Once known for large-scale emigration, Greece has become the main point of entry for unauthorized migrants heading toward Europe. The country must now — amid economic turmoil — grapple with issues related to its highly porous borders, mounting asylum applications, and inadequate immigrant-detention system.
In a highly selective way, flows of internal migrants within Taiwan have responded quickly to political, economic, and social changes throughout the nation's history, and have spurred development of the country's industrial, services, and technological industries. In the past 20 years, however, international migration has reemerged in relevance and now includes the immigration of foreign workers and wives and the emigration of some of Taiwan's best and brightest.
Canada has long been a country of net immigration and has designed its current immigration policy around attracting highly educated and skilled migrants for entry into its labor force. In this country profile, Ashley Challinor discusses the challenges associated with this approach and provides a sense of the actual scale and nature of migration into Canada.
The realities of poverty, underemployment, and a large working-age population mean that international labor migration is an expected and necessary part of life for many Bangladeshi men and women. Nazli Kibria of Boston University explains the challenges and opportunities facing Bangladesh as the small nation struggles to balance the need for economic migration and its resulting remittances with the protection of its citizens abroad.
Ronald Skeldon of the University of Sussex maps out the past and present migration patterns of China — the source of tens of millions of migrants around the globe — and discusses the country's budding status as an immigrant-receiving nation.

The discussion guide offers a brief demographic and statistical profile of the immigrant student population in the United States, with comparison points drawn to Germany, sketches the broad policy implications of the demographic data, and provides a set of policy and practice issues in immigrant education and integration to facilitate a Roundtable inquiry in two areas: early childhood care and education, and secondary education.
This book reflects the effort of the Transatlantic Council on Migration to map how profound demographic change is likely to affect the size and character of global migration flows; and how governments can shape immigration policy in a world increasingly attuned to the hunt for talent.
This report traces the evolution of the link between international study and skilled migration, outlines policy methods that OECD countries are using to recruit and retain international students, identifies policy challenges through a close examination of existing policies and trends, and predicts how the economic recession will affect future international student flows.
The Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA) and Europe appear to be an ideal demographic match: the former has a large supply of young, active workers, and the latter has a shortage of the youthful, skilled or unskilled labor it needs to sustain its economic competitiveness. MENA is the source of 20 million first-generation migrants, half of them now living in another MENA country and most of the rest in Europe. The region also hosts around the same number within its borders. In addition, the size of MENA's working-age population will continue to rise sharply in the next two decades while the corresponding segment of the population in Europe will soon start to decline.
China and India are major players in international migration. Both countries have very large populations that will continue to grow in the coming years. The available pool of potential migrants from China and India will remain high although population size and density (known as demographic variability) will change from year to year in both countries.
This report looks at the trends and emerging demographics in Asia. From 1960 to 2000, the region experienced a major population boom, however, by 2040, the 15-to-34 age group population will start to shrink.
A look at Mexico's slowing population growth, which, coupled with economic developments and changes in U.S. immigration policy (including stricter border control), has resulted in a slight slowdown in Mexican immigration to the United States relative to the 1995 to 2000 period.

Tuesday, January 09, 2007
Before I hurl myself completely into 2007, let me share one last bit of 2006 magic. I know, I know...I should have shared this little miracle when it happened, but other posts pushed their way past, and this was left in my "archives". Coming upon it now, I still feel the mixture of joy and disbelief I first felt when I saw them...all cozy and earthy in their basket, propped up in the produce section of Santis Rockwell (a specialty food store that gladly takes my hard earned money). I grabbed the nearest salesperson, "Are th-th-those chanterelles?" She smiled and nodded.
You must understand, I love mushrooms. I buy them every chance I get. I can eat them everyday, in spite of dire warnings from yogis that "things grown in dark places" are not good for the chakras (or whatever it is yogis look after). I remember with longing the markets in Helsinki and Amsterdam…crates of wild mushrooms that looked like they had been only minutes from the forest….a burly purveyor in an old cap, a little dirt still on his hands, helping me pick out that night's dinner.
Here in my sunny islands, you can get fresh mushrooms. Button is available, along with Asian mushrooms like shiitake, oyster, and enoki. More and more interesting finds are available in our markets. You may also find portabellos, but they will cost you. But wild mushrooms like chanterelles, morels, porcini, and trompettes des morts are only available dried…and not cheap either! Now, the mushrooms readily available in our local markets are absolutely delicious, and I do explore these guys extensively, but I miss those wild mushrooms.
So, you can imagine my delight when I saw these chanterelles. Never mind that they probably went on a long journey to get here and the forest was already just a sweet memory for them. Never mind that they came with a hefty price tag (just under P1500/kilo). They were fresh (not dried) and they were here! I eagerly picked out a small portion and rushed back home to peruse recipes.
I settled on a recipe by David Tanis from Saveur Magazine (November 2005 issue) in a feature called An American Cooks in Paris. I liked it for its simplicity, and as I had no idea when I would ever come across fresh chanterelles again, I wanted a recipe that would showcase the flavor of the mushroom, with no other distractions.
The recipe (actually it is more like a lesson as there are no exact measurements or volumes) is for Wild Mushroom Sauté and includes more than one type of mushroom. It's an excellent basic recipe for any mushroom and is still one of my favorite ways to prepare them.
Wild Mushroom Sauté
(from Saveur Magazine November 2005 issue, page 72)
- Spread mushrooms out to dry and clean them. Trim of brown spots. Cut off bottoms and split them to remove dirt. If they are really dirty just swish them around in some warm tap water.
- Roughly slice the mushrooms.
- Heat some extra virgin olive oil in a sauté pan, add one clove of minced garlic, cook for a minute, raise the heat, and throw in the mushrooms (thickest first if using different types).
- Sauté for about 4-5 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper then toss in some chopped parsley.
- Get the mushrooms off the fire and turn out onto a plate.
Simple and perfect…especially for my chanterelle "harvest" as this really highlights the mushroom's flavor without much accoutrement. I was in mushroom heaven! This was one of those meals eaten with eyes closed, in hope that it wouldn't end. Isn't it amazing how a single ingredient can transport you?
If the chanterelles and I ever cross paths again, I will be looking for recipes on The Flying Apple and Nami-Nami, two blogs that I know to have great ways with chanterelles (as I am usually at the comment box, green with envy at the mushrooms they find and cook).
***I asked the staff of Santis when they will have chanterelles again. They said that supply isn't regular so they can't predict. Sigh…I supposed some things are all the more magical because you never know when they will choose to grace your life again…

Glad you found fresh chantarelles! It's been unusually warm here, so few weeks ago they were still selling fresh chantarelles from the islands at the market here!! I'm, however, happily eating through my pickled and salted wild mushrooms, so no need to buy any fresh ones just yet:)
Will bookmark your recipe, too! - 3:51 PM
- Midge said...
Mushrooms aren't good for your chakras?! That's rather unusual as most Oriental medics recommend mushrooms in one form or another to cure a number of ills.
Oooooh! Sauteed chanterelles: I haven't had any in such a long time. They go perfectly with grilled pork (well, just about anything off the grill, as a matter of fact!).
I called my suking Santi's just now to check if they still had any in stock and was told they were fresh out. Woe is me! Still, I loved reading your post about them. - 4:52 PM
- Socky said...
Mushrooms are high in uric acid, which causes arthritis or gout. But who cares? I love mushrooms. There's something about things that grow in dark places.... that just makes mushrooms more seductive.
- Baking Soda said...
Oh I imagine a slice of really good toasted bread underneath...just the way to enjoy mushrooms. Love it!
- Tanna said...
Well, Baking Soda's bread would be perfect I'm sure-her bread is wonderful. I would also find these mushrooms perfect on some polenta!

that's exactly how i cook any wild mushrooms i could get my hands on - so simple yet tasty! i love it with freshly baked baguettes. there's a farmer's market every saturday in nottinghill and i always buy chanterelles whenever i see some. oh the joy of being in london! am so happy for you getting some of those in manila!
- veron said...
some mushrooms are good for the immune system. I love wild mushrooms! I'm not sure if this works for chanterelles but during the short morel season, I order like 5 lbs of it , clean it and saute them briefly in butter then freeze it in batches to be used as needed.
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Pille! Oh, to have my own source of wild mushrooms, enough to be able to pickle and salt and store for when there is none :) I have been on the lookout since I found this batch…if I find more perhaps I will buy more than I need and pickle/salt some to store! :)
Hi Midge! I just heard that, since they grow in the dark, we shouldn't have it that often…but I think, considering the things I love to eat (in wild abandon no less), I may have bigger fish to fry health-wise! I'll keep checking, and next time I find them I'll post immediately! Let me know if ever you come across them too :)
Hi Socky! I agree, mushrooms are seductive! But gout, ah yes, and arthritis...the way I eat I have to add heart attack and clogged arteries to that list...hmmm, I think it's time for a veggie post...
Hi Baking Soda! This time around I just had them by themselves in all their mushroom-y glory...but on warm toast sounds wonderful! Next time :)
Hi Tanna! I've never made polenta, although it has intrigued me...maybe soon! :)
Hi Elna! Sigh...I miss my markets in Europe...but then again, I could never find mangoes and mangosteens and bangus and taba ng talangka! Hehe, I guess we just have to "love the one your with", and be happy knowing that wherever you go in the world, there will always be some goody waiting to be discovered! :)
Hi Veron! Great to hear that some are good for the immune system...thanks for the good news :) Do you think the freezing will work? Because I will SO do that if I find another batch...if it works for morels it should work for chanterelles right? (hope, hope) - 1:14 PM
- christine said...
YUM!! Now THIS is more my thang! I never really knew what these mushrooms were called at the time, but I would get a bunch of them, assorted ones and fix them up pretty much the same way you did, with as little spices/herbs as possible so you could taste the real juices of the shroom.
Looking back now, I think I can safely assume they were chanterelles, oyster (I still couldn't tell these 2 apart)and porcini. I would either add them to my noodle stir-fries or have them on the side after sauteing with olive oil, garlic and salt. Portobellos always got stuffed! And each time with different ingredients. :) - 5:33 PM
- veron said...
I think it will work with chanterelles. The fat in the butter insulates it enough to preserve it. I would say saute it until almost done, let it cool,partition into ziploc then freeze.
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Nens! Yum! You have to teach me your stir fry's...so I'm not always stooping over a bubbling pot for hours! :) Definitely mushrooms would be good though....mmmm! Try grilling your portobellos...a cross between a mushroom and a steak! (oh, and please pass on your stuffing recipes for the portobellos too!)
Hi Veron! Thanks! I will remember this for the next time these little treasures cross my path :) - 12:38 AM
- Pamela said...
I LOVE mushrooms and this really sounds like a winning recipe to me!!
- Brilynn said...
Oh you and I would get along quite well! I suspect you would also be jealous to know that morels grow in my backyard. They're fickle and do as they please and hide on me as much as possible, but they are well worth the search! I also have a friend who grows mushrooms and has been trying for quite some time to grow morels, I have my fingers crossed that it will happen soon. Lovely dish!
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Pamela! We have something in common :) It's a nice simple recipe for when you just want to enjoy the mushroom-ness of it all!
Hi Brilynn! We would definitely get along well! I would be rooting around your backyard for those morels, that's for sure :) - 12:37 AM
- Meeta said...
I love all types of mushrooms too. But chanterelles are so very aromatic and my faves. And Joey, forget those yogis.
This is the perfect quick dinner with some garlic bread or as Tanna said with polenta. - 4:46 AM
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Meeta! Heeheehee...yes, I will eat these wonderfully aromatic lovelies each chance I get :) Hmmm...really must try my hand at polenta one day...
Hi, Joey! I love mushrooms, too! I just got some dried chanterelle from Rustan's. Will try your recipe when I get back home. Glad to know we have something in common... :->
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Claudine! Yes, mushrooms are sooo good! In Santi's they also have a dried wild mushrooms mix, but I do hope I encounter fresh ones again someday :)
- Kalyn said...
Just stopping back to let you know I'm featuring your recipe and photo for my South Beach Friendly recipes of the week, with a photo credit for you and a link to your recipe of course. Truly a lovely recipe.
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Kalyn! My goodness! I am so flattered and quite thrilled to get a second dish on your South Beach Friendly recipes list! Thank you!

A growing body of research suggests that there's a link between how much people sleep and how much they weigh. In general, children and adults who get too little sleep tend to weigh more than those who get enough sleep. (1)
For example, in the Nurses' Health Study, researchers followed roughly 60,000 women for 16 years, asking them about their weight, sleep habits, diet, and other aspects of their lifestyle. (2) At the start of the study, all of the women were healthy, and none were obese; 16 years later,women who slept 5 hours or less per night had a 15 percent higher risk of becoming obese, compared to women who slept 7 hours per night. Short sleepers also had 30 percent higher risk of gaining 30 pounds over the course of the study, compared to women who got 7 hours of sleep per night.
There are several possible ways that sleep deprivation could increase the chances of becoming obese. (1) Sleep-deprived people may be too tired to exercise, decreasing the "calories burned" side of the weight-change equation. Or people who don't get enough sleep may take in more calories than those who do, simply because they are awake longer and have more opportunities to eat; lack of sleep also disrupts the balance of key hormones that control appetite, so sleep-deprived people may be hungrier than those who get enough rest each night.

Cyber-Theft from Our Nation's Banks a Growing Threat
We are all suffering from the mistaken idea that our money is "safe" after we put it in a bank. The fact is your money is at risk every day as it sits in your bank or with your financial services provider. It isn't necessarily because those institutions will waste it, misspend it, or invest it badly. It's because of the newest yet the oldest financial problem, bank robbery.
Now, it isn't that we have to worry about a resurgence of the old fashioned way of robbing banks. Criminals aren't stealing millions by running into bank lobbies and making frightened cashiers empty out tills into pillow cases. No, the problem is the new, self-styled cyber-criminal using the Internet to steal millions from banks, and often the theft happens days before the bank is even aware it occurred.
Cyber-theft is a growing and dangerous problem. Unfortunately, many banks and other financial services haven't taken enough measures to stop or even detect these thefts until it is too late. Worse, in many cases banks and financial services are telling account holders — that would be you and me — that the loss is irretrievable and, well, you are just out of luck. The cash is gone and there's nothing that can be done about it.
Most of these cyber-thieves are from Ukraine or other former Soviet Bloc countries and it's been going on for nearly 20 years. Specializing in Corporate Account Takeover's (CATs), these foreign thieves create fake accounts and via the Internet worm their way into the computer records of banks and their customers and successfully transfer millions in relatively small amounts to untraceable accounts.
And the dirty little secret: unlike our individual bank accounts that are covered by FDIC insurance, the accounts of small businesses, non-profits, cities and their police and fire departments (i.e. your tax dollars) are NOT covered by any such insurance guarantees. So once the money is gone, it's gone forever.
The scariest thing is that banks and financial services seem more interested in spending large sums of money on lawyers charged with preventing account holders from suing to get their lost money back than they are in putting in place preventive measures to stop the theft in the first place.
But things are heating up for these recalcitrant banks though.
For instance, TRC Operating Company, an independent oil producer based in Taft, California, is suing its bank to recover $299,600 that organized cyber thieves stole from the company accounts held at United Security Bank of Fresno.
TRC isn't the only one. CAT victims are starting to demand compensation from banks asleep at the switch. Recently in California, Village View Escrow Company of Redondo Beach was successful in winning a settlement sufficient enough to cover its legal costs for suing its bank plus some extra.
In Michigan a state circuit judge ruled that banks and financial services had to offer more than bland apologies in CAT cases. The standard of "good hearts, empty heads," the judged said, doesn't meet the demands of reasonable protection for customer's accounts.
Also, in Portland, Maine, Patco Construction won a suit against its bank for a CAT theft. The court ruled that even though the bank had instituted cyber security measures to industry standards, those standards are so deficient as to have made the bank's efforts unsatisfactory.
These major cases show that CAT victims are neither remaining silent, nor taking their loss without seeking redress. Banks and the financial services industry need to step up their game on cyber security and lawmakers should act to bring more transparency to the process. The days of just doing a minimal job at prevent cyber-theft must end and better theft prevention measures instituted. Customers already expect that their money is safe in the bank, it's time to ensure that it is.

Spurs Ticket Info
The San Antonio Spurs were so close to winning their fifth NBA Title last season. After a great run in the Western Conference throughout the regular season, San Antonio looked poised to make a deep run in the NBA Playoffs. Led by veteran head coach Gregg Poppovich, the Spurs did not disappoint. With a roster led by future Hall of Fame Power Forward Tim Duncan, San Antonio was one of the most fundamentally sound teams in the NBA.
After winning the Western Conference with relative ease, the Spurs were matched up with the defending champion Miami Heat in the '13 NBA Finals. San Antonio grabbed a 3-2 series lead through five games, but could not finish off LeBron James and company in either of the final two games. The Heat stormed back to win Game 6 and held off San Antonio in Game 7 to bring home their second straight NBA Championship. Although the result was not what the Spurs had hoped for, they can still look back and be very proud of their accomplishments last season. They will look to avenge their loss to the Heat and bring another title back to the Alamo.
Don't miss any of the Spurs games this season with the help of GoTickets. We have a great selection of seats for any of the upcoming games on the San Antonio Spurs schedule.

Hi everyone;
I am not sure if this will work or not, but here goes...
My name is Nicole and I am an alcoholic. My sobriety date is Dec 29, 2005, so I've got a long way to go. I love reading these forums and appreciate all for the sharing. From this side on my screen, I can see the caring and the honesty with each other and all of you sober drunks, is very reassuring.
This is not my first time at trying AA. My first time was in 1975. To the best of my estimation, I started drinking around 14-15. My father had purchased a hotel in a remote little village, and for an alcoholic mind like mine, it was too easy. It did not take long for the stealing and lying to start. Left home at 16 but still work for my Dad. Having my own little apartment was very convenient and needless to say, I had lots of "so call friendsâ€

The End of Piano Lessons
Written on May 17, 2013 at 10:51 am , by Paula Chin
Archie has been pretty quiet lately.
Archie is our magnificent 1897 Steinway upright, which I bought soon after my daughter started piano. Because I shared a sitter with a neighboring family, Nat would watch when their two kids had lessons; when she was 4, she asked if she could start them herself. I was delighted—I believe all kids should study piano and learn to read music, at least for a couple years. In elementary school, I took back-to-back piano and violin lessons (like Nat, it was my own choice; I didn't have a Tiger Mom). And so it went—scales, chords, etudes, Ode to Joy, Fur Elise, Tarantella, Pachelbel, the standard child's repertoire. Piano performances with other kids, where Nat and I sometimes played duets. I hadn't touched the keys in decades, but once we got Archie I fell in love all over again (Chopin! Brahms! Beethoven! Joplin!) and connected with the joy and sorrow in the music in a way I never could as a tween.
It was hard work for Nat. It was also a wonderful process of discovery, accomplishment, pride. And it was fun. When we got the refurbished Steinway we learned the tradition was to name it after the model number—in our case, a Model R. We lived with it for a bit before we decided it was a He. But we couldn't come up with a name that fit. The old guy wasn't a Robert, Ricky, Raul, Reggie, Rocky or Rudy. Finally, one day in the car Nat piped up from the back seat. "I got it!" she said. "R-chie!" Brilliant, if I say so myself.
The pieces got longer and harder; so did Nat's homework assignments. I had to cajole and nag her to play. Month after month, I could see her patience fading. She wanted to get practice over with rather than working on those difficult passages over and over until they flowed under her fingers. I gave her the option of quitting, no blame, no shame. She said no, but she never played on her own. So finally I made the decision for her, and after 7-plus years the lessons ended. Both of us were more than a little teary. We miss our wonderful teacher Elizabeth, (as do our cats, who would lay at her feet during lessons), but we are now dear friends and will stay in touch. I'm using the music money on concerts, plays and exhibits, exposing Nat to as much art as possible. And I've told her to take good care of dear old Archie after I'm gone, so he'll be there for her kids—and for her to rediscover, just the way I did.

This is from the same people that said Facebook would 100% buy Opera a while ago. There is no press release from Opera so take it with a grain of salt.
Phoronix: Opera To Release WebKit-Based Web Browser
Next month Opera will be rolling out "Opera Ice", a new web-browser for smart-phones and tablets. This mobile Opera browser won't be built on their Presto engine but rather the popular WebKit engine. Initially this WebKit-browser is just targeting the mobile space but it's expected to eventually land on the desktop too...
This is from the same people that said Facebook would 100% buy Opera a while ago. There is no press release from Opera so take it with a grain of salt.
I really don't know what to make of this. I've been an Opera user for 13 years. I don't hate WebKit but I was under the impression they were very proud of their engine.
Too bad their problems with dark themes are in the UI layer, not in the HTML rendering engine.
im 10 year opera user and i think webkit engine might be a good idea.
their presto engine is good and all that, but it just doesnt grow with new features fast enough.
so i think switching to webkit will grant us, opera users, more rapid updates and features to keep up.
lets wait and see.
One less rendering engine is not good for web standards; especially in the mobile space, where people may already be tempted to target webkit instead of standards because of the Android/iPhone dominance.
Indeed, loosing Opera's rendering engine on both desktop and mobile will be a big blow to web standards.
As much as webkit is cool, it is dangerous if it is "the one and only"...

The N3 is definitely an upgrade to the N1, but its unadventurous body means you'll really only want this for the innovative camera.
While it will begin to cede its position to the PS4 in 2015, the PlayStation 3 still delivers impressively strong value for gaming and video entertainment.
One of last year's best, the iPad Mini 3 is still a compelling choice despite the lack of upgrades. However, the nearly identical and significantly cheaper iPad Mini 2 is a smarter buy.
Xiaomi's Mi 3 is a showcase of how Chinese phonemakers can create quality hardware without breaking the bank. If you don't need 4G LTE, and you can get hold of it, this is one of the best smartphones you can buy in its price range.
Pricing not available
The Parrot MiniDrone Jumping Sumo gives you a ground-level look at your environment as it spins and jumps at your command.
Sony's unique attempt at a big-screen hybrid looks great and is reasonably priced, but it works better as a laptop than a tablet.
Pricing not available
The Last of Us is brutally realistic, often shocking, but undeniably fun to play. It's easily one of the year's best games and the strongest console exclusive in a long time.
It costs a bit more than we'd like, but the Galaxy Tab 3 is Samsung's best non-Note tablet yet.
The LG Marquee's slim design and jam-packed feature set make it Boost Mobile's flagship phone. But its high price (even without a contract) and slow processor will make it a tough sell.
The RIM BlackBerry Torch 9810 should satisfy BlackBerry fans with its responsive touch screen and overall specs, but for $50 more, T-Mobile customers could get the much better Bold 9900 instead.

GAO denies SAIC protest of Defense IT contract
Tuesday - 10/2/2012, 4:18pm EDT
A massive contract awarded to Lockheed Martin in June to manage the Defense Information Systems Agency's Global Information Grid remains in place after the Government Accountability Office denied a bid protest from fellow contractor SAIC.
Shortly after DISA awarded the indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract — worth up to $1.9 billion in the first three years and as much as $4.6 billion over seven years — SAIC filed a protest with GAO.
SAIC claimed DISA had "unreasonably evaluated" the technical risk and the price cited by Lockheed in its bid for the work and did not "meaningfully investigate" whether Lockheed had unequal access to information due to an organizational conflict of interest (OCI), according to a statement from Ralph White, GAO's managing associate general counsel for procurement law.
GAO denied both counts, "concluding that the record reflected that the agency's evaluation of Lockheed's proposal was reasonable and consistent with (the) solicitation's evaluation criteria," according to White's statement. "GAO also concluded that the agency reasonably investigated Lockheed's alleged OCI."
SAIC had managed an earlier version of the Global Information Grid (GIG) Services Management-Operations (GSM-O) contract since 2001 — its single largest contact, Bloomberg News reported at the time the new contract was awarded.
In an emailed statement, Gerry Fasano, president of Lockheed Martin's Information Systems and Global Solutions-Defense unit said DISA "conducted a highly competitive and comprehensive bidding process" for the GSM-O contract and his company submitted an "affordable and innovative solution."
Fasano also said the company remained "transition-ready" during the protest period.
An SAIC spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Manage: Kurt Grimm,
Phone: (620) 876-5730
KDWP managers are field staff and are normally in the field. Please leave a message and they will return your call at their first available chance.
The lake was built in 1955.
Butler State Fishing Lake is located in Butler County 3 miles west and one mile north of Latham, Kansas. The area is a 124 acre lake and is surrounded by 196 acres of Flint Hills prairie. The Lake was drained for rehabilitation in 1980. The lake was refilled and fish were stocked, including largemouth bass, channel catfish, bluegill, redear sunfish. Three earthen fishing piers have been constructed in the lake to increase shoreline area and to provide shore anglers access to deeper water. Most of the land around the lake is native grass and primarily suitable for quail. The upper end of the lake has some dense woody vegetation along the creek bottoms that provide deer and turkey habitat. Waterfowl hunting on the lake can be excellent in the marsh vegetation at the upper end of the lake above the fishing piers.
- No trash policy, please take your trash with you.
- Boats for fishing only. No Wake lake.
- Vehicles must stay on maintained roads.
- No fireworks are allowed.
- This is a No Alcohol Lake

Giants, Padres ready for Labor Day matchup
San Francisco matches Zito against Kennedy in San Diego
Two teams whose 2013 campaigns have not gone according to plan begin their first series of the season's final month Monday at Petco Park, where the Padres host the reigning World Series champion Giants in a Labor Day matinee.
The Padres and Giants -- just one game apart at the bottom of the National League West -- match right-hander Ian Kennedy and lefty Barry Zito in Monday's series opener.
Kennedy, who joined San Diego in a trade with Arizona in July, had a less-than-stellar homecoming against his former squad in his last start, allowing six runs and walking five in 4 1/3 innings.
"I just put myself in holes, putting guys on; I walked a lot of guys," said Kennedy, who is 2-1 with a 4.55 ERA in five starts with the Padres. "It's tough to do that."
One of the reasons San Diego was interested in the right-hander was his resume at Petco Park, where Kennedy is 5-2 with a 2.72 ERA in nine career starts.
Like Kennedy, Zito's 2013 campaign has been a struggle. The Giants veteran has only one winning decision in his last 19 starts, during which he's 1-9 with a 6.14 ERA. San Francisco shuffled its rotation to give Zito an extra day of rest, and he's 17-13 with a 3.78 ERA in 37 career starts under such conditions.
He has a 3.44 ERA in four starts against the Padres this season, though the Giants lost three of those games.
Giants: Bochy careful with Pagan
Center fielder Angel Pagan, who has missed most of the season following left hamstring surgery, did not start Sunday in Arizona. Manager Bruce Bochy said he plans to rest Pagan every few days.
Pagan is 2-for-7 with a double, two walks and a stolen base in two games since being reinstated from the disabled list on Friday.
"It's pretty impressive, [given] the extent of the injury, how well he's doing," Bochy said.
• San Francisco is hitting .306 with runners in scoring position in its last eight games.
Padres: Headley misses another game
Third baseman Chase Headley was out of the lineup for the fourth straight game on Sunday because of lower back stiffness that forced him out of Tuesday's game against the D-backs.
"The back is still bothering him," manager Bud Black said. "He was making progress, and that has sort of reached a plateau. He didn't quite make the progress in the next 24 hours that he did the first 24."
Worth noting
• The Giants lead the season series, 8-5.
• Monday's game continues a string of 20 straight for the Giants against the NL West.
Series probables
Monday: Kennedy (5-9, 5.10 ERA) vs. Zito (4-10, 5.81)
Tuesday: LHP Robby Erlin (2-2, 5.97) vs. LHP Madison Bumgarner (11-9, 2.91)
Wednesday: LHP Eric Stults (8-12, 3.81) vs. RHP Tim Lincecum (8-13, 4.38)

Magnum Photographers
Of Streets and Zoos
View photo details
February 5, 2013
by Richard Kalvar
View profile
The kind of photography I do for pleasure is generally called "Street Photography", but no one who actually does it limits himself or herself to the street. We take pictures wherever we find them, and whether it's on the street or on a farm or at a wedding makes no difference. The key distinction is not between "street and "non-street", but between "found" and "set up".
There's another useful distinction to be made, between situations where it's acceptable to take pictures and those where it's not. Walking around sticking your camera in people's faces when they don't know what you're up to is risky business; photographing at a wedding is generally not (although I photographed at a wedding in Naples in 2011 and got an awful lot of funny looks...).
Cartier-Bresson once described the ambiance at the Arles photography festival as being like a safari in a zoo. I think that wonderful expression also applies to these situations where your presence is accepted, and your perceived threat defanged. Then you can dream of putting on the cloak of invisibility, the impossible goal of any self-respecting voyeuristic photographer.
So I do a lot of my slaughtering in zoos; it's a lot less dangerous, and the meat's just as tasty. But I do try to sneak around and hunt in the street (and elsewhere), too. There's more sport in the chase, and what you find can be more unusual.
I'm just back from Davos, a zoo par excellence (in the sense that I speak about above; I hope my friends at the World Economic Forum won't be offended). I'm buried under the thousands of pictures that I took, and hope to come up for air this weekend. I'll try to post something then. In the meanwhile, here's a picture from this year's annual meeting, another from a wedding, and a third from the street.

Absolutely Wonderful
This fragrance is wonderful. When I opened the bottle I knew just how it would make me feel, and I was right. It filled my home with the smell of a beautiful fall day wrapped up in my favorite toasty sweater walking on the edge of the forest. The smell of blue spruce, with a hint of spice was rich and inviting. I highly recommend this fragrance to those of us who love the fall season, you won't be disappointed.
