A mixing subshift of finite type T is a factor of a sofic shift S of greater entropy if and only if the period of any periodic point of S is divisible by the period of some periodic point of T. Mixing sofic shifts T satisfying this theorem are characterized, as are those mixing sofic shifts for which Krieger's Embedding Theorem holds. These and other results rest on a general method for extending shift-commuting continuous maps into mixing subshifts of finite type.

Holiday music stops at Irving Berlin's NY door
More News from Associated Press
NEW YORK — A caroling group that for 35 years has performed the Irving Berlin classic "White Christmas" on Christmas Eve outside the New York City home where the composer lived has cancelled the tradition.
A group spokesman says the plans were abruptly cancelled last week for lack of space at the Manhattan home, which now serves as the Luxembourg consulate.
The tradition started in the late 1970s with one cabaret singer outside the home. In 1983, Berlin invited the singers inside for cocoa and cookies.
Berlin died in 1989 at age 99.
Luxembourg Consul-General Jean-Claude Knebeler tells the New York Post the ballroom where the group performed is filled with office equipment because the consulate expanded. He says he hopes the tradition resumes in another year in the consulate's library.

Karnataka has now entered the regime of Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) System where the grid-connected green energy generators can trade these certificates with Escoms of the States which do not have adequate renewable energy potential to comply with Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO), which stipulates the minimum quantum of green energy to be bought by them annually.
To create awareness in this regard among green energy generators, a workshop was held in Bangalore on Thursday by the Karnataka Renewable Energy Development Limited in association with Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited.
Speaking to mediapersons on the sidelines of the workshop, Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC) Chairman M.R. Sreenivasa Murthy explained that all the States have been mandated to buy renewable energy that is equivalent of 10 per cent of their total power procurement in a bid to reduce emission of green house gases.
But procurement of green energy in States such as Karnataka had already touched 12 per cent of total procurement of power as they had abundant potential to tap this energy while there were States which hardly had any potential in green energy.
This mechanism identifies two components in renewable energy —Electricity component and environment or green component. The generators could trade the green component to other states while the electricity component would be sold to the States with which they have signed a power purchase agreement.
Explaining the mechanism involved in getting REC for the excess power, he said such generators' power would be procured at a rate which is the average of total cost of procurement of all sources of power by the utility. The average procurement cost is presently Rs. 2.73 in Karnataka, he said. The generator would make additional profit by selling the certificate towards the green component to other States at a market price, he said.
Mr. Murthy welcomed the allocation of subsidy to the tune of Rs. 4,600 crore to the power sector in the State Budget presented by Chief Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda on Wednesday. He said about 4,156 crore was the subsidy for the coming financial year while the remaining amount was related to the backlog of subsidies towards earlier years. Effort to commence the process of clearing backlog of earlier subsidies is a god development, he said.
KPTCL Managing Director Ravi Kumar said the total outlay of Rs. 10,289 crore made to the power sector in the State Budget included equity component of different government-held entities in power sector. This would help them to borrow more and invest more on various projects, he noted.
He said the summer power supply situation so far was satisfactory in the State. "We have faced problems only when the generation units face technical snags. Otherwise, the supply situation has not been affected."

Great location.
Have stayed here many times.
Comfortable, quiet
Thank you Tatyana for a very nice stay in your cottage. Your place is very beautiful and the kitchen was nice to cook in. It was so nice to stay for a week away from the city. Thanks for the hospitality! :)
Totally charming, comfortable, and very reasonably priced; oh, and the view from the deck will make you grin. It was easy to get in, easy to set up the wireless, kitchen, etc. Don't book a hotel in Mill Valley - spoil yourself and stay here.
I came to Mill Valley for the trail running, and it is some of the best in the USA. Start with Tennessee Valley, just minutes away. And stop in the SF Running Company.
Tatyana was an amazing host, she met us at check in and answered all of our questions. Her place is truly amazing, it really is better than the pictures could show. The view of the city from the deck is breathtaking. The comfy cottage offers all the privacy you need and is really nicely laid out with a separate bedroom and den. The location is amazing, Mill Valley is a special place. Don't miss going to downtown Mill Valley and other nearby must see places like Muir Woods and Stinson Beach. My wife and I loved our time there and definitely hope to come back one day.
Tatyana and Joe have gone above and beyond to create a comfortable, welcoming home-away-from-home for their guests. We loved starting our mornings with a cup of coffee on the deck, which is tucked into a beautiful variety of lush vegetation and boasts vistas of the bay and San Francisco skyline. We would highly recommend this space to our close friends and family!
We were very pleased with the look and feel of this cottage ..actually better than what we were expecting! It's too bad that our 2 nights was far too short to enjoy the space.
From bed linens to bathroom facilities, it was what we would expect from a 4 star hotel property but had the conveniences of a home (like a washer and dryer and fully outfitted kitchen if you needed one)
We found the location perfect for exploring Marin County and the night out to town for dinner in San Francisco!
One slight suggestion is to install sensor lights on the driveway for late arrivals as it was a bit dark to see the driveway and the path into the house.
We didn't have the chance to meet Tatyana but she was prompt in responding to any enquiry we had. Thanks for a lovely start to our vacay!
We really enjoyed our stay! The cottage was well appointed and centrally located. We would definitely consider coming back again!

affiliated with the AIDS research centers also are supported with additional R01s from NIAAA, NIDA, or NIMH. Currently, NIMH is funding five AIDS research centers, each with a different focus, ranging from the basic cellular mechanisms underlying ADC to basic and applied research on HIV risk behaviors.
Total NIH funding increased more than 100 percent between 1983 and 1993 (from $4.3 billion to $10.3 billion). While growth in AIDS research in the same period appears to be explosive by absolute measures, it reflects the requirement to respond rapidly to a new disease with major public health implications. Seven NIH institutes (including NIDA and NIMH) together received the vast majority of AIDS funding during this period: 90 percent of the total AIDS budget for FY 1992 and over 90 percent of the cumulative total since 1983 (Figure S.4).
While NIAAA, NIDA, and NIMH represent a significant portion of the NIH AIDS budget, their funds are distributed quite differently from most of the other institutes. In FY 1992, NIAAA, NIDA, and NIMH together comprised approximately 20 percent of the total NIH AIDS budget (NIAAA was a relatively minor portion of this). According to estimates for FY 1993, the three institutes continued to account for 11 percent of the total NIH budget and 20 percent of the AIDS budget. Yet they funded more than 97 percent of NIH's AIDS-related behavioral research, 64 percent of surveillance, 54 percent of neuroscience and neuropsychiatric research at NIH, and over 30 percent of health services research and research training (as defined by categories used by the Public Health Service). On the other hand, NIAAA, NIDA, and NIMH account for less than one percent of the funding for therapeutic agents and 12 percent of the funding for biomedical research, two categories that together represent nearly 60 percent of the total NIH AIDS budget. It is clear that NIAAA, NIDA, and NIMH play a critical role in the overall NIH AIDS research agenda and in its biobehavioral and behavioral agenda in particular.
After reviewing the content and management of the AIDS research portfolios of the NIAAA, NIDA, and NIMH in Chapter 6, the committee makes several recommendations:
6.1 The committee recommends that NIAAA, NIDA, and NIMH each establish a position for a full-time AIDS coordinator. The coordinator should be provided appropriate resources

TuneECU Injection Pulse reading - Screenshot
View Single Post
Gnarly Adventurer
Joined: Apr 2011
Oddometer: 235
Just had a few min to do some checks...
I loaded up the akrapovic map and found that the sputtering from the left pipe stopped, however the exhaust pulse still felt stronger (just subjectively on my hand) from the right pipe. I'd have sworn they always felt about the same in the past but I don't remember really thinking about it before, so I don't know if this difference is normal or not. I really wish I knew if the difference is normal... (the bike does have leo vince pipes w/ an h pipe, so who knows). The injector pulse reading in TuneECU was still longer for cyl 2 than for cyl 1 with this map. With this map, cyl 1 MAP read about 20hPa lower than cylinder 2 at idle, but they're matched with the stock map - not sure if this would mean anything.
I used in IR thermometer and the front cylinder header is about 20degrees warmer than the rear but they're pretty close with either map.
I then re-loaded the stock map and the sputtering in the left exhaust pipe returned.
I noticed in TuneECU that my voltage drops from about 13.1V to 12.5 when the fans come on. I saw it dip as low as 11.8 at one point. As the bike runs the O2 voltage would typically be in the .75-.8V range for both cyl but would drop to virtually 0 occasionally. I was looking to see if it correlated with the voltage drop when the fans came on but couldn't really tell if it happens around the same time or not.
Next up will be to try big-t's suggestion of squeezing vacuum lines... not sure if I'll be able to access them with the airbox on or not but we'll see - definitely a good idea.
In the meantime - anyone have any ideas as to why the injector pulse would still be longer with the akrapovic no-O2 map loaded? I guess this could suggest some leak in the vacuum hoses huh? Do you think my voltage drop when the fans come on is abnormal (ie - do I need a new battery?)

European F3 champion lands tester position for Mercedes F1 while he takes on new challenge in the German touring car series (DTM).
At this time, Mercedes nor Williams have made a comment on Toto Wolff replacing Norbert Haug.
Just prior to the 2012 holidays in December, Timo Glock was very positive on the future of Marussia when they hired Pat Symonds. Now it appears that Glock will be leaving the team.
At the end of the 2012 racing season, Norbert Haug's departure as the head of Mercedes motorsports programs sent shockwaves through the racing community. It now appears that Toto Wolff will be named as the new director this coming week.
DTM may grow in numbers in 2013. The hotly contested German series may see Alex Zanardi, Jaime Alguersuari, and Bruno Senna take on a new challenge.

FEMA Temporary housing helps community recover
Main Content
Video by Mark Meytin - Apr 16, 2008
Greensburg residents not only lost their homes after the EF-5 tornado struck May 4, 2007, but the schools were destroyed along with the businesses in the small Kansas community. FEMA provided immediate assistance and delivered temporary housing so that residents could remain in town to rebuild their homes and businesses and attend a temporary school facility established to keep the community together. FEMA temporary housing provided the flexibility necessary for the town's recovery so that the schools would have students, business would have employees and customers, and the whole community of Greensburg would have the opportunity to come back. - Location: Greensburg, KS

This website is the collective data of all mind altering substances. The data they provide is very helpful and accurate. The best feature is the 1000's of experience reports, written by those who've experienced the substance's effects firsthand. One a personal note, this website has saved me from consuming substances that would not have had any benefit to me. "Knowledge is the power to make a choice" could be a good motto for this site!

Provides accurate, reliable, potentially life saving information—not to mention the vivid and entertaining experience reports that can give people an accurate depiction of what to expect from mind-altering substances.

Erowid is an amazing resource of information that is invaluable in the subject of anything that could be defined in any way as a drug. The information provided is potentially life saving, and focused on harm reduction. Most people do drugs in their lifetime and having proper information on whatever substance that you are using is essential for safety. Erowid has undoubtedly saved the lives of many people.

Erowid is such an amazing resource to have. I remember when I first discovered it I was completely shocked to find there were such intelligible substance users (not abusers) whom shared all of their experiences and decades of knowledge and research and had it all compiled into one easily accessible webspace. Many, many substance users are completely ignorant and like to claim they know everything about a substance when in fact they know nothing. I once had someone tell me they took a hydrocodone pill with 325 mg of hydrocodone. I laughed, very hard. it was in fact a hydrocodone/acetaminophen combination. 325 mg acetaminophen and I believe 5 mg hydrocodone. 325 mg would have them dead. Anyway I am fortunate along with many other smart users to have this website available, I have learned much valuable information and if I come across a substance I am unsure of, I am able to look it up on erowid and avoid taking an unknown substance that I have no knowledge about. Also it has helped me avoid taking many substances that I would have likely not found enjoyable, it is great to have the experience reports available and to learn from others mistakes, although it seems most of erowid's users are quite intelligent. Erowid also posts contraindications, for example if an experience report talks about someone having driven a vehicle while under the influence, erowid's administrators will not that it is not wise to drive while under the influence of any substance. Thank you Erowid for your generous contribution to our community and for allowing us the resource to keep our experiences safe and pleasant.

Erowid is the most phenomenally useful website for information on any mind-altering substance, whether it be pharmaceutical, spiritual or recreational. It provides the most accurate, unbiased and helpful information to help you protect yourself and your friends from coming to harm from a substance. I would recommend this website until I couldn't recommend anymore.

This website has been apart of my life for many years. I have used the information on the site for many different avenues of my life. The experience and wealth of knowledge is invaluable. As a maturing adult without many reliable sources this site helped me find myself and place in the world. They have introduced me to the many pioneers and forerunners. This site is simply amazing. It was also quite nice to hear them speak at Sasha's service.

Also Issues a Proposed Rule to Harmonize Compliance Obligations for Registered Investment Companies Required to Register as Commodity Pool Operators
Derivatives Insight
On February 9, 2012, the CFTC adopted a final rule and proposed rule with respect to registration and compliance obligations for Commodity Pool Operators (CPOs) and Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs). The final rule rescinds the exemption from registration under section 4.13(a)(4) of the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) previously afforded to certain investment companies but reinstates a trading threshold which would exclude certain registered investment companies with de minimis trading activities from being required to register as a CPO; removes relief from certification requirements for annual reports provided to operators of certain commodity pools; requires annual filing of notices for claiming exemptive relief; and imposes new disclosure requirements for CPOs and CTAs. The rule was adopted on a 4-1 vote with Commissioner Sommers dissenting.
The proposed rule seeks to reduce the burden of new registration requirements for investment companies that are registered as private fund advisors with the SEC which, under the final rule, will now be required to register with the CFTC as well. The proposed rule would provide registered investment companies with relief from certain disclosure, reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Comments are due 60 days after publication in the Federal Register.

There was poor network segmentation that allowed the attackers to jump from low-value networks to critical systems.

US Marines, Killed in Nepal Crash, Have Been Recovered →
News, via the Joint Task Force 505 from KATHMANDU, Nepal, May 17, 2015 – Joint Task Force 505 officials have identified the six U.S. Marines who were killed along with two Nepalese soldiers when their UH-1Y Huey helicopter crashed in the mountains of Nepal May 12.
Once identified as the crash site, Nepalese Special Forces stood watch over our fallen Marines and their Nepalese Army comrades-in-arms throughout the night, till recovery efforts could be mounted.

Recovery Effort
Today at approximately 10:00 a.m. Nepal Standard Time, Nepalese soldiers and service members from Joint Task Force 505 safely recovered the fallen U.S. and Nepalese service members to the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, Nepal.
The soldiers and Marines were honorably received at TIA and will be transported to the appropriate medical facilities to be properly identified by mortuary affairs personnel.
JTF 505 Commander Marine Corps Lt. Gen John E. Wissler thanked the people of Nepal and the Nepalese armed forces for their selfless dedication in the search and recovery of the fallen service members.
"I am honored to serve alongside the Nepalese soldiers and to call them my friends" he said.
"You never hesitated in the joint effort to bring our brothers home. Everyone united -- the soldiers hiking through hazardous terrain, the pilots flying in uncertain weather conditions and the Nepalese special forces standing watch over our Marines on a mountainside at night," Wissler said. "We honor our fallen comrades through our unselfish support to each other in this time of grief."
The fallen service members were "courageous, selfless individuals dedicated to the international Humanitarian Aid mission here in Nepal whose memories will live on through the lives they touched during this disaster relief operation and in their previous service to their countries," he said.
JTF 505 arrived in Nepal April 29 to conduct humanitarian aid and disaster relief operations following the April 25 magnitude-7.8 earthquake. The helicopter crashed about 8 miles north of Charikot, Nepal, while supporting casualty evacuations following a second earthquake of magnitude 7.3 that occurred May 12.

Aseptic loosening resulting from inflammatory response to the implant wear debris is the major cause of late total hip arthroplasty (THA) failure. We examined single nucleotide polymorphisms in genes encoding for three involved cytokines — interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) — as potential predictors of time to onset of aseptic instability.
A total of 41 patients/45 total hip endoprostheses (same type, same surgeon) were followed up for as long as 18 years. They were genotyped for the IL-6 promoter (-597G→A) and (-572G→C), TNF-α promoter (-308G→A), and TGF-β1 signal sequence (29T→C) transitions. Cox regression was performed on the prosthesis survival.
Overall, 22 of 45 prostheses developed aseptic instability. Cumulative survivals at 10 and 15 years after THA were 95.6% and 66.6%, respectively. The effect of a particular polymorphic site was estimated with adjustment for sex, age at THA, reason for THA, and the effects of other analyzed sites. The hazard ratio (HR) for genotype T/T versus "C-allele carriage") at the TGF-β1 site was 8.23 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.45–46.8] (P = 0.017) or 5.70 (1.39-23.4) (P = 0.016) when the IL-6 promoter sites were considered as a "combination of genotypes (-597) | (-572). "The most prevalent combination of genotypes at IL-6 sites was G/A (-597) | C/C (-572). HR for this combination (versus other combinations) was 5.43 (1.73-17.0) (P = 0.004) when "TGF-β1 (29T→C)" was considered as a three-level factor (three possible genotypes), and 4.92 (1.71-14.1) (P = 0.003) when TGF-β1 site was considered as a two-level factor (T/T and "C-allele carriage". The HR for the "A-allele carriage" at TNF-α (-308G→A) could not be determined (only two patients had the G/G genotype).
This preliminary study is the first to suggest that the TGF-β1 signal sequence (29T→C) and IL-6 promoter (-597G→A) | (-572G→C) transitions are predictive for the time to onset of aseptic instability after THA.

Huchthausen, Walter G.
Walter G. Huchthausen, 90, of Stuart, Florida died August 29, 2013, at Martin Medical Center, Stuart. He was born in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, January 24, 1923, to Walter C. and Ella (Geisler) Huchthausen.
A Class of 1944 graduate of the
University of Wisconsin
, Walter worked for Bendix Aviation for three years prior to joining the family-owned business, Huchthausen Hardware and Industrial Supply Co. He also owned and operated The Toy Shop in Manitowoc and Green Bay. After retiring to Stuart in 1976, he worked as a realtor-broker for many years, operating his own company for eight years.
Walter and his future wife, Jean Horlamus, met while students at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. They married November 4, 1944 and settled in Detroit, where their daughter, Helen was born. Daughter Joan was born shortly after their move to Manitowoc. Throughout their 30 years in Manitowoc, the couple was active in community and church activities, with Walter serving as President of the Chamber of Commerce, Optimist Club and Redeemer Lutheran Church.
Walter was preceded in death by his wife of 67 years, Jean H. Huchthausen in 2012, and daughter, Helen Huchthausen Jurow, in 1999. He is survived by daughter, Joan Huchthausen, of Wheaton, Illinois and Stuart, Florida, and two grandsons and their families: Christopher and Teresa (Bratcher) Jurow, their children, Ian and Savannah Jurow, and Cameron and Susan (Myers) Jurow and their children, Brittany, Mariah and Alyssa Jurow and Brian and Kelsey Myers, all of South Carolina.
Family and friends remember Walter as a quiet gentleman with a dry sense of humor; a man of intellect, integrity and abiding faith in the Lord.
Services are scheduled for Saturday, September 21, 2013, at 11:00 a.m., Redeemer Lutheran Church, Stuart, FL, with Pastor David Albers officiating. The family will greet friends from 10:30 a.m. until the service, with a luncheon to follow at the fellowship hall. Private burial will be at Evergreen Cemetery, Manitowoc, WI. Memorials may be given to Redeemer Lutheran Church, 2450 S.E. Ocean Blvd., Stuart, FL 34996.

In 2005 the National Park Service at Zion completed public scoping on a plan to manage of backcountry in Zion that includes vast climbing opportunities, including some of the countrys most significant adventure big wall climbing. In May the park released its draft alternatives for managing 145,060 acres in Zion, which include recommended and potential wilderness and any technical rock climbing areas regardless of where they occur in the park.
The draft BMP identifies opportunities for a variety of backcountry experiences while recognizing and protecting the wilderness resources values of Zion National Park. For more information, see AFs 2005 scoping comments www.accessfund.org/pdf/AFscopZion.pdf and the draft plan http://parkplanning.nps.gov/document.cfm?.... The Access Fund generally supports the parks Proposed Action/Preferred Alternative B which continues existing policies (including seasonal closures to protect raptors and other protected resources) and will also encourage . . . access to climbs on established and marked routes. The NPS plan would not seek to monitor or otherwise limit the number of new climbs, but because of the wilderness management at Zion, the NPS will prohibit power drills and discourage excess bolting. Various other provisions in the draft BMP address overnight bivouacs, human waste, fixed ropes, access trails, and canyoneering in the backcountry.
The NPS at Zion will take comments to its proposed Backcountry Management Plan through July 29 at:

Climbing Advocates Sign Amicus Brief in U.S. Court of Appeals Supporting Efforts to Protect the Merced River and Visitor Access in Yosemite
The Access Fund announced on May 10th that it has joined a group of seven leading conservation and recreational organizations to take legal action supporting a specific point in the Yosemite National Parks Merced River Management Planadaptive carrying capacity management provisions.
The Merced River Plan, on hold since a District Court ruling in 2006 and currently in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, addresses use capacity in Yosemite Valley as a means to preserve and protect the Merced Wild & Scenic River. At issue is a District Court ruling that imposes numeric limits on visitors without the benefit of resource-based indicators.
The Access Fund maintains that this approach is impractical and unfair and that adaptive carrying capacity management provisions are a better management approach to protect the environment and visitor access.
For climbers, the Merced River litigation could be precedent setting concerning the establishment of user and carrying capacity restrictions for Wild and Scenic River areas across the country. The 9th Circuit Court ruling could result in restricted climbing access in all Wild and Scenic River management areas including Yosemite Valley, Yosemites Tuolumne region, the New River Gorge in West Virginia, the Obed River in Tennessee and other designated and proposed Wild and Scenic Rivers in California, Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Oregon, Washington, Kentucky, and elsewhere.
The Access Fund did not take its involvement in the appeal lightly. In the past the Access Fund has been at odds with Yosemite National Park on a variety of management plans but supports the Merced River Plan because the District Courts ruling requires a non-adaptive process placing specific but unproven numerical limits on use regardless of need. A better approach is the Merced River Plans scientifically sound adaptive carrying capacity management provisions that are based on decades of progress by national experts and professional land managers that would adjust visitor access when needed to prevent environmental harm and correct unacceptable impacts before they become irreversible.
The Access Fund signed onto a Friends of the Court brief in the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, joining several other organizations including The Yosemite Fund, Friends of the River, the American Alpine Club, National Parks Conservation Association, California Trout and The Wilderness Society.
The Access Fund intends this issue to be resolved through constructive engagement and cooperation. The case will be heard in San Francisco this fall and the Access Funds involvement will allow the climbing community to be heard during the appeal process.

Climbers visiting the Ely's Peak climbing area near Duluth, Minnesota should be aware of recent access issues at the crag. The owner of the private land on the north side of the Munger Trail has been having cars towed if they are parked near his driveway access on the south of the Munger Trail. The same landowner is very unhappy about climbers and hikers taking the traditional trail to Ely's which runs through his private property. Anyone hiking to the base of Ely's Peak should park on the public land side of the parking area and use the new climber's access trail.
For details and a map of where to park and where to hike, go to the Trip Reports section of the forum, Ely's Peak thread, at www.minnesotaclimbing.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=8.
In response to the land owners concerns, the City of Duluth, the DNR and the Access Fund have worked together with climbers to block off trails that lead to private land and to more clearly sign the area. Regional climbers came together on very short notice to help make the service day happen early in the season.
Nice work! Photos of the service day can be found at www.umdrsop.org/climbing/photos/elys_service_day/index.htm
And just to be clear, the climbs at Ely's Peak and the new access trail are entirely on public land and the City of Duluth has been very supportive of climbers continuing to use the area for climbing.
In Other News:
The Access Fund hosted its fourth annual Regional Climbers Forum on April 28 at the Midwest Mountaineering Outdoor Expo in Minneapolis, MN. There was a great turn out of climbers from Minnesota and Wisconsin.
For a summary of what was discussed at the forum, go to www.minnesotaclimbing.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=8 under the General Climbing thread.
An Oregon bill that would require Mt. Hood climbers to carry emergency locator beacons recently stalled in the Oregon Senate leading some to believe that the measure will fail this legislative session.
Earlier this year the Access Fund joined the Mountain Rescue Association and Portland Mountain Rescue in opposing a mandatory use of these simple one way devices. See the Access Fund testimony on the bill www.accessfund.org/pdf/HR_2509_Testimony.pdf. Find more background at www.accessfund.org/pubs/en/e-news77.htm#_Oregon_Beacon_Bill.
Steve Rollins, who conducts SAR activities on Mt. Hood, says the legislature can't mandate good judgment. I'm a strong believer that the laws of nature are going to be far more powerful than any law our legislators come up with. And if we can educate people to respect the laws of nature more, that will go a lot further than any law that we come up with.
The bill, while a well-intentioned attempt at addressing recent high profile rescue and recovery efforts on Oregons Mt. Hood, is a knee-jerk reaction and will not prevent climbers from being injured or killed in climbing related accidents. The bill simply adds a layer of red-tape to climbing a mountain and at worst could actually give less experienced climbers a sense of false security when presented with conditions out of their control.
Despite climbing groups and professional rescuers coming out against the bill, in late March the Oregon House of Representatives voted 33-22 to require the locator devices for all Mt. Hood climbers traveling above 10,000 feet. However, the bill was referred to the Senate General Government Committee where it is expected to not emerge with a vote in part because the legislation had no existing enforcement capability and no money to fund its regulation. Critics of the bill also note that the measure is reactive, not proactive. The Hood River News reports that virtually every mountaineering organization in Oregon opposed SB 2509 and pointed out that state statistics showed only 3.4 percent of rescues statewide involved climbers. Many in the Oregon legislature are now focused on efforts to fund search and rescue efforts conducted by county sheriff departments. For more information contact email@example.com

The Western Massachusetts Climbers Coalition (WMCC), an Access Fund Affiliate closed on a nine-acre parcel of land abutting Farley Ledge. Ownership of this parcel provides permanent public access while saving a precious natural resource from certain development.
Farley Ledge represents a unique and unspoiled natural outdoor recreation area in Erving, Massachusetts. Farley is a primary rock-climbing destination in New England, and includes one of the most impressive sections of the nationally recognized Metacomet-Monadnock Trail. Farley is home to five-star trad climbing, sport climbing, ice climbing, bouldering and top roping. Only 1.5 hours from downtown Boston, the crag features superb rock qualitycomparable to English grit in its best momentsand offers the only true multi-pitch experience in MA.
Farleyoften billed as the best crag between the Gunks and Rumneyis virtually unknown. Its mythical status can be attributed largely to its unstable access. While the crag itself is owned by a utility that must encourage recreation, current parking is located at a small, privately owned eight-car lot, and trail access lies across a patchwork of additional private land parcels. Access is constantly threatened by the disparate voices of land abutters. The WMCC have worked closely to soothe these neighbors. Even so, the trailhead has been moved several times and the crag itself has been closed four times in the last twenty years.
This purchase ends all that uncertainty. Construction of a new trailhead and parking lotthe easiest part of this whole processshould be finished in time for the fall season. Perhaps most encouraging of all is the fact that this success story represents the efforts of a large, organized and motivated community on the local, regional and national level. Locals sniffed out, carried and closed the deal; the Appalachian Mountain Club offered substantial funds at a critical juncture; the Access Fund provided a significant grant as well as invaluable guidance and support (the land purchase is a direct result of AFs Acquisition Summit held last year).
So we all deserve a pat on the back and tour come fall.

Pendergrass-Murray Recreational Preserve (PMRP) The Red River Reunion and a grant from Patagonia secured the funds for RRGCC owned Pendergrass-Murray Recreational Preserve (PMRP) 2007 mortgage payment. The Patagonia grant was received with the assistance of the Benchmark Outdoor Outfitters of Cincinnati, Ohio. Our sincere thanks go to all of the climbers and businesses who contributed to the 2007 fundraising effort.
On May 7 the RRGCC, Charmane Oil and Lee County agreed to work together to provide maintenance needs for Bald Rock Fork Road aka the road to the Motherlode, Sore Heel Hollow, Bob Marley, and Drive-By areas of the PMRP. The RRGCC Board approved a motion to provide Charmane up to $2,000 to defray material costs for maintaining the roads on the PMRP that are used by climbers.
In order to maintain positive relations between the three parties, climbers are asked to drive slowly, yield to other vehicles, and not obstruct oil facilities or vehicles. For climbers visiting the PMRP during the week if oil vehicles are blocking the road, climbers should consider going to another crag. It is also asked that climbers think about carpooling to the PMRP/Motherlode areas, use a 4WD vehicle or other vehicle that is capable of negotiating these roads, and show common courtesy to oil workers and others driving in the area.
Finally, the RRGCC is monitoring ownership issues regarding the renowned Motherlode sport climbing crag. The local owners of the land have told RRGCC representatives that they have separately sold the mineral rights for the property and that they intend to make surface rights available on eBay Reserve.
Torrent Falls
Torrent Falls is being purchased by climber and Red River Gorge hero Dr. Bob Matheny. Dr. Matheny will use the main bed and breakfast building at Torrent as his personal vacation home. The cabins on the property will still be available for rental through a management company. The current Torrent owners, Mark and Kathy Meyer will continue to operate their barbecue and climbing adventure business on the property next door. As the Meyers have been living in the main building at Torrent, climbing will continue to be limited to paid guests until they find a new home. After the purchase is finalized in a closing, conditions for a partial reopening of climbing will be announced.

For the past several months, Access Fund Regional Coordinator Kellie Rice has actively participated in monthly Clackamas County Parks Advisory Board meetings advocating immediate funding for the parks master planning followed by funding for capital improvements (e.g., on-site parking) in subsequent years. While provisional funding allocations for capital improvements are not allocated until 2009, there is reason to be optimistic.
On 22 April, the Madrone Wall Preservation Committee conducted a well attended (36 people) tour of the Madrone Wall site in Clackamas County. Most of those attending had not been to the site which has been posted "No Trespassing" for nearly ten years. One of the participants was new County Commissioner Lynn Peterson who provided encouragement that the park creation process is moving forward. County financial planning has apparently allocated funding to the parks master planning process in the county's next fiscal year to commence 1 July. Beyond that, more planning will be required to, for example, prepare for capital expenditures in the coming years. One of the largest capital expenditures will be to establish on-site parking. The Madrone Wall Preservation Committee continues to work with government and private philanthropic organizations to raise funding to offset county expenses.

Access to Skaha is in place for 2007, and The Land Conservancy of B.C. (TLC) and Skaha rockclimbers have been working hard on public access to Skaha for 2008 and beyond, with support from Mountain Equipment Co-op, the Access Society, and others.
TLC has agreed to buy 300 hectares of nearby private land (sublot 18 - southeast of Braesyde). When/if the land is bought, and needed work done, it will provide permanent public access to Skaha. Thanks to TLCs partners, a generous donation by the current owner, and other donations, much of the needed money has been raised. We need to raise $1 million by June 30th, and the climbing community must do everything it can to help. (The owner of sublot 18 extended the deadline from April 30th.)
How You Can Help
Make a donation to TLC, soon, and encourage all your friends to also do so. If you're a member of MEC, make your donation at www.conservancy.bc.ca/MEC-skaha and double your donation. Otherwise, see the links below.
If you can help with fundraising, or have ideas or connections that may help, contact TLC or the Access Society at www.access-society.ca/
In November of 2006, torrential downpours across the American Northwest resulted in extensive flooding that caused an unprecedented amount of damage to the roadways, campgrounds, and trails of Mt. Rainier National Park. Repair costs of front country resources and lower elevation trails alone is expected to exceed $36 million dollars, with extensive levels of damage to backcountry resources which remain undetermined until this years snowpack melts.
As a primary destination for mountaineering in North America, the Access Fund is assisting with the rehabilitation of Mt. Rainiers alpine trails, campgrounds, and climbers resources. Restoration projects will begin this summer once an inventory of projects has been compiled and will likely take two to three summer seasons of work to complete.
The Student Conservation Association (SCA) was named to lead the recovery efforts and the Access Fund looks forward to working with SCA and our grassroots network towards spearheading projects that directly rehabilitate climbing resources in this valuable alpine environment.
To learn more visit the Student Conservation Association website: www.thesca.org/Mt_Rainier_Recovery/ or contact Kristo Torgersen at firstname.lastname@example.com.

On February 15th, attorneys for the Access Fund appeared before a three-judge panel of the federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco to urge the court to overturn the Forest Services ban on climbing access at Cave Rock on Lake Tahoes Nevada shore.
In oral argument, Access Fund attorney Jeremy Kernodle of the Dallas law firm of Haynes and Boone argued, among other things, that climbers were the only recreational group subject to the ban, while hikers, picnickers, boaters and fisherman were free to use the rock and the surrounding area as they wished.
The Forest Service issued a management plan for Cave Rock in 2003 prohibiting climbing on the formation. Following an unsuccessful administrative appeal to the Forest Service, the Access Fund filed suit in federal court in Nevada. In 2005, the District Court upheld the ban on the grounds that, in addition to protecting Washoe spiritual practices, the ban also had secular purposes. The court of appeals will issue its decision sometime later this year.

In 2004, after many years of closure, the Allen Spur climbing crag was reopened. The reestablishment of climbing at Allen Spur came after much hard work by SMCC members who negotiated an easement with landowners, surveyed the trail location and constructed trails to the crag. Now, less than 3 years later, closure of the crag is once again possible.
Recently, a few careless individuals have been accessing the crag via routes other than those built and maintained by SMCC. In other words, they are trespassing in order to make their hike shorter. This is a strict violation of the easement agreement SMCC has with landowner Hilda Harper. If this activity continues, landowners will have little choice but to once again close the crags.
The climbing access at Allen Spur is simple.
1) Park only at Carter Bridge fishing access. For the month of April, 2007 the Montana FWP will be doing construction to expand the Carter Bridge access site. Please do not block construction machinery during that time.
2) After parking, walk north on the gravel road marked 'private drive'. Continue walking until you pass a small culvert. Turn right, after the culvert, onto a marked climbers trail. Follow the trail along a fence line, cross a gravel road and continue uphill past several switch-backs. You will then be on BLM land where the trail turns south and continues to the climbing areas.
Despite rumors to the contrary, this is the only legal climbing access to Allen Spur crags. DO NOT drive on the gravel road beyond Carter Bridge access. DO NOT access the crags by 'shortcutting' straight to the crags from East River Road. Both of these routes require trespassing across private land. Those who choose to trespass run the risk of arrest and may also cause landowners to close the area once and for all.
If you see or know of someone who insists on violating SMCC's easement agreement you should tell them to stop, or report them to authorities.
A map showing access at Allen Spur in detail is available for download at:cobalt.rocky.edu/~geology/allen_spur_access.pdf

The Western Massachusetts Climbers Coalition is in the early stages of acquiring a 9-acre property abutting Farley Ledge, arguably the best piece of rock between Rumney and the Gunks. The purchase would be for the creation of a permanent parking lot, approach trail, protection of natural buffers, and to prevent potential development close to the cliffs.
Farley Ledge is largely owned by Northeast Utilities, but their site license contains a recreational stipulation requiring that they provide recreational opportunities. As a result, access issues have always been over the parking and approach trails.
Farley has already been closed four times due to growing crowds and abutting landowner concerns. The WMCCs goal is to put an end to this cycle permanently through the acquisition of this property. The goal is to raise $75,000 by spring when the current landowner would like to close.
We will need everyones support for this project. This is likely the best thing to happen for western Mass climbing. Visit our website to learn more or to donate www.westernmacc.com. It would be a shame to loose this opportunity and be faced with new homes less than 100 from the cliff!
Pending final approval of the loan and closing, Torrent Falls has been purchased by Bob Matheny (Dr. Bob) with the assistance of Matt and Amy Tackett. Mark Meyers and his family will continue to live at Torrent and the area is not currently open for climbing. Details regarding long term access for climbing are being worked out and will be announced when available.

In February 2007, the Access Fund traveled to Hueco Tanks for the annual Hueco Rock Rodeo to advocate the Access Funds position and strategy and meet with park staff regarding the current status of access and potential threats to climbing at Hueco Tanks.
News of a potential transfer of Hueco Tanks from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) to the Texas Historical Commission (THC) surfaced in December 2006. In early February a letter from THC to the Access Fund stated that Hueco Tanks had been removed from the list for transfer. However, as the premiere cultural resource in the state, it is possible that this issue will resurface.
Additionally, there is a bill up for approval in the Texas Legislature which would provide a much needed increase of funding for Texas state and local parks (including Reimers Ranch).
During the visit to Hueco Tanks, the Access Fund met with Hueco Tanks Park Superintendent and Complex Manger to discuss strategy in support of TPWDs management and offer the resources of the Access Fund to achieve the common interests of the park and climbers. The Access Fund circulated a petition at the Hueco Rock Rodeo to educate climbers on the issue and gain signatures from Texan residents supporting the management of Hueco by TPWD and the allocation of additional funding to Texas State Parks.
During the third week of March the Access Fund was back in Texas to conduct an Austin-based lobbying initiative that included Texas climbers and other allied interest groups in meeting with Texas legislators and public land agency officials to preserve the financial security of Texas State Parks and Hueco Tanks in particular.
In February the Southwestern Montana Climbers Coalition http://montanaclimbers.org appealed a USFS decision in the Gallatin Travel Management Plan that significantly restricts ice climbing access in Hyalite Canyon.
The USFS decision would install a gate in lower Hyalite Canyon effectively turning what were day climbs into at least an overnight endeavor that most climbers wouldnt do, especially those without snowmobiles. The SMCC appeal, which seeks to eliminate the gate proposal and identify a long terms access solution, is supported by the backcountry skiing community, statewide politicians and community leaders, the motorized community, and basically every other interest group. Access Fund assistance in support of the SMCC included reviewing their USFS appeal, and assistance with lobbying strategy and Congressional meetings in both Montana and Washington, DC.
A recent resolution conference between the SMCC and USFS offered a 4-point proposal: (1) prioritize plowing on the Hyalite Road; (2) work with ice climbers and other groups to determine standards for when it would be appropriate to gate the road; (3) re-route a snowmobile alternative for accessing backcountry ice routes; and (4) hold off implementing the part of the travel plan affecting ice climbers until #2 and #3 are in place. As a result of this compromise proposal the SMCC agreed to not file for judicial review as long as the good faith conversations and negotiations are moving forward between climbers and the USFS. The SMCC will not, however, withdraw its appeal prior to an acceptable settlement.
An Oregon bill that proposes mandating climbers on Mt. Hood to carry emergency locator beacons is poised to pass that states legislature.
We told you in our last E-News that the Access Fund opposes the mandatory use of these simple one way devices despite uninformed media pundits calling this position irresponsible. See the Access Fund testimony on the bill www.accessfund.org/pdf/HR_2509_Testimony.pdf. Find more background at www.accessfund.org/pubs/en/e-news77.htm - _Oregon_Beacon_Bill . Every mountain rescue unit in the state of Oregon opposes House Bill 2509 and the Mountain Rescue Association, which represents over 90 mountain rescue teams throughout North America, also opposes the bill. Steve Rollins with Portland Mountain Rescue, who has performed the rescues on Mt. Hood these last few months, also agrees with the Access Fund stance. Rollins says the legislature can't mandate good judgment. In an urban environment, we do everything we can do to make the world safe around us. And that is one of the beauties of the backcountry that it is untouched and it really is you and nature. I'm a strong believer that the laws of nature are going to be far more powerful than any law our legislators come up with. And if we can educate people to respect the laws of nature more, that will go a lot further than any law that we come up with.
The bill, while laudable in light of recent high profile rescue and recovery efforts that were featured in mainstream media of climbers on Oregons Mt. Hood, is a knee-jerk reaction and will not prevent climbers from being injured or killed in climbing related accidents. The bill simply adds a layer of red-tape to climbing a mountain and at worst could actually give less experienced climbers a sense of false security when presented with conditions out of their control (such as the fast-moving weather systems of the Pacific Northwest).
Despite climbing groups and professional rescuers coming out against the bill, in late March the Oregon House of Representatives voted 33-22 to require the locator devices for all Mt. Hood climbers traveling above 10,000 feet. The next step is for the bill to be assigned to a state Senate committee and then brought to that chamber for a vote. Oregon would become the first state to require such equipment if the bill is approved by the Senate and signed by the governor. It would go into effect as early as Jan. 1 2008.

In response to a Peters Kill climbing survey at Minnewaska State Park Preserve conducted by GCC Director-at-Large Bob OBrien (Minnewaskas Invasive Species Specialist), the park has recognized requests by frequent visitors of the climbing community for a season pass.
Eric Humphries, Minnewaskas new Superintendent, has issued the 2007 policy as follows: The Peters Kill Season Pass is $65 per individual and is valid for climbing/bouldering. The pass is valid from April 1st to December 15th, weather permitting. The Peters Kill Season Pass does not waive vehicle use fees at the other park entrances, and is valid only at the Peters Kill Area. Pass holder must present valid photo ID at check in. The Season Pass is Not Transferable and Non-Refundable. Pass Holder Must follow all park rules and regulations. Pass Holder will only be allowed entry if the climbing area has not reached the maximum number of permitted climbing/bouldering permits. The weekday/weekend day climbing pass remains $7.
For further information please contact the Minnewaska Park Preserve Office at 845-255-0752.
New also to this years Peters Kill climbing policy: climbers will be requested to check-out upon departure. Previously, once the maximum number of climbing visitors was reached, no further passes were issued. Check-out monitoring will allow the Peters Kill office to sustain the maximum number of climbing visitors during peak usage: 70 climbers and 30 boulderers.
The GCC wishes to thank Bob OBrien, Superintendent Humphries, and the Palisades Interstate Park Commission for accommodating the climbing communitys request for a season pass at Peters Kill.
The National Park Service at Pinnacles National Monument south of San Francisco, CA has begun revising its general management plan (GMP) which will serve as a blueprint to guide the park over the next twenty years.
This new master planning document for Pinnacles, home to hundreds of rock climbs, will identify important park issues, visitor opportunities, and program objectives many of which could affect current climbing policies www.pinnacles.org/climbing_info/index.htm. For more information on the GMP process, see www.nps.gov/pinn/parkmgmt/planning.htm
A draft GMP is expected for public review in fall 2008 with a final GMP scheduled for completion in 2009.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by lizziecole6 great gift idea much cuter than the case (which broke) that my ray-bans came in. i bought one for myself and one for my mom as a xmas present. the only thing that i'm nervous about is that the hinge seems a little bit off on one of them, and therefore the top doesn't quite lay flat with the bottom. crossing my fingers that this case doesn't break. November 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by BeachGirlBigCity Good Solid Case this provides a stylish alternative to the case that came with my eyeglasses. It's also good for those sunglasses you don't have cases for. It's nicely lined, looks great and is sturdy. October 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ycavirp Great piece! this is such a cute case. it's doubly awesome because i got it on sale! the size is fairly roomy, would fit most sunglasses although i ordered mine for my glasses. looking forward to taking it on my next trip! October 8, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5Â by rosillyvu LOVE IT! Definitely a great item to add to your purchase! It feels nice and protects my shades very well, I can toss it into my bag or into the car without worrying about my sunglasses.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by amysarah Great little case I bought 2, and I love these little cases. Very cute colors and nice quality. They close a bit loudly, so I close them slowly and carefully to avoid the 'snap' shut. Nice to toss into a purse or keep in the car! February 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Alison01 Fits even large framed glasses Mine was slightly crushed when I received it... the top and bottom don't perfectly align. But, it's adorable, and will do the trick at protecting glasses. January 29, 2014
