Product Data
|Sock Type:
|High Visibility:
A number of technical features make these high quality socks a very sound purchase. COOLMAX yarn manages moisture, transferring it to the outside so it can be evaporated. A soft lycra welt top cuff is smooth and comfortable against your ankle.
The 3D toe box and heal have a reinforced section to help prevent early wear. The arch support zone makes your foot feel secure and comfortably compressed.
If you like higher rise ankle socks – go for this model. If you prefer a slightly lower ankle sock – go for 8cm Light weight sock (new window)
About Cycling Socks
Your feet work really hard on a bike and are a major point of contact, so it's worth pampering them a bit. Cycling socks are designed to relieve the pressure points generated by pedalling and keep your skin dry by wicking moisture away. Blood flow is also important through your feet, so a cool, vented foot will allow this better than a hot clammy foot.

NEW Atomic
The Atomic has been designed for medium to strong winds in order to cope with fresh sea breezes extremely well. The Atomic is very well equipped and gives immediate fun at a very attractive price. With this kite, beginners and advanced pilots will be fully satisfied. Basic tricks can be easily learned with the Atomic at medium wind speeds. With a fresher wind, it is just fun to feel the pull which, however, can always be controlled. Collapsible leading edges allow an easy reduction of the kite – so the Atomic becomes the ideal travelling partner. At lower wind speeds, the Atomic flies very silently. At higher wind speeds, it gets a bit louder, but without becoming unpleasant.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 11/17/14
Despite his admiration for Albert Pujols, former St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa wouldn't have given the power-hitting first baseman a 10-year contract. La Russa told "ESPN First Take" on Wednesday that any agreement beyond six years comes with significant risk, and sided with his former employers, who let Pujols walk. "I don't think 10 years was a smart move for the Cardinals," La Russa said. "I think Albert is perfect -- I call him Albert P. Pujols for Albert Perfect Pujols -- but I don't think that I would ever endorse a contract beyond six years, tops." La Russa added that he wasn't second-guessing the Los Angeles Angels' decision to sign him to a $254-million deal because Pujols is "a great franchise player, so it makes sense for them." La Russa, who retired after leading the Cardinals to a World Series Championship in 2011, was responding to a question about whether free-agent-to-be Josh Hamilton deserved a similar contract. "If I'm an executive, whether it...

I'm saying this even though your mis-info is mostly inline with what I'm saying!
The fact that this segment travels
near a straight line
as you align with the ball
for contact,
is what I have been sharing all along.
I guess you keep leaving out the across part of the stroke at and after contact for
some reason?
and we still have no outward ball path, right?
and the Main thing is your pic is pretty clear how the hand,
the main MTM reference
, is working
across prior to contact to such an extent that we can tell that is likely true even without the
outward target line.
First of all give us definition of horizontal across aspect. Then explain in what frame exactly before impact Nadal starts producing across aspect. I asked you many times already and never got the answer. I just cannot talk about undefined term.
Im pro in interpolation and approximation. You even cannot imagine what I know about this stuff.

Italy warns of immigration emergency
Elizabeth Tan, a UNHCR official stationed on the Egyptian border, said confidence is growing among Libyans that the air strikes may halt the Libyan government forces' advance on the rebels' eastern strongholds. "Today is very quiet," she said in a telephone interview.
On Libya's western border with Tunisia, refugee numbers also are down.
A UNHCR official there, Firas Kayal, said between 1,000 and 1,500 people are now arriving daily in Tunisia from Libya. Most are foreign nationals, including citizens from other Arab countries, sub-Saharan Africa and Bangladesh, he said.
Wilkes warned that while the exodus from Libya may be slowing, the number of civilians displaced inside the country is a growing concern. Government forces have destroyed large numbers of homes, prompting people to seek shelter in schools and other public buildings that lack basic facilities such as mattresses and blankets, she said.
Frank Jordans contributed from Geneva.

Japan's women have world's longest life expectancy of 86.61 years; men's rises above 80
Published on Jul 31, 2014 8:01 PM
TOKYO (AFP) - Japanese men's life expectancy rose above 80 for the first time in 2013, but was still several years below that of their female counterparts, whose lifespan was the world's longest, figures released on Thursday showed.
A Japanese boy born in 2013 can now expect to live 80.21 years, up from 79.94 years in 2012, the Health Ministry said.
The average lifespan of Japanese women rose to 86.61 years in 2013, up from 86.41 the previous year, making them the world's longest-lived females for the second year running. In second place were women in Hong Kong, whose life expectancy hit 86.57 last year.
Japanese men ranked fourth on the longevity list of the world's 50 major countries and regions behind Hong Kong, Iceland and Switzerland, the Health Ministry said. Hong Kong's average male lifespan was 80.87.

Vintage vehicles participate in rally
CHENNAI: When it comes to style, the vintage vehicle sure steals the show.
At St. George's School here on Sunday, the `oohs' and `aahs' were more pronounced around cherry red Morris Minors and stately Plymouths. Spectators, proud owners and curious onlookers crowded around the cars and motorcycles from 50s and 60s. The Optras and Civics were also there, keeping up with the spirit of Vintage & Classic Vehicles Foundation of India's this year's theme `Evolution of Vehicles'.
Most of the Austins, Jaguars and Standards are still in good shape primarily because of their family heirloom status meeting the enthusiasm levels of the current crop of owners. Especially when the owners can show off the polish at rallies and gain brownie points for keeping up the good work. Sunday was no exception. The vintage car rally was flagged off from the school premises in the morning. The cars covered Poonamallee High Road, went past Central Railway Station and entered Anna Salai via the Muthuswamy Bridge.
A host of `super bikers', including actor Abbas, spiced up the show with their high-powered birds.
The cars came back and the owners were saluted for their classics.
The handful of motorcycles - from Matchless, Norton, BSA to AJS - had a different story. Most of them were procured from auctions conducted by the Avadi military establishment. "All of them were manufactured by U.K. companies that are no longer in existence. The military used them widely during the world war, particularly by despatch couriers and the likes," recounted bike enthusiast and Foundation member Joga Rao.
That brings us to the foldable cycle used by paratroopers. A detailed account of how they used the cycle accompanied the exhibit.
The love for all that's good and old prevailed through the day.

Don't complain about heavy plasma torps being one shots, they are avoidable and destructible.
Do complain about Dontra's torpedo spread hitting you, a normal hit you might survive if you are buffed up and full shields, the critical (which obviously don't happen because the patch notes say so) will kill anything with over 140k in damage.
Do complain about the Neg's isometric charge which can one shot an entire group, not to mention insta-kill the freighters in Blockade.
I'd also complain about gates super beam which can take one full shield facing and bring me to 20% hull in a single shot, then it follows up with something else a second later and you are dead, you can't react to that.

The 2006 Riesling was produced entirely from grapes grown in Monterey County, along California's cool Central Coast. An especially rich,
full-bodied rendition of the noble Riesling variety, it exudes fresh honeysuckle, ripe peach, citrus blossom and baking spice aromas with mouthfilling,
honeyed peach, ripe yellow apple and kiwi fruit flavors.
Pair this full-flavored Riesling with rich seafood and poultry dishes, baked ham,
pork chops, grilled sausages, smoked meats and spicy Pacific Rim cuisines. It's also delicious on its own and with fresh fruit and cheese.

Hi Mamas! Can anyone offer recommendations for a sliding scale therapist ITP in Atlanta? I'm looking for a woman who is well-versed in recovery issues, mild depression/anxiety/stress/relationship issues. Any help would be much appreciated. For individual therapy.
I don't know of anyone but I thought I'd post to bring your question up for attention in the forum. :)
Thank you Cynthia! That was thoughtful of you. I'm really hoping to get at least one recommendation!
I have two recommendations, both work on sliding scales:
Hope it helps!

Lepanto Ceramics seeks court-assisted rehab
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—Lepanto Ceramics Inc., the Laguna-based ceramic tile manufacturing unit of publicly listed Prime Orion Philippines Inc., is seeking court-assisted corporate rehabilitation in order to get some relief from its financial distress.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, LCI said it had filed the petition for rehabilitation with the Regional Trial Court of Calamba pursuant to the "Financial Rehabilitation and Insolvency Act (FRIA) of 2010," which makes court-supervised rehabilitation available for debtors who are able to get more than 50 percent but less than 67 percent creditor approval.
"With the rehabilitation program, LCI aims to achieve the following: (1) arrest the continuing losses for the past several years ;(2) ensure the continuing delivery of suppliers; (3) give LCI the chance to rebuild its business by utilizing its cash flow directly for operations and; (4) service the obligations with creditors," the disclosure said.
Based on LCI's latest annual filing at the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a capital deficiency amounting to P3.5 billion as of end-June 2011. It had total assets of P1.17 billion while total current liabilities amounted to P4.55 billion. Most of its liabilities are owed to related parties while there are real property taxes owed to the City of Calamba which the company has offered to settle by surrendering certain parcels of land.

Superstorm Sandy and fears of a budget crisis caused factory output to fall by 0.9% in October compared with the previous month, according to the Federal Reserve. Without the damaging storm, production would have remained flat, the Federal Reserve said. Experts say the drop is due in part to companies' cutting down on the purchasing of goods in the face of possible budget cuts and tax increases.

Pharma Stocks, Once Immune to Huge Fines, Now Vulnerable to Legal Penalties
Bribes, lies and fraud are nothing new at big pharmaceutical companies, and the cost of getting caught at such transgressions has rarely been so great that it's prevented long-term gains for investors. That may be changing, but not for the reasons you think.
Shares of most of the major drug makers are down this year in a market that's broadly recorded 7%-plus gains.
The declines follow – but are not necessarily related to – recent headlines that read more like mobsters' rap sheets than the activities of blue chip companies. Most have agreed to pay government fines for criminal practices, including: Merck (MRK), $950 million for pushing painkiller Vioxx for unapproved users and hiding its health risks; GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), $3 billion, in large part for paying doctors and manipulating research to sell more drugs; and Pfizer (PFE), $60 million for bribery. Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) recalled products ranging from contact lenses to artificial hips because of undisclosed dangers with using them. Other cases relate to defrauding Medicare. Less than half of 500 patient groups surveyed thought the industry had a good or excellent reputation.
And that was just in recent months. Companies paid billions in fines in past years too, sometimes individually. Until this year, big dividend payments paired with at least modest share price gains kept most shareholders pretty happy anyway. Watchdog groups and some academics worry that the companies make more money flouting the law and paying the fines than restricting their prohibited practices.

In the past, the sheer size of these companies has helped their share prices remain aloft even through grim news. A $3 billion fine, for example, is just a small portion of GlaxoSmithKline revenues in a year.

In the future, however, those fines may feel a lot bigger. As most Big Pharma investors know, revenue growth – the thing that usually feeds share price gains -- has slowed dramatically in recent months as brand drugs go off-patent and new blockbuster drugs remain allusive.

No one is going to jail for breaking the rules, and patient groups don't really have the power to affect pharmaceutical company profits. But if the drug pipeline doesn't come through with some very profitable new products in the near future, suddenly, what seemed like trifling amounts might suddenly seem quite a lot to pay for bad behavior.

"Paddling Protection Act" Raises Debate Over Wilderness Travel In Yellowstone National Park
Your proposed use of inflatable boats to pass "difficult" areas via the Colorado River is not an acceptable method of travel for backcountry permit holders.
That was the response Dick Griffith received from Grand Canyon National Park officials in 1991 when he sought a permit to use a small, inflatable, 5-pound "pack raft" to float the Colorado River 226 miles through the canyon. Though nearly 64 years old, Griffith ignored the refusal and pushed off from Lees Ferry, Arizona, one March afternoon that year. Though he had to interrupt his trip briefly due to illness, Griffith completed the run, gaining a reputation as an outlaw who had outwitted the park rangers.
Today, packrafting is an acceptable form of travel through the canyon, and it's also allowed in Denali National Park and Preserve, where the park website notes: "Travel by packraft can be both fun and rewarding. Denali's backcountry offers many possibilities for combining a day or overnight hike with packrafting." Which other units of the National Park System are open to packrafting is hard to determine without calling each and every one. Both Canyonlands National Park in Utah and Dinosaur National Monument in Utah/Colorado permit it; Glacier National Park's website is silent on the activity. Olympic, Sequoia, Mount Rainier, and Great Smoky national parks are silent as well. Yosemite National Park's website is silent on the activity, though rafts are permitted on the Merced River in the Yosemite Valley, and there are media reports that it is allowed outside the valley.
Similar acceptance has not been forthcoming from Grand Teton or Yellowstone national parks, though, where the National Park Service's refusal to expand paddling opportunities has been met by a legislative challenge from Wyoming's congressional delegation that opponents fear could open all park waters to paddlers, driftboats, canoeists, and possibly even tubers.
Yellowstone's landscape is world-renowned for its geysers and hot springs, and the surrounding scenic beauty and wilderness character are hard to match, and perhaps even unmatched outside of Alaska. Threading through the park's backcountry, and frontcountry, are creeks, streams, and rivers fueled by springs and snowmelt, some only several feet across, some dozens of feet wide. More than 300 form waterfalls at least 15 feet high, while others meander placidly through the Lamar and Hayden valleys, dotted with trumpeter swans and pelicans, home to cutthroat trout. Bison, elk, moose, wolves and bears are drawn to these streams, as are trumpeter swans, merganzers, and pelicans.
Grand Teton's landscape takes no backseat to Yellowstone, featuring much of the same ruggedness and beauty that greeted mountainmen well more than a century ago. The spring runoff swells not only the Snake River, but Pilgrim Creek, the Gros Ventre River, Pacific Creek, and other tributaries of the Snake River. Bison, moose, pronghorn, and other wildlife are drawn to their waters, from which osprey and bald eagles pull trout.
At the heart of the 20-million-acre Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, the two parks are surrounded by sprawling tracts of wilderness, official and unofficial, that along with the parks comprise the largest, virtually intact, ecosystem in the coterminous United States. It's a landscape rippling with mountain ranges that in turn are cut by rivers and streams that can serve as backcountry highways for paddlers. Self-reliance is key to wilderness travelers. Being on your own, exploring vast swaths of backcountry while relying on your own wits and abilities to travel, surrounded by some of the most amazing landscapes in the world, is the quintessential goal.
"What is very unique, and this is why I think some of us in the packrafting community have become so passionate about it, doing these multi-river, big wilderness traverses, Yellowstone is right in the middle of all these great wilderness areas where you're legally encouraged to paddle all these great rivers," said Forrest McCarthy, a board member of American Packrafting. "But you have this abstract (national park) boundary. When you're traveling through the wilderness with a packraft, like a migrating wolf or elk, all of a sudden you get this abstract line, and 'just because' you're not allowed to pass (that line). In theory, it'd be great if you could continue down Thorofare Creek, down the Yellowstone River, and then walk over to the Heart River and float down to the Snake River.
"There is really nowhere else in the Lower 48 that offers that type of experience where you actually feel like you're Meriwether Lewis."
Though the two parks are located in the Lower 48, in a state just a half-day's travel from most of the country, the wildness they cradle exerts a strong pull on packrafters, who see Dick Griffith and Amos Burg (who used a packraft in 1929 to float the Bell and Porcupine rivers down to the MacKenzie River in the Northwest Territories) as the pathfinders of their sport. And that wildness also has a pull on Park Service officials and environmental groups concerned over how this form of adventure travel could impact the parks, their wildlife, and no small measure of their solitude.
Unintended Consequences
But with the open-ended wording of the Paddling Protection Act sponsored by Wyoming's congressional delegation, Yellowstone officials in particular worry about unintended consequences. The two-page measure being pushed by the American Packrafting Association, a group with only about 900 members, is short on specifics. It gives the Interior Department and National Park Service three years to assess the paddling potential of nearly 7,000 stream miles in Yellowstone, and dozens more miles in nearby Grand Teton.
Just surveying those stream miles could take three years, let alone the months needed to produce the environmental reports and craft paddling regulations for the navigable streams. If the Park Service fails to come up with a plan that identifies which sections of streams are open to paddling (by kayak, packraft, canoe, or, ostensibly, tube), all streams in the two parks would be open to paddlers. Drift boats could float the Yellowstone River through the Hayden Valley, canoeists could paddle the Lamar River through its namesake valley, and kayakers could tackle the 50 or so miles of the Yellowstone River from the Lower Falls to Gardiner, Montana. Groups could drift down the Firehole River, the Madison, and the Gibbon, as well as the Bechler, the Lewis, the Gallatin River and more.
"That's a huge problem with the bill," says Kristen Brengel, senior director of legislative and government relations for the National Parks Conservation Association. "The reason that Yellowstone, on the snowmobile issue, could do a new EIS quickly was because they had the old EISes to steer off of. But when you're writing an EIS from whole cloth ... there aren't a lot of parks that you could use any material from them on paddling, whitewater paddling. So they would literally be working on it from the ground up. And getting a staff person up to speed, getting someone to look at other parks, look at those issues there too, to analyze all the wildlife information, all this takes some time. ... They would have to study everything. The bill doesn't specify a specific areas where these folks want to go whitewater kayaking. It says everything. Because it says everything, they'd have to do an EIS on everything."
All told, there are an estimated 7,000 or so stream miles in Yellowstone. Not all of those creeks and rivers would be deep enough, or wide enough, to be navigable. Yet Yellowstone officials say that in its current form the Paddling Protection Act would require them to survey all those stream miles, not only to determine whether they're navigable, but to identify any resource issues, such as sensitive fisheries, critical habitat for other species, such as grizzlies that rely on trout, or thermal features.
"What's in this for Yellowstone, and the protection of Yellowstone?" wonders Yellowstone Superintendent Dan Wenk. "I understand what's in it for some people who are really into adventure opportunities on some segments of the rivers that we know they would like to have. The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, the Snake River. We know there are stretches that people would love to be able to paddle on, but those same stretches of river that they'd love to paddle on are the most difficult stretches of river for us to manage.
"Nobody talks about what happens next?" the superintendent went on. "It is an incredible precedent in Yellowstone National Park. But are then the pressures going to start coming for commercial opportunities on these rivers and streams? It doesn't say anything in the legislation, but is the pressure going to come? And then what about the fact that Congress is trying to regulate uses within a national park? And taking it out of our hands."
Legislating, or at least politically influencing, park management is not new. Efforts have been underway in North Carolina's congressional delegation to legislatively tell the Park Service how to govern off-road vehicle access at Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Pressure from U.S. Rep. Tom McClintock was thought to influence the agency's final Merced River Plan for Yosemite National Park. There have been unsuccessful efforts to legislate an extension of the lease for an oyster farm at Point Reyes National Seashore. And back in the 1980s, pressure from Wyoming's congressional delegation at the time led the Park Service to build Grant Village on the shores of Yellowstone Lake and leave the recreational vehicle campground at Fishing Bridge rather than shut it down and restore the area because of its location in grizzly bear habitat.
Though the Paddling Protection Act, carried by Rep. Cynthia Lummis, passed the House of Representatives, 220-194, it has failed so far to move in the Senate. While the measure was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, it stalled there. Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyoming, tried to get the committee chair, Sen. Mary Landrieu, a Democrat from Arkansas, to allow it to be marked up in the week before Congress's August recess, but that effort failed. But it's highly likely Wyoming's all-Republican delegation will resume its efforts to move the bill when Congress returns to work in September and, if necessary, next year.
Splintering Environmentalists
The battle has pitted environmental group against environmental group. Both the National Parks Conservation Association and the Greater Yellowstone Coalition oppose the legislation. The American Packrafting Association, and for a time American Whitewater, endorsed it. American Whitewater retreated to the sidelines after hearings in the House on the legislation.
"It just seemed like the legislation as it was modified was pretty darn benign, and a lot of people were supportive of it," said Kevin Colburn, the national stewardship director for American Whitewater. "And when it passed the House, it became clear that it was just going to become a very heated, dogmatic debate that wasn't really based in fact any more, publicly, and we simply didn't have the capacity or the appetite to tackle something like that."
Thought to be closely watching the matter is the International Mountain Bicycling Association, which has wanted to see more cycling trails in the National Park System. If the Wyoming delegation succeeds with the packrafters, the thinking goes, perhaps they'd agree to a similar effort to gain more cycling access.
At American Packrafting, President Brad Meiklejohn said, "(G)oing to the Congress was not our first choice. We had been working for a number of years with the Park Service, trying to get them to look at the issue, allowing some paddling on some rivers in Grand Teton and/or Yellowstone, and we kept getting the door slammed in our face, both by the Park Service and by the major NGOs, including NPCA and the Greater Yellowstone Coaltion.
"I think what really brought it to a head for folks involved with our organization was passage of the Snake River Headwaters Wild and Scenic Act. We thought there would be the perfect opportunity for the Park Service to at least take a look at whether any level of paddling might be compatible on rivers on Yellowstone and Grand Teton that were in that wild and scenic river area," he continued. "And so we were hopeful that they would at least give it a little consideration, and were disappointed when they dismissed it outright, citing the bans that had been in place since the 1950s, saying they were basically tying their hands, saying they couldn't do it, couldn't consider it."
The packrafters, Mr. Meiklejohn said, are not looking for across-the-board access to Grand Teton's and Yellowstone's streams, but rather a reasonable discussion with the Park Service that will lead to some stream access.
"We're not asking for the whole enchilada, we're not expecting the whole enchilada, we're just asking for a fair hearing," he said. "And that's really what hasn't happened at all to date. We think it's a relatively benign use that does happen in virtually every other national park in the country. It's not like we're proposing to ride ATVs through the Sistine Chapel."
Rep. Lummis, who sponsored an early form of the legislation in the House last fall, doesn't understand why the Park Service won't agree to a dialogue with the paddlers.
"I thought they (the paddlers) made a compelling case, that they just want to visit with the National Park Service, particularly in Yellowstone and Grand Teton, and on the (National) Elk Refuge (with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) about the ability to paddle on some of the rivers in Grand Teton and Yellowstone that they are currently prohibited from accessing," the congresswoman said. "It seemed reasonable to me that the paddlers should at least be able to sit down with the superintendents of the parks so they could talk about it. There are, for example, places in the Selway (within the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness in Idaho and Montana), which is a wilderness area, that they can put in on one shore, and put out on the same bank of the river.
"These are people who really do tend to be, they tread pretty lightly on the land, they're pretty respectful of the nature that they're using. So it strikes me as putting form over subsistence, to reference a rule and say we're not even going to consider it because there's a rule that says we don't need to consider it," said Rep. Lummis. "I want to remove that rule, by statute, thereby at least giving them a seat at the table. Now, the superintendents of the parks may say we don't want to open up any more waters to paddling, and if that happens, so be it. But at least the paddlers could sit down and make their case with the park superintendents about the places they feel that they should legitimately be allowed to put in and take out during certain times of year."
But Yellowstone, said Superintendent Wenk, long has approached visitation and recreation differently than other parks.
"I think the biggest issue that we have to resolve is sort of one of the tradition of use. Yellowstone is different than many places just because of a tradition of use," he said, explaining that visitors to the park haven't come specifically for "transportation or recreational opportunities" but rather to enjoy the park as it is. "Our streams were closed in the '50s to paddling of all sorts. We've developed the scenic vistas that are incredibly important to people, without boats at this time. Maybe it's a question that needs to be answered at some time, but right now we haven't officially asked that question through a planning process. We've never really had any pressure for it before now. I know that there's just a lot of people who like the way it is."
But what rivers could possibly be involved if the Paddling Protection Act becomes law?
Currently, all but five of Yellowstone's 168 lakes are open to paddling. The only river open to paddlers, though, is the Lewis River Channel that ties Shoshone and Lewis lakes together. In Grand Teton, officials say 85 percent of the waters -- including the Snake River that draws commerical outfitters as well as private paddlers -- are open. Nevertheless, in Grand Teton, packrafters eye Pacific Creek, the Gros Ventre River, and the Buffalo Fork. In Yellowstone, American Packrafting officials have developed detailed reviews of streams in Yellowstone that point to their goals. A "river inventory" prepared by the association lists nearly 70 appealing streams in Yellowstone, from an 18-mile stretch of the Bechler River in the park's southwestern corner to a nearly 24-mile stretch of the Yellowstone River through the Black Canyon, a prized Class V stretch of whitewater, in the northern end of the park. All told, the inventory lists 615.3 miles of river, categorizing individual segments as either "Advanced Wilderness Travel," "Classic Whitewater," "Family River," "Roadside Adventure," or "Wildlife Landscape."
The chart goes on to describe the qualities and attractions of each segment ("fast, fun whitewater, wilderness," is attached to the Heart River, while the 6.8-mile stretch of the Buffalo River in the northeastern corner of the park is described as "remote, extreme paddling"), lists put-ins and takeouts, points out parking areas, and identifies potential administrative problems, such as streams running through Bear Management Areas that can restrict travel at times of the year.
More so, a website run by Mr. McCarthy details some of the major river runs in Yellowstone, and even links to a boastful article written by one member of a trio that ran the Yellowstone River from the Lower Falls out to Gardiner, where they were arrested for their voyage.
These resources give Yellowstone's superintendent little confidence that any paddling plan that doesn't permit access to most, if not all, of these streams would be accepted by the packrafting community.
"I had this conversation with members of the paddling community when they were talking to us about this legislation, I basically asked them this question, 'If we agree to do the study of paddling in Yellowstone National Park, and you don't put this legislation in, will you agree that whatever we determine, will you accept it?' And they said no," Superintendent Wenk said. "I have no confidence that unless certain segments get the stretches of river that they've stated as very important to them, anything less will be unacceptable."
But Mr. Meiklejohn, the packrafter's president, says that isn't so.
"We're looking for a fair hearing. If, at the end of the day, the conclusion is that the impacts are just unacceptable, we will abide by that," he said.
Relatively little attention, at least vocally, has been given to the cost of this plan on the Park Service. A Congressional Budget Office analysis has said it would cost $4 million over five years in the form of the requisite studies the Paddling Protection Act would have the Park Service conduct. At a time of fiscal distress on the federal level, when Wyoming communities had to come up with funds to help Yellowstone crews plow roads to open the park for the spring 2013 season, when Sen. Enzi has asked the Government Accountability Office to recommend ways the Park Service can save money, and when the agency has a maintenace backlog of an estimated $12 billion, where the agency would find $4 million for this initiative is a question hanging in the air.
Thanks for this well-balanced article, Kurt!
I'm not a paddler and can't afford to travel to Yellowstone anyway. But it's curious that most of the stream miles in question are open to fishing, which arguably causes more resource damage (trampling of riparian & spawning habitat, snagged hooks and lines, etc.) and whose more numerous practicioners probably impact wildlife and "opportunities for solitude" more than technical boating seemingly would. And what about taxpaying paddler's opportunities for solitude?
As far as potential commercial use, this park seems to have been somehow able to tolerate the far greater resource impacts of as many as 9500 concession head of stock annually for decades:
The quoted $4M cost to survey the streams seems to me as exaggerated and self-serving as most of the NPS's visitation and economic benefit statistics. Yellowstone management somehow finds almost half a million dollars per year (not counting surveys ;o) for the benefit of a tiny number of snowmobilers crossing Sylvan Pass:
Rather than waiting many years for the bureaucratic gears to slowly grind out another grand plan, the largest and/or most desirable streams could be surveyed first and opened or closed on a case by case basis. I'd bet many of those wishing to paddle in Yellowstone would be happy to reduce the park's costs by assisting management in such an effort. The current legislation does seem poorly written, but I suspect NPS management's attitude would be much harder to revise than the bill's language.
Superintendent Wenk's statement that "visitors to the park haven't come specifically for transportation or recreational opportunities" seems contradicted by my examples above. The "traditional use" argument seems especially hollow from here at Mount Rainier. Paradise is one of the birthplaces of American skiing and one of the best and most beautiful places for backcountry skiing and snowshoeing in our national parks, yet today's winter recreationists are increasingly locked out of a road the NPS has to plow and patrol daily anyway.
Yellowstone management's refusal to engage seems to be sending paddlers the same message Rainier employees have told me in person: "If you don't like the way we do things, then go somewhere else."
I'll have to confess my ignrance here, and admit that this is the first time I've ever heard the term "packrafting."
But it certainly seems to be very low-impact activity. I think I'd like to try it someday.
However, I'd also hate to see it simply unleashed to be allowed everywhere. Some places need to remain sacrosanct. One, for example, is the Yellowstone River as it passes through Hayden Valley. Another might be the Madison as it flows between Madison Junction and the park's western boundary. Shouldn't there be at least a few places where the scenic values should not be interrupted by humans any more than the already are?
Again my old mantra: Proceed only with extreme caution.
Great article, Kurt. The NPS refusing to sit down with a group reminds me of a conversation the Smokies superintendent had after we badgered him to grant us an audience over proposed "backcountry restructuring". Dale Ditmanson said," We have all kinds of fringe groups that want to meet with me from segway riders to you backpackers."
Why is it not allowed in Canyonlands NP? If I hike to one of the normal put-in spots, take-out at a similar spot, and then hike out from there, what's the harm if I acquire (a) river and backcountry permit(s) in advance? (I was planning such a trip; until reading this article, it never crossed my mind that it wouldn't be allowed.)
"If you don't like the way we do things, then go somewhere else."
This seems to be a more common sentiment from the NPS these days and why we have to have Congress intervene. And they wonder why thier losing relevancy, here is your sign.
"But are then the pressures going to start coming for commercial opportunities on these rivers and streams? It doesn't say anything in the legislation, but is the pressure going to come? And then what about the fact that Congress is trying to regulate uses within a national park? And taking it out of our hands."Superintendent Wenk makes a great point. Someone sets up a business outside the Park to cater to a specific recreational activity that is conducted inside the Park. Clients come, more business follow, groups form and sometimes before the Park can get its ducks in a row with respect to the EL, ESA, Organic Act there is a group that wants to dominate the use of the Park to their own desires and goals. Sometimes it is a big big problem: ORVs on beaches, snowmobiles in Yellowstone, mountain bikes somewhere else.Backpacking paddlers seems fine until they are everywhere where they shouldn't be. I think the NPS is learning from its mistakes and being cautious, as they should be.
I was also surprised to read that packrafting is not allowing in Cayonlands because, in fact, it is allowed:
"There is no vehicle access to the rivers near the Confluence or in Cataract Canyon. While hiking trails lead to the rivers from each of the districts, these trails are too long and rugged to be seriously considered for shuttles, unless groups use equipment designed for this purpose (e.g. pack rafts)."(http://www.nps.gov/cany/planyourvisit/rivers.htm)
The link in the article ("Canyonlands National Park in Utah specifically prohibits it on its website") is merely for the terms and conditions of Guided Still Photography.
IMBA needs to learn something. So, if a small association of 900 folks manages to get legislation going to go over the NPS bureaucracy, IMBA should be able to do the same for mountain bikers.
Thanks, Laura. Good to know.
Thanks for pointing that out re Canyonlands, Laura. We'll fix the story to reflect that.
I have seen people do it in Zion on way down from the Narrows in the Virgin River.
"Someone sets up a business outside the Park to cater to a specific recreational activity that is conducted inside the Park. Clients come, more business follow, groups form and sometimes before the Park can get its ducks in a row with respect to the EL, ESA, Organic Act there is a group that wants to dominate the use of the Park to their own desires and goals."
So there can be no limited paddling trial period on any Yellowstone or Grand Teton stream, or even a dialogue, because it might lead to this?
I'm not saying (and I doubt you are suggesting that I am) that pack paddling will lead to that. Obviously that situation deserves some more scrutiny.
I am saying that discusion and rules need to be set up before not after the fact for pack paddling or what ever new recreation activity is around the corner. Any decision/rules about any recreation activities should be carefully crafted around the EL , Organic Act and pertinent federal, state and local laws, some activities for some parks won't pass.
Personally pack paddling seems fine but I really don't understand the particulars of those parks.
I think we mainly agree on the need for "discussion and rules", but the NPS avoidance of dialogue appears to me to have largely caused the proposed draconian legislation and political interference the YELL super complains about in Kurt's article.
I'm certainly no expert on the "particulars of those parks", either, but I can sympathize with the paddlers who must feel like second-class citizens compared to those who enjoy established visitor activities. I realize it would be politically very difficult to change, but it's sad that the NPS seems to have a double-standard for new vs 'traditional use' resource impacts.
Your quoted post so mirrored the climbing concession situation here at Rainier that I couldn't resist drifting the subject a bit. The management double-standard toward recreational activities is alive and well here also. They have a rather cozy relationship with the guide services and climbing seems to be considered glamorous, despite the rather frequent accidents, but our superintendent has called those who wish to ski while it's snowing (when Cascade snow conditions are often at their best) "crazy" in public meetings. Concession winter climbing seminars have routinely been given access to Paradise while the public is excluded.
NPS like most bureaucracies is slow to change and update rules. I don't know the inner workings, and people on this site should be able to fill in, but there seems to be quite an aversion to changing anything. Is it because it requires more paperwork and more work than just going along with the status quo?

Our terrifying reliance on GPS, and the need to develop a ground-based alternative November 7, 2014 at 2:16 pm
The Global Positioning System, or GPS, has — somewhat surprisingly — found itself at the heart of modern civilization. There is no doubt that the ubiquity of GPS across all areas of civilian, commercial, and scientific endeavor has improved the quality of life for billions of people. It is a little bit scary, then, that GPS can very easily be jammed or disrupted by terrorists or other nefarious actors. What are the alternatives? Do we have a backup?
Nobel Prize awarded to scientists for discovering the brain's 'inner GPS' system October 6, 2014 at 9:27 am
2014's Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to John O'Keefe, May-Britt Moser, and Edvard Moser for their discovery of the brain's 'inner GPS' system. The prize revolves around their discovery of place cells and grid cells in the brain that appear to create a cognitive map of every room or space that you've ever explored. As you move around a room or space, a very specific place cell fires — and when you visit the same place again in the future, the same place cell fires every time.

NEW DELHI: The Union Home Ministry on Friday sought to play down the controversy over denial of Delhi Police Commissioner post to Kiran Bedi, India's first woman IPS officer who belongs to the 1972 batch of the Union Territory cadre and has just two more years to retire.
Ms. Bedi has alleged that her seniority and merit had been overlooked and the Government acted in a biased manner because she was a woman. While proceeding on a 'protest leave' for three months, Ms. Bedi, currently Director-General of Bureau of Police and Research Development (BPR&D), said that she was superseded by Yudhbir Singh Dadwal, two years her junior.
Well-placed sources in the Home Ministry said that there was no question of the Ministry showing a "gender bias" while assessing the case of Ms. Bedi for posting her as Delhi Police chief. Sources pointed out that she was already promoted to the rank of Director-General of Police (DGP) on August 1, 2006 whereas Mr. Dadwal got the rank only on Thursday; therefore, there was no question of her being superseded by any IPS officer junior to her.
Wider consultation
Sources said the Home Ministry ensured a "wider consultation process" and the matter of finding a suitable IPS officer to head the Delhi Police was also discussed by the Committee on National Security and Central Police Personnel Welfare.
Duggal cited
"The matter was put up before this Committee, a wider consultative process was followed so there is no question of any showing any bias," sources said while pointing out that no individual could claim his or her suitability to a particular post.
Citing example of the former Union Home Secretary, V.K. Duggal, sources said that he was found suitable because of his experience in tackling difficult situations in the North-East.
Similarly, Mr. Dadwal's experience of working in different capacities in Delhi Police in the recent past could have tilted the scales in his favour for appointment as Delhi Police Commissioner, sources added.

2015 Chrysler Cars
Not much hs changed at Chryser since the full-size rear-drive 300 sedan was completely revamped for 2011. The mid-size Sebring was given a mild makeover the same year and rebadged the 200, with the same badge given to the Sebring Convertible. Chrysler also continues to produce its Town & Country minivan, again significantly updated and improved in 2011.
Founded by Walter Chrysler in 1925, Chrysler vehicles were designed to be aimed at a more premium segment but at mainstream costs and the company has attempted to stay true to this mandate ever since. In 2011 Fiat took over most of the control of Chrysler.

Civil Litigation
criminal justice
This whole thing seems political. Here's hoping they all take it back into the courtroom.
Mr. Liman's pettifoggery, along with about $4, will get him a tall skinny fair-trade decaf latte at Starbucks. And that's all it will get him.
Liman has a losing argument. Corporations speak solely through their officers. When a corporate officer invokes reliance on the advice of counsel to support the position that the corporation complied with the law, the attorney-client privilege is waived. The point is not seriously debatable. Liman should know better.
Liman's letter is a shell game. The executives who asserted the advice-of-counsel defense are BOA's highest executives. How does BOA speak but through it's top executives? If it were some small-level employee speaking, then Liman's letter would be persuasive. Given the actual facts of the case, Liman's letter is a joke.
Here's a question for Liman: Why is BOA paying the SEC fine rather than holding the responsibility parties personally liable? If Liman is the lawyer for BOA rather than the individual executives, maybe he should sue the execs on BOA's behalf. *That* would make his letter more than a shell game.
After what happened to Martha Stewart, the bank's executives were not not going to let their statements be used as the basis for an obstruction of justice charge, or a charge they gave false testimony. Cuomo is on a fishing expedition, using this case to get publicity for his planned campaign next year for Governor.
Cuomo is a thug.
Bank of America did this nation a great service by purchasing Merrill at a time when stability was a rare commodity. This was done at the inistence of the Federal Government. Why insn't the NY AG interested in all the shareholders of Washington Mutual which was taken over by the FDIC and then gifted to JP Morgan (a New York company I believe). None of the BOFA , Countrywide or Merrill shareholders lost their shares. However BOFA is hounded. I am a Bofa shareholder and I would have expected Merrill employess to b e paid their bonuses. Not to have done so would have created an exodus from the company. The SEC have investigated and are satisfied are they not? So why is the NY AG trying to second guess the SEC. Please NY AG stop negatively impacting my investment.
Cuomo is attacking the wrong dog on this one, but you have to understand why. He is basically not that smart a guy. Circumstances allowed him to nab the AG job after his humiliating failure in the governor's race, all he knows is that Spitzer, before self-destructing, seemed to do wonderful things for himself by attacking Big Finance. Cuomo has no sense of nuance, no eye for distinctions; he just thinks if he does what he understands Spitzer to have done, and just doesn't get caught with a prostitute, he'll become governor. He may, because NY is so dysfunctional, but to understand what he's doing in this BOA thing, you have to understand that he's not the brightest guy ever to have graduated from Albany Law School.
Clever, simple (and inappropriate) prosecution strategy: just ask if you consulted counsel, and when someone answers yes then the prosecutor says "advice of counsel defense" and the attorney client privilege is gone. Seems to be overreaching, unfair and bad policy.

The pro-Castro argument is wearing thin. Too much has been heard about human rights abuses and the corruption in the Cuban regime. The support that was once so sturdy now is unable to even argue against calling him a dictator.
"When you ask these intellectuals 'why is it that he cannot be called a dictator?' they cannot even respond against it," Galeno told ABC News. Perhaps because these same left-wing thinkers, filled with ardent loyalty toward the man who gave them support in the darkest hours of the Brazilian junta, felt a sense of betrayal when they saw how Castro became the very thing they were fighting against.
For now, respectful attitudes continue but slowly a wind of change can be felt.
"All the main intellectuals were always left-wing," Galeno said. "Now there is a culture of right-wing intellectualism emerging, which is inspired by ideas formed in the United States."
A change in the air, perhaps? Or maybe the old ideas are simply running out of gas.
