS—(Bypass Button IN, Listen IN, HP/LP IN, HF LIM doesn't matter). With the LISTEN button IN, and the HP/LP button IN, the user is now listening to the low frequencies, those not affected by the VCA and dynamic/compression circuits. This is a 12dB-per-octave filter whose corner frequency can again, be adjusted by the Frequency knob.Requires a 500 Series compliant rackmount frame with power supply.

Ghysels lands top job at Menlo Park school district
Original post made on May 14, 2011

Slick-talking egomaniac dupes the public yet again. Enjoy the ride, parents and children of Menlo Park.
on May 14, 2011 at 12:36 pm
This guy definitely has an image problem. As he used to say, "perception is everything."
Also consider this:
Check the CA Dept of Ed's Dataquest website. Under Mr. Ghysels' tenure growth targets were not met at four MV schools, both MV middle schools dropped in API, two elementary schools went into Program Improvement. MV is now forced to deny federal funding after five years under Ghysels to prevent from falling even further into Program Improvement. Where is Ghysel's responsibility in all this? I know, I know, it's all the students' fault, the teachers' fault etc. Web Link
According to the Public Employee Salaries Database 2010, Ghsyels arranged to pay Mizell $116,428 as principal before he left. Mizell had three years experience as a principal. That's the second highest salary for an elementary school principal in MVWSD. The highest was $117,229 for an elementary principal with two decades experience as principal. There is far more to this story than meets the eye.
And this:
According to the Public Employee Salaries Database 2010, the highest paid teacher in MVWSD in 2010 was the controversial Patricia Polifrone who was reported to have resigned from the district back in 2009 by Stephanie Totter, director of administrative services. However, Polifrone grossed $112,500 in 2010 suggesting that she was actually bought out by the school district. Web Link The amount far surpasses the salary of the highest paid teacher in the district who actually taught in 2010. The true cost of the buyout remains a mystery, but such is the price for poor personnel administration of teachers in the district and the even poorer practices of documenting parent complaints. The as-of-yet-undetermined total amount of money used to buy out Polifrone could have been put to good use in the classroom. Hopefully, the new superintendent takes effective steps to put an end to costly and poorly managed personnel policies and practices in the district in the future. This is what the Public Employee Salaries Database 2010 was designed to do; to reveal the waste taking place everyday in public organizations.

Posted by MV parent, a resident of the Monta Loma neighborhood, "Slick-talking egomaniac dupes the public yet again. Enjoy the ride, parents and children of Menlo Park."
Hmm, I always thought of him as a smooth-talking charmer, but I guess your description fits too.
Hey, it's not all bad, they'll get a new logo, tagline, mission statement, signs out in front of their schools...all that cool stuff that has such a direct impact on the instruction and learning that goes on inside the classroom, you know, the interaction between students and their teachers.
And MP will get nifty new programs with impressive sounding names, like Continuous Improvement (which is pretty much what every teacher does from one class period or school day to the next...) and a School...err, STUDENT Facilities Improvement Plan to remodel newly-remodeled buildings.
We'll check back with ya' in five years, MP, to see what legacy he leaves in your town after he leaves to go to his next job.

A Conversation with Steven Pinker: Was World War II the Deadliest War?
Steven Pinker's book, The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined stands out as one of the most important books I've ever read. I recently had a chance to sit down with Steven and discuss some of the points from the book in greater detail.
Our commencement speech at Stanford University.
I read a lot, but I don't always choose what's on the bestseller list.
I had fun talking to Charlie Rose and shared thoughts about the story.
Looking back at 2013, I wanted to share a different kind of list.
This is my personal blog, where I share about the people I meet, the books I'm reading, and what I'm learning. I hope that you'll join the conversation.
Have a question or feedback about the site or the topics I write about?

Reservoirs are funny things. They build a reputation, and sometimes it changes. Where people once flocked now seems abandoned. Its not quite the case between Cascade and Magic, but it is an interesting switch. Cascade has seen a resurgence in ice fishing in recent years with the perch returning and the trout fishing being pretty good. Lake Cascade State Park also does a good job of plowing parking lots to make it easy for anglers to get on the ice.
Magic used to be THE place for ice fishing for perch. I can remember several trips when it was so easy to catch perch even a dumb fly fisherman like me could do it.
But Magic hit some hard times when it was lowered (not drained) to repair the dam, and a low snowpack meant the reservoir didnt refill the following spring.
Heres where the reputation part comes in. There seems to be some bad intel out there that Magic isnt fishing well. Ive had limited reports because few people are fishing, but the reports have been favorable for both perch and trout.
There can be several explanations, the weather has been great for forming ice, but not travel friendly, and the holidays are fast approaching. Its also early in the ice fishing season, but based on this weather, theres plenty of opportunity ahead.
So what it boils down to is Magic is ready for ice fishing. Don Hartman at West Magic Resort said the ice is thick enough and theres easy parking below the resort. Hes also got all the tackle, munchies and beverages for a day of fishing. So give it go, and let me know how you do.

I've been profiled by The Economist, Forbes and Inc. Magazine. As an Internet entrepreneur, I like founding companies that cause some heck and which have a social benefit.
However, I'm sort of finished with my hyper-alpha-salesguy-American phase and now prefer to code, meet interesting people, enjoy life, code, play around with molecular gastronomy, code and build useful things. Someday I might finish my cookbook on raw fish recipes from around the world entitled "Cold Fish."
These are the businesses I've created and currently run:
Lyris is an email management software company I founded in 1996. It employed 50 people when I sold it in 2005.
My Wikipedia page has up-to-date information about me.
I'm in the process of creating three new projects: a complete rewrite of Magnatune, idearchive and Yo Recipes.
This web site was rewritten and simplified in 2008, but you can find the old home page here with links to dozens of older articles I've written.
You can email me through BookMooch.

Pieces of information came trickling in during the hours after a tragic incident at Maymont Thursday. As detectives came in and out of the estate, we learned one of the sadder parts of this story: while the adult who was injured is recovering, he'll also be mourning. The child who died is his son.
As the storm swept through the area and the skies of Richmond turned dark, police cruisers with lights flashing and sirens blaring converged on Maymont. A family now had to grieve the loss of a child at a place normally filled with the laughter of kids his age.
"This is difficult when you have a small child like this," Richmond Police Spokesman Gene Lepley said. "It's hard."
The call came in just before four o'clock. Two people had been struck by a falling tree. The adult was rushed to the hospital to be treated. He is expected to be ok. The four-year-old boy was pronounced dead at the scene.
The two were part of a small group visiting, one that never made it to the shelter of the nature center where they were being directed.
"There was an evacuation underway as everybody knows this storm was rolling in," Lepley described. "They had their safety officer out with a bull horn, we're told, in a vehicle. It's a large grounds so he was working his way around the area letting people know it was time to come in and take shelter."
We now know, they had come so close to safety.
"Down the hill near the stream, there's a little bridge across the stream and that's where the tree was and that's unfortunately where they were caught," Lepley explained. "They were only sixty or seventy yards away from making it to the center."
Now, an investigation, which is difficult for the most hardened of detectives, continues.
"There are investigators here who have years of experience, have investigated hundreds of fatalities and they're shaken by it because of the innocence a child brings to the world and now that we've lost one," Lepley added.

Human Factors/Applied Cognition: The genetic modulation of cognitive and brain change in midlife by measuring effects of neurotransmission and neurotrophic SNPs, including the Alzheimer susceptibility gene APOE.
Dr. Greenwood received her PhD at SUNY Stony Brook under Michael Gazzaniga. She went on to a post-doctoral fellowship at the West Haven VA and Yale University to learn event-related potential techniques with Truett Allison and W.R. Goff and conduct basic research on somatic event-related potentials. She eventually moved to Catholic University in Washington, DC, to study attention using both electrophysiology and behavioral methods in healthy aging and Alzheimer's disease. There, she and Raja Parasuraman developed a large-scale study of the genetics of cognitive aging using both information processing and standardized neuropsychological assessments of cognition as a function of Alzheimer's susceptibility genes and neurotransmission genes. These efforts have evolved to include investigations into ways to ameliorate cognitive aging and broadened into investigations of the principles important in successful cognitive training in general. We are currently focused on (a) understanding the relation between cognitive change and brain change over the course of cognitive training, and (b) understanding how training-related cognitive change is related to change in cortical thickness, white matter integrity, and functioning connectivity, particularly in ventral and dorsal attention networks.
Dr. Greenwood has research interests in cognitive aging and the genetics of cognitive aging which she examines using behavioral, neuroimaging, and genetic methods. Specifically she studies the modulation by normal genetic variation of attention, working memory, and the role of attention in forming and maintaining mental representations in working memory. She and Parasuraman are conducting a longitudinal study of the genetics of cognitive change in midlife. In collaboration with Drs. Parasuraman, Thompson, and Peterson, and James Bicksel (Inova Memory Center) she recently began a randomized controlled trial of cognitive training in healthy older people and people diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment.
