An interim CEO of Southwest Healthcare System – the parent of Inland Valley Medical Center in Wildomar -- has been selected, it was announced today.
John Harris has been named Group Vice President of Universal Health Services Southern California market. King of Prussia, PA-based Universal Health Services is the umbrella hospital management company over Southwest Healthcare System, which includes Inland Valley Medical Center in Wildomar and Rancho Springs Medical Center in Murrieta.
Harris will assume responsibility for oversight of Southwest Healthcare System and its two local hospitals, as well as Corona Regional Medical Center in Corona, Palmdale Regional Medical Center in Palmdale, and Temecula Valley Hospital in Temecula (scheduled to open in summer of 2013).
"His first and immediate responsibility is to serve as interim CEO of Southwest Healthcare System until the current CEO search identifies his successor in that position," according to Brian Connors, director of marketing for Southwest Healthcare System.
Prior to joining UHS, Harris was Market CEO for Sierra Providence Health Network of El Paso, Texas, within the Tenet Healthcare Corporation. In six years, Harris expanded the network from six to 25 facilities, including four hospitals and 21 freestanding facilities, according to Connors. Previous to that, he was CEO at Tenet's Lake Pointe Medical Center in Rowlett, Texas.
Harris holds bachelor's degrees in Business and Political Science from Oregon State University and a master's degree in Hospital Administration from the University of Alabama in Birmingham.
Marvin G. Pember, President of UHS's Acute Care Division, said, "Throughout his career, John Harris has evidenced exceptional leadership skills in his positions as CEO of a number of acute medical/surgical hospitals. We are excited to welcome him to UHS and look forward to his strong leadership in our fast-growing Southern California market."

When I started doing this work six years ago, and when I spoke about the importance of talking about women directors, about the importance of their voices, I was basically talking to the mirror. Boy how things have changed in the last couple of years. It's amazing how rich the conversation has gotten. While the statistics have not yet moved, and in some years they are retreating, the fact that people, and lots of them, are talking about women directors -- their names, their presences, their lack of opportunities, their great movies -- is very heartening.
Recently, in London, I met and had conversations with women who were directors at the highest level and directors who are still struggling to break in. There was such a good vibe that I couldn't help but feel that things FEEL different. The conversations were really positive but the reality is all the women are struggling. It sucks when a director talks about the fact that the only thing the money folks care about is who is playing the MALE lead (or second lead or third lead) in a film. It's doesn't even matter that the film stars a woman -- they want to know who the guy is before they put in the money. Big reality check.
Last week was very interesting here in the US because there were several very interesting articles written on this topic. It's hot here, at least it's hot here on the east coast and movies are one of the things we do to escape the heat. But as Linda Holmes reported earlier this summer, your choices at the movies are limited, especially if you want to see something that is not a superhero movie and something directed by a woman. Susan Wloszcyna takes it a bit further in her recent piece that ran on Roger Ebert's site (and cross-posted on Women and Hollywood): Dear Hollywood: Hiring Women Directors Could Rescue the Superhero Movie. Love, Half the Human Race. Her premise, which you can get from the title, is that women do go and see the superhero movies and that many of them could use some improvement and maybe hiring a woman or two to direct would shake up this getting very stale genre.
In the nearly-four decades since Christopher Reeve took flight, superhero films have grown into Hollywood's most popular and profitable genre. Sadly, these films continue to be directed by males and marketed to boys of all ages. This situation would not be quite so dire except for the fact that a growing number of these mighty crusader tales, with their endless remakes and sequels, are monopolizing multiplex screens. Given that most of the plots involve troubled male outsiders who fret about not fitting in and/or bearing the responsibility of saving humanity, the stories tend to be boilerplate specials with little room for real emotions -- or real women.
It's time to put a woman behind the camera.
In Criticwire, Sam Adams takes issue with some of Susan's argument but makes an important point about how these superhero movies are big machine like productions with individuality stripped away. Not totally true because you can really tell a Christopher Nolan film even if there are a thousand cooks in the kitchen.
But this question is even more important:
As in any other area, the movie industry will only have achieved true parity when there are female hacks: Competent but flavorless directors who churn out product for a price. But the movies those women make won't change anything.
Is this what we are striving for? Where women can churn out shit and then get their next job? Making mistakes are vital to moving forward yet in this economy there is no place in the film business for mistakes. Also, there is a big difference between a good film that flops and a piece of shit movie that doesn't do anything for anyone even if it makes money.
But it is something to think about as this conversation moves forward -- what exactly will parity mean? I want to see women make great superhero movies about guys and girls. I want the studios to see women as potential successes on screen so they commission these films about women and then hire women to make them. I want women to helm superhero movies about guys. I want women to make glorious failures and not go into directing jail. But I also want to see movies that have nothing to do with superheroes and I worry that the conversation (which I am a part of) is saying that the big money movies are the only successes that matter. Because they are not and the reality is that most movies about women are never going to big budget bonanzas and I want to be able to see successes for women.
I love the conversation that it happening. People are getting angry. Things will change. We just need to be patient and see that this is a long time fight and know that the way things change is to keep talking, keep fighting and keep demanding more and better opportunities.

Linn, I saw the same movie yesterday and I agree with your assertion that things are different. In fact, I don't believe Mako and the lead will be romantically involved. The bonds formed between them seem to say 'Best Friends'. For example, when they fought each other, I didn't not notice any 'male gaze' shots. The camera showed two extremely talented people fighting together, no lingering shots except in showing the determination on both the fighter's faces.
Apparently the director, Guillermo del Toro, has done this before. Pan's Labyrinth follows a strong female lead, although a child, as she battles her deepest fears and sadistic step father.
Linn D. | July 15, 2013 4:11 PM
I just saw "Pacific Rim" this past weekend. And the 3rd lead is a woman, playing the role of Mako Mori. You can tell things are different, a) because the character has a last name. B) she is not only a love interest, but has a story arc of her own. C) yes, she is like a daughter to the 2nd lead, and thus his foil, but she also has her own journey about her feelings towards that father figure. So while the film would not pass the Bechdel Test - the 3rd lead is female, she doesn't kiss a boy, she never gets naked, and she has her own journey she has to take. And oh yeah, she kicks ass in a fight scene. In a summer popcorn movie. When the credits rolled my brain was exploding. Not just from the over stimulation of all the CGI effects, but the amazing female role I had just watched on screen. I believe an article in W&H devoted to just this - is deserved. How did a big studio film manage to have a slightly feminist character?!? Did they realize what they had done? Was it on purpose? I would love to know... Thank you!
I'm just gonna close my eyes and plug my ears and keep making movies. LA LA LA LA LA LA!
Thank you for your honesty on the need and cost associated for professional film gear. I'm so
The film will premiere at Toronto Film Festival on September 9 and at New York Film Festival on
Are you guys retarded or what? This section it's called "women and hollywood", what

BLUEFIELD, W. Va (WVVA)-- Coal industry leaders are angry and frustrated.
"I think it goes to the newest employed miner to the ones that have been in the industry for decades. They feel like it was a slam," said Bill Raney, president of the WV Coal Association. "It was very very shortsighted to do that because truly this country was built on the backs of the coal industry."
The president wants to make energy production cleaner and some fear this will only increase demand for alternative energy and push the coal industry out.

McClatchy Publishes Translation of U.S.-Iraq Basing Deal
Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 10:15 am
The good people at McClatchy have translated an Arabic text of the U.S.-Iraq Status of Forces Agreement into English. Check it out here. A cursory read doesn't reveal too much difference from the version circulating a few weeks ago on the Hill that I used as the basis for my Oct. 23 piece. Here, for instance, is the money quote:
All U.S. forces are to withdraw from all Iraqi territory, water and airspace no later than the 31st of December of 2011.
All U.S. combat forces are to withdraw from Iraqi cities, villages, and towns not later than the date that Iraqi forces assume complete responsibility of security in any Iraqi province. The withdrawal of U.S. forces from the above-mentioned places is on a date no later than the 30 June 2009. The withdrawing U.S. forces mentioned in item (2) above are to gather in the installations and areas agreed upon that are located outside of cities, villages and towns that will be determined by the Joint Military Operation Coordinating Committee (JMOCC) before the date determined in item (2) above.
It also says, as I reported, that the withdrawal could happen sooner, but with a new sentence added: "The Iraqi government admits to the sovereign right of the United States to withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq at anytime." I presume that "anytime" means "anytime before Dec. 31, 2011," not "anytime indefinitely into the future."
Also, Leila Fadel, McClatchy's excellent Baghdad bureau chief, writes a great supplementary story about how the SOFA "is now called the withdrawal agreement" in Iraq because it, in her view, truly does provide "an ultimate end to the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq." And she notes this new language in Article 27, inserted almost certainly to forstall a U.S. attack on Iran:
It is not permitted to use Iraqi land, water and airspace as a route or launching pad for attacks against other countries.

I believe the new sentence is legalese for Iraq hasn't any claim on US forces.

Looks like something I wrote may soon be redundant:
Fade to desert scene.
A couple of Arabs looking at video camera. Another one steps up to face it. He is in full desert clothing.
All ready, mullah.
We do not wish to be enemies, Americans. And that is why we have taken on the task you in your wealth, were too weak to consider. We fight the terrorists – al Pentagon fi Iraq – here
(waves his arm around to indicate the land, beautiful in its austere way as deserts usually are)
so you will not have to fight them over there.
I couldn't be more delighted.

Inside, however, it will be hotter than ever between these two schools. After only a year, Tubby Smith has the Gophers winning and he also appears to be sealing the recruiting walls on the state of Minnesota. The only thing left to do? Beat Wisconsin.
- The Star Tribune has a story this morning on how Tubby is stopping the Minnesota exodus to Wisconsin.
- Meanwhile, my friend Rob Schultz at The Capital Times fires back with a profile on the "red-headed Minnesota kid" who right now appears to be the last Minnesota recruit on his way to Madison for a few years.
- You may have heard that the Governors of Minnesota and Wisconsin are teaming together to work on the economy, but Andy Baggot of the Wisconsin State Journal says it's been "Minnesconsin" in sports for a while now.
- What are the bad guys saying? The Daily Gopher and From the Barn both have more.
- Finally, wondering where all Wisconsin's football recruits are coming from? Check this out.

Rí Rá Las Vegas, located inside The Shoppes at Mandalay Place, hosts its second head-shaving event on Saturday, March 2, 2013 to raise money for the St. Baldrick's Foundation, which funds the most promising research to find cures for childhood cancers and give survivors long and healthy lives.
Starting at 1 p.m., registered attendees will shed their locks to support the fight against childhood cancer. Interested participants can register online (www.stbaldricks.org/events/mypage/7982/2012) to shave at Rí Rá or to donate time or money to the cause. Once registered, volunteers will raise funds for the St. Baldrick's Foundation by soliciting donations from friends, family and anyone willing to spare some change.
Those who sign up to shave at Rí Rá will go bald March 2 at the pub. Local hairdressers will volunteer their time to give the haircuts, which will continue throughout the day. Those wishing to keep their hair can donate funds online and at the pub. During the event, guests will enjoy live music and other festivities.
Last year, during its first year participating in the event, Rí Rá raised more than $27,000 for St. Baldrick's and lifesaving childhood cancer research. The pub's goal is to raise more than $35,000 this year.
About St. Baldrick's Foundation: The St. Baldrick's Foundation is a volunteer-driven and donor-centered charity committed to funding the most promising research to find cures for childhood cancers and give survivors long and healthy lives. Since 2005, St. Baldrick's has awarded more than $100 million to support lifesaving research, making the Foundation the largest private funder of childhood cancer research grants.

West Indies star Russell is ready for his Worcestershire t20 debut
8:40am Friday 28th June 2013 in Sport By Tom Guest, @tomguestWN #WENsport
ANDRE Russell makes his Worcestershire bow this evening as this year's Friends Life t20 roars into action at New Road (5.30pm).
The big-hitting, fast-bowling West Indian all-rounder will be the hosts' star attraction in tonight's pipe-opener against Glamorgan.
However, director of cricket Steve Rhodes insists there is more to his side than their overseas recruit and has named a team packed full of versatile cricketers, with five genuine all-rounders in his 12-man squad.
"People will look at our squad and the obvious thing will be our powerful top six, but t20 is not just about getting runs," the County chief said.
"We have tried to pick a team where we have a lot of things covered — a long batting line-up, options with the ball and good plans in place.
"That all means nothing, though, if we don't play well out there in the middle, starting with tonight's game against Glamorgan.
"We would obviously like to get off to a good start, but if preparation is anything to go by, then we deserve to make a good start.
"In t20, it only needs one decent partnership or a good couple of overs from one bowler to take the game away from a team."
Rhodes added: "In Jack Shantry, we have one of the best bowlers in the competition — year on year, he is right up there near the top of the stats. That is especially impressive when you consider he does his bowling in the most awkward times of matches.
"Chris Russell has shown some really good change-ups and pace in recent games and is in good form and we also have plenty of all-rounders, as well as the two spinners."

While the Crystal Symphony is perfectly nice and the service outstanding, the overall experience left many of us who were not travelling as a couple or with a group feeling bored and left out. Mixers and other informal get-togethers were not organized; there was little to do other than sit in a lounge and drink/listen to music or on deck and read. Other than the one day at sea, the lack of programming options and communication designed to bring people together was a great disappointment. Yes, there were classes, but unless you wanted to focus on iPad skills or dancing, not much else. The lecturer offered little in the way of insights not widely available in basic media, and he misrepresented himself by claiming a non-partisan outlook.
The excursion staff, the few hours that they were available at the desk, were misinformed about several aspects of the (costly) excursions; for example, in Saguenay, the zodiac tour did NOT include the likelihood of finding beluga whales, or even seeing much in the way of fjords, and they did NOT provide any kind of protective outerwear as the excursion staff indicated. The talented musicians were mostly limited to nightly show presentations; most other cruise lines employ them elsewhere to entertain in different formats at other parts of the ship at different times of the day. Staterooms are TINY, even compared to other less high-end cruise lines. While smoking was restricted, it was allowed in the worst possible place: in the bar right at the only central place to congregate in the main lobby outside the dining room. Many of these issues would be very simple to overcome, if Crystal wants to earn a continued reputation as a leader in this industry rather than complacent reliance on past perceptions.

Estate Sale Report: A Hoarder's Paradise in Berkeley?
To be honest, I don't know if the owners of this Berkeley apartment building were technically hoarders. But I do know this: When Rick Hudson of Hudson's Antiques & Estate Liquidation says you have to see an estate sale to believe it, you better take notice. This man doesn't exaggerate.
On sale are the worldly goods of a Berkeley couple who collected stuff—apothocary bottles, toys, electronics, just to name a few categories—and eventually they filled their five-unit apartment building and its basement completely with their finds. Shoppers will discover, literally, thousands of antique and vintage apothecary jars.

"boxes" that I had remembered so well, and I found that at least one of them had been donated to the Museum just a few years before my visit. Who knows, maybe those boxes will show up in some of my future work as well.

|17) Baltimore Ravens - C.J Mosley (LB Alabama)
If you want to know why the Ravens are consistently good year in and year out turn to a pick like C.J Mosley as a perfect example. The Ravens never panic, never draft for need; they simply take the best available player. In my opinion Mosley was one of the most underrated prospects in this year's draft as concerns about his minor injuries were overblown. Mosley has been a dominating force at Alabama over the past two years in a defense nearly identical to what Baltimore runs. He can play the run, play the pass and his instincts are off the charts.
Grade: A+
|18) New York Jets - Calvin Pryor (Safety Louisville)
It's hard to argue with the Jets drafting a safety which was a glaring weakness for the team but I'm just not a big fan of Calvin Pryor. I understand why people like him because he's a playmaker on the back end and he's so physical, but I just happen to think there are some fundamental flaws in his game. I was a little surprised to see them pass on Brandin Cooks here, but with the depth at receiver this year they can easily get a good one on day two. Like I said I'm not in love with Pryor but the Jets needed a safety and Rex Ryan usually knows good defensive players when he sees them so I give them benefit of the doubt.
Grade: C+
|19) Miami Dolphins - Ja'Wuan James (OT Tennessee)
Clearly a panic move. Their two targets Zack Martin and Ryan Shazier had just gone off the board so the Dolphins reached for a player they liked, but not one that belonged in the top 20. Ja'Wuan James is an excellent pass protecting offensive tackle but he isn't very physical and doesn't do much as a run blocker. James will probably be a starter for them, but he'll simply be a slightly above average starter. Not terrible, but not what you should be looking for in a top 20.
Grade: C-
|20) TRADE! New Orleans Saints - Brandin Cooks (WR Oregon State)
Love this move for New Orleans. With New Orleans' receiving core depleted to only Marques Colston and Kenny Stills they were in dire need of a receiver and Cooks was an outstanding value at 20. It wasn't New Orleans' defense last year that failed them, it was their offense which bogged down in the end. Cooks is a speedy playmaker who can work his magic over the middle as a sharp route runner with excellent hands and breakaway speed. Out of all the receivers this year Brandin Cooks might but up the best numbers.
Grade: A
|21) Green Bay Packers - Haha Clinton-Dix (Safety Alabama)
Green Bay had some of the worst safety play in the league last year so when Haha Clinton Dix somehow fell to them at 21 they no doubt rushed to the podium to take who I feel to be the draft's top safety prospect. Dix has elite range, outstanding instincts and is more than solid in run support. He was exactly what they needed and the fact he was available at 21 makes this a huge steal.
Grade: A
|22) TRADE! Cleveland Browns - Johnny Manziel (QB Texas A&M)
Maybe the movie Draft Day wasn't that far off after all! Many expected the Browns to take Johnny Manziel, but with the fourth pick, not the 22nd. This situation is eerily similar to what happened a few years back when Cleveland stopped Brady Quinn's slide but Cleveland is hoping the results are much different. In Johnny Manziel not only do the Browns get the franchise quarterback that they desperately need but the city as a whole gets a star to wrap their arms around and energize the fan base. Getting him at 22 mitigates a lot of the risk factor associated with Manziel and takes a lot of the pressure off. I'm not Johnny's biggest fan, but the fact that Cleveland came out of this with Justin Gilbert, Johnny Manziel and a first round pick next year was simply masterful by GM Ray Farmer.
Grade: A-
|23) Kansas City Chiefs - Dee Ford (OLB Auburn)
Definitely a surprise pick here as Kansas City already has one of the best pass rushing duos in the league in Justin Houston and Tamba Hali, and passed up on receiver help for Dee Ford. I like Dee Ford a lot and think he'll be a lethal third down pass rusher but I personally would have gone for a playmaker like Marqise Lee at this point.
Grade: B-
|24) Cincinnati Bengals - Darqueze Dennard (CB Michigan State)
Definitely one of the steals of the draft here in my opinion. Darqueze Dennard is my top ranked cornerback because of his physicality and relentless tenacity and I have no qualms whatsoever about his perceived lack of elite speed. Dennard is a pit-bull type cornerback who will go toe-to-toe with any receiver for four quarters and make life hell for the guy he's up against. Great value and also fills a need for Cincy.
Grade: A+
|25) San Diego Chargers - Jason Verrett (CB T.C.U)
San Diego ranked as one of the bottom five teams in the NFL last year in pass defense. Their top three cornerbacks consisting of Richard Marshall, Shareece Wright and Derek Cox needed some serious upgrading and Jason Verrett certainly does that. Verrett is an outstanding man-to-man cover corner and he plays much bigger than his 5'9" height indicates.
Grade: A-
|26) TRADE! Philadelphia Eagles - Marcus Smith (OLB Louisville)
Most people expected the Eagles to take a wide receiver in round one with guys like Marqise Lee and Cody Latimer both seemingly good fits. Louisville's Marcus Smith was certainly a surprise considering the Eagles already have a pretty solid pass rush with guys like Connor Barwin, Brandon Graham and Trent Cole, but he certainly can add some juice. Smith was viewed as more of a second round pick because he doesn't play the run very well and doesn't have much experience in coverage. Not a bad pick but the Eagles could have done better here.
Grade: C
|27) TRADE! Arizona Cardinals - Deone Bucannon (Safety Washington State)
Hard to knock a guy like Deone Bucannon who I have no doubts will be a solid reliable starting safety in the NFL. He's physical, smart, instinctive and has better range than people think. Personally, I would have gone with Ra'Shede Hageman here to help back up Darnell Dockett who is getting a little long in the tooth. But Arizona is building they're team around defense, they have a vision and Deone Bucannon fits that nicely. Don't expect him to be a Pro Bowler but Bucannon will be a reliable starter for Arizona and you can't be too critical of that.
Grade: B
|28) Carolina Panthers - Kelvin Benjamin (WR Florida State)
With all three of his top receivers from last year gone, Cam Newton gets his new go-to receiver in Kelvin Benjamin. Offensive tackle was certainly a need and we heard guys like Morgan Moses and Joel Bitonio were in serious consideration but in the end Benjamin is a great pickup. Benjamin is lethal in jump ball situations and we saw that in the plays he made for Florida State last year. He has underrated athleticism and is the type of receiver who can be considered always open with his ability to go up and win jump balls in double and triple coverage.
Grade: B+
|29) New England Patriots - Dominique Easley (DT Florida)
I'm not quick to criticize anything Bill Belichick and the Patriots do, I'll just simply say I wouldn't have taken Dominique Easley in the first round. Easley's game is based 100% around his speed and explosion and I have my doubts about whether he can still be effective coming off his second blown out ACL. If healthy he's a top 15 talent without question, but knee injuries really scare me.
Grade: C
|30) San Francisco 49ers - Jimmie Ward (Safety Northern Illinois)
Obviously safety is not a need for the 49ers who just took Eric Reid last year and signed Antoine Bethea in free agency, but Jimmie Ward will still see the field a lot for San Francisco. Ward is listed as a safety but he spends a lot of his time covering slot receivers and tight ends, something he excels at and something that is becoming increasingly more important in today's NFL. Ward is a fluid athlete who can man-up with any athlete on the field and also supports the run exceptionally well. Just another example of forward thinking from the 49ers.
Grade: B
|31) Denver Broncos - Bradley Roby (CB Ohio State)
Even though Denver signed Aqib Talib to a big contract almost all of that money is guaranteed in year one, so his stay could possibly be short lived. Even with Talib the Broncos lack depth at cornerback and by taking Bradley Roby they get a guy who most view as a top 15 talent. Personally, I think Roby is one of the most overrated players in this draft and I don't think he has the mental makeup to be successful in the NFL. He's a boom or bust guy who could wind up being a steal, but I would have stayed away from Roby. Especially with Ra'Shede Hageman on the board.
Grade: C-
|32) TRADE! Minnesota Vikings - Teddy Bridgewater (QB Louisville)
Without question the biggest steal in the draft in my eyes! I have stayed on the #TeamTeddy bandwagon all year and he still remains number three overall on my board. Under Norv Turner I think Bridgewater will be an assassin, using his sky-high intelligence and sharp accuracy to pick defenses apart. This is the perfect landing spot for Bridgewater as he doesn't have the pressure of being a top five pick and now he can play with a big chip on his shoulder. I fully expect Bridgewater to be a star quarterback in the NFL.

Teachers aren't always recognized for their work, but today 20 got a big thank you.
Some teachers at Sharon Dawes Elementary School in Kanawha County were each awarded $50 gift cards from Walmart to use for school supplies for their classroom.
Many teachers have to use their own funds to buy these supplies. Steve Pennington was one of today's recipients.
"Here at Sharon Dawes -- I feel that we have a good community and glad to be here -- feel real honored because I know there's probably lots of other teachers in other schools that would like to have the same $50-gift card that they could use there also," he said.
The cards were part of Walmart's Teacher Awards program.

Locating a Natural Reef
- Just like artificial reefs , natural reefs are usually designated on a NOAA marine chart. Local fishing charts will also locate reefs. Rock piles are the same way - they may or may not be designated on a chart.
- The same locating methods we use for finding artificial reefs are used here. Use all the locating and marking tools so you know exactly what lies beneath you.
Anchor or Drift?
- Anchoring
Just like artificial reef fishing we need to be sure that we do not anchor right on top of the structure here. But, in this case it becomes more important. This is a natural reef formation, and an anchor can do irreparable damage when dropped right into the formation.
Most natural reefs and all rock piles stick up off the bottom and are surrounded by comparatively flat, sandy bottom. What we need to do is position the boat to anchor in the sand either in front of the structure or alongside the structure. This does two things - it protects the reef from anchor damage and it allows us to fish without losing all our tackle to the reef.
- Drifting
When fishing over natural reef formations, drifting, instead of anchoring, offers a chance to cover the entire reef. After marking the structure and getting a feel for the edges and ends, it is possible to set a drift line that will send the boat alongside the reef structure and allow your bait to be presented to more fishable area.
In my case, I prefer to drift rather than anchor if at all possible. It saves the reef from anchor damage and actually allows me to catch more fish.
How to Fish the Reef
- If You Anchor
- Plan to fish on the bottom as close to the structure as possible but not on top of it.
- Use Cut or live bait. Live bait usually gets more bites and attracts bigger fish, but cut bait or dead bait can work well.
- Use tackle heavy enough to keep a big fish from running to a hole. You have to be the judge here. If you are fishing with a big, live, bait, you can expect a big fish to bite. Put the bait on the right tackle!
- Keep the drag set tight enough to stop a big fish from running to a hole. The closer you fish to the structure the more likely you are to draw a big fish off the structure to eat. The farther your bait is from the structure the less likely you are to draw suspicious fish away from their cover - they did not get to be big by being stupid!
- And one last time - don't drop a bait right on top of the reef. You will lose your tackle to the reef or break off when a fish takes you to his hole. It simply does not work well.
- If You Drift
- Drifting offer a variety of options that anchoring ignores.
- Drift Alongside the Reef
Keep you bait close to the bottom and use your rod to move it as close to the reef as possible. Your drift should take you right down the side of the structure and cover a lot of territory.
- Fish the Water Column
Some fish on a reef or rock pile will suspend up in the water column. If your bait is close to the bottom, you pass under them. So vary the depth of your bait as you drift by the reef.
- Free Line Live Bait
As you drift, don't rule out free lining some live bait. In this case is OK to allow your bait to come over the top of the reef. It won't hang up on anything because it is up in the water column. This can be a deadly method to catch some large non-bottom fish - mackerel, barracuda, jacks, amberjack, cobia - the list goes on.
A special note has to be made about chumming. Chumming is done most often when anchored, and most often with a bag of mulched fish parts. I grind up my fish parts after I clean fish and freeze them. I use a red mesh onion bag for the frozen chum that works well and is disposable when I finish. I hang the bag off the stern of the boat and shake it to release these tidbits. You can see lots of chumming options here.

1Hohenpeissenberg Meteorological Observatory, German Meteorological Service (DWD), Hohenpeissenberg, Germany
2Central Institut for Meteorology and Geodynamics Austria (ZAMG), Vienna, Austria
3German Environmental Protection Agency (UBA), Zugspitze, Germany
4Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (EMPA), Duebendorf, Switzerland
Abstract. Long-term, ground based in-situ observations of Ozone (O3) and its precursor gases Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and Carbon monoxide (CO) from the four sites Hohenpeissenberg and Zugspitze (D), Sonnblick (A) and Jungfraujoch (CH) are presented for the period 1995–2007. These Central European alpine mountain observatories cover an altitude range of roughly 1000 to 3500 m. Comparable analytical methods and common quality assurance (QA) procedures are used at all sites. For O3 and CO, calibration is linked to primary calibrations (O3) or CO standards provided by the Central Calibration Laboratory (CCL) at NOAA/ESRL. All stations have been audited by the World Calibration Centre (WCC) for CO and O3 (WCC-Empa; CH). Data from long-term measurements of NO2 and CO are only available from Hohenpeissenberg and Jungfraujoch. Both sites show slightly decreasing mixing ratios of the primarily emitted NO2 and the partly anthropogenically emitted CO between 1995 and 2007. The findings are generally consistent with shorter observation periods at Zugspitze and Sonnblick and thus are considered to represent regional changes in Central European atmospheric composition at this altitude range. Over the same period 1995–2007, the O3 mixing ratios have slightly increased at three of the four sites. This was observed independent of wind sector and for most seasons, with a tendency to higher positive trends in winter and lower and partly negative trends in summer. Trends are often more pronounced in winter and less in summer; highest declines of NO2 and CO are observed in winter and the lowest in summer, whereas the highest rate of O3 increase was detected in winter and lowest in summer, respectively. Weekly cycles demonstrate anthropogenic impact at all elevations with enhanced NO2 on working days compared to weekends. Enhanced O3 values on working days indicating photochemical production from anthropogenic precursors are only observed in summer, whereas in all other seasons anti-correlation with NO2, was found due to reduced O3 values on working days. Trends are discussed with respect to anthropogenic impacts and vertical mixing. The observed trends for NO2 at the alpine mountain sites are less pronounced than trends estimated based on emission inventories.

"...East Prong feature between Teewinot and Mount Owen about 500 feet below an area that requires a notably challenging climbing move" Anyone know what this might consist of? Just wondering if it is normal to do unroped, unprotected as his partners were not concerned until they summited and he wasn't there. Tragic nontheless. www.nationalparkstraveler.com/2012/07/salt-lake-city-man-who>>>
I read this yesterday too. I was confused as to why the rest of the group would leave him behind in the first place. High in the mountains is not a place to ditch anybody (even if it is on "easy" terrain). If he was having trouble at a spot, perhaps they could have offered him some kind of assistance. Also wondered if (like you asked) this was commonly done un-roped.
"he separated from his group and moved ahead of them on the route... Park officials say the Utah man separated from his partners as they were completing the final rappels off of a shoulder peak west of Teewinot Mountain. The last time Mr. Tietze's party saw him was about 10:30 a.m. His group continued the climb and summited Mount Owen where they waited for their friend. After he failed to meet his group on the summit, the three partners backtracked and attempted a search for their friend until 7:30 p.m." Is anyone else confused by this? He separated from them and moved ahead of them... going down? His partners were completing "final rappels", so... they were descending on ropes right? And if they were, why wasn't he? It then goes on to say "His group continued to climb..."- weren't they just completing final rappels? Does this route require a rap in from the top? Does the author know his ass from a hole in the ground? Am I just a dipshit that's reading this wrong and can't put it together chronologically?
Leeroy, please review Guideline #1. Jake, since it's a traverse, my guess is that the route requires some rappels, and apparently they were on the last section that required a rap. The victim evidently set out (for the summit of Mt. Owen) before the entire group finished the rap, and he fell on a dicey move, ahead of the rest of the group.
It was a traverse with several peaks involved so there was some rappelling in the middle. If its a scramble then it would not be uncommon for someone(s) to move ahead instead of waiting for the ropes to be pulled and packed (gets you out of carrying the rope, right). Given they didn't look for him until the next summit leads me to believe it is stanard practice to do that section unroped but I am not familiar with it.
This completely proves that you're not a dramatic troll seeking to start shit. Congrats. My question was an honest one, and there were two people also someone confused by what was in the article. You took the chance to jump in, call someone a dipshit, and pour your senseless derision on yet another post without offering anything that would add to the discussion- per your usual useless fare. Then you proceed to proclaim that you are a victim of overmoderation and further proclaim this place is a cesspool, one which you apparently cannot get enough of- all while contributing nothing but bullshit. I hope this answers your question.
You had a legit question Jake; like you, I too was confused about the article and what exactly happened. +1 to all those who call DB's out on worthless, mean posts - and +1 for MP trying to clean it up some!
Super Tragic!
In my experience, normal to climb without a rope on much of the Traverse. Only used on the North Ridge of the Grand and a couple of raps along the way. Jake, hopefully what others have said about the route will answer some of your questions. If you check out a map (or Google Earth) of the terrain involved, it will probably make more sense. The terrain is typical alpine- complex with lots of 4th class terrain funneling climbers into various sections of more technical climbing. Variations certainly possible at a number of points along the Teewinot-Owen section. I suspect at this point there are still a lot of unknowns that may or may not remain that way depending on how much morei information the other members of the party may give. ON ANOTHER NOTE: I don't know who does this, but could a mod maybe move this typical meaningless Leroy hijack to a different thread (or delete it entirely)? It's disgusting to see it overtake a thread involving a fatal accident. Jake, in the future just try to ignore the sad pot-stirrings of a lonely, attention-craving man.
Indeed I will Nick. Thanks for the clarification and explanation.
Thanks for the link. I wasn't sure if this was part of the grand traverse or not. After reading the description and seeing the words down climbing 5.4 that did it for me. Just easy enough to be confident and just hard enough to be difficult. Perfect simul (down)climb terrain but since it is part of a very long route time is always an issue.
It was so nice when Yarp finally disappeared from the forums... leave it to some bored-ass ruining an awesome name like Leeroy.
Agreed; Leeroy you appear to be an unpleasant, unhelpful chap.

Responding to the Time-Based Failures of the Criminal Law Through a Criminal Sunset Amendment
Richard Myers
University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill - School of Law
Boston College Law Review, Forthcoming
UNC Legal Studies Research Paper No. 1109260
The libertarian genius of the drafters of the United States Constitution was in separation of powers. They recognized that liberty is best defended when it is difficult to pass a law, and they split power vertically and horizontally, within the federal government, between the states and the federal government, between the executive, legislative and judicial branches, and they barred some laws from being passed at all. But they missed a dimension: Time. The same obstructive genius intended to defend liberty stymies attempts to restore liberty. This article proposes a constitutional amendment that would redress that oversight, and create a 25-year limit on the effect of all criminal legislation. By so doing, it would permit each generation to choose for itself the behavior it believes worthy of condemnation. It will force regular legislative oversight of the status of the criminal code in each of the several states and the nation. And it will reset the checks and balances each generation in favor of liberty. Additionally, it will redistribute power between the branches by reducing the incentives under the current system to turn to the courts to create new conceptions of substantive due process to redress perceived process failures. This article is intended to provoke a renewed discussion of the issues of generational entrenchment, overcriminalization, and the structural bases that result in what Professor William Stuntz has called the pathological politics of the criminal law. It explores some of the potential objections, in hopes that this article will trigger a conversation among the various commentators on the criminal law regarding the missing temporal dimension of the law.

Russell Athletic Losing Another College Team
While the move isn't set in stone, Ohio University (of the MAC) has put out an RFP regarding its equipment contract for major sports. If they sign with another apparel provider (likely Adidas, Nike, or Under Armour), there will be only 9 college football teams at any level that wear uniforms by Russell Athletic. As it stands today, there are only 6 FBS schools using Russell, and, of those, Georgia Tech is the only team in a BCS-AQ conference to wear the R logo. Not only that, but Tech is the only "major university" to wear the brand. After a height of popularity in the 1990's, the apparel provider is under new management from Fruit of the Loom (and parent Berkshire Hathaway) since 2006, with new headquarters in Bowling Green, Kentucky (though BGSU uses Adidas) and makes most of its equipment sales in youth and high school sports. Former Alumni Association President Joe Irwin is just one prominent alumnus whose career went through Russell Corp when it was located in Alexander City, Alabama under its historic Southern business regime. Rumor has it these alumni connections are the key (and glue) to Georgia Tech's unique and faithful relationship with the brand.

Teaching reading, writing and arithmetic is important to Amy Smith, a third grade teacher at Westward Elementary in Slaton. But beyond those core subjects Smith puts tremendous effort into teaching her students the benefits of saying please and thank you.
It is possibly one of the most important lessons she will ever share with her students - the value of treating others with respect, but most importantly recognizing it's something you deserve in return.
"They're a reflection of me good and bad. You know if they act up it's a reflection on me," says Smith.
Judging by the students in Smith's classroom, those reflections are almost always positive. But Smith isn't just known for her emphasis on manners, it's the time she spends with students outside of the classroom that makes the biggest impact.
"She's my tutoring teacher and she's nice," says Brittani Sackett, a third grader in Smith's class.
For Smith, spending extra time with students like Brittani is one of the best parts of the job.
"I enjoy it and I couldn't imagine myself doing anything else," says Smith.
Her students couldn't agree more
"The best thing about third grade is being in here with Mrs. Smith," says Brittani.
"She helps us a lot," says Omar Flores, a third grader in Smith's class.
It's her time spent both inside and outside of the classroom that makes Smith a teacher you can count on.
"I just knew always growing up that I wanted to teach and help kids. I just consider myself a second mom to these kids," says Smith.
If you know of a teacher you think we need to recognize, send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.

BARKERS Creek cycling star Lachlan Norris is aiming to shine with Drapac's team once again.
After spending most of 2013 racing with Raleigh in Europe, Norris has rejoined Drapac.
The 17-rider squad includes Bendigo cyclists Darren Lapthorne and Robbie Hucker.
The first major hit-out for Drapac, which now has Pro Continental status, was last weekend's Australian road cycling titles in and near Ballarat.
An 183.6km contest, which included 18 laps of the Buninyong circuit ended with Lapthorne in sixth place as "big guns" Simon Gerrans, Cadel Evans and Richie Porte won gold, silver and bronze.
Drapac's great run included Travis Meyer at 11th, Wesley Sulzberger 15th, Bernard Sulzberger at 16th, Norris at 18th, and Hucker in 26th place.
Although they did not achieve a top-three placing, the Drapac line-up showed plenty.
"Darren Lapthorne rode brilliantly to be sixth," Norris said on Monday.
"We knew he would do well," he said of the 2007 national road champion's skill.
Norris said the Drapac squad had a great battle with Orica GreenEDGE.
"They had just a bit too much power for us at the end. Gerrans, Evans and Porte showed just how classy they are.
"The field for this national road title was the strongest I have raced against."
The focus has quickly switched to this Sunday's start to the Tour Down Under in South Australia.
Norris is a reserve for the tour, but will be in Adelaide on Friday for the team presentation.
He rejoined Drapac at the start of the year and is eagerly awaiting next month's Jayco-backed Herald Sun Tour.
The classic will be contested from February 5 to 9 and includes a stage from Ballarat to Bendigo and going over roads and hills that Norris knows well.
For Norris it will be a fourth start in the Tour.
His most recent tour campaign in the Jayco-VIS colours ended in team victory.
Although there were fluctuating fortunes throughout last year's racing in Euorpe, Norris said he learnt a lot.
"There was a lot of criterium racing and some tours."
The biggest highlight was a Tour of Britain start.
"Not a lot went right for our team in that race."
Most of the Raleigh team's racing was centred on the United Kingdom or in France.
Now back at Drapac, Norris said racing goals in 2014 included the Asian classics and races in the United States.
The 26-year-old is also aiming to race in the time trial at the Oceania championships.
An Australian representative at multiple world mountain bike campaigns, Norris said his focus for this year was squarely on road cycling.
The cyclist's feats over the years have earned monthly awards in the Bendigo Advertiser Sports Star of the Year.
The long-running awards are proudly backed by Bendigo Bank and WIN Television.
As 2014 rolls on, Lachlan Norris will be chasing individual and team success with Drapac Pro Cycling on roads around the world.

Natalie's Review
Bonny Doon Vineyard Beeswax Vineyard Le Cigare Blanc Roussanne Grenache Blanc 2008, Arroyo Seco, Central Coast, California, United States: Vintages Wine Panel: Winemaker/iconoclast Randall Grahm continues his exploration of the Rhône varieties in a California context, with this white blend of Roussanne and Grenache Blanc. The vineyard surely is appropriately named (Beeswax) because this wine features aromas of honeycomb, nectarine, mango and sweetgrass. Just bordering on off-dry, the wine is richly fruity, fresh and lively. Drink it as an aperitif throughout this summer and into the next one. Beeswax Vineyard is certified biodynamic by Demeter. My note: Lemon and tree fruit: lovely not buttery. Asian pear and quince wrapped in a whiff of smoke. Thanks Randall. Drink: 2011-2015. 95331 14.30% D 750 mL $29.95 Score: 91/100.

Does anyone lube there cables on there tractors?
I have a special clamp thingy that connects to a spray can that forces cable lube into the cable housing while the cable is still in it. We used it on motor cycles to keep the cables lubed and free. With these cables being so expensive it could be a way of extending there life?
Even spraying some PB Blaster into the cable housing would work too.
I'm just wondering if anyone does this and how often do you do it?

Four Teams Boycott Cactus League Welcome Breakfast
To name names: White Sox, Dodgers, Reds, Angels Alleged reason: to protest the proposed ticket surcharge Response from me: grow up. How about discussing the issue in good faith, instead of playing the old schoolyard game, "I'm taking my ball and going home!" Undoubtedly, the ringleader is Jerry Reinsdorf.

Wednesday begins the Lenten season for millions of Christians and several pastors in our area decided to take Lent to where people meet and even drive.
Not everyone is comfortable going to a church and they may not belong to a church. Pastor Dave Barnhart decided he would share the traditional Lenten ashes and message with people who are on the go.
Pastor Barnhart says he's giving people a 'window of opportunity' to pray and receive ashes in the sign of the cross as they sit in their car. He decided to do this at a former mechanic shop near Crestwood Park.
"I think God meets us where we are in the faith journey. To be in
your car, maybe that's a time we need to repent sometimes. On the commute,
some aren't the nicest people in the world, but the idea that God calls us to
repent, and to return to him anytime during the course of our day, throughout
the course of our lives," Barnhart said.
Barnhart is an ordained United Methodist minister who founded Saint Junia Church. Services are held at the Girls, Inc. building in Crestwood not far from where he administered Lenten ashes.
Even though his congregation doesn't have its own building, Pastor Barnhart thought it was important to bring Christ's message to the people, much as Christ did.
"Most of the times in Jesus' ministry, he was out in the streets, the market places. So we're really out in the streets and marketplaces of Birmingham, and allow people to repent and hear the good news and prepare for Easter," said Barnhart.
In the same spirit, St. Luke's Episcopal Church also offered a Lenten Service in Linn Park at noon and distributed ashes at the north pavilion at UAB Hospital from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

A grain bin fire in Beaman on Tuesday is being blamed on electrical issues.
The Beaman Fire Department was called to the 19,000th mile of 100th Street in Marshall County about a mile south of Beaman at around 2:52 p.m. on Tuesday for a reported grain bin fire.
Firefighters, who believed the fire was limited to the top part of the bin, brought in a bucket truck at around 4 p.m. to cut a hole in the wall of the bin to drain out the burnt corn. Crews estimate about 5,000 bushels of corn were drained out.
Firefighters were able to clear the scene at around 7:30 p.m..
The Grundy County Sheriff's Office says the grain bin is owned by Stan Neff of Beaman.

The Big East was never in real danger of having an automatic berth-winner that would not have otherwise qualified for the 2011 NCAA Tournament. But with Connecticut's 69-66 victory over Louisville in the Big East Championship, the Huskies may have pulled off the greatest accomplishment in conference tournament history.
Kemba Walker, as usual, was fantastic for the Huskies: he had 19 points, staked UConn to a huge first half lead, and made a splendid pass to Jeremy Lamb for the lay-up that gave his team a lead it would not relinquish. Walker's Big East Tournament performance set all sorts of records, and his 130 points over UConn's unprecedented five wins in five days will likely be emblazoned in lore for a long, long time. Heroism isn't quite right for sports, but there are certainly heroics, and Kemba Walker's play over the last five days qualifies.
With the win, expect UConn to get a 2 or 3 seed from the NCAA Selection Committee; Louisville might well be a 3 seed if the Huskies get a 2.
