Missouri Researcher Tracks Paddlefish to Learn About Their Wandering Habits
By Brent Frazee, The Kansas City Star, Mo.
Jul. 20–O SAGE BEACH, Mo. — Long after Missouri's spring paddlefish-snagging season ended, Josh Lallaman is still chasing the giant creatures.
Five days a week, he launches his boat on the Osage River and follows fish that he implanted with radio transmitters back in March.
His goal? To unravel some of the mysteries surrounding one of Missouri's biggest fish.
"We knew before we even started this project that paddlefish are capable of traveling great distances," said Lallaman, a graduate student in the University of Missouri's fisheries and wildlife department. "And we've certainly seen that in our tracking study.
"They're capable of traveling 35 to 40 miles a day, especially when they're making their spawning run. That can make them hard to find at times."
But like a good private eye, Lallaman has managed to keep up with most of the paddlefish he is tailing.
He uses sophisticated radio telemetry equipment to track the signals given off by the transmitters that he surgically implanted in 35 fish.
That's what he was doing on a warm spring day. As Lallaman guided his boat into a stretch of water below Bagnell Dam, the signal on his radio telemetry receiver suddenly grew louder.
One of the paddlefish he was following had to be close.
"Each one of the paddlefish that we implanted with transmitters has a different signal," Lallaman said. "That's 101, a male that weighs about 30 pounds.
"He's about 80 miles from the spot where we tagged him. He's just been steadily working his way upstream."
Once, such upstream migrations were common on the Osage River.
Before dams were built, large numbers of paddlefish would make long migrations up the river and spawn on gravel bars. Now, that path is interrupted, and there appears to be little natural reproduction.
The Missouri Department of Conservation has compensated for those losses by stocking thousands of paddlefish in the Lake of the Ozarks, Truman and Table Rock reservoirs.
Lallaman's study, which is being conducted in conjunction with the Department of Conservation, is designed to determine whether there is any natural reproduction and also to learn more about the paddlefish's movement patterns, its habitat and its needs.
"We do know that they are finicky spawners," Lallaman said. "Traditionally, they always spawned after a big rise. Now that we have the dams, we don't see that as often."
But the paddlefish still go through the motions, making a false spawning run. Triggered by rising water temperatures, they work their way upstream in rivers such as the Osage each spring.
That's when snaggers enjoy success, catching fish as big as 100 pounds. That's also when Lallaman is busy keeping track of the fish he implanted with radio transmitters.
One of his first findings? That the paddlefish can be elusive during the snagging season.
"When we first tagged the paddle-fish this spring, they weren't that active. The water was still cold," Lallaman said. "On opening day of the snagging season, there were 15 to 20 boats working the stretch of water holding some of the fish we were following.
"We had boats pass right over some of the fish that we had tagged, but no one caught one."
By the end of the snagging season April 30, only four of the 35 fish Lallaman was following had been caught. Since then, the survivors have shown a variety of habits.
Remember 101? Well, that little guy is a traveling man.
After navigating the 82 miles from the mouth of the Osage to Bagnell Dam, he has since swum all the way back down the river, into the Missouri and has kept right on going until he was out of Lallaman's signal field.
"My guess is that he could be pretty far downstream in the Missouri by now," Lallaman said.
If he is, he wouldn't be the first paddlefish to travel great distances. One of the paddlefish that Lallaman tracked last year was found 280 miles away in the Mississippi River. That meant it had to travel through three river systems.
But not all paddlefish show that same wanderlust. Nine of the paddle-fish Lallaman is tracking have stayed in the water below Bagnell Dam.

Earthbound Farm co-founder Myra Goodman always says that people are surprised that her kids have always loved vegetables, and some even wonder if perhaps they carry a rare gene because they grew up as the children of organic farmers.
"Not so!" she says. "I think the key to having kids enjoy vegetables is to feed them vegetables often, and make it obvious how much YOU enjoy eating them. My kids also grew up gardening, and nothing tastes better than vegetables you grew yourself. Even one cherry tomato plant in a pot on your deck can get kids interested in eating more produce. My kids are teenagers now, and they say they love EVERYTHING about vegetables: the shapes, taste, color, crunch and how healthy they feel when they eat them.
"I've found that almost every child will eat their veggies if they're presented in a fun and interesting way. Kids love to dip things, and a platter of assorted vegetables served with a tasty dip can keep them happily munching for a long time, eating tons of vitamins, minerals and healthy fiber."
Try assembling a large assortment of veggies of different colors cut into different shapes that childen can arrange on a platter any way they want. Cut carrots and cucumbers into sticks, circles and half moons; slice peppers of different colors into strips and squares; buy different types of cherry and grape tomatoes — anything that looks good at the farmer's market or in your supermarket.
Serve the platter with a bowl of this easy-to-make dip with even more veggies in it, as well as the many health benefits of yogurt: calcium, protein and probiotics. Kids can help measure all these ingredients and press the button that makes the food processor whirl.

Ja, je hebt gelijk Els, het wordt tijd voor wat lente op mijn pagina, ben de laatste tijd meer bezig met vogels en zo.
Het ziet er inderdaad zo uit Arina, maar de werkelijkheid is dat ik dit in een flits zag gebeuren, twee keer geklikt heb, en één ervan was goed. Instellen had ik geen tijd voor, dus dat was vooral geluk.
Wolfpage you enjoy the place when is like this away from the hustle and bustle. glad you like it as well.

I recently obtained a Rokinon 12mm f/2.0 for Sony E-Mount, and I know this lens is going to require me to do a little learning to use well.
So after doing some reading, I put "ultrawide -fisheye site:www.panoramio.com" into a google image search. I pick out ten examples that seem to stand out, and end up at a photo by my friend Kevin Childress. I didn't realize it was yours until after I opened it. Well done, Kevin. I think the HDR is more cooked than I would have done, but it doesn't ruin the image.
I'm guessing that you were well under a foot from the pedistal. Do you remember?

I attended the Outdoor Show this last weekend in near Chicago. Temple Fork had a rep there with pretty much their entire line of rods available for people to see and ask about. I have been toying with the idea of getting a switch rod, but have had questions about which weight rod to get. I told the rep the following:
-I fish the SE Wisconsin tribs in the fall and spring.
-I would like a rod which can handle steelhead and browns. I do not plan on using this for the kings. It is possible to run into a Coho or two.
-I'd like the rod to allow me to control the fish, yet not be too overpowering. I prefer to use lighter tippet. Most fish would range in the 6 to 10 pound category, with the occasional 12-14+ fish.
-I would also like to use this rod to fish for smallmouth during the summer.
-I plan on swinging flies and indicator fishing. I do not plan on doing any overhead casting.
His recommendation was the 5 wt. Deer Creek Switch Rod. Another person at the booth said he had been to Alaska and caught silvers on this weight rod and not felt like he was out-gunned.
Am I asking too much out of one rod? Is the 5wt. reasonable or would I be wise stepping up to at least the 6wt? I am not familiar with how a switch rod compares to a single handed rod. The other person at the booth said that a switch rod would be similar to a single hand rod two weights heavier. Is this true?
Any recommendations for lines? Most of the rivers I fish do not have the deep runs you have in other places. Most of the deeper runs and holes I'd fish would be no more than 2-5 feet deep (and that is in much slower moving water) so I do not anticipate needing some of the heavier sink tips, if any.
Any and all comments, suggestions, experience with these is appreciated.

if you're not going to be using heavy sink tips and 5" streamers you could probably go with a 6wt. 5wt seems small.
i'm trying to make sense of switch rods too. i'm interest to hear what others have to say.
by FK » Tue Feb 08, 2011 1:05 pm
I will second the recommendation for the 6wt Deer Creek Switch.
The line selection is by grain weight not the AFTMA single handed line weights we have been accustomed to using.
The 6wt DC switch rod is rated for 300-500 grains, this is for Spey casting not overhead.
The Temple Fork line recommendations are on this site:
http://www.templeforkflyrods.com/suppor ... -recs.html
DC 5/6 wt
by SSG Steelhead » Wed Feb 09, 2011 9:55 am
I have fished this rod and I am not sure what sort of casting style you use but I started a 350gr 27' skagit head with t-8 tips in the 7' range. I felt the head was a little long and and a little heavy. I backed down to the 300gn and 20' range and it is money!
For the size fish you are chasing you will be fine with it but if you wanted to could go bigger though you may find it a bit too big for what you are doing most of the time. You need to size the rod for what you will do 90% of the time not the 10% or you will not be happy.
If you wanted to run without tips I have heard (I have fished the line just not on this rod) that the Airflo 40 rocks on this rod.
When looking at the grain rating you need to know what sort of casting you will be doing if it a scandi style or underhand you will be on the lighter side and if you are going with a skagit or slowed down sustained anchor cast you will go to the heavier side.
In the end for the money DC rods are sweet. I would call a shop such as Redshed and "test drive" the 5wt and 6wt to see which searves you best. For me I would go to the 5wt.
Best of luck.
by kweetech » Wed Feb 09, 2011 8:12 pm
I had the DC 7wt switch for awhile...nice for chucking larger streamers/intruders etc. As a crossover rod..you could probably do ok with a 5 or 6 wt, but you may find yourself in situations where you feel undergunned..whether it be on a fish, or throwing big junk.
Personally..I use split the difference and cover most everything with two rods..5 and 7wt switches
by JohnnyMac » Thu Feb 10, 2011 11:59 am
Thanks for the comments thus far. They have been very informative. I am now looking into making a switch rod instead of buying one. TFO now has the Deer Creek blanks available for building. I may do this or possibly the Rainshadow 10'-8" 7 wt. switch.
by SSG Steelhead » Thu Feb 10, 2011 2:29 pm
I have built a few of the Batson switch rods and like them a lot. I have a 7wt for myself and rock a 20.2' 370gn (if I remember correct) skagit head on it. I can toss a dead chicken and 7' of T-10 with no issue.
TFO Rods
by Salar4me » Fri Feb 11, 2011 3:13 pm
I have a 6wt 12.5' TFO in the older spey (professional?) series - Love the rod although I was also looking for something a bit lighter that would make a 12" smallmouth a worthy opponent... I broke many steelhead off with it when I had to resort to lighter lines to get takes...
Recently purchased the 4/5wt. 12.5' Deer Creek - I'm pretty sure it will be great for smallmouth - I've used it for steel with light tippet - Simply tough to snap tippet but at the same time tough to put the breaks on hot fish/>5 or 6 lbs... Yup - in the documentation says it is built for half pounders out west...
both rods well made...
I would love something in the middle!
by dlgawlak » Wed Feb 16, 2011 2:40 pm
While I have landed steelhead on the TFO 4 wt switch (usually in small tight technical type rivers), I much prefer battling them on a 6-7 weight rod. If you are chucking heavy junk and long t14-t17 then minimum of a 7 wt.
by Long Shank » Wed Feb 16, 2011 8:26 pm
For GLs steelhead I would go no less than a 6wt tp be able to pressure the fish and end the encounter as quick as possible to ensure the fish is not exhausted threatening its ability to recover after the release, also for providing the ability to throw sink tips which is what I am doing most of the time for GLs steelhead.
Deercreeks are nice rods, I am looking at the 5 wgt switch now but not for steelhead, for smallies.
Good luck
by JohnnyMac » Sun Feb 20, 2011 9:52 am
Thanks for all the helpful information. I ordered the Rainshadow switch rod in a 7 wt. These have been well reviewed and should fit my needs. If time and money allow, I will pick up a 4 wt. Deer Creek for smallies. Again, thanks for all the help. This site has always given me helpful insight when I need it.
by fishes-with-fly » Wed Feb 23, 2011 10:42 am
The TFO Deer Creek Spey 5 wt. is a 5/6 wt. You're covered.
I know, I own one along with an 8/9.

Valve writers Chet Faliszek and Erik Wolpaw are two of the men who made Portal 2 very funny. They were at GDC today to talk about making Portal 2, or in their words, the process of "Creating a Sequel to a Game That Doesn't Need One." They had some evidence to back up the title of their talk, listing a series of quotes from the video game press that said, quite clearly, that the original Portal did not need a sequel and that any attempt to create one would be a fool's errand.
Fortunately, the naysaying gaming press was wrong. Portal 2 was a wonderful game, but one that was clearly tough to get right, based on the long list of things Valve built and then cut from the game.
To show that, Faliszek and Wolpaw showcased plenty of examples of what just didn't work during the design of Portal 2.

With Street Fighter X Tekken hitting the markets yesterday, Capcom has come up with a pretty cool, fairly eerie commercial featuring two the series' best known characters… in real life.

More than monkey business
Disneynature's 'Monkey Kingdom' is its strongest yet
"Did you know monkeys could swim?" asks Tina Fey in Monkey Kingdom. While she's asking, a toque macaque (a two foot-long monkey with red-white fur and great hair) breast-strokes under the surface of a pond, yanking out lily pad flowers by her teeth and dragging them ashore to munch later.
Turns out monkeys can swim. And slide down telephone poles. And do the thing from Flashdance where you bring down a cascade of water on your head and shake it off in slow-motion.

Utah Joins Pact to Reduce Gas Emissions
SALT LAKE CITY – Utah joined five other states and British Columbia on Monday in a pledge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, although details on how they will do it are incomplete.
Gov. Jon Huntsman signed the Western Regional Climate Action Initiative and joined other governors in criticizing the federal government for failing to reduce emissions that contribute to global warming.
"We're leading the charge. We're not waiting for Washington anymore. I suspect that Congress and Washington will pay attention at some point," Huntsman said.
The compact sets goals for reducing emissions, participating in a multistate greenhouse-gas registry and providing market-based incentives for companies that comply.
The group – Utah, California, Arizona, Washington, Oregon and New Mexico – is expected to set benchmarks to reduce emissions by August. By August 2008, it wants to develop a system where companies in the region could trade emission credits.
Companies that can't meet their emission-reduction targets could buy credits from those that reduce carbon dioxide.
A market pact is close to becoming reality among a number of Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic states, which plan to impose caps on power-plant emissions and encourage trading of allowances among utilities.
More than two dozen states have plans to combat warming in various forms, and many governors have agreed to seek renewable sources of energy.
The idea of a Western pact started with California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who attended the signing ceremony Monday with Huntsman.
"The more states we bring in, the more we don't make it a political issue," Schwarzenegger said. "We don't have such a thing as Democratic air of Democratic water, or Republican air or Republican water.
"It is the people's air and the people's water," he said.
Huntsman joins Schwarzenegger as the second Republican governor to sign the compact. But it's unclear how much support there is in Utah's pro-business, Republican-controlled Legislature.
Lawmakers gather each January for 45 days, making 2009 the most likely year for legislation tied to the pact.
Carbon dioxide from coal, oil and other fossil fuels is the biggest of the greenhouse gases, so called because they create a heat-trapping blanket when released into the atmosphere.
Others are methane, nitrous oxide and synthetic gases. Scientists say the atmosphere holds more carbon dioxide now than it has for hundreds of thousands of years.
Most of Utah's electricity comes from burning coal. Schwarzenegger said the key is to find technology to make it burn cleaner.
"We can have a healthy environment and also a healthy economy," he said.
Western governors say global warming leads to more wildfires, greater droughts and less snow in ski-dependent tourist areas such as Park City.
"We in the West, the nation's most dynamic region, will suffer the most," Huntsman said. "Whatever we do today is certain to be our legacy for future generations."

Ego's purpose
Guest post by the Rev. Paul A. Johnson
We sometimes claim that we have difficulty working with someone because they have a big ego. What we mean by that is often unclear.
We seldom notice when our ego gets in the way of our conversations and relationships.
It is difficult to define what "ego" is; however, we can more easily speak about the purpose of our ego.
The purpose of our ego is to
• Be right and make others wrong.
• Win and not lose.
• Invalidate others and avoid being invalidated.
• Avoid intimacy.
When another person is displaying what we consider a big ego, we can choose to engage our own ego. That produces confrontation, conflict and fighting.
We can choose to avoid the person. That may invite resentment and often means that differences remain unresolved.
We can carefully monitor our own ego
and shift the context and conversation. We can decline the implicit invitation to fight. That will not be easy because, for many of us, engaging our ego has become a long-standing habit. But think about how our life and our community would be different if we made civility our habit instead.
Paul Johnson is the interim pastor at Ames United Church of Christ-Congregational.

HOUSTON A Houston woman is accused of snatching purses from at least 17 women, but police said Tamia Moss took something priceless from her most recent victim.
The 84-year-old victim said she believes Moss was stalking her in the parking lot of the Food Town on Airline in North Houston. Dorothy Wind said she saw Moss parked outside when she was walking into the grocery store.
Wind didn t think much of it when she came back to her truck. She put her purse on the front passenger seat and her groceries in the back seat.
Moments later, she said she saw a woman approaching on the other side of her truck. Wind said it felt like slow motion as the woman s hand reached into her passenger side door.
So I start screaming, help, help, help, she stole my purse, explained Wind. I wanted my purse back. I ve worked hard all my life. When someone steals something from me, I m very upset.
Wind said she was well aware that the criminal was much younger and stronger. Still, she wanted to fight back.
My thought was to run in front of her vehicle. She was parked next to me motor running, Wind recalled.
The car drove away before Wind could do anything. Moss is suspected of taking off with Wind s credit cards, about $200 in cash and a keepsake that can t be replaced: her late husband s wedding ring.
It s something that, unless it s found, I can t get it back, said Wind.
Wind said she kept the ring in her purse so she could look at it often to remember her husband of nearly 64 years. He died earlier this year.
I sure would like to know where the ring went, and I would like to get it back, said Wind.
According to investigators, Moss was spotted on surveillance cameras later that day using Wind s credit cards at several stores and an ATM machine.
Police said Moss is no stranger to committing crimes. She has a rap sheet that includes prior convictions on charges of credit-card abuse, forgery and assault of a public servant.
Moss remained at large Monday. Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to contact Houston Police.

19 December 2008 00:00 [Source: ICIS news]
HOUSTON (ICIS news)--US aliphatic solvent prices could drop a bit further even though crude oil prices have become less volatile, buyers said on Thursday.
However, sellers said as the crude oil descent slows down, it could mean aliphatics have neared the support level.
Most aliphatics were priced at 36.5-47.0 cents/b ($805-1,036/tonne, €564-725/tonne), according to global chemical market intelligence service ICIS pricing.
Aliphatics were priced in the low to mid 70s cents/lb during the summer months, when crude oil prices reached record highs.
After falling precipitously over the last several months, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil values have seemingly stabilised near the low to mid $40s/bbl mark. That might indicate that oil has reached or neared the support level.
"When you look at the crude market, it seems that it's found the bottom of the market and has shown signs of rebounding slightly," a producer said.
However, while buyers agreed that the drop in crude oil prices appears to have slowed, they said there was still room on the downside for aliphatic solvents.
Buyers cited the proportionally greater drop in the crude oil market, and the lack of demand amid the tepid economy as reasons for expecting additional softening in aliphatics prices.
The long decline in US house sales and new-housing starts could continue for some time due to a worsening of the general economy.
New house permits dropped to a record low annual rate of 616,000 in November, according to the US Department of Commerce. That was the lowest level since the department began tracking permits in January 1960.
Aliphatic solvents are used in paint formulation, as well as in pesticides, printing inks and in industrial applications.
US aliphatic solvent producers include Calumet, ConocoPhillips, Citgo, Shell and ExxonMobil.

The St. Joseph Music Foundation had a speaker stolen from the store Thursday afternoon.
The store owner has been going over surveillance video and says it looks like a couple of people walked into the store and walked out with the 15 inch speaker.
It was worth around $200, but merchandise surrounding the speaker was worth thousands. The owner was in the back room when it happened and says his trust has been violated.
"That right there was probably the worst part of it. It wasn't the value of the speaker. It was the fact that they chose to disrespect us. And they don't have much knowledge of music which is a big thing to us," Larry Schildtknecht said.
Schildtknect says he just wants the speaker back. If returned, he won't press charges.
Anyone with information can call the store at (816) 676-1112.

5StarControl Analyzes Whether Mobility is the Future of Yelp
Local business review site 5StarControl shines a light on how Yelp growth will be fueled by mobile innovations.
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) August 26, 2012
5StarControl has decided to issue an announcement about why Levchen sounds off on Yelp Mobile and social media. Reputation management site 5StarControl stated that local businesses are going to blossom if they understand how mobile applications (apps) will become a driving force behind further Yelp success.
In a USA Today Money interview, Yelp Chairman Max Levchen answers questions on what is driving Yelp´s success as a social media IPO, how the demand for mobile is driving industries like Yelp´s consumer review site, and why other social media networks aren´t doing as well. As a co-founder of Facebook, Levchen´s perspectives and perceptions offer a knowledgeable view of the future of local internet marketing through the use of mobile apps.
One question posed was what has contributed to Yelp´s success as a social media IPO. Levchen attributes Yelp´s success to its non-traditional marketing approach that focuses on "going local and conquering market by market, locale by locale." While he admits that this method has taken time to get where it is today, its culture of community and unity is beginning to pay big dividends in consumer participation and strong business-locating content. 5StarControl includes Yelp´s services as part of the local business marketing strategies it recommends to its clients, which has provided even better results when combined with internet marketing Guru Frank Kern´s materials. Yelp´s success as a social media IPO, Levchen asserts, can also be found in the recent mobilization of its services based on increasing pressure for local, on-demand content from consumers.
This demand for mobile that is currently driving industries like Yelp is, Levchen reports, "one of the biggest, most important trends that has been going on globally for a while." Consumers are demanding instant gratification and getting it through the use of mobile devices. Levchen asserts that this, coupled with the need for finding local business markets is why the use of mobile apps like Yelp Mobile are in high demand. 5StarControl states that consumer demand for mobile, localized content presents a golden opportunity for small business markets that include mobile SEO services in their local internet marketing strategies.
Another important question put to Levchen is why other social media networks aren´t doing as well in the switch to mobile marketing opportunities that Yelp exemplifies. He says Facebook´s biggest trial will be in shifting their "big screen" product to the smaller smartphone and tablet screens. If Facebook can transition to mobile, Levchen believes they will persevere, but that the "jury´s still out." Of Yahoo, he states that they made a big mistake in switching their marketing paradigm from a product-centered focus to meeting investor expectations when they went public.
Overall, the future of Internet marketing for local businesses, as demonstrated in Levchen´s interview, is linked hand in fist with working solid mobile seo strategies into small business marketing plans, states 5StarControl. Levchen´s insistence on providing consumers with local mobile content has the ability to pay big dividends for local business owners who climb on his mobile bandwagon, reports 5StarControl.
5StarControl is a website on local business concepts about online review sites.

Zags blown out 84-61 by Arizona
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Gonzaga coach Mark Few described his team's loss to Wichita State in last year's NCAA tournament as "running into a buzzsaw."
He tried to use the phrase again after the Zags were blown out by Arizona, and then rethought it.
"I guess I need to come up with a better term because the Arizona team we saw tonight was as good of a team as we have faced, that I can remember," Few said after Arizona rolled over Gonzaga 84-61 on Sunday night.
Coming off a shaky NCAA tournament opener, Arizona (32-4) ended a wild first weekend of upsets and buzzer beaters with a display of domination, looking every bit the No. 1 seed in the West.
This was not the epic double-overtime game these teams played in the 2003 NCAA tournament. This was an eye-popping display of what one of the nation's best teams can do when it gets rolling.
The Wildcats overran Gonzaga (29-7) with their size, athleticism and quick hands to blow the eighth-seeded Bulldogs out of the bracket.
Turning one of college basketball's most efficient teams on its head, Arizona scored 31 points of Gonzaga's 21 turnovers — 15 on steals — and never gave the Zags a chance after racing out to a 21-point lead in the first half.
Aaron Gordon had 18 points, six rebounds and six assists for Arizona. Fellow freshman Rondae Hollis-Jefferson also had 18 points and Nick Johnson finished with 17.
Next up for Arizona is fourth-seeded San Diego State — a team it beat in this same arena early in the season — in the Sweet 16 just up the coast in Anaheim.
"Tonight was one of our season's best performances," Arizona coach Sean Miller said. "Obviously, you want to play well in the NCAA tournament and that's exactly what our team did tonight."
Gonzaga has relied on its ability to control the game and take care of the ball during a run of 16 straight NCAA tournament appearances.
Arizona's pressure ran the Zags ragged, leaving them trailing the Wildcats as they raced off to one layup after another.
Przemek Karnowski scored 14 points and Kevin Pangos added 12 for Gonzaga, which hasn't reached the Sweet 16 since 2009.
"We didn't do ourselves any favors," said Pangos, who kept playing after turning his ankle early in the game. "We let them feel pretty good about themselves. But they are a good team and they did speed it up a little bit."
Arizona was jittery in its opener against Weber State, starting slow and allowing the Wildcats from Utah to claw their way back from a 21-point deficit in the second half to make it close.
The first-game anxiety out of their system, the Wildcats played with confidence and plenty of energy against Gonzaga, sprinting up the floor after steals and defensive rebounds to set up easy shots in transition.
Gonzaga shot well against one of the nation's best defenses — when it could get shots off.

Keep flys away
posted 6 years ago
fly spray is a great thing. it keeps flys away from your horses and prevents them from the irritating flys. just be careful when first applying to your horse, as they might not like the spraying sound or sensation
Pros: keeps flys away, easy to apply
Cons: can scare your horses

To follow up on this post on my Pazz & Jop ballot from yesterday… I didn't really listen closely to Oneohtrix Point Never's latest album, Replica, until after I'd finalized my ballot, so my fave cut from it, "Explain," failed to make my top-10 tracks list. A tragic turn of events, for sure. But I'm going to partially compensate for that gross mishap by posting about "Explain" here.
The last track on Replica (a strong album all the way through, by the way), "Explain" is like a prolonged, rapturous sigh of relief after a long, arduous journey. It strikes me as what would've transpired if My Bloody Valentine, still wondering what the hell to do after releasing the paradigm-shifting Loveless in November 1991, had collaborated with Seefeel, MBV's closest competitors for the shoegaze throne, in 1993, when Seefeel dropped their aqua-solar-dub debut EP, More Like Space. The word "heavenly" gets tossed around too casually by music reviewers (I may have done it cavalierly myself in my younger, less disciplined days), but in this case it's totally justified. "Explain" proffers a gilded, lavender-scented ladder to a much lovelier, loftier realm

The minor miracle of Ocean's Twelvea paid vacation for a bunch of people who don't need oneis that you never begrudge the film its brazen fabulosity, not least because it's so inclusive in its revelry: The movie noisily conveys the messy joy of its making, and insists that you have a good time as well. Despite the prevailing haphazardness, there's a wry, effortless confidence at workthe hallmark not just of Soderbergh's populist films but also of George Clooney and Brad Pitt's charm assaults, intermingling here to scarily potent effect. Funnier and sprightlier than Eleven, which exhibited a genial self-consciousness but never thought to challenge the genre textbook, Twelve is committed to not taking itself seriously.
In a scene that amusingly summarizes the film's blind-chance methodology, Catherine Zeta-Jones's Interpol investigator, on the trail of Danny Ocean and company, figures out the intended target when she happens to see a poster of a Fabergé egg through her cab window. Ocean's Twelve makes the most of whatever's handyin some cases literally. Producer Jerry Weintraub had a heist script kicking around, hooked Soderbergh up with writer George Nolfi, and Nolfi's scenario about competing jewel thieves was tailored to become Ocean's Twelve. The plot has what you might call an improvised quality: Three years after the Bellagio job, Andy Garcia's fleeced casino owner tracks down Clooney's Ocean and sets a deadline for the returned stash. Hoping for an easy score or two, the reunited gangincluding Pitt's suave deputy and Don Cheadle's cockney explosives prohead to Amsterdam and Rome, learning along the way that they were ratted out by a French master criminal (Vincent Cassel), who challenges Ocean to a "greatest thief in the world" contest.
The glamour factor is swooningly high (Pitt in nipple-hugging gigolo shirts, Zeta-Jones in killer trench-coat-and-stiletto ensembles), and no one is overextended, given the reasonably democratic makeup of the large cast and the parade of juicy cameos: Topher Grace (excellent as always), Cherry Jones, Eddie Izzard, and many more. An expert handler of actors, Soderbergh is also well versed in the construction of stardom. Twelve builds on Eleven's awareness of acting as confidence game. As in Full Frontal, albeit to more pungent effect, Soderbergh topples the fourth wall to toy with the notion, likewise advanced in Notting Hill, that a star of Julia Roberts's stature is always, on some level, playing herself. (Without giving too much away, Roberts gamely responds to the brief spasm of reflexiveness, with help from her Player co-conspirator Bruce Willis.)
Soderbergh gets his Richard Lester freak on a good deal more than in Eleven. Almost as temporally agile as his prismatic thriller The Limey, Ocean's Twelve is pleasingly fickle, changing tack too often for its clever ideas to sour, or for its lame ones to matter. Glutted with revisionist flashbacks, the film takes shape as a series of hunches and short cuts; whenever it finds itself in a corner, it blithely cheats its way out. In the ultimate mission impossible, Cassel performs a breakdance ballet through crisscrossing security lasers. The sublime absurdity of the sequence is one-upped by Soderbergh and Clooney's deadpan deflation of the grand-thief competition, which is in turn topped by the hilariously low-tech execution of the big job aboard a moving train. Watching other people's vacation home movies is rarely this fun. Quick, cheap thrills spiked with a jazzy, retro new wave vibe, Ocean's Twelve suggests a double issue of Us Weekly guest-edited by the old Cahiers du Cinéma crew.

Re: " All Is Lost" movie
I saw the movie about a week ago and very much enjoyed it. I agree with the others that describe it as a great story that happens to be set on a sailboat out on the ocean. If you are going to see it solely for accuracy of the sailing piece, you'll likely be disappointed. That said it was pretty accurate in most of what it conveyed. For me, I really liked the story and the acting (who knows but Redford could win his first acting Oscar for this one). The fact that most of the story occurred on a sailboat and showed a single handed sailor doing many of the mundane things we all do aboard (and later in the movie not so mundane emergency procedures) I thought was incredibly unique for a feature film.
They also serve beer/wine at my local theater whats not to like about the whole experience?

30:Group urges spaying catsFebruary 02,2013
MIDDLESEX — Vermont Companion Animal Neutering is urging cat owners to "beat the heat" by spaying their female cats in advance of their heat cycles to prevent unwanted litters from being born this Spring.
According to a statement released by the nonprofit organization, animal shelters commonly refer to springtime as "kitten season" because that's when they receive the largest influx of unwanted litters.
During the entire month of February, the organization will spay female cats — or neuter male cats — for a special rate of $20 for all Vermont cat owners. Cat owners who wish to take advantage of this offer must mention the "Beat the Heat" promotion when they schedule their appointment at the organization's clinic in Middlesex.
For more information and to schedule an appointment, call 223-0034, email email@example.com, or go online to www.vt-can.org.MORE IN This Just InStephen Goldberg is back with a vengeance.

U-T 32: Chargers chilling
1 (1) –Giants (5-2). Seeing firsthand how good Robert Griffin III already is, they're feeling very carpe diem. That's Latin for seize the NFC East.
Last week: beat Redskins.
This week: at Cowboys.
2 (2)—Falcons (6-0). After their win in Week 3, they told U-T San Diego that Ryan Mathews broke too many tackles (8). Now, post-bye, they say tackling better is their No. 1 goal.
Last week: bye.
This week: at Eagles.
3 (3) – 49ers (5-2). Alex Smith, assuming your finger heals, please throw to Vernon Davis. The tight end's 58-game pass-catch streak ended last week.
Last week: beat Seahawks.
This week: at Cardinals.
4 (4) – Patriots (4-3). Their next game is across the pond, as the Brits say. We wonder if walk-on-water Tom will walk or fly.
Last week: beat Jets.
This week: Rams (at London).
5 (5) – Texans (6-1). Squint at the remaining schedule, and the numbers 13 and 3 appear.
Last week: beat Ravens.
This week: bye.
6 (7) – Bears (5-1). There'd be no people in Yosemite if bears there were as ornery as Da Bears' defense.
Last week: beat Lions
This week: Panthers.
7 (8) – Packers (4-3). That's two broken collarbones for Charles Woodson in 22 months. Team Provolone's D is down four starters.
Last week: won at Rams.
This week: Jaguars.
8 (6) – Ravens (5-2). Away from Baltimore, Flacco and mates are Ordinary Joes: 1-2 record, and averages of 15 points/166 yards passing.
Last week: lost at Texans.
This week: bye.
9 (9) – Broncos (3-3). Last time out, they outscored the Bolts 35-0 over the final 20 minutes. Watching film of it, Peyton handed out chill pills to giddy teammates.
Last week: bye.
This week: Saints.
10 (13) – Steelers (3-3). Who were the men wearing black and gold on Sunday night? They actually looked like Steelers.
Last week: won at Bengals.
This week: Redskins.
11 (11) – Eagles (3-3). Coming out of a bye, they're 13-0 under Andy Reid. But their next foe is unbeaten and coming out of a bye, too.
Last week: bye.
This week: Falcons.
12 (10) – Seahawks (4-3). They are next-to-last in scoring, proof that the Mariners are contagious.
Last week: lost at 49ers.
This week: at Lions.
13 (12) – Redskins (3-4). RGIII, as entertaining as he is valuable, merits grade inflation here. TE Fred Davis' season-ending injury, however, cost Griffin a key pass-catcher.
Last week: lost at Giants.
This week: at Steelers.
14 (14) – Chargers (3-3). Chill pills. Sticky towels. Norv's mea culpas. The Bolts have never been so happy to board a plane for Cleveland.
Last week: bye.
This week: at Browns.
15 (15) – Vikings (5-2). Believing in charity toward all, their Christian has seven turnovers in the last three games.
Last week: beat Cardinals.
This week: Bucs.
16 (16) – Cowboys (3-3). Unlike many of The Star's players, LB Sean Lee is more substance than flash. His season-ending injury is a major bummer.
Last week: won at Panthers.

Pop, Soda Or Coke? It's A Vernacular Battle
Originally published on Thu May 31, 2012 10:58 pm
Well, now, Melissa, we've been calling it soda here, which may have some of you in other places yelling at us, it's not soda. It's pop. Or if you're from the South, you may call it Coke. You may use that to describe any carbonated beverage.
well, Robert, you know that I am from New York like you are, and it tastes like soda to me.
SIEGEL: Me, too, but this divides America like few other questions. Just ask Luanne von Schneidemesser, senior editor at the Dictionary of American Regional English at the University of Wisconsin.
LOUANNE VON SCHNEIDEMESSER: They call more about that question than any other.
BLOCK: Yeah, von Schneidemesser says the divide is often clearly regional. Soda in the Northeast, pop in the Upper Midwest. But there are exceptions. Eastern Wisconsin bucks the Great Lakes trend, Robert, and goes with soda.
SIEGEL: Way to go, Milwaukee.
BLOCK: Right. But the soft drink battle lines are never static. Von Schneidemesser says the term Coke appears to be migrating northward.
SIEGEL: Really? In New York, we won't hear about a soda ban, but a Coke ban?
SCHNEIDEMESSER: Oh, it will probably be a couple of decades, but you might.
BLOCK: Well, just make sure you buy it in a 16-ounce cup or smaller. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

As one of the first wave of federal Pay for Success (PFS) grantees, Third Sector Capital Partners prides itself on going the extra mile to support programs that help at-risk youth and young adults secure a living wage and the employment skills to gain self-sufficiency.
With a $1.9 million grant from the Social Innovation Fund (SIF) in 2014, the Boston-based advisory firm is strengthening the ability of local governments and service providers to implement PFS, a new way of focusing on outcomes. Under a PFS-financed project, the government leverages philanthropic and private dollars so that government pays only after service providers generate tangible results.
Through its federal award Third Sector is offering technical assistance to seven subrecipients across workforce development, education and social services, working with these agencies to develop their own capacity to implement PFS.
But in addition to technical assistance, Third Sector is taking innovative steps to promote success of these efforts. Unique among the 2014 SIF PFS grantees, Third Sector is requiring subrecipients to provide matching funds so that these agencies also have a stake in developing effective pay-for-performance models.
"It's important for these agencies to have skin in the game," said Tim Pennell, Third Sector associate director. The cash match may be small – a minimum of $25,000 – but it provides ample evidence of the organization's commitment to the PFS concept.

[A] masterly study of how germs infiltrated the American imagination...The strength of Tomes's book...lies in the subtle and convincing way in which it traces the transformations in everyday beliefs, experiences, and habits produced by medicine's migration from the laboratory to the lavatory. Skillfully researched and skillfully written, it charts the 'revolution in personal hygiene' that helped to create a safer environment even as it produced new prejudices about purity and danger.

Jets eliminated, then fall to Canadiens 4-2
Desharnais then scored on a 5-on-3 in the third to put the Canadians ahead for the first time.
Pacioretty scored later in the period for a little insurance.
The Jets looked like a good bet to make the postseason until a five-game slide. Even a 6-1-1 record in their last eight games failed to make up all the lost ground.
Their only chance was to win Thursday and have both New York and Ottawa lose all their remaining games.
Coach Claude Noel said he would talk about Winnipeg's season and future Friday and confined his brief comments to the game.
"I thought the game was OK. They spent too much time in our zone, which I didn't really like. ... I would have liked us to play with a little more zip in the first two periods," he said.
Note: Jets captain and scoring leader Andrew Ladd finished the season with the best points-per-game average by a Jets (Thrashers) player since Ilya Kovalchuk in 2008-09.

Technically, if you could get a shuttlecraft inside the shields of a ship, they could use the transporter inside the shuttle to beam aboard the enemy vessel. Alternatively, they could use the Type 4 phaser array the normal shuttlecraft are armed with to destroy the shuttlebay doors of the enemy ship and force their way into the shuttlebay. However, some ships just do not have shuttlebays, so that wouldn't always be an option.
That is, if a shuttlecraft could actually make it inside the shields of ship. Which they can't. Except in this game.
This has always been a question plaguing use of boarding parties via shuttlecraft. That's why Starfleet Battles/Starfleet Command boarding actions were always done via transporter raids. Boarding action in the midst of combat via shuttlecraft just isn't feasible. Erratic manuevers would prevent even skilled pilots from boarding, even if there wasn't the problem of getting the craft inside the shields.
If you could beam a boarding party aboard an enemy ship you could beam anything aboard - like say a 20 megaton thermonuclear warhead or a few containers of nerve agent - right? Conversely, you could beam anything off the enemy ship and rematerialize it anywhere within range, for example you could beam off the enemy bridge crew and rematerialize them in open space.
Too true.
All damaged ships still have gravity and ample atmoshpere throughout. Atmoshpere of the same type, at the same atmospheric pressure. All the player species home planets have roughly the same gravity. A species like the Gorns didn't grow up on a planet with twice earth gravity or something like that, which their ships might also have just to keep the owning species comfortable.
Eh... I'd love to see your explaination of boarding actions if the Tholians were in the game.
Boarding parties, being a common tactic in wartime, wouldn't result in certain defensive measures being designed into warships, particularly in sensitive areas like engineering, bridge, auxillary bridge, etc?
Another mechanic that lacks inside the game. It's assumed automatically that the boardee's ship will attempt to repel boarders. Back in Starfleet Battles days, players had to assign BPs to specific high-value targets, in case an enemy ship attempted a H&R against those areas. Incredibly shrewed players would, instead, send BPs to hit low-value targets, say Auxiliary Power Plants or Science Labs, and not waste a BP against a guarded target, while still damaging the ship in some capacity. However, with generalized game mechanics, and random effects, takes that aspect out of it.
A ship like a BoP with a small crew would send a boarding party (half the BoP crew) onto a full-sized cruiser with what expectations?
There really wouldn't be much expectation. Then again, BoPs usually have a crew complement of 12 officers and men. And in regards to this game's mechanics, they have no shuttlebay at all, so they really shouldn't even be able to send a boarding party.

Voice, or vox, as it is first introduced, the sacred instrument of interpreters, is a major theme of the novel, and the plot builds to Dominique's decision about whether or not to speak out about her knowledge. Hints of her psychological developmentflashbacks to childhood indicate an emotionally abusive motherdon't explain where her "voice" went in the first place. When her mother yells at her father, "You can never get it right," the child Dominique whispers to her younger sister, "She says it will all be all right soon." The scene is supposed to explain why Dominique becomes an interpreter, but what she in fact doesinsert her own wishful fantasy into the messageis the opposite of the adult Dominique's voicelessness. Ultimately, the novel is as emotionally mute as its protagonist: We're not privy to how her present dilemma brings her to voice, or if it genuinely does; instead, the first-person narration reflects on Tchaikovsky, Prevert, pain au chocolat, and some newly colorful accessorizing.
Nicholas, her crinkly-eyed Italian researcher, is similarly inert; together they are mopey, laconic café-dwellers, less mysterious than boring. Leaden dialogue and flights of pretension further weaken the novel. The interesting partsDominique, sick in a taxi, on her way to perform a stressful form of translation; Nicholas, reflecting on the timbre of Dominique's voiceare those intimate to the strange business of interpreting. I had hoped for more of these moments: revelations of subtle variations in meaning, ironic miscommunications between Dominique and Nicholas. But this novel isn't about language or communication. With its short, fade-out chapters and attention to set detail, The Interpreter garbles the translation.

Concerning Picard, I have been wondering to what extend the hunger might have still been influencing him. Perhaps that might account for his obsession since FC with destroying the Borg, and being in close proximity to 7000 cubes might explain why he was willing to abandon his principles and entertain the idea of the thalaron weapon. Maybe as the hunger drives the borg to assimilate it was having an impact on Picard to destroy.

Efficiency and reliability are key factors when choosing an air conditioning system. Our easy-to-install Free Joint Multi (FJM) unit delivers both. Its compact design means that it can be easily incorporated into a variety of professional and residential situations, with the flexibility to support up to 5 indoor units. Furthermore, its double layer sound insulation system minimises noise, making it more discreet despite its high-quality performance. In addition, the one button auto-addressing feature simplifies installation, which results in minimal disruption to the day-to-day activities of busy companies.
No matter how extreme the temperature, our FJM air conditioning unit will handle the situation. It is able to cool in heats of up to 50°C and provide warmth in -20°C, eliminating the need for any additional units to cope in times of adverse weather. Its smart inverter system delivers the required temperature quickly right from start up, and continuously performs fine-tune adjustments to ensure a constant and comfortable environment.
A key contributor to the FJM's efficiency is its BLDC (Twin Rotary) Compressor, which is featured on all outdoor models. Its twin eccentric cams and two balance weights result in extremely low levels of vibration, contributing to a much quieter all-round performance. Attention to the quality of moving parts such as robust bearings, as well as premium matching rollers and vanes produce a high degree of stability and durability.
All new FMJ outdoor models incorporate the TBR Sine-Wave Compressor in addition to the twin BLDC compressor. This serves to reduce torque variation by 70 per cent and vibration by 80 per cent compared to a regular single compressor. As a result, stress on the motor is kept to a minimum, and the lifespan of the air conditioning unit is extended. A further benefit is a significant reduction in noise, leading to a more comfortable and productive working environment.
